Encyclopedia Dramatica: An important cause without a home

Encyclopedia Dramatica to be sued out of existence by notorious copyright troll
ED needs $50,000 in 6 months or it's sunk by a frivolous lawsuit


We know ED as an important piece of internet history and culture. It's a repository I've used on multiple occasions to learn, which may surprise you if you're only familiar with it as a site full of insulting and funny articles.

It's a SLAPP lawsuit. Meaning it's total junk, the plaintiff doesn't plan on winning, just draining money from the victim by forcing them to mount a legal defense. ED is obviously in the clear. But that's what this guy does.

I don't know where else to go with this information. Reddit would be big, but it's normie central, and they don't like the internet. 4chan's coopted and I've never been anyway. I'll go give voat and gab.ai a try, after waiting for an account.

This may have come by here already. I apologize if it wasn't right of me to post this here. I just don't want to have to say goodbye to this good friend of the internet.

I don't give a fuck nerd

This is a feel I was not expecting or was ready for in the least.

Is the ED database open for download?

If not, then fuck them, if it is, then it can be immediately re-hosted just like the pirate bay. You shut down 1 pirate bay 5 more pop up.

Can't someone else just put up another mirror like they did when Oh Internet came into existence?

Are you even required to shill out $50k for a real jewish lawyer in cases like this? Can't you show up yourself? It seems pretty open and closed, it's either copyright infringement or not, jew makes his shill, you state your case, judge decides, end of lawsuit.

(checked)

I'm sure it is. I can't remember how many times ED went down and came back with a new host or a new owner.

ED is never going away

Polite sage

It costs a lot less than 50k to move and set up shop outside the legal jurisdiction of the EU.

Low energy begging thread.

i looked briefly and I can't find anywhere where it's publicly available for download

And nothing of value was lost.

Or for slightly less than fifty grand, download the cunt and host it yourself, like we did when blowhole deleted it

Encyclopedia Dramatica needs to go, it is a relic of the past and stopped beig funny when any retard withba vendetta started writing unfunny shit on it.

Modern times, I'll tell you.

Just release everything then shut it down

You should retard. That site holds the history of nearly every incident of online drama, along with shitloads of valuable information compiled about high profile libshits.

Then we must destroy it immediately. You’re not making ANY case for it.

Just like make an alternative

Enjoy not having access to the personal info of e-celebs and libshits.

If the site's source is public that's viable. Otherwise shit's fucked. That info has been gathered for around a decade.

...

I'm sure if worse comes worse the site owners will just upload the entire database online either to everyone, in a move similar to wikileaks, or will give the database to a elect few individuals to restart the site somewhere else.

Encyclopedia Dramatica has its own image board now
ae-chan
ED has been pozzed for years though

Sage because kike shill thread

Never forget that these fucking faggots sold out and are actually responsible for knowyourmeme

...

niggers tongue my anus

I prefer the direct approach. Is there anybody in Monsarrat's town who likes to bash pedo scum? Because that might persuade the pervert to mend his ways.

Yes, I know nothing will happen. This is Holla Forums, nobody ever does shit to the evildoers. I can dream, though.

This is just going to get his shit spread around even more. He can' sue the whole internet, though I would like to see him try.

...

(checked)

This. Hail Hydra. Also, there should be plenty of faggots willing to defend the site for free, on principle. Muh free peaches and shieeet.

It names the Jew. It screams it in fact. And I know it's supposed to be satire but you can tell when political articles are written with some sense of seriousness. This site either helps redpill people or softens them up first. One of the funniest pages was the old Nigger Manual. The page on Jews was personally where I first saw the Jews did 9/11 meme…or w/e it is as it and the page about it are decently written and informative.

Do it 4 ED, I guess.

So a lolcow is suing ED, what could possibly go wrong.
archive.li/RpMdh

Then you're fucking retarded for wanting to eradicate 10 years of internet history.

...

I fucking hate the (((judical system)))

This.
Fuck them and just relocate.
I doubt that it's even that big.

reminder that HTTrack is a powerful tool to download an offline version of a site. That won't help ED with the lawsuit but it's important to keep sites/wiki on a local drive.

and nothing of value was lost

...

Bump

I seem to remember that site being pozzed af. Has something changed in the past few years?

article quality depends on who writes them
some pages are great
encyclopediadramatica.rs/Stylometry

Implying this just won't all be mirrored somewhere else, always have the wayback machine and stuff too.

Well from the impression I've gotten at this point is that they're essentially edgy, only ironically-racist liberals. They're not actually Holla Forums at all and if anything think of us and people like us as crazy conspiracy theorists. I know the current admin got buddy-buddy with a lot of cancer in GamerGate (even going to IRL GG meetups). Basically anyone thinking ED is Holla Forums is sadly mistaken, they're just edgy liberals who pretend to be racist for teh loolz. Or at least, that's the impression I've gotten.

Not to say that there's nothing of value on that site that would be a shame if it got shut down, though.

TRIPS WILL IT

Wonder if whoever runs it would consider uploading the entire sites files to mega so anons could make a million clones of it.

Also, we should dig into this fuck I bet we could find some shit that will send him running with his shekels between his legs.

Probably won't happen. As the owners of ED wants to get rich on it.

Instead of begging for donations like letsplayers maybe they could sell some shirts with a decent design.


There are Holla Forumsacks, goons, Holla Forumstards, Holla Forumstards, /cow/boys, liberals, commies, conservatives, nazis, and an assortment of newfags and oldfags that hang out on ED. They might infight a lot on the forums, but their only real affiliation is to whatever's funny.

I fail to see how that site can do much more than pay for itself. If he is making more than server costs + 500/month Id be fucking shocked.

They revile humor and 90% of what is on ED would trigger them into a coma

t. newfag

Didn't say they were funny, just that they hang out there to write about Onision and whatever boring nerd drama is happening on deviantart.
They were so butthurt at the Donald Trump article that they had to write a safespace version lol
encyclopediadramatica.rs/The_Donald
encyclopediadramatica.rs/Donald_Drumpf

Look at the disparity between their pages on national socialism and their page on communism and get back to me on why I should ever give a shit about this site existing.

ED is a resource that newfags have used to infiltrate our communities for years. Though, I guess taking it down would achieve nothing at this point. We still have KnowYourMeme which is twice as bad.

?

Give money to wesearchr goyim… yes yes… fun (((ED)))

wew, that convinced me, how would one go about archiving all the articles?

Am I on the wrong ED? It was the opposite for me.

Not sure. They make fun of both sides, but there isn't any favoritism towards commies.
encyclopediadramatica.rs/Nazi
encyclopediadramatica.rs/Communism

This Monsarrat has been dunked on before so why not just use this as a blueprint on how to shoo his ass away?

techdirt.com/articles/20130608/08444123372/jonathan-monsarrat-drops-ridiculous-lawsuit-against-online-commenters.shtml

If the plaintiff has no chance of winning, then why can't they defend themselves in court? After a few weeks of reading the relevant laws and histories of similar cases they should know what to do or say to probe the suit is frivolous.

pretty damn funny
this kind of shit that brought me to Holla Forums to begin with.
in what kind of world are parodies more truthful than reality?

lmao

Fuck ED, let it burn.

I wrote them off when they cucked and made pro-sjw counterpart articles to thier original ones because people criticized they weren't attacking shitlords enough, and as usual the same critics are still complaining regardless. Let it burn so it can be reborn the right way.

That stupid bitch ohinternet managed to wipeout a significant chunk of internet history when she tried to kill it the first time. I hope there are more significant archives available now.

There's no unified group of editors, just go to the clusterfuck of an IRC to get an idea. Also commie faggots have been gaining influence even if the core is still around running damage control.

And the people who bitched for that are still bitching and want ED gone or converted fully. Its as if giving commies an inch gains nothing, who knew?

good

I used to be pissed about that, then I reallized there might be a benefit of not havng a glossary for newfags and shills just trying to fit in. To enjoy this shit you needed to be there when it happened. It's gay but not the end of the world.

And by us I mean not you.
This is what I mean, newfags use it as a glossary.

God, this is pathetic. Their forums are also pure cancer. Let it die or change owner.

Can't stop the signal. Lmao @ trying to shut down a wiki site with a lawsuit. I hope he's ready to file 6 more, because that's what it'd take. Especially one like ED.

Meanwhile, if I were the real owner of ED, go figure it'd be a nice object lesson for Mr. Monsarrat: Don't attempt to destroy someone who's got nothing left to lose. When you got nothing to lose, you're free of all consequence.

Oh you mean like that fat fucking whale girlvinyl did?

That was GirlVinyl idiot. She was the one who shut down the original ED behind everyone's back so she could create a SFW, more profitable knock off called Oh Internet. Weev was the one who saved ED and brought it back.

Nigger ED back in its hay day was what got me into the chans and internet culture in general. You're going back to 2006. ED was the only place on the internet that complied everything you needed to know about halfchan and internet history. Anything you ever missed or wanted to know was on there.

Only newfags would have any problem with ED.

Check your comment and then check those digits. Then check them upside down. If you know what I know about all of this you'll be off to have a little chat with the one creator.

At least it will teach faggots to lurk more, or be a proper assimilated member of a specific board's subculture before posting shit. At worst, allow them to ask. While ED is great with banter and all the glorious shit it brings, it's not really an issue. Besides, back that shit up and re-emerge.

I wouldn't give muh hard-earned shekels to legit WN causes, you think I'm going to shill for the autist-spergs over at ED?

GO HOME, (((RABBI))) - YOU'RE DRUNK!

fuck ED
antiwhite Holla Forumstard scum that belong in a gas chamber

uıƃƃǝɹ

Yes. Several people have it. I'm sure it's missing some pictures, but it can't be any worse than the current site.

It could be largely restored to it's former glory, but literallly no one has the skills, time, money, or motivation to do it.

LOOK AT THOSE

Also I got servers so feel free to contact me

The original owner of ED decided to "grow up" at some point and sold the .com site and linked it to something called "Oh Internet!", a Know your Meme clone.
The trick was that she waited some time and never told anything to anyone, so people thought site was just down for maintenance. Only when Google Cache was empty they revealed what has happened.


When the original ED.com died, a new one was made using a backup some guys did two months earlier. The backup was text-only, so a lot of things were lost forever:
- Images. All of them. The userbase was encouraged to concentrate on this. I remember feeding my favorite article with pictures from my folder.
- Talk Pages
- History of edits

This.
DON'T GIVE THEM A SINGLE SHEKEL
They have already jumped from the .se domain to the .es one and others I can't remember. They didn't asked for donations the way they're doing it now. If they want cash just put porn ads up the ass.
Let them put the site in a TOR site or whatever, there's no excuse for this faggotry.

This. I'm not gonna pretend I didn't love ED ten years ago or so, but the personalities involved in it have always been kiwifarms-tier untermensch

As is typical of internet communities with the potential to whore yourself for e-fame, the faggotry rises to the top.

the main reason is because they're suing the main owner and caretaker of the site zaiger, who deals with the every day nonsense (besides the coding because he's not an autistic savant coder)

ed has a special place in my heart, if the jackass hadn't sued the main guy i would probably give 0 fucks but it is what it is

welcome to the new 'mericuhh

also it's encylopaedia dramatica

Kill self first poster cunt.

I like the hydra approach, fuck the "raise money for legal defense approach".

> The remainder is then sent to a kike owned law firm, so an internecine (((legal battle))) can ensue, enriching kikes and wasting everyone else's time.
puts collected funds back into a kike

Ignore bottom part.

plus it can be copied

RIP .se you provided many lulz during the great triggering. May your rebirth be even lulzier than before.

HEY Holla Forums! be on the lookout! bookstores are pushing the book "the rainbow fish" really hard right now! I dare to you go read your old copy from when you were a baby! it's disgusting globalist propaganda! make people aware of it's disgusting message and expose it for what it really is!

ED is fairer than other sites at least seeing they're the few who tell the truth about Gamergate. What's their bitshekel address? I'll give some pocket change.

this. also, if I donate and ED wins the lawsuit plus damages, what's my ROI? nothing? all right then

Problem:
>(((BASED))) [x] is being attacked by the Jews!
Reaction:
Solution:
>send (((BASED))) [x] your shekels.
Only the same strategy as every "right-wing" e-celeb has employed for the past 2 years.
ED confirmed linked to the other Kikes.

Actually I remember now.
The story is that Weev and his Jewish colleagues launched a personal campaign against a guy, attempting to drive him out of business by making ED the first search result which appears when his name is entered on Google.
The guy (I can't remember his name but he has made videos about it) received constant threats at home and he gave them the chance to remove the false info many times before starting legal action.
Weev demanded that he send nude pictures of himself in exchange.
So he's suing instead.
Yes, this thread was probably started by Aurenheimer, the Jewish fake right-wing shill.

wtf isthis get lmao

SLAPP laws are designed specifically to prevent you from needing $50k to defend a frivolous lawsuit.

ED is our greatest ally but it will never go down. Countless attempts always result in it changing hands and this time will be no different. I'll toss a shekel if you want though but it better be through buttcoin.

So it looks like leftypol is interested in taking it over.

I SEE YOU'VE GOT SOME BALLS, KID

I hear ED has its own imageboard floating around somewhere, anyone got the link?

This kinda reminds me of Andrew Anglin and the $$$ he's raising.

lurk two years before your next post newfaggot
