Plagued Encyclopedia Dramatica - The Kiwi Farms that time forgot, ownership passed around a multitude of drug addicts and losers like a cheap prostitute, constantly offline, dead any day now, graveyard of shitty millennial humor.

and yet you didn't notify anyone

he was telling you he was about to commit a heinous act

h-anus

so obvious


Some people actually legit "knew" he would do this.
Several users were so sure he will, sooner or later, go on a shooting spree, that they started keeping a file on him 2 years in advance so they'd have something to put in the article.
 
big part of internet culture just gone like the wind. hard too think i visited that site first time in 2007. the internet was a more innocent but chaotic fun place.

It'll be back, even more broken and out of date than before, and continue its long decline until the next time it catches on fire, falls apart, or gets hocked to buy drugs for the new admin.
 
Maybe we should bring back the Lolcow Wiki.
how much do we need to pay jaimas to write/update articles on every lolcow and significant internet event related to them since the last time he did anything with it? half his posts are already basically sourced articles on internet crap everywhere else is gonna lie about, already buried, or simply forgot, but there's not an easy way to find and refer to any of this since it's a post history and not a wiki.

@Jaimas articles were one of the few things worth anything on the lolcow wiki.

For instance, all the Brianna Wu / John Walker Flynt stuff.

And the Jake Alley stuff to. The lolcow wiki was good at doing what OPs are having trouble doing today, summarizing every key point in a lolcow's saga and making more profilic cows much easier to learn about without having to sift through dozens or sometimes hundreds of pages

The biggest problems with the Wiki (aside from the fact that I'm a wordy motherfucker used to tech writing and in dire need of an editor) is that for all intents and purposes I was the only one working on it, and covering even ONE lolcow is a gigantic timesink. Keeping them all up to date is a gigantic endeavor since "no shit too minor" is a thing, but when you have cows like Brianna Wu or Jake Alley, who basically lie about everything, or who cause self-sustaining nuclear autism reactions, as Wu is wont to do, covering them in any capacity is a fucking nightmare. You need to basically have a team of users experienced in wiki use for each one, because it is literally impossible to keep up with the trials and trifles of more active lolcows. Throw in Lolcow Convergence Events like Wu versus Jace and you have a recipe for needing to burn the midnight oil to get articles done.

CatParty and I had a good laugh once in that the old-format Wu article was longer than Wikipedia's article on Hitler, but one of the biggest reasons that was the case was how often I had to go back in and correct shit once new information became available because Wu lied again. That's on top of dozens of subsidiary articles covering the entire Wu trainwreck beginning to end. As one subject, Wu made this process so much of a fucking trash-fire that by the time I added the navigation menu at the bottom of her articles, a-la the CWCki, I had done over a dozen and a half articles all related to Brianna Wu, either directly or tangentially, and while I was praying she'd chill the fuck out in her later years like some other cows, she decided to run for office.

It's a staggering project in scope and not everyone has the head for wiki work. As things stand I just don't have the free time I used to in order to work on such a project, and even if I did I'm one editor.
 
Damn that really sucks, I really got a kick out of ED. My favorite article by far was the one that categorized High Scores. They'd been collecting info on every sperg that couldn't control his virgin rage and just had to chimp out for over a decade, so it's really a shame that article isn't gonna get updated any longer :(

Also one of the main guys who updated it was the Couch Cuck @FuckYou who posted here until he went on a near total failure of a shooting spree himself.

He had some tough competition on there with guys like the kid who flew a Cessna into a building and didn't snackbar anyone but himself.

Hell, for all we know he could have been inspired by it.
 
Our users are fun
your users are boring
call me when your site has at least 1 dead hooker

(btw I went on the Dick Show again to tell more stupid stories and talk about mandi. So if you liked it, this week's episode has more of that)
How long before the forum is back up and running?
 
We're live.
Beat me to it. And also, here's the article explaining what happened last year. Although it doesn't explain what happened on Jan. 10 this year that caused it to blackout for so long. Plus Zaiger's full doxx inside, the hilarious sad news that Mandi Brown has passed away and Conrad Rockenhaus is in prison. Damn ED, you never disappoint.
