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.

Exactly, that's how I wound up discovering it. I'm still split whether my first lolcow would be Jessi Slaughter or Chris Chan, but it was the Jessi Slaughter stuff where I discovered it all.
The "Niggers" article was the first one I read and don't think I have ever laughed that hard at the internet. It introduced me to Chris Chan too which led me to Kiwi Farms. And for some reason Jessi Slaughter seems to be a protected hefier around here (even more in Witness Protection than Wallflower and Suitress) so ED was the only real source of info on that one.

Also the Chris Hanson pop-ups and pedobear stamps on articles about degenerate creeps still split my sides to this day.

The current incarnation has AIDSzero's titty pics scrubbed along with a bunch of funny pics from the Nigger article as well. Encyclopedia Gaymatica.
:story:

Nice OP though. Good job. And I will give kudos to DeHippo for just leaving her noods and shoops on the internet and moving on.
 
Sometimes ED editors will literally just make shit up, like this part in the Null/Joshua Connor Moon article that is intermixed with actual, legitimate information about Null's old BL drama:

isn't there evidence that this part of the article was admitted to be faked by the guy who wrote it? would like to see the proof added here if possible

I think lots of the Jessi Slaughter stuff is also troll's remorse since she went through a lot, and if I recall her dad hit her? The last thing I knew what happened with her is that she trooned out and became a pooner.
 
Good thread! I think it's worth pointing out in the OhInternet section that part of why EDiots were so livid about it was because, at the time, they were carefully constructing a SFW version of ED themselves called WhatPort80. Rather than give them a chance to finish it, DeHippo fucked them all over. She's also sitting on a dragon's hoard of every image on pre-2010 ED, which is why so many older articles only have thumbnails and not full images.
Great work so far @The Noise, would it be worth having a section on EDF in this OP as well?
since dank says a gamer word in here, gonna archive it

I have added this information to the OP.

I was going to do this big thing about the conclusion I came to about why that bit was made up and then I came across this post from Null:

I'll bite.

The quote on the ED page you're referring to was added by a user called NeufNeuf who has edited no other page.
https://archive.is/FZYhU

The quote was the 2nd thing added to the page.
https://archive.is/SODuA

He tried to remove it the next day saying he made it up.
https://archive.is/5DiHg

Someone reverted the edit and later a sysop locked the page. It has remained there since.
https://archive.is/irXTW
So there you go. Someone probably got banned, called Null a pedo out of spite, tried to take it back, and then ED reverted the takeback and locked the page because they think libel is funny.
There's already like 4 ED threads. How many more times is someone gonna post "I didn't even know it was still up"
Because it is constantly down. Ever since Zaiger got kicked out, none of the admins have been able to keep the site up for very long. Despite Null literally having a list of deplatforming-resistant service providers publicly available, they continue to insist on webhosts that shut you down if you get one too many angry emails.

That's not to mention that there's been at least one instance in the past of multiple ED sites existing at once and insisting they're the Real Encyclopedia Dramatica. Unless you're autistically keeping track in a Discord or some shit it's easy to lose track and just think the site is dead when they have to hop to a brand new domain every month.

Great OP! I think this rundown really spells out the reason why the site keeps going down and why the site admins are almost always drug addicts or degenerates: The site's very culture attracts such individuals. You have to be lolcow-tier yourself in order to be even the slightest bit interested in keeping such a site alive.

(I think the gif that's shown in the An Hero infobox is from an actual video of a guy killing himself.)

It is. More specifically Budd Dwyer.

I have seen the full video, it's actually far more graphic. The GIF on ED cuts off before he slumps over and blood pours from his mouth and nose.

It was definitely possible to maintain the site but I ultimately think the thing that killed them was not having a Null of their own. There was no "adult in the room" to handle issues with the site when something would break or when a powerful person would find their article and threaten a lawsuit.

Ass Napkins was retarded but I agree with his plan of making an LLC for the site in principle. When Zaiger got sued he had to swallow a massive legal bill by himself because there was nothing in place to help him with the costs. More importantly, there was no central personality to rally around when things got rough--just an increasingly retarded series of absentee fathers who were totally disinterested in maintaining the site, keeping regular backups, having contingency plans in place for rainy days, etc. They capitulated to Vordrak almost immediately when he threatened them and then Likeicare had the audacity to come here and bitch at Null for correctly pointing out that their "give no fucks" ideals were now meaningless. They could dish out but they couldn't take it. Put that on their tombstone.
 
One question, how does @LikeicareKF fit into all of this? Or was he an EDF admin and not a wiki admin?
I will add him if I feel I can find enough good info but his only contributions to ED history seem to be:
  • Trying to look cool in front of Ralph by saying he was an ED admin on Twitter (A-Logging Ralph seems to be a reoccurring minor theme for EDiots)
  • Apparently might have brought the site back up during one of its many downtimes?
  • Coming to the Farms to bitch at Null for pointing out that removing information in Vordrak's article wouldn't be enough and that he would eventually come after their entire site (this is why the current ED thread has the subtitle "Capitulation: The Thread")
If there's more it was probably lost during one of the site's many prolonged downtime periods or some past version of EDF. If anyone has anything more I'd include it.
 
How the hell did she manage to fail upward into becoming Director of Threat Intelligence Strategy at Microsoft
For all of her faults, DeGrippo seems to actually be quite Good At Computers. I think in the ED wikipedia article it states that some of the earliest articles added to the wiki were about computer hackers that she was following. She is probably the most technically competent admin they ever had.
 
Let's see..
>Girlvinyl couldn't handle what she created and attempted to destroy it.
sounds about right
>Zaiger was addicted to heroin and attempted to sell ED out for drug money.
He first put pop-up porn ads on the wiki before attempting to sell it. Might have made some cash in the short term, but they were almost certainly riddled with warez, and combined with Atchison's 15 minutes of terror they scared off a lot of the "target audience".
>Sibin was a pretty cool guy who just didn't want to deal with retards harassing his family., [Not mentioned in the OP]
Retard. Singular. Onideus got banned from the ED subreddit, and then Reddit in general. He then shared his cogent, rational viewpoints on the subject by phonebooking Sibin and scaring him off. @SeeBeen, if you're watching this, I wish you well.
>Conrad got arrested for cyber crimes
We think it had something to do with stolen valor.
>Aediot was a diaper-shitting faggot whose girlfriend left him to fuck Conrad
Mr. Stellmach would have you believe assnapkins are not, in fact, diapers, but the rest is true
>Umk couldn't just ask adults for footjobs like a normal person, [Not mentioned in the OP]
And the grooming victim in question went on to lead a Discord cult of personality
>kaizen couldn't handle having pizza sent to his house, [Not mentioned in the OP]
He still visits from time to time, but is more focused on [REDACTED] nowadays.
>PAX probably didn't even exist [Not mentioned in the OP]
Only Kaizen could tell you about this one, and he wouldn't tell me, soz

IIRC the porn and warez ads were what made the most money. That's the only reason he pikced them.

The arrest states it was computer crimes + four counts of stolen valor.
