Encyclopedia Dramatica

Encyclopedia Dramatica (abbreviated as ED) is a satire wiki founded in 2004 by Sherrod DeGrippo, the wiki good for documenting things wrong with said topic and are known to host their internet raids (although this is not the case anymore since nobody gives a shit about ED). In their ED is Not article, they say that their purpose is to document internet drama and drama only. Which was later ignored and never even changed because both admins and users don't have time to read every single ED Policy article. The current people who edit and host this site are unfortunately oldfag larpers and people who have no clue about internet culture.

Their content (supposedly on purpose) is mostly just template spam and lots of hyperlinks to the "Niggers" and "Faggot" page. Most people who edit pages will be too afraid to include newer jokes in the article, since they would be out of character for ED. It has been like this since 2008.

encyclopediadramatica.com

ED was made in December 2004 by Girlvinyl (Real name: Sherrod DeGrippo), who was a DOE counterintel agent at the time, made the site to originally document LiveJournal drama. It would later attract people from 4chan, GNAA, Bantown, and others in later 2005. Girlvinyl was known as the queen of ED by it's users, this would later change in 2011 as she redirected the Encyclopedia Dramatica.com site to her KnowYourMeme clone (which only lasted 2 years), OhInternet. Now all of a sudden the former ED users hate the "Queen of ED", and decided to leak her nudes and harass her.

After this, Web Ecology Project published an archive of 9401 articles (over 9000 in oldfag larping terms) on ED that had been saved in total. Which was later used in the second website.

encyclopediadramatica.ch

The .ch version was made by ViraL (Real name: Ryan Cleary). Ryan Cleary is known for being in the infamous script kiddie group, Lulzsec. Obviously, he eventually got caught like every Lulzsec member did and can no longer do his scary DDoS attacks and doxes. It was later found out he had Aspergers (makes sense) and had child porn saved on his drive at age 21.

encyclopediadramatica.se

The .se fork was made by Garrett E. Moore (Aka Zaiger). This was by far the best era of the site, the Main Page was beautiful, the logo looked decent, everything. Just kidding, there was scam and porn pop-up ads everywhere. Just clicking the search bar you will be greeted with porn. Garrett also said that he doesn't support making fun of underage people and doxing 14 year old girls (lame). He also reportedly had difficulty hosting the site too, and later was shut down in 2013. And then back up in 2014, but then back down in 2017. And then later back up in 2020, but then finally back down again the same year.
