The forum will have some maintenance done in the next couple of months. We have also made a decision concerning AI art in the art section.


Please see this post for more details.

Hey, Encyclopedia Dramatica went down!

Oh, but darn, now where will I be able to read whole articles of "fag" and "Jew" when I must?

Now *that* is interesting.  No idea how long it'll stay down though, I think there's a high demand of troll articles.

Apparently its been replaced by 'Oh Internet', which isn't as extreme.

Then you're missing out a lot, my friend. TONS of LOLs and ROFLs to be found on that site. Seriously, I go there everytime I need to make myself giggle. :lol

...try not to take the site as offensive, though. They're all just meant to be jokes. ;)

No, it's not. It's a site there trolls rage without consequence.

I've heard about ED a long while back.

They've even dedicated an entire page to "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic."

Well, I don't like being told that everything I like is crap and that I'm an idiot for liking it.

But seriously, I love the people who complain about Encyclopedia Dramatica. It's those people that make ED as popular as it is. And you know what? ED can say whatever they want. It's a little something called Freedom of Speech. Yeah what they say isn't nice but the world and teh internetz aren't exactly nice places. I've said it before: You act like an idiot on the internet, you're going to be treated like an idiot. That's why people like Chris Chan, Aknotholeresident, and Christianu2uber have articles on ED, because they made fools out of themselves. Don't make yourself look stupid, you won't be ridiculed.

@EggStealerGirl, I didn't see the Friendship is Magic article you were talking about. I found a My Little Pony article but it said nothing about Friendship is Magic.

That's why I don't typically even talk about ED. I'm only voicing my opinion now that the infernal place is dead.

Yes, I did. Still not the same thing since that new site is nowhere near as extreme.

I dunno. I just don't see the point in getting angry about Encyclopedia Dramatica. What will getting angry about it really accomplish? Think of it this way: The more anger you show towards it, the more popular it becomes. If you really hate the site so much, just ignore it. It won't go away but it won't be as popular.

As for me, I kind of like Encyclopedia Dramatica. They've made fun of things I like (One Piece for example) but I usually find what they have to say hilarious. I actually crack up every time I read their One Piece article.

That's why I stayed quiet about it, I repeat. I didn't hate on it and gain it attention. I said that quite clearly.

How is whole articles of "fag" and "Jew" hilarious? It's not humor. It's raging trolls venting their angry under the pretens of humor.

No, Whose Line Is It, Anyway is funny. Mel Brooks is funny. Richard Prior is funny. Robin Williams is funny. The Nostalgia Critic is funny. Bill Cosby is funny. If ED is considered funny, then no wonder the Movie Movie guys are able to make it.
