Is there anyone out there who can explain to me, a relative newcomer, what the HELL Encyclopedia Dramatica is?? Is it an admin-less version of Uncyclopedia, or something? Wikipedia's ED article is deleted-protected and Uncyc's article links to something that doesn't tell me much. Also, I've seen it mentioned several times while browsing the forums. So unless it's complete taboo, can someone fill me in? Much obliged. --Andorin Kato 20:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

It's a twisted wiki that thinks old man bukkake and constant displays of Goatse are funny. --General Insineratehymn 20:47, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

That much makes enough sense... but if it's that stupid, why is it still around? Was it a good, justice-serving wiki like this one that became corrupted and fell to the dark side? --Andorin Kato 20:49, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Because Natural Selection does not work on the Internet and really stupid people and really stupid web sites do not die, like in real life. If the really stupid people have the money to host a web site you get stupid web sites like ED, or Atheists for Jesus (People who claim that God does not exist, and if he did, he is an Atheist like they are. So they agree to worship someone who does not exist and follow the Bible, but only the chapters of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the Ebonites. Also they claim that real Christians like George W. Bush who are right-wingers have hijacked Jesus who does not exist, and that Liberal Christians have to help Atheists rescue Jesus, who does not exist, from the right-wingers.), etc. --Lt.

I swear to atheist-god, the next time I hear you bring up politics I'm going to stab somebody. --User:Nintendorulez 21:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

ZOE EM GEE, I agree with Nin for once. The world must be ending.---Rev. Isra (talk) 06:16, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, one of the four horsemen is already a contributor to the wiki, so now we have two pieces of evidence that the apocalypse is coming soon... --User:Nintendorulez 20:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Can I bring up science theories based on politics instead, like Schroedinger's Jesus? --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 21:58, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Huh? --Andorin Kato 21:41, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

If you were to take an infinite mass of shit, and compress it into a small gob with a 5-cm radius, soak it in Hitler's blood, leave it in Goa Tse's opening for 24 hourse, and then convert the result into a wiki, you would get a site almost as putrid, lame, and foul as ED. --User:Nintendorulez 20:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Is it an actual wiki? If so, why does Wikimedia allow it to exist? --Andorin Kato 20:56, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikimedia doesn't control all of the universe's wikis. It's just some crap site full of trolls running MediaWiki. --User:Nintendorulez 20:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikimedia only controls things like Wikipedia and Wikibooks and all the stuff we have but change "Un" to "Wiki." Crazyswordsman...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 21:25, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I stand corrected. --Andorin Kato 21:28, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

You want "Wikia". --AAA! (AAAA) 05:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

If you want to see first-hand, simply do a google search, and you'll find it. --The Divine Fluffalizer - [t m] 22:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I looked... but I wasn't impressed. Still confused, hence my post, but not impressed. Not like I was here. --Andorin Kato 22:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

You can be forgiven for your confusion- ED seems to thrive on the alienation of outsiders. --Sir Jam 23:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Whereas we wrap them in a blanket straight out of the dryer and give them some soup.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 03:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I never got any of that stuff... --Andorin Kato 04:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

It should have come with your 'Welcome' template.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 05:16, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

- There you go --Sir Jam 10:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

ED is Uncyclopedia not caring. --Uncyclon - Do we still link to BENSON? 11:13, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Has anyone else noticed we give ED more press than any other site on the internet?--<<>> 14:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

/me puts on redshirt ...and Kirk wouldn't STFU about Khan, either.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 14:26, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

That's so true. Maybe to continue with our theme of advertising for them we should do a reskin. And if not them, how about the demonica one? --KWild 15:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Trust me, it's been tried before. --The Rt. Hon. BarryC MUN (Symposium!) Sigh. Double Sigh. 17:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Tried? What happened then? --KWild 05:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

It's shot down every time because of the not caring about ED policy. --Uncyclon - Do we still link to BENSON? 07:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I get it now. Although it might be fun to see what they would do though... --KWild 11:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
