Hey guys! If you think that ohinternet.com is a "new format" of ED, I've got some nice swampland you really need to buy....

It's not a reformatted ED. Oh Internet was constructed from scratch.

Why did Ed close? Was there some lawsuit we don't know about? Seems strange it just vanished like that.

Good riddance.

Wait a minute, are you saying none of those stolen wigs will ever be returned to their rightful owners?

Think of all the endangered mountain gorillas out there who now have no pubic hair, and for what? It all seems so tragically pointless.

Mr. Brandt, did you finally get thru to them, and that's why ED is "gone for good"?

He/she is that lovable all-Tor-all-the-time researcher on WR. A damn good researcher. Hats off to him/her.

But isn't this always how these things end up? I mean, you put together a perfectly good shock site, dedicated to racism, bigotry, sexism, homophobia, and advocacy of a wide variety of sexual perversions, only to have it ruined by 12-year-old btard fgz. I mean, what's the point of even trying anymore?

Good riddance.

I'll drink to that. And to more or less anything else, these days. But don't let my nascent alcoholism diminish the glory of this accomplishment.

This new "ohinternet" is down for me...

But the larger issue is that ED should have purged these losers in 2006. ED waited too long, and now there are a lot of them, and they are all mad as hell at Sherrod. Most of ED's high traffic was fueled by the btard affinity for vulgarity and kinkiness. It will be difficult for ohinternet.com to succeed without that sort of magnetism, it seems to me.

The log proves the cream of wikipedia's intelligentsia edited there.

Kinda reminds me of uncensored Bevis+Butthead meets blue stoner standup. You have to smoke a lot of weed to even read it. (I imagine)

What gives these people the right to usurp the Encyclopedia Dramatica name and steal over six hard years of other authors' work?

CC-BY-SA. Ah I see they didn't use the CC licenses. If the server is in the US send a DMCA notice, or file a complaint with the domain registrar.

If you want to legitimately cover Internet-related topics, you use Wikipedia. The niche that ED filled was to cover Internet culture in a more amusing and chaotic way. I can't see this new site going anywhere.

If DeGrippo sounds suspiciously like someone hoping to sell a hot property—meme-documentation rival Know Your Meme was recently sold to The Cheezburger Network for a "low seven-figure payday"—she's not letting on.

Dear Ms. DeGrippo:

Do you have an email address for Long Dong Silver? Or if you prefer,
can you forward this email to him?

Earlier this month, he wrote this:
http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/cz9q...sop_ama/c0wfrm3

"As a note to any other people with a similar issue. When requesting a
removal or edit to a page, a nicely worded email will often suffice.
Cursing, ranting, and frivolous legal threats result in it being
featured on the front page as the Article Of The Now."

I wish to request the removal of the article about me on ED:
http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Daniel_Brandt

It shows up as number 1 in both Google and Yahoo in a search for
"daniel brandt" without the quotation marks. Bing.com apparently has
the good taste to not index this page at all.

I am president of a tax-exempt public charity, and our board of directors
feels that this article has a negative impact on our ability to obtain
foundation funding to support our projects. They have asked me to request
that it be deleted.

Thank you,
Daniel Brandt

I've actually switched to using Bing as opposed to google in part for this reason. It's sort of like quitting smoking, you can't quite get away from it (esp. with gbooks) but it is sort of funny when the evil corporation Microsoft turns out to be actually less evil, at least along one dimension, than the corporation that is running around in the "I am not evil" t-shirt. The kids, so ironic these days.

Michael, you're an ED admin--do they tell you about these things (setting up OI, shutting down ED) beforehand?

Yes. You can see and judge for yourself. The sysops and I first learned about the plan on January 24, but I wasn't invited to join the ohinternet.com wiki until February 8. It wasn't an easy decision to make. I made a few articles, but I didn't have the same enthusiasm for the new wiki as I did with the old one. I felt more at home at ED. I didn't see the point of begging Sherrod to keep a wiki that was clearly draining her spirits, so I never tried and spent most of my time making the users at ED comfortable. My only regret is not being permitted to tell the other users, but I didn't want to break the trust Sherrod and the other sysops placed in me.

Wait, so ED is officially permanently gone?

Damn, shoulda saved that nude pic of McBride when I had the chance (wait, I think Alison deleted it, anyway ...)

The /b/tards can't seem to comprehend what the word copyright means. ED had a far stronger copyright policy than the weak CC by SA thing that Wikipedia has and this .ch fork would have to, at the very least, give attribution to ED for their copied information.

But they haven't and can't seem to understand why they have to.

I'm so hoping that Sherrod will get their service provider to shut them down.

A 'juggalo' is an individual with an unhealthy obsession with the musical workings of rap group Insane Clown Posse. Juggalos are known for wearing clan make-up in public, bumming around trailer parks, showing devotion to the 'family', going to juggalo gatherings, and having children out of wedlock. Juggalos may be found online on Youtube, Myspace, and occasionally in Furry communities.

A Juggalo is a member of the Insane Clown Posse's cult of personality(Its a well known fact that all Juggalos are Lolcows). They are easy to spot, as they proudly wear their clown makeup in public, dress in dark clothing and behave without any class or dignity. They are not to be confused with goths, as goths have better taste in music. Typically hailing from trailer parks, these individuals are often fat, ugly, toothless, use an amount of profanity in conversation that even EDiots would find excessive, have no taste, smoke meth, so helplessly retarded if they killed themselves their Parents would be proud, and opt out of their educations in the 8th grade. Strangely enough, despite claiming to enjoy ICP for their musical merits (Insinuating they enjoy rap in general), you will never hear them listening to any music groups outside of the Psychopathic Records label. They are utterly oblivious and often hostile to the reality that the band and it's "music" is a parody, much like the more popular and successful joke of a white rapper, Eminem.

tl;dr: Take the worst of rap, the worst of rock, white trash, wiggerhood, MTV, mix generously with steaming shit, then throw clown face paint on top of the whole mess, and you get a Juggalo.

I don't have a problem with the lulz themselves, I approve of lulz where appropriate. However, they shouldn't have broken copyright. Is .ch so dependent on the original ED that it can't come up with new content on its own? Are the /b/tards that unoriginal?

3.3.2

Deletion by revocation

SWITCH revokes the registration of a domain name if SWITCH is presented with a decision of a court or of a court of arbitration enforceable in Switzerland, or a decision by a Swiss criminal prosecution, administrative or regulatory authority enforceable in Switzerland, an expert decision of the dispute resolution service for ".ch" and ".li" domain names, or if a settlement concluded in or out of court by both parties is presented, according to which SWITCH is directly instructed to revoke the domain name, without SWITCH being a party to the corresponding proceedings, or which contains the required holder's consent to revocation or by which that consent is replaced. The third party must submit a certificate of the enforceability of the decision.

SWITCH can revoke the registration of domain names if:

1. the holder breaches the applicable law;

2. the holder breaches these GTC or the contractual relationship with SWITCH and does not eliminate the breach within a period set by SWITCH;

3. the fees are not paid in accordance with the contract;

4. the holder breaches the duty to maintain data;

5. there is an evident risk that SWITCH could make itself legally liable due to the registration and/or use of the domain name. In that case the revocation takes place in consultation with OFCOM or the Office of Communications respectively;

6. the holder has died or has been deleted from the register of commerce as a result of bankruptcy or liquidation;

7. other important reasons such as international recommendations, standards or harmonisation require it. In that case the revocation takes place in consultation with OFCOM or the Office of Communications respectively.

With revocation, the domain name is deleted from the Whois service, the database and the zonefile. With the deletion, the domain name becomes available for re-registration after a transition period as defined in para. 3.3.3.

If the revocation took place on the basis of para. 1 above, the domain name is made available for re-registration at the time designated in the decision or in the settlement between the parties or, if such a time is not specified, as quickly as possible.
