Changes: Encyclopedia Dramatica

Revision as of 22:38, 9 November 2010

Encyclopedia Dramatica is a wiki founded on December 9, 2004. Like Uncyclopedia, it is a satire of Wikipedia, and contains a large amount of potentially offensive content. The wiki contains over 8,000 "high quality" pages, and has over 100,000 registered users. Their motto is "In lulz we trust" and is written on the main page, below the title.

Background

ED is notorious for offensive, or otherwise troll-ish articles. However, they have successfully documented many popular internet memes. ED and Uncyclopedia, or other sites have been at ends with each other before, usually resulting in edit wars and attacks on community members. Nonetheless, it's one of the "pockets" of the internet, where content combines with context.

Relationship with Newgrounds

Encyclopedia Dramatica has several extensive articles about Newgrounds. As some users have noticed, the articles for NG are exceptionally elaborate, in contrast to other articles.[1] The main article states that "Jewgrounds" has gone downhill since the "lulz era," and especially since the site redesign in 2007. The articles also poke fun at NG culture, such as people's voting habits, the popularity of video game parodies, the abundance of sexual material and a "guide" to the personalities you'll meet in the BBS.

On the other end, the Newgrounds forums have been peppered with discussion of ED, often (predictably) getting locked or descend into repetition.[2]
