IamA - Owner of Encyclopedia Dramatica se

I paid like $60 or $80 or some such shit to get an ED t-shirt posted to Ireland, I expected a blow job or something to come with it but here I am wearing it now and no one is sucking my dick. How can you justify this behaviour?

My girlfriend was ordering chinese food from Eat Street (that I guess is like GrubHub or something like that) and the driver told her that the company keeps the tip that was put on online. She asked Eat Street on Twitter and they said they do not do that and the chinese food place must be stealing from their driver. I assume this is what happened to your blowjob. I will have to consult with teespring or UPS.

1. How did you get this idea?
2. Do you need money like Wikipedia does?
3. Who put all this time & work in it?
4. Is it profitable?
5. Ever had any legal issues? (e.g regarding your offended page...) Public Contact Information: If Applicable

1. Wasn't my idea, I just like the site and wanted to see it continue.
2. We need money to keep the site going yes. Between ads and donation it is usually enough, when it isn't one of us pays the difference.
3. A lot of people. ED has been around for like 12 years in one form or another. Articles are written by the users. Just like Wikipedia anyone can sign up and write and edit or write an article. To date there are approx 13,450 articles
4. No
5. Other than weev's sockpuppet being tried in Australia in absentia before .com went offline, not really. We comply with DMCA and legal takedown requests.

Public contact information is contact at encyclopediadramatica dot se, Twitter https://twitter.com/EDdotSE or on irc at irc.wtfux.org/ed

Other than weev's sockpuppet being tried in Australia in absentia before .com went offline, not really. We comply with DMCA and legal takedown requests.

This sounds interesting and entertaining, can you tell us more about that/direct me to some place where I can learn more?

It was over the article on Australian aboriginals. I will try to find the blog post and news articles and post them.

1. when was your last interaction with girlvinyl? were you around for the girlvinyl/OHI split, and what was your role?
   
2. were you doxed or harassed by D.B./the Evers blog?
   
3. did the Co$ really kill ODB's cat?
   
4. how do you feel about weev?
   
5. welcome to bantown.

1. I emailed her asking for the files while we were rebuilding the site, she declined.
2. As far as I know my face is still on the front page of it lol.
3. It was one of the feral cats in his neighborhood that he fed, and that is what he believed.
4. Weev is my friend, as far as internet people can be friends I guess. He is a quality chatter.
5. lol thanks but I am not a bantown chatter.

Was there ever any internal dissent / critical discussion about the 'Offended' page? What kind of responses to it have you received, and how do you deal with those?

In the days before .com went offline, the moderating staff was in full damage control mode. They replaced the offended page with flowers and used bots to replace all racial slurs with neutral language that did not fit in the context 99% of the time. This was undone when the site was rebuilt.

The Offended page specifically hasn't had any issues since we took over. There are a lot of youTube reaction videos to it which I thought was pretty cool.

Legit reason(s) for the .com demise?

Girlvinyl/Sherrod didn't want to do it anymore. She just didn't enjoy it anymore I assume, you would have to ask her. We offered to buy the domain and the files from her but she declined, which is her decision. I hold no ill will against her. There were other sites who were trying to rebuild ED at the time, we were just the only one that survived.

What do you hate most in today's day and age?

College students and the hyper-offended.

What is your favorite article on ED?

That is hard lol there are a lot. Mediacrat is a classic, the first ED article. Chris-chan is always funny.

There are some new ones that are good too like Trigglypuff, Mansplaining, Trigger warning etc.

I'm pretty sure linking ED on reddit will get you banned really fast, since the info there is considered doxing. Just saying.

ED is soft banned on reddit at the discretion of the subreddit moderators, who know this is going on.

What are some types of expenses (expected or unexpected) when running a website like yours?

Servers, ddos protection, labor, advertising. We lost a hard drive a couple months ago which cost us 2 weeks worth of site revisions, new articles, images, forum posts etc and kept us down for almost a week while we repaired it.

I don't believe it's you. Can you please post a dong pic for verification?

Why did Twitter ban your previous twitter account?

Someone used the account to post the whois information of Sarah Butts' website, which is against TOS so not really upset with Twitter over it more than the person who posted the tweet.

Do you gusy really hate jews, or is it just trolling for the lulz?

Everything is written with maximum lulz and schadenfreude in mind.

Will there be a article about #DePaul? :D

I hope so. I stopped watching when they all left for the president's office.

What's your favorite article on the site?

I don't think I have a single favorite, at least not one for too long at a time. The awesome thing about ED is that even after almost 10 years on the site I still find cool old pages I haven't seen before.

Oh my god! I seriously get to talk to one of the Mother Brians of ED?! I made a sweet line of T-shirts commemorating ED, long white T's. Homey, you gonna love these muhfukin shirts. They sheeit on the ones you made. Is there a way I can verify them with you, so I can sell them on the legit tip?

Sure send a DM on twitter or email contact at encyclopediadramatica.se

I won't deny that. There is a line between documenting internet drama which a person has caused and documenting the person who caused the drama that many writers do not understand. However, there are people who create so much internet drama that creating an article on them instead of individual circumstances of drama is the sensical thing to do categorically.
