*'''Brian Zaiger (A.K.A Mantequilla): 2011-2017''' - Took over for Ryan after he left. Would spend years running the site, even though he didn't know how to code and was a known junkie. He was also known to take bribes for both unbanning and admin positions. It was later found out that he had been taking donations from people for years to "fund the site", but instead was spending the money on cocaine and heroin, even though, around the tail-end of his failure of a career, he was in massive debt from a lawsuit with a famous copyright troll. He even tried to make a new ED (encyclopediadramatica.online), and tried to brand it as the real ED, but no one believed him. | *'''Brian Zaiger (A.K.A Mantequilla): 2011-2017''' - Took over for Ryan after he left.

After he got hit by a car, he later came back for a while, but then disappeared again after he went to jail. The site would eventually crash along with the forum. | *'''Conrad Rockenhaus: 2019-2020''' - Took over for Seebeen who was formerly known to be insane, and was generally hated by the rest of ED.
