Happy 11th anniversary, screamer wiki!
Encyclopædia Dramatica
Encyclopedia Dramatica, often abbreviated ED or æ, is a website consisting of a satirical MediaWiki based wiki and a XenForo based discussion forum, it was created by the website's owner Sherrod DeGrippo on December 10, 2004. it's a parody of Wikipedia, containing much more harassment, offensive/vulgar content; however, much of offensive content is done solely for "the lulz."[1]
The wiki contains five infamous shock pages including Offended, Kittens, and Puppies, Reporting Un-Islamic Content and many of the articles contain shock images such as Goatse, Blue Waffle, and Lemon Party among many others. as well as numerous other gruesome images, one can find disturbing. It's infamous for every page being something vulgar/disturbing.
Encyclopedia Dramatica has moved domains many times during its life. It was originally established in December 2004 at encyclopediadramatica.com, but said site was later moved to a safe-for-work website called OhInternet, which also later closed.
After that, the site moved domain extensions plenty of times from .rs to .se to .ch, and many others, usually because of the owners being arrested or banned.
Currently there are two sites for Encyclopedia Dramatica. .Wiki, which was created by Jacob Stellmach[2], was the main domain for a while, however, after Jacob (dubbed Ædiot) attempted to sell the site off to dark netters, the rest of the ED staff forked the wiki and moved the domain to where it currently officially is, at encyclopediadramatica.online.[3] The .wiki domain, however, is still the more popular domain as Google puts that site first and Wikipedia does not list .online.
Currently (January 2021), Encyclopedia Dramatica contains 14,502 articles.
