Dramatica Gone

Zitat :

Last night, visitors to Dramatica’s home page found themselves automatically redirected to a new site called OhInternet which appeared to have more in common with the new, slicker generation of Internet culture trackers than with the unvarnished, offensive Dramatica of old. Some fans of Dramatica wondered if this was an elaborate troll or an April Fool’s joke; visiting Dramatica’s old IP address, 208.99.87.133, gave a message that was interpreted by some to mean that Dramatica was only temporarily offline. But the redirect is permanent, Encyclopedia Dramatica founder and current OhInternet primary contributor Sherrod DeGrippo told me by email, and OhInternet is here to stay.

Encyclopedia Dramatica is no more.

Well, that's depressing.

eBaum's World is sold to HandHeld Entertainment; Know Your Meme and Canvas are born; 4chan boards are removed and censored; and now ED has been discarded. Hello Web 2.0!

Disclaimer: I neither condemn nor condone the late ED, but acknowledge that it contained a wealth of information about internet culture that was provided by users.

YTMND is still kicking.

Sucks. There isn't even an archive or anything?

FUCK EVERYONE

I wanted to look at the copypasta archive a while ago, and when it redirected me, I assumed it was an april fools joke gone late. Tried again a week later, still at OhInternet, checked wikipedia, and softly cried.

More news: There was a backup of all text and image thumbnails, the new site is encyclopediadramatica.ch

They need help rebuilding, but at least all the articles and some pictures were saved.

PRAISE THE INTERNET!
