Encyclopedia Dramatica (ED) is a wiki formed by LJDrama people who were writing Wikipedia articles about LiveJournal incidents, but found that such content was deleted. They started their own wiki to document online drama; hence the name.

ED is loved or hated. Those who "get" it treasure it like old issues of MAD Magazine. Those who don't get it, such as fans of funny-wiki Uncyclopedia, disparage it at length.

Articles on ED fall into several general types. (View with caution: NOT SAFE FOR WORK.)

(1) Internet people: ED documents many Internet users and their online activities. Targets include users of LiveJournal, MySpace, DeviantART, and Wikipedia, as well as sexual predators, and actual racists. (Mediacrat, Tay Zonday, Chris Forcand)

(2) Public train wrecks: Like a tabloid, ED documents and mocks offline people, groups and events that are deemed worthy of ridicule. (My Chemical Romance, Lindsay Lohan, Carlos Sousa Jr.)

(3) Internet terms: ED documents Internet sites, culture, lingo and memes, often in a fairly factual manner. Included are many 4chan memes. (So i herd u liek mudkip, Profit, YTMND)

(4) Hate articles: ED takes on and caricatures a racist, sexist, homophobic, sanctimonious, and frequently outright insane perspective. (JEWS DID WTC, Rape, Furry)

(5) Shock images: ED houses many noted shock images. (Goatse, Offended, 1guy1jar <-- Careful, you can't un-see them.)

A bullshit website created by a bunch of leftover Nazis. Is filled with bad jokes, nauseating images, and racism(Anti-semitism is rife). The creators of the site claim that the opinions expressed are not their actual opinions but are jokes. I call bullshit on that. Anyone with half a brain can see that they're serious.
Encyclopedia Dramatica is inhabited by the ghost of Adolf Hitler.

A large wiki written by butthurt 12 year olds, who spend their lives behind their computers snorting and giggling about how they linked the word "Furries" to the page "Gay", or how they posted a picture of genitals with the caption "(Victim name)'s face".

Around 90% of the articles on this website are unfunny garbage, often about DeviantART users that happened to say something that one of them didn't like. This causes them to write enormous pages about the person, telling everyone how "Immature" and "butthurt" they are, when in truth, they most likely told the author that their art needs work. Many users of the website also claim to be members of the hacker group "anonymous", but are most likely too crude and uneducated to learn to hack.
Encyclotard: Oh wow! Did you see my new article on Encyclopedia Dramatica? I said this guy's face was a butt with shit coming out of it! *giggle snort* I'm so funny! Anonymous are sure to accept me now!

Other Encyclotard: Ha! Well I linked this guy's name to the page for "retard"! I'm hilarious!

Encyclopedia Dramatica- A terrible Wikipedia parody that just fails in its existence, just like its creators, who were banned from both Wikipedia and 4chan after vandalizing both.

ED the site makes fun of everything in a rude inept unfunny and just offensive crappy way. Because of this will probably be hacked by an angry Interneter ( Person who uses the web) in the near future then crashed.
Encyclopedia Dramatica has no friends

A comedy wiki that is quick to ban you. Accidentally erase a couple articles and they'll ban you, make a couple of unfunny posts and you're banned. Irritate the admins about your unfair ban...you guessed it! You're banned. Basically a community run by people with a loose trigger finger on the ban hammer. Then they vandalize pics of you with penises. (Trust me, experience).
Ban-happy Encyclopedia Dramatica
