On April 14, 2011, the original URL of the site was redirected to a new website named "Oh Internet" that bore little resemblance to Encyclopedia Dramatica. Parts of the ED community harshly criticized the changes. On the night of the Encyclopedia Dramatica shutdown, regular ED visitors bombarded the 'Oh Internet' Facebook wall with hate messages. The Web Ecology Project published a downloadable archive of Encyclopedia Dramatica's content the next day. Besides this archive, fan-made torrents and several mirrors of the original site were subsequently generated. Based on these archives, the site has repeatedly gone offline and come back under new domain names. Between 2013 and 2024, the website was hosted under various top level domains: .rs, .ch, .es, .se, .wiki, .online, .top, .win and .gay. , the only active mirror of ED is edramatica.com.

History

DeGrippo Era (.com)

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ed/Encyclopedia_dramatica_logo_(2005–2010).svg" caption="Encyclopedia Dramatica's historical logo (2005–2010)"] ::

Encyclopedia Dramatica was founded in 2004 by Sherrod DeGrippo, also known by the online pseudonym "Girlvinyl". DeGrippo joined LiveJournal in 2000 and became enthralled by the behavior of some of its members:

::quote People were accessible and it was bidirectional. Voyeurs and exhibitionists were able to interact in a way that was normalized. That's why I started ED. It was mostly just personalities that were just so nuts and fascinating. ::

She became involved in the LJdrama community (which covered stories on LiveJournal gossip). When the community was banned from LiveJournal, they created their own website. In 2002, two LiveJournal users, Joshua Williams (also known online by the pseudonym mediacrat) and Andrewpants, became intimately involved with each other. After they broke off their relationship, LJdrama decided to document the resulting drama. Unflattering photographs of Williams were spread on the web, and Williams considered this to be harassment. He threatened legal action, traveled to Portland, Oregon, in order to speak to LiveJournal's abuse team, and reported the alleged harassment to a local TV news station. DeGrippo created Encyclopedia Dramatica in order to "house some information from livejournal and some drama about hackers Theo de Raadt and Darren Reed."

Encyclopedia Dramatica characterized itself as being "In the spirit of Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary." The New York Times Magazine recognized the wiki as "an online compendium of troll humor and troll lore" that it labeled a "troll archive". C't, a European magazine for IT professionals, noted the site's role in introducing newcomers to the culture of /b/, a notorious Internet imageboard at 4chan. Encyclopedia Dramatica defines trolling in terms of doing things "for the lulz" (for laughs), a phrase that it qualifies as "a catchall explanation for any trolling you do."{{citation |last = Tsotsis |first = Alexia |title = My Date With Anonymous: A Rare Interview With the Elusive Internet Troublemakers |url = https://www.laweekly.com/2009-02-05/columns/my-date-with-anonymous-a-rare-interview-with-the-illusive-internet-troublemakers/ |periodical = LA Weekly |access-date = August 11, 2009 |date = February 4, 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090612031524/http://www.laweekly.com/2009-02-05/columns/my-date-with-anonymous-a-rare-interview-with-the-illusive-internet-troublemakers/ |archive-date = June 12, 2009 |url-status = live |df = mdy-all

According to Sherrod DeGrippo,

::quote As long as something wasn't submitted as illegal or an abuse complaint, I didn't even see it. Wikis are something that you either closely, closely monitor and manage, or you just let it go. ::

Predating sites like the former Cheezburger Network (now known as Know Your Meme) by several years, Encyclopedia Dramatica was the first encyclopedia dedicated to the memes and "mean-spirited trolling" of 4chan culture.

2010 ownership by Evers

In March 2010, a "Joseph Evers" was recognized as the owner by ABC News, reporting on the site being blacklisted by the Australian Communications and Media Authority.

The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) contacted Evers threatening him with charges under Australian law. .

On December 8, 2010, Encyclopedia Dramatica deleted its article on Operation Payback. On the same day, Facebook deleted its Operation Payback page, and Twitter suspended Operation Payback's account. An anonymous source told Gawker that the Encyclopedia Dramatica article was deleted as the result of court orders.

In June 2020 it was reported by Canary Mission that Andrew "weev" Auernheimer is both the "" who "Zoombombed" a March 2020 chat for Jewish teens, and the "Joseph Evers" who owned and co-created the 2010 instance of ED and who has been wanted by the Australian Human Rights Commission since.

2011 establishment of Oh Internet

ohinternet ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Oh_Internet_homepage_screenshot.png" caption="Oh Internet main page"] ::

DeGrippo reportedly "came to hate" Encyclopedia Dramatica. She had hoped that ED would return to its roots and focus on LiveJournal drama. Furthermore, according to her, Encyclopedia Dramatica never turned a profit during the time she owned it, due to its content putting off advertisers.

On April 14, 2011, the URL encyclopediadramatica.com was redirected to "Oh Internet", an entirely different safe-for-work website that DeGrippo had created. The name "Oh Internet" is meant to convey "Oh, Internet, you are so crazy!" DeGrippo stated that "Shock for shock's sake is old at this point [...] ." Some regular users of Encyclopedia Dramatica were displeased by the change and attacked the website's official Facebook fan page with "hate messages and pornography".

In a question and answer session at the ROFLCon summit in October 2011, DeGrippo was asked why Encyclopedia Dramatica was closed and replaced with Oh Internet. She replied: "We were unable to stop the degradation of the content. It just kept getting longer and longer and dumber and dumber and less and less coherent over time." She also explained why she had not released the site as an archive, saying that she "didn't want to", and suggesting that this would have made her personally responsible for any DMCA and privacy violations that it contained. She also stated that hosting Encyclopedia Dramatica caused her to have troubles involving the FBI.

Cleary (.ch)

From April 2011, Ryan Cleary hosted a fork of Encyclopedia Dramatica at encyclopediadramatica.ch. Members of this project gathered text and images from Google's web cache and other backups, and a script was created to upload cached information. On June 21, 2011, Scotland Yard arrested Ryan Cleary based on alleged connections to online attacks on Sony. The arrest temporarily disrupted operation of the wiki, but other members were able to resume Cleary's duties.

Moore (.se)

Garrett E. Moore later became the fork's owner. Moore reported difficulties in securing a host for the website.

On March 19, 2012, encyclopediadramatica.ch was shut down for a short time due to a "DNS block". On March 21, 2012, the site moved to a Swedish domain name, at encyclopediadramatica.se, instead of a domain in Switzerland as before. The site's Facebook account later addressed the block, stating that it was because "we didn't keep up our end of the nic.ch user agreement contract stating that we had to keep a mailing address and phone number in Switzerland."

Moore told an interviewer for The Daily Dot in July 2011: ::quote People take themselves too seriously, they can't laugh at anything. We make fun of everything. I make fun of skinny white computer nerds, but I am one. ::

When asked about "abusive content", Moore stated that he removes it when he sees it, then further explained: ::quote I'm not going to leave a 14-year-old girl's address up on a page cause some dipshit got mad at her and made an article. But if you dress up like a fox and wear diapers and then take pictures of it? That's fair game, sir. ::

In a September 2011 interview with The Daily Dot, Moore defended his community's belief in free speech.

Gizmo games

In January 2013, a video game created by user "gizmo01942" came to the attention of the media. The game, Bullet to the Head of the NRA, was controversial because the player could take aim and shoot at members of the National Rifle Association of America. In February 2015, Muhammad Sex Simulator 2015, another video game by the same user, attracted further controversy because of the recent Charlie Hebdo shooting.

Aztec High School shooting

Main article: 2017 Aztec High School shooting

On December 7, 2017, 21-year-old William Atchison opened fire at a high school in Aztec, New Mexico, killing two before committing suicide. Atchison had been a site admin on Encyclopedia Dramatica (posting under the name AlGore) and had an obsession with mass shootings.

Reception

The website received mainstream media attention after Jason Fortuny used Encyclopedia Dramatica to post photographs, e-mails and phone numbers from 176 responses to a Craigslist advertisement he posted in 2006, in which he posed as a woman seeking sexual encounters with dominant men.{{citation |first = Neva |last = Chonin |title = Sex and the City |url = https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Sex-and-the-City-2551618.php |periodical = San Francisco Chronicle |page = 20 |access-date = August 11, 2009 |date = September 17, 2006 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120918192604/http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Sex-and-the-City-2551618.php |archive-date = September 18, 2012 |url-status = live |df = mdy-all

Julian Dibbell, in Wired, described Encyclopedia Dramatica as the site "where the vast parallel universe of Anonymous in-jokes, catchphrases, and obsessions is lovingly annotated, and you will discover an elaborate trolling culture: flamingly racist, homophobic and misogynistic content lurks throughout, all of it calculated to offend." The site is also known for its pervasive clickbait advertisements, in addition to its having almost none of the rules expected on other similar communities. Ninemsn described Encyclopedia Dramatica as:Wikipedia's evil twin. It's a site where almost every article is biased, offensive, unsourced, and without the faintest trace of political correctness. A search through its archives will reveal animated images of people committing suicide, articles glorifying extreme racism and sexism, and a seemingly endless supply of twisted, shocking views on just about every major human tragedy in history.

In 2006, "a well-known band of trolls" emailed Encyclopedia Dramatica's creator, DeGrippo, demanding edits to the protected (i.e. locked) article describing them. After she refused to do so, the trolls ordered taxis, pizzas and escort services, and sent death threats and threats of rape to DeGrippo's apartment.

Encyclopedia Dramatica became a "favourite target for critics, who accuse Anonymous of propagating hate," for allowing alleged members of the group to sometimes use the website as a platform. Through this association, Encyclopedia Dramatica received incidental coverage when actions by members of Anonymous led to the arrest of an alleged pedophile, when they demonstrated against Scientology in London;{{citation | last = Whipple | first = Tom | title = Scientology: the Anonymous protestors | url = https://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/the_way_we_live/article4173635.ece | periodical = The Times | access-date= May 14, 2011 | date = June 20, 2008 | location=London |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110615182345/http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/the_way_we_live/article4173635.ece |archive-date=June 15, 2011 }}.{{citation |last = Lee |first = Joe |date = February 11, 2008 |title = Anonymous Protests Outside Scientology Sites |url = https://londonist.com/2008/02/they_came_they.php |periodical = Londonist |access-date = August 25, 2008 |publisher = londonist.com |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080401054452/http://londonist.com/2008/02/they_came_they.php |archive-date = April 1, 2008 |url-status = live |df = mdy-all |last = Singel |first = Ryan |date = September 19, 2008 |title = Palin Hacker Group's All-Time Greatest Hits |url = https://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/09/palin-hacker-gr/ |magazine = Wired |access-date = August 25, 2008 |publisher = blog.wired.com |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090502034437/http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/09/palin-hacker-gr |archive-date = May 2, 2009 |url-status = live |df = mdy-all | last = Cabron | first = Lou | date = March 8, 2007 | title = John Edwards' Virtual Attackers Unmasked | url = https://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/48989/ | periodical = AlterNet | access-date = May 14, 2011 | publisher = alternet.org | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110629141202/http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/48989/ | archive-date = June 29, 2011}}. The convergence of Encyclopedia Dramatica with the anti-Scientology campaign of Project Chanology was noted by technology journalist Julian Dibbell.{{citation |first = Julian |last = Dibbell |date = July 11, 2008 |chapter = Sympathy for the Griefer: MOOrape, Lulz Cubes, and Other Lessons From the First 2 Decades of Online Sociopathy |title = GLS Conference 4.0 |publisher = Games, Learning and Society Group |location = Madison, Wisconsin |chapter-url = https://hosted4.mediasite.com/mediasite/Viewer/?peid=9d1cf257-52ff-4704-9cb5-37de2ecca35b |access-date = November 7, 2008 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110714064724/http://hosted4.mediasite.com/mediasite/Viewer/?peid=9d1cf257-52ff-4704-9cb5-37de2ecca35b |archive-date = July 14, 2011 |df = mdy-all

The celebration and archival of the "raids" organized on /b/ on Encyclopedia Dramatica, which acted as a "troll hall of fame" when used this way, has been seen by some scholars, among them Liam Mitchell of Trent University, as acting as a way to assuage the guilt that trolls feel for harming their victims and being confronted with evidence of this harm. By celebrating on Encyclopedia Dramatica, and archiving that which would make an individual member guilty, trolls collectively engage in a type of mob mentality where the idea that "none of us is as cruel as all of us" minimizes the actions they take individually:

On December 16, 2008, Encyclopedia Dramatica won the People's Choice Winners category for favorite wiki in Mashable's 2nd Annual Open Web Awards, with wikiHow as the runner-up and Wikipedia coming in third.

In December 2008, a message on Encyclopedia Dramatica asked for donations and claimed that the website was under attack and had lost its advertisers.

In January 2010, the Encyclopedia Dramatica article Aboriginal was removed from the search engine results of Google Australia, after a lawyer filed a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission saying its content was racist.{{cite news |title = Google agrees to take down racist site |publisher = Sydney Morning Herald |url = https://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/google-agrees-to-take-down-racist-site-20100115-maxd.html |access-date = May 14, 2011 |date = January 15, 2010 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110605030457/http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/google-agrees-to-take-down-racist-site-20100115-maxd.html |archive-date = June 5, 2011 |url-status = live |df = mdy-all |title = Aus Media Gets Encyclopedia Dramatica Story Wrong, Only Some Search Links Removed |publisher = The Inquisitr |first = Duncan |last = Riley |url = https://www.inquisitr.com/57105/aus-media-gets-ed-story-wrong/ |date = January 14, 2010 |access-date = January 15, 2010 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100119021719/http://www.inquisitr.com/57105/aus-media-gets-ed-story-wrong/ |archive-date = January 19, 2010 |url-status = live |df = mdy-all |title = Australian Anti Discrimination Act Complaint |publisher = Chilling Effects |url = https://www.chillingeffects.org/notice.cgi?sID=17460 |access-date = January 15, 2010 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100118084049/http://www.chillingeffects.org/notice.cgi?sID=17460 |archive-date = January 18, 2010 |url-status = live |df = mdy-all

In 2020, a Canadian court heard that Alek Minassian, perpetrator of the Toronto van attack, was motivated in part by writings on Encyclopedia Dramatica relating to mass murderers, ranking them by "kill counts" and kill-to-injury ratios.

Lawsuits

In 2016, a United Kingdom court determined an ED user must pay £10,000 in libel damages for making false statements about a former Labour councillor.

In 2017, a suit was launched against the website seeking US$750,000 for alleged copyright infringement. The "life-threatening" suit was by millionaire Jonathan Monsarrat. Monsarrat's suit was dismissed in December 2017, with the judge ruling that the three-year statute of limitations for copyright infringement had expired before the lawsuit was filed.
