Encyclopedia Dramatica

Flare up your ideas, be careful not to burn them~
As EVERYONE knows, Encyclopedia Dramatica is just horrible in almost every way. It is full of Ads, has loads of disrespectful and inaccurate information, and just overall is useless. And I just ran across a horrid article about TCoD: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/The_Cave_of_Dragonflies

Seriously, Encyclopedia Dramatica is messed up. What are your thoughts?
 
Read the Discussion on that page. It was mostly made by people who go to this forum.

Anyway, ED can be amusing in small doses. Sometimes the articles can get a bit redundant (when they're nothing but furry jokes and the word "faggot" anyway), but sometimes you get a kind of funny one.

This.
I can't tolerate some of the stuff they have on there, but I do find some articles mildly amusing.
 
The only thing I find it useful for is checking to see if that phrase I hear over and over is a meme or not. I just find it incredibly dumb and most of the pages have the same basic structure.

X was a Y created last thursday/over 100/ over 9000 years ago and is largely used by nazis/faggots/furries/fanbois etc.

Uncyclopedia is almost as bad, but at least it doesn't have as many memes or foul language or whatever. I've found a few articles there funny. ED is just... everything I hate about the internet.
 
Minish: Not really a banned member, but she's going to become one sooner or later. She instantly worships anything created by Japan, which includes Hentai, Anny May and furries.

I will never, never stop finding this funny. x3

Yeah, ED is pretty much redundant in every way. It's not funny at all after about the second article.
 
It's a good way to pass the time on occasion. It often tries way too hard to be so totally badass, but it can be amusing. Just don't take anything written there seriously.

I admit it kind of annoys me when they do articles on individual people and go as far as putting up very personal information about them, but a majority of the time the person in question is partly to blame for putting that information all over the internet in the first place. :\

I always lol at that "Richard Nixon the Burly" thing.
 
Meh, I only went on there to find how extreme the views on Twita- Twifans are. It appealed to me.

But yeah, also what the correct definition of troll was. Oh and Sascha Cohen Baron. And what the Hell Code Geass is. And Bleach. And Naruto. And ...
 
The TCoD article was written by members as an in-joke, with most people having written the bits about themselves or their close friends, etc. etc. ED is not supposed to be for in-jokes and thus after they discovered people were having too much fun with that, they came and flooded my error report form with spam on the assumption I personally had something to do with it, so I'd appreciate if you'd stay away from editing it or drawing any attention to the fact it still exists (which kind of mystifies me, personally).
 
At some point I looked up TCoD's article and it was being considered for deletion. I wonder where that went?
 
I found that article once. I pondered starting a thread about it too, but I was pretty sure most of you guys already knew about it and mostly ignored it. The article suprised me in a bad way, but then again I don't really know what Encycopedia Dramatica is.
 
Yeah...? Sure, it's not funny all the time, but it's not hard for me to crack a smile every once in a while.
 
I can get a quick laugh out of ED.

Then again I can get a quick laugh out of fucking Conservapedia.

Conservapedia article on Barack Obama said:
Obama refers to America in the third person, as a foreigner would.

And I enjoy some parts about /b/. Some.

As EVERYONE knows, Encyclopedia Dramatica is a joke that's not meant to be taken seriously.
ED thrives on people like you who simply don't get it - ED's point is to offend. ED's point is to be disrespectful. ED is a joke, it's not meant to be accurate. It's in no way a parallel to Wikipedia (Uncyclopedia would be a better example).
I don't see how it's any more useless than any of the websites that you enjoy - this is entirely subjective. Space is not something the internet is running out of. The only reason why it has ads is because it can't pay for itself, obviously (and honestly, you can adblock them anyway). Grow tougher skin - there are going to be things that offend you throughout your entire life, and getting huffy about it isn't going to make a difference. After all, if you don't like it, you don't have to look at it.

imo a couple articles in there are okay, but mostly I find ED to be dull. Some of the deviantART articles are amusing but I really don't find wall-to-wall memes or porn very interesting. Occasionally I'll go in there if I have absolutely nothing else to do.
I remember seeing the TCoD article up for deletion a couple of months ago, someone must have saved it.
