Have you guys seen this? [url]http://ohinternet.com/Main_Page[/url] [URL=http://filesmelt.com/][IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/what25.png[/IMG][/URL] Swearing is gone. Every single page has been made Safe for Work. Racist articles have been deleted. I thought at first that they were trolling, but then I found this.... [quote] Former ED sysop here. I'm going to explain everything. Just hear me out. Sometime in early March, our higher-up sysops decided that needed to make sacrifices. Donations were at an all time low, and advertisers were succumbing to pressure to pull advertisements from ED due to 'offensive' content. We did everything we could; pop-up ads, click fraud, anything we could to keep our site alive. Eventually, we had to do the unthinkable and got rid of the 'racist' articles, including the Jew and Aboriginal article. But it wasn't enough. None of the advertisers would come back. But what happened today, was something that myself and various other lulz-loyal sysops begged and pleaded with Joseph Evers, the owner of the Encyclopedia Dramatica domain, not to do. Some of us even offered to take up another IRL job, and pay for the domain ourselves, in any minuscule amount we could afford. He wouldn't listen. He saw dollar signs in his eyes, because the group he sold it to in particular had an article on ED about them (needless to say, it was unflattering). They offered him a lot. And you know what? He did it. He sold it, despite protests from NUMEROUS Sysops. Joseph Evers sold the ED domain. We haven't heard from Girlvinyl or Weev since this disgusting injustice occurred. But don't blame the sysops. Blame Joseph Evers. And Anon... you may destroy him with our blessing.

It better not be a joke. I just spat out iced tea all over my monitor after reading that.
Oh god no, I'm gonna miss it ):
Fun while it lasted.
lol good
ED sucked anyways. It won't be missed.
I'll miss going to it in school. :(
now how will i find out the truth about the jewish conspiracy and john stewarts scat fetish EDIT: Oh thank god, it's back. Now, Tim Buckley, what exactly was the age of the girl you showed your penis to? And was she the same age as the girl Glenn Beck raped and killed in 1980?
Anyone remember the page entitled Kittens?
ED was fucking stupid anyway.

good ed was a 4chan faggot shitfest anyway
Freedom of speech, where is your god now?
[QUOTE=myalt22;29199490]It was an oasis of free speech. It will be missed.[/QUOTE] it was a bunch of idiots laughing at memes and patting each othero n the back for being so edgy and witty, youre kidding yourself if you think it wasanything else
Can't say I care that it's gone. Mainly because all the articles felt like they were written by some 12 year old trying really hard to be funny.
[QUOTE=Tools;29199493]Freedom of speech, where is your god now?[/QUOTE] uh
[QUOTE=Mr.Ken;29199575]Can't say I care that its gone. Mainly because all the articles felt like they were written by some 12 year old trying really hard to be funny.[/QUOTE] That was the point of the whole thing; retarded fun.
[QUOTE=Tools;29199493]Freedom of speech, where is your god now?[/QUOTE] They ran out of money, good input, try harder next time.
and nothing of value was lost
[QUOTE=NilsFG;29199603]That was the point of the whole thing; retarded fun.[/QUOTE] There's a difference between something being funny in a stupid way and just insanely stupid. Every article was essentially the same thing - MAYBE IF I PHOTOSHOP SOME PENISES ON THIS PERSON IT'LL MAKE ME LOOK EDGY!
Stupid as it was, I still found it to be a little entertaining.
the only good thing about it was sending the "offended" page to people. other then that, it was stupid.
I wish I'd saved the Offended page before it was deleted.
ED was shit, but it was funny in the same way a drunk crackhead is :saddowns:
And nothing of value was lost.
Part of me is sorry to see it go - but most of me won't really miss it. The articles were all very, very unfunny, while trying really, really hard to BE funny.
[QUOTE=NilsFG;29199603]That was the point of the whole thing; retarded fun.[/QUOTE] One problem though. It was retarded.
Aww man, it was where I went when really bored. Good for a few laughs.
I'm willing to bet someone else will rehost it.
[QUOTE=HairyDan;29199753]ED was shit, but it was funny in the same way a drunk crackhead is :saddowns:[/QUOTE] i think youre mistaking the word "funny" for "not funny" dont worry its an easy mistake to make
