⚠️ Encyclopedia Dramatica is currently being restored by automated scripts ⚠️
There's been a lot of questions as to what's going on with the site and what comes next. So we have this (ordered) roadmap of what's being worked on and what's to come. This will be updated until the roadmap is complete as Æ has a lot of missing features and ideas that I'd like to fix in regards to its offerings before I implement big plans for the site's popularity and well-being in 2021.
Æ Roadmap
Content restoration (Mostly done, few things missing that will be restored sporadically)
Image restoration (Being run in background, nothing I can do cept wait)
Æ Imageboard (Currently being worked on)
Mediawiki upgrade and backend fixes
.onion domain for Tor-friendly editing and viewing
CSS overhaul (Fixing things like the videos on mobile, and overall a rehaul of the wiki's look to be more friendly to readers)
Paid bounty board for new articles (Won't be managed by me for legal reasons however I will ensure it runs smoothly)
Anonymous phone # service for those seeking ban evades from Twitter as well as a phone number not tied to their name (more details at launch)
Currently we are nearing our annual LLC renewal fee ($650) as well throwing the funds required for these other changes and aspects. If you would like to support Æ consider purchasing a copy of The Hustler's Bible or securing some Merch. Donating is also appreciated however I would rather give something back as per the two options above.
If you have any questions you can join our public Telegram chat to DM me privately or @ me in chat.
You can also email me via [email protected]
Merch notes: Thank you to all who have purchased merch. We will ship late January or mid February depending on our provider's speed.
Here's to setting the world on fire in 2021!

Cheer Up Keanu Day
Perhaps the most immortal and giving celebrity in history....

WTF's happened to Keanu?
Anon copypasta:
File:Post check.png Anonymous 06/06/10(Sun)20:02 No.9872048
- The joke was that Keanu is immortal and takes on new identities, often having been many famous historical figures. Sometimes it's said he is simply a "Man from Earth"-style immortal, sometimes he is a vampire or sucks the life-force out of those around him. In relation to this, his tragic life history was occasionally brought up. Recently (in the past week) the photos of Keanu eating on a bench alone and looking depressed and it caused Anon to feel sympathy for him. When some pointed out his tragic history - his father was a manual laborer who left when he was three, his mother dated around leaving Keanu to be mostly raised by relatives, although he was a promising hockey player an injury kept him from playing competitively, he moved around a lot (attending 4 high schools in 5 years) and didn't make many friends, he had to quit acting school because he was broke, his best friend River Phoenix overdosed and died, Keanu has expressed many times his genuine desire to have a family but when his GF Jennifer Symes became pregnant the baby was born dead, she then suffered extreme post-partum depression that broke up their romantic relationship although they remained close friends, later she committed suicide by car, a paparazzo claiming Symes had hit him unsuccessfully sued Keanu for 1.5 years (Keanu won), Keanu's sister got cancer and he's spent millions keeping her alive, and finally the whole world shits on him for being stupid and a bad actor - Anon began to feel they could relate to him and came up with Cheer Up Keanu Day on June 15th. All the recent threads have either been promoting Cheer Up Keanu Day, spreading the sad story, making sad Keanu verticals, or other stuff like the mixtape...

Thus, the truly sad tale of Keanu's life frought with loss and hardship began making the rounds on /b/, /tv/, /a/, and just about everywhere else on the norp side of the interbutts (including Facebook). It didn't take long for a movement to be created to cheer up the melancholy celeb...
"Cheer Up Keanu Day"
After the lonely looking star of The Matrix began making the rounds on the internets, June 15th, 2010, was marked as Cheer Up Keanu Day and the fantards created a Facebook group, with the goal of organizing mass-mailings of letters and gifts to the saddened celeb. This is touching, although how anyone actually plans to accomplish anything tangible with this is a fucking mystery, since Keanu will most likely be indifferent to such trite, worldly efforts to change his eternal somber mood. He's probably dealt with enough fan bullshit already at this point, dontchathink? Meh.

Despite what you'd normally expect about such a fanboi-spawned event attracting trolls like flies to shit, so far it seems to be proving remarkably faggotry-free (most likely due to the fact that newfags are too young to have seen any of his movies) , with even the basement dwellers on *chan taking particular interest in the event, and in Keanu.
Why Now?
Keanu is, after all, a Buddhist. And although no one is arguing that Keanu hasn't had real success in his life, after a long career of occasional artistic hit-and-misses, and an obviously troubled personal life, he seems to be questioning the realities of exactly what "success" is. He's probably gotten tired of listening to every Jew studio exec demand he sell-out and make another shitty summer blockbuster, or other douchebag celebrities he knows whining about how much it costs to insure their Ferrari while he's spending millions to save his sister dying from fucking cancer in the hospital. So, unlike vacuous new age yuppie hipster faggots who claim they're oh-so-enlightened and sticking it to The Man because they recycle and don't watch TV, Keanu's indifference and apathy is due to actually having had real loss in his life, and has learned from it the hard way. So since we've all been a Keanu at one time, every luser and failbook-fag on the internet seems to have turned Keanu into a symbol of modern-man-conflicted. Thus, many people see Keanu symbolizing ascetic distaste toward modern pursuits of fame, material wealth and creature comforts that Murka blows its load over.
However, the paranoid assholes who manage Keanu's career (and obviously exploit him) are not having it. Sad!
Sad Keanu Is Sad
Expectedly, that candid snap of Keanu looking ronery on a park bench was suddenly everywhere and was screaming for OC. The internets were happy to oblige...
