⚠️ 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!

CloudFlare
CloudFlare is a content delivery network that is responsible for 90% of ED's and EDF's downtime, the other 10% being Mike Sandy.

Technologies
It uses amazing new technology to spread the load between servers, its futuristic intrusion detection systems are only comparable to those of Norton's users'. The paid version includes such amazing features as sanitizing user input and a feature called "EASIEST SSL EVAR". The pro features also include the advanced threat challenge page and traffic statistics updated every 15 minutes as opposed to 24 hours.
DDoS and h4x
Many a internet h4x0rs have threatened to DDoS ED with ping -f, but they fail to understand that their efforts are actually preferable to CloudFlare's regular behavior.

Yet another brave warrior to achieve great success in the field of hacking is Kevin Provance, who worked hard enough to actually get some attention with his mischevious shenanigans.
Brandt and CloudFlare
Other notable example of CloudFlare thwarting e-detective aspierations are Daniel Brandt's sad attempts at forensics, which apparently revealed that ED is based in Ukraine and Sweden, which led him to a failed attempt at doxing the sysops. with random ips from the cloud being identified as current ED's hosting providers and lulzy non-dox provided with great expertese. This in turn led him to dispute the TOS with CloudFlare in relation to LulzSec's activities, with his demands and accusations reasonably refuted:
—CloudFlare's spokesperson, telling him to chill out. |
Being a reasonable person he let the case go and moved on with his life, but not before sending yet another inquiry, this time asking whether they have ever enforced their own TOS, to which they responded:
—The sections he was citing as grounds to baleeting LulzSec. |
