⚠️ 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!

Comment whore
A variety of attention whore who uses a message board, forum, or journaling site for the express purpose of gathering the warm fuzzies generated by the insincere well-wishes of complete strangers who probably just TL;DR'd the post in the first place and are merely posting something ghey like ~HUGZ!~ or <3 because as their glazed eyes skimmed down to the next batch of quiz results or Evanescence lyrics, they just happened to catch the words "cutting myself" or "fat" or "welfare check".
There are a number of classic comment whore tactics, including:
- "FIRST" or "FRIST" or "FIST PROST" or "FIRST COMMENT LOLOLOLOL"
- "I am a total fat slob" (cries, cuts)
- "I have an incurable disease that's more elite than yours" (cries, cuts)
- "Nobody likes me. None of you are reading this anyway." (cries, cuts)
- "My bipolar/eating/social anxiety disorder is totally out of control. My medication/meditation is no longer working." (cries, cuts)
- "I have no money and I need to buy shoes for my child. Please follow my paypal link." (cries, cuts)
- "At 9:45 last night, the Secret Service showed up on my mother's front door to talk to me about what I said about the President..." (cries, cuts)
- "Just so you know, last night my mother was murdered." (cries, cuts)
- "Here are some pictures of my cats!"
- Prior to the suspension of his journal, Fireuzer had devised a method involving a self-made spam script aimed at his own journal, which scored him over 200,000 comments, Marksmith apparently became very jealous of this and listed it as one of the reasons in his suspension.
- "Do I look like (insert latest celebrity here)?"
- "Thumbs up if you agree (with me)..." [On Youtube]
Of course, all of these fine comment whoring tactics can be easily doubled in efficacy by merely disabling comments on the post in question, thereby obligating everyone on the planet to find the next most recent post and comment about the comment-disabled post.
