⚠️ 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!

GSCentral
Gameshark Central was an online community where people created and shared custom Gameshark and Pro Action Replay codes, which would then be archived and listed in updates, along with full credit given to whoever found the code.
If you have ever used GameShark or Pro Action Replay codes you can thank the 1337 h4x0rz at GSC for giving birth to them. Codes created exclusively in the GSC members' laboratories were often stolen by GSCCC (Gameshark Code Creator's Club) and InterAct and sold in code-books without any credit given to the actual creators but instead given to their mascot "Codeboy". Legal issues and in-fighting provided vast quantities of drama, but those dedicated to the cause stayed their courses, for they were truly doing it for the lulz. Typical codes found at GSC included nude Natalia in Goldeneye, Arwing in Ocarina of Time, and get Mew.
A time of prosperity and lulz
In 1999 GSC was a safe haven for nerds to unite and stand up to the man. A typical GSC member was someone who belonged to other communities but happened to foresee those communities' inevitable abortions, so they left in search of a new home, and GSC is what they found. At GSC you could mingle in the forums or lurk the codebase for something that might have motivated you enough to download and play a ROM for a few hours. Vast amounts of new codes spewed forth in updates like a never ending fountain of ambrosia into the mouths of awe-struck gamers. Suddenly there was a place where all could unite, to work together to build something of greater quality than what you might find in some ham-fisted, half-assed codebook at Wal-Mart, or even on the official Gameshark website itself.
The original site was extremely Web 1.0, and was forged in the elven fires of SSI and perl.
A time of ruin Rune and frunz
Sometime last Thursday, Rune decided to squat http://gscentral.org and wait until the original mods at GSC left so he could squander the skiddie sheeple left over from the great falling-out of 2001. Rune's "carrying of the torch" pissed off the creators of GSC, there were many well-knowns ragequitting, and to this day Viper187 still has an, albeit forgotten, Anti-Rune version of GSC.
To this day, the Rune dictatorship still reigns upon the psuedo-Web 2.0 fork.
