⚠️ 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!

LiveJournal Buyout
After rumors began circulating that LiveJournal was being bought out by Movable Type-creator Six Apart, it quickly became an old meme for people to post in their journals that OH NOEZ TEH SKY IS FALLING LIVEJOURNAL HAS SOLD OUT!!!
These people apparently didn't realize the benefit of vastly increased stability and development resources that would come from the tripled resource pool of a combined Six Apart/LiveJournal effort, not to mention some of the less obvious benefits like increased staff salaries. With the LJ Abuse team getting paid more, they'll finally be able to afford some decent looking hookers and a weekly 8ball of blow. After getting laid and snorting a fat line, they'll undoubtedly be less of a bunch of vapid tightasses, and with less tightassery from the Abuse team, fewer LiveJournal superstars will get suspended.
Not only that, but Six Apart + LiveJournal = SALJ. This omen heralds the triumph of the SALJers over the Internets.
For users, the first effect of the buyout was changes to the Terms of Service.
The second effect was opening the service to users younger than 13, plunging the average user age precipitously within weeks. Troll and sexual deviant targets immediately changed from angsty teen mall goths to the pre-pubescent whine set. Barbies and Hot-Wheels overtook iPods on camwhore wishlists, and perverts gained an interest in early developing eight-year olds.
It remains to be seen whether this was LiveJournal's shark jumping moment, though the second LJ buyout by TEH RUSSIANS OMGZ will qualify if nothing else does.
