⚠️ 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!

Star Wars Kid
File:Aspergerbenice.gif | This person has Assburgers Syndrome, so you can't say anything bad! :-( Be aware of that, you insensitive fuck. |
Similar in some ways to Numa Numa (only even unfunnier), the Star Wars Kid phenomena also features a obese lad doing embarrassing things in front of a camera.
However, instead of purposely recording himself to be put on the Internet, a boy from Canada named Ghyslain Raza became an Internet celebrity almost overnight, due to his hilarious antics with a golf-ball collector and a video camera.

Origins
On November 8, 2002 a young BigAl2k6 had made a video of himself acting like the Star Wars character Darth Maul, using a golf ball retriever to represent his lightsaber. It was filmed at the studio of his high school (Séminaire St-Joseph). On April 19, 2003 one of his friends stumbled on the tape and uploaded it to the Kazaa peer-to-peer file sharing network as a prank.
The video file spread across the Internets extremely rapidly; within mere weeks it had been downloaded OVER 9,000 times. Within days, artists all over the world began making modifications such as adding music, visual effects and sounds, combining it with other well-known videos or scenes from films, etc. for comic effect. Among the many renditions is a Matrix video, with BigAl2k6 as Neo.
It has been rumored that the Star Wars Kid was in fact Slashpanda (aka BigAl2k6).
Profit
There were news reports that the Star Wars Kid's mom filed a CA $351,000 (USD $0.86) lawsuit against the kids who uploaded the video, citing the "harassment and derision" suffered by Raza as the prank had turned him into a global Internet cause célèbre. In 2006, Raza and his tormentors, Michaël Caron, Jean-Michel Rheault and the aptly named Jérôme Laflamme, reached an out-of-court settlement for an unknown sum. Raza finished his school year at the Pavillon Arc-en-ciel ("Rainbow Ward" in English) child psychiatry ward at the Trois-Rivières Regional Hospital Centre.
Just remember the basics:
- Step 1: Tape yourself acting like a douchebag.
- Step 2: Leave the tape out so your hilarious friends can upload the video on the internets.
- Step 3: ?????
- Step 4: PROFIT
