In the meantime, add these two lines to your hosts file:
103.21.244.0 encyclopediadramatica.top
2400:cb00:: encyclopediadramatica.top

Spoke to NameCheap, unfortunately I won't be able to transfer the domain until July 11. Use the hosts trick while it works.

Looks like my hosting provider doesn't allow Tor. If you have a server from a provider that allows Tor, hit me up.

http://a5cgtoakp5oh4vramjo6l5e63mlzrz3j2nunknmfmxp2qr2gmyqjq3id.onion/Main_Page ED is finally back, on Tor at least. Because I don't have to play by the rules of domain registrars anymore, I can restore the 5 pages Namecheap forced me to delete.

Also finally went ahead and created a Monero wallet. Plz send shekels to: 48tFem1iUMMgRMTAvNfS5gBLo8D7apB99UVWntKnbJBeD5CYQUJdBNy5hYKwxBn6jAKgEvuWy1T3QcpTZDBZ5LCM8vtwPEm

I hate to e-beg, but I have to say it because it's been half a month with no donations: please send shekels to:

Only $7 a month to keep the site running (so far); send moar for when I inevitably move to a better host, if you can.

The Tor hidden service is back up. Also the donation goal has been reached; thanks for the shekels!

BACK ON THE CLEARNET, AT FUCKING LAST!

The site has been upgraded from MediaWiki 1.41.1 to the latest version of MediaWiki as of the time of writing, which is 1.42.1. The "user protect" extension nobody used doesn't work with MediaWiki 1.42 so it has been disabled.

Also, sorry for e-begging again, but please donate since the $6 goal required for ED to stay up (the extra $40 goes to better hosting) hasn't been met in 2 weeks: https://encyclopediadramatica.win/ED:DONATE

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this: https://archive.org/details/encyclopediadramatica-20240724-wiki

Also remember to donate if you want the new server: https://encyclopediadramatica.win/Encyclopedia_Dramatica:Donate

sorry, but had to delete moar articles due to abuse reports. donate so i can move to a bulletproof server where i don't have to worry about reports

yes, .gay is trying to DMCA us. i'm not bending the knee to your clone ED, go fuck yourselves

reread the abuse email and no .gay is not trying to take us down, but rather it's the commiepedotroon AifoxHi (a.k.a. Sofia (rechtl. Artem) Gusev, aifoxhi(at)outlook(dot)jp). either way i'm still raising funds for the bulletproof server

Finished moving ED away from Contabo to a new host. Enjoy the drama!

If you get a "403 forbidden" error try a VPN or use the Tor version of ED, this error is related to the new way I block IPs that aren't either localhost or from Cloudflare. There seem to be moar Cloudflare IPs than those listed on their official list :/

Launched an ED IRC server: ircs://irc.encyclopediadramatica.win:6697/ (or if you're too lazy or retarded to install an IRC client, https://irc.encyclopediadramatica.win/)

The new host has a very permissive AUP and allows IRC (a lot of hosts don't allow IRC) so I should be able to run an IRC server.

Email is now enabled; if you have an email linked to your account go to preferences and resend the confirmation email.

Also to set the record straight: there is NO official ED.win Discord server. The only official ED.win chats are the IRC and Telegram.

Since I know .gay is reading this Telegram channel, I am making an offer to their administration (Ryan Brewer/CLU, GirlOnInternet etc.): if you are willing to let me host EDF6.9, I will; my current host is very permissive. Email admin(at)encyclopediadramatica(dot)win a copy of EDF6.9 if you agree.

Looks like you guys said no. I am giving you another chance; it's your opportunity to reunite ED peacefully and end this retarded ".win vs edramatica.com" war.

IRC should now work with Irssi; the reason it didn't work before is because it relies on some quirk with old versions of InspIRCd (the IRC server software I use) that doesn't work anymore in the modern versions (4.x.x) to detect a specific extension to the IRC standard.
