Wikipedia wrote:On April 14, 2011, Encyclopædia Dramatica was replaced by Oh Internet, which claims to have "more toned down content style and a streamlined design." Sherrod DeGrippio's reasoning was that "Shock for shock’s sake is old at this point and we're looking forward to the future and how things are evolving... when you put user experience first, the language becomes highly important and that's what we’ve done." While Oh Internet has generated interest from social networks, many visitors to Encyclopædia Dramatica were displeased by the change and attacked the website's official Facebook fan page.
And it's apparently undergoing an archiving effort here: http://www.webecologyproject.org/2011/0 ... dramatica/

And someone's already replaced it: http://encyclopediadramatica.ch/Main_Page

hmm that really sucks. Anyone heard or know what the deal is with it coming back? I just noticed it was gone myself and found this thread with google =P Looking here and at a couple other forum threads it does sound like they were maybe hacked by a pissed off member or something. Though it seems thats mostly speculation. I do hope they come back soon they were a good source of info.

Interesting. It seems someone has it in for Sega-related websites. Though to be fair the SoRR website does seem to have experienced more traffic than they could have afforded!
