Encyclopædia Dramatica lets Swiss office lapse, loses domain
Author: GreenReaper
Internet drama website Encyclopædia Dramatica had its domain suspended late last week after letting its virtual office in Switzerland lapse, bureaucrat Zaiger reports:
I wish we could say there was an epic story regarding DDoS, hacking, doxing and pwnage, but the reality is we just didn’t renew our virtual office in Switzerland, which was a prerequisite of having a .ch domain. We don’t know when we will get it back, all we have gotten from the registrars office is that it has been frozen for legal reasons. This is not something that is generally vigorously enforced, but apparently the Swiss government has taken a shine to us.
The site, formed from a mirror of the original wiki, was hosted at encyclopediadramatica.ch. While it may be possible for operators to regain the original domain name, for now the site has moved to encyclopediadramatica.se.
Encyclopædia Dramatica hosts numerous articles about furry fans, activities and websites, typically focussing on dramatic incidents; however, their reliability is questionable, as editors often exaggerate or simply make up material in an effort to ‘spice up’ boring topics.

Well this is almost welcome news. They trolled hard, and even made a mockery of the recent double tragedy. It sucks they got a new domain already.
Well, it’s called free speech. Ever heard of it?
It may be free speech, medina, but dramatica doesn’t care who they hurt, offend, or even insult.
That’s the point actually.
The best part about freedom of speech is that you can say Encyclopedia Dramatica blows dead goats.
