/cow/ - Lolcows (Three Years on 8chan!)

>>204674

True the wiki is great but the forums are not my type of thing

>>204667

The best way to describe ED is: Outdated.

Stuck in the past.

They still think they are relevent and hot shit.

The articles are fucking outdated. Even recent ones are still written with that prehistoric 2009 edgy style.

Somehow they still think it's funny and cool to make jokes and image macros of prehistoric events such a Columbine or VTech.

As of the forums itself? It's the complete oposite of the wiki. It's like /cow/ but more focused on real life drama. The only real fun is when some newfag decide to chimpout when someone vandalized their wiki User page.

I suspect that is ED's fault for the influx of newfags shitting up the board lately.

Like >>204680 said, the site is still stuck in 2009. Most of the articles from that period and earlier are still funny, but the more recent ones feel kind of forced, like they're trying to emulate the style of the old ones.

As for the forums, I don't have too much experience there, but from what I've seen, it's basically /b/, but with namefags.

>>204705

The more recent ones aren't funny at all really just kinda mehish

>>204684

>Hate on Reddit, tumblr and fagbook all you want but they are easy to use

what fucking planet do you live on?

Reddit might be simple to use as a cocks aggregation, sure, but actually reading conversations to use it as a discussion place is a complete pain in the ass since they're sorted like comments on cocks instead of as a discussion (as /cow/ or EDF is.), tumblr is an absolute carcrash when it comes to usability since it just throws a bunch of shit together and hopes it works. facebook i'll grant probably the best usability but it's still pretty mediocre.

EDF has a pretty reasonable layout all said (generic forum style, similar enough to kiwi farms or whategver), it just has an 'ironic' shit theme. the actual UI elements are pretty conveniently located and you can change the theme to be slightly less of an assault on the eyes with the style-chooser at the bottom of the page.

The ED Wiki, in my mind, varies wildly in quality from utter trash to nuanced and funny satire. It's obvious some of their articles are intended not for the lulz, but for political reasons and promoting agendas.

>>205470

When you start letting faggots like Onideus (glad they shitcanned him) and whoever else is committed to maximum troll shielding edit articles, you get shit. Protip: Look at who's trying too hard at trying to make someone/some group a trolling target. Odds are they're a lot funnier than the person or group they are trying sic trolls on.

Being how shit cow is these days I don't think we have any room to talk

what

>>205500

Seriously, what? /cow/ has always been /cow/, we're a board solely dedicated to producing julay.

Furthermore, most ED oldfags have probably long since moved on from 4chan now that it's normie-infested. Especially after moot's retirement too.

ED forums are like a /b/ offshoot circa 2007. I have few doubts that many of them come here now as well.

EDF is actually just a mixture of two things right now: a dedicated satirical wiki, and a closeknit forum community that has fun making fun of everything. Some of the people on there are pretty cool, and some of them are retarded faggots, but thankfully the latter always gets called out on their bullshit eventually.

One of the main unspoken laws there is "the nail that sticks out the farthest always gets the hammer."

Another pathetic SJW trying and failing to start offsite drama.

As unwritten moral rules, biased mods and neckbeard plebbitors weren't bad enough.

>>205544

Thankfully I wasn't around for that shit.

>>205544

Didn't one of the other ED admins also try to do damage control by claiming Mad Fatter never paid them for his position?

>>204680

>"Some argue that /pol/ is the largest producer of liberal tears in the world, but those amongst us who do not suffer from profound retardation know that title rightfully belongs to ED."

>They still think they are relevent and hot shit.

Good point.

Their article on gamergate is the worst example of spergs patting each other in the back. It's mere wanking, self fellatio for autists thinking their little e-fights are meaningful.

>>209272

You don't say. Ever read any other article about large raids?

>>209273

But at least there was some sort of self awareness, thEy knew it was mere Internet shenanigans, Here, they are convinced they are saving the world.

>>205470

This is true. It's really hit or miss, but it is good as a dox repository and archive of cringey shit

It's imperfect and some of the articles are a bit old, but over all its still pretty good

ED could use some updates to their software and some of their articles could seriously use some updating but I still find them very useful for getting info and dox. I have no major issue with them.

>>209272

>>209274

At least they're detached. I think a lot of people on 8chan see GG as failure, and see the remaining members as autists, but directly opposing it is still vaguely taboo because nobody wants to be thrown in the same box as aGG (I'll admit I've been bitching about this incessantly for the last few weeks)

It seems like people in the 2010s see the internet as more serious than people in the 2000s. Which seems plausible, seeing how glued to screens we are these days.

>>209296

We are living in a world where the Slime has covered everything, our minds too.

>>204674

>ED is still amazing

ahaha

>I check it daily.

>>>/suicide/

:^)

ED is trash.

Why? make a thread about kayla-na and get B&

What about Likeicare? Aside from rustling the Kiwispergs' jimmies, he's also funny as hell.

>>235924

You mean that thot that advertises for trump, or a different Kayla?

>>235924

Nice 6 month bump to say nothing of value faggot.

>>235932

Likeicare is pretty lulzy himself. He's a giant faggot

>>235932

>>209296

You are a fucking retard.

gamergate was retarded shit from beginning to end, the fact that you even still post about it proves you are an autistic no life cocksucker

ED was restarted after Oh Internet went up/sherrod pulled her bullshit with the express purpose of preserving a lot of that old cocks, not really to keep generating new tired shit. Instead the old Sysop went missing and its been taken over by newfaggots who julay it for measely ad revenue and act like 2009 never ended. Its time to let it die a respectful death.

>>238916

How?

>>238790

And if you want to see an ED article that's like that (as in, the WHOLE FUCKING ARTICLE itself), see the Colony Drop page. It's not even funny, it's just written like a kid raging mad and sperging out over srs bzns weebs and Gundamn fanboys who want Jap cartoons to act like somber Western films, a la Kick-Ass, Sin City and shit like that. That article, for me, is the lowest point of ED, it's most badly pathetic point.

https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Colony_Drop

As for us, admit it: ED is a necessity for us to summarize all the shit we found about the pigs and cows. And quite honestly, if there was a better site where we can post the cocktent we have, ED should be ditched. I personally will do.

>>238944

Jesus fuck, and I already thought they've lost their edge. At least they were right to shit on sherrod and Oh!Shitternet.

>>204684

Essentially, people should try to keep pushing back to ~'09-'12 in terms of humor, but keep shit up-to-date.

That'd be a fucking bitch and a half due to the SJW shit that you posted, because nowadays its a lot easier to get yourself a hugbox and pity even if your faggotry is exposed to the world. Plus the police give slightly more fucks about "cyberbullying".

>>204680

The Timbox thread made sure to avoid a lot of edgy-ween shit when they made up Timbox's article. It's one of the better articles out there.

>>204684

>Social Justice would probably be the modern day equivalent of a troll (take things out of context, dox, get people fired, etc.) but SJWs are the equal and opposite reaction to what anon was so long ago. They are not lulz, they are anti-lulz. Their "cows" are not fun to follow, and not fun to go after.

This. I know it sounds A-log as fuck, but every time I heard something about Dobson, I get more pissed off than laugh about it because he really is a piece of shit that justifies someone punching him or spraying Acetone on him (I stopped following him after the Zelda Williams incident because I couldn't take his shit anymore). I don't get how you can be such a soulless piece of shit on a daily basis like Dobson. Even Chris Chan took breaks before he did something, but not Dobson; it's nonstop. Even if karma really ruined him, I still wish Dobson will die a painful death.

The Dobson thread also got annoying after a while when it would be a circlejerk of DAfags, or hardcore a-log fags like InkDude made one shit post after another.

>>205588

I don't know about that, but I remember EDF/ED finding out Boudica was a sjw in disguise trying to promote her social justice shit (She had a lighting fetish). I hated that fat bitch.

>>235932

"Only I can troll people. Not you. If you make fun of cows, I'll make sure you feel bad about it, as I downvote your shit post. Now kiss my ass."

Typical LikeICare post

>>205544

I have to remember that this guy is almost 40 or something when I see someone type like this. Then again, people in his generation also abuse emojis more than anyone else.

The more I look back on it, the whole thing with ED was like that episode in South Park which referenced the Terri Schaivo situation. DeHippo was right to pull the plug on ED ]even if it was for completely selfish reasons. All good things must come to an end at some point and trying to revive the good times to be exactly like they were is only going to lead to disappointment.

ED is being sued by a copyright troll…. Discuss?
