OhInternet
|
Good News, Everyone! OhInternet.com is no more. No news at 11 because nobody cares. |
OhInternet (also known as OhI, OhShitternet, Know Your Meme 2: Electric Boogaloo, or old ED's purported killer) was the fetid afterbirth spilling from the diseased uterus of Encyclopedia Dramatica’s heartbreaking temporary downfall of April 2011. Created by morbidly obese traitor-hipster Sherrod Ellen DeGrippo and her sysop sheep, OhI was basically a carbon copy of Know Your Meme, except instead of cataloging memes with a pseudo-scientific flair, it depressingly and relentlessly tested the reader's tolerance for tepid, pretentious, and smarmy articles about HILARIOUS INTERNET CULTURE. It was among the Internet's most naked and obvious attempts to gain Jew gold at the expense of content, though this was vehemently denied by the grossly corpulent and badly-aging liar who orchestrated this unforgiveable, unabashed treachery. Going from an awesome wiki about drama to an almost offensively bland catalog of memes and milquetoast "columns," OhI was universally panned by the Internet during its thankfully brief existence.

History[edit]
Before this abortion, there was a mighty wiki known as Encyclopedia Dramatica, Sherrod’s offspring, which originally archived LiveJournal Drama. However, as ED began to cover other topics it attracted different users whom Sherrod despised and who didn’t think her as mighty as she perceived herself. From then on, she began to hate her own offspring more and more as each day passed by. For the longest time, she chose to keep it as it was her only cash cow in life as she was too lazy to get a real job. ED became plastered with ads, and EDF sold useless Internet add-ons for more than ten dollars, yet Sherrod was never satisfied.
In 2010, a blog dedicated to doxing ED sysops popped up and paranoia ensued across ED IRC. Shortly after that, DMCAs were being sent at an alarming rate. Sherrod, being a gargantuan pussy, refused to restore articles despite counter DMCAs being filed, as she wanted to stay on the “safe” and “legal” side. The two people who basically did all the logical thinking for her, OldDirtyBtard and weev, were gone from the Internet as well. Seeing the site that ED looked down upon get money, she decided to give in to pressure and do things the easy way: sell out.
Interestingly enough, Oh Internet was actually supposed to replace ED back in late January 2011. This was prevented when an infamous tweet popped up in ED’s official Twitter account saying “RIP.” This three-letter tweet broke the hearts of many Internet nerds and Gawker wrote an article about it including a link to the blog that contained sysop dox. Due to many complaints, Sherrod allowed ED to remain on life support another two months.
Statements from the sellouts[edit]
It all started with ED going down and Sherrod posting tweets about ED “going under maintenance and coming soon shortly.” Then the OhI blog was born. Surprisingly, it had an okay start. However, when it was revealed that ED was NOT being fixed and was getting replaced with the new OhI wiki, shit began to get real.

As the internet mourned the loss, Sherrod tried to ease the pain. However, her main mistake was her refusal to talk to ED’s fanbase. Instead, she did attentionwhoring interviews and alienated the users that did the majority of work on ED.

Unfortunately for Sherrod, her answers were far from satisfactory, which led the users to turn against her. Droning about how I Can Has Cheezburger? bought Know Your Meme and had $30 million only made her appear even greedier for money for money’s sake.
Like all sows on the internet, WhaleVinyl still has some misguided white knights. The loyalists are former ED sysops and users who weren’t funny enough to write articles on ED. The OhI sysops have gained a sense of elitism as they believe that they singlehandedly created ED and they have a say on what happens to it.

As a stroke of genius, Oh Internet now tries to justify itself by attacking its old fanbase in a subtle and well calculated manner.
As well as becoming the very thing it sought to mock.
Content[edit]
Save yourself from browsing Oh Internet; this will summarize it just fine. To start off, the layout entirely resembled the page of a parked domain. What made one realize that it was an actual website was that the page used to be plastered with boring memes from two years ago that appeal to twelve-year-olds. The templates users utilized when making an article were worse than those of freewebs, and each article started off with a one line sentence and a giant image. Despite Sherrod stating that Oh Internet was meant to catalog anything Internet related, the only articles that users were allowed to write about were meme-centric.
In essence, OhI was basically a watered-down version of WhatPort80, another censored version of ED which the sysops spent so much time building. However, OhI had a boring layout, different format, less article content and bigger text. The bulletin board, which was equivalent to ED's Thizzlehat Junction Center, used to be the center of complaints made by ED fanatics and the rare thumbs up.
Frankly, nobody gave a shit about this site, and the site is DEAD. Ogun be praised. There were typically fewer than 5 article edits per day, and the same 3 users seemed to be making 99% of the edits.
The vast majority of the internal links on each OhI article were red.
General response[edit]
Turning into the very thing it made fun of, OhI became the most reviled thing on the Internet. The very fanbase on which OhI sysops blamed the downfall teamed up into a great force which resurrected Encyclopedia Dramatica through a herculean labor of love and necromancy. They transformed the ED realm and annihilated the old regime of Sherrodocracy. To fuel their abject hatred of the land-manatee, they had to retrieve thumbnails of images through Google cache when Sherrod had a full archive of the images yet pigheadedly refused to give them out.
Others took to vandalizing the Oh Internet wiki, the only funny part of the site, sadly. Thanks to the "Daily Top Ten Contributors," vandals made it their goal to reach the list as they gain points by ruining articles (somehow) and boasting their fine skills. Below were the finest contributors of Oh Internet.
Cool users![edit]
But not everyone preferred ED over Oh Internet - just ask Luka Magnotta, author of the Web's premierest snuff film, who allegedly maintained a profile on the site, according to the National Post, who don't know how to read an edit history, or tell the difference between article and userspace, even on Wikipedia.

"Oh Internet is not Know Your Meme!!!"[edit]
Here is what happened when somebody pointed out the similarities between Oh Internet and Know Your Meme, even though Sherrod herself bought and typosquatted the domain http://knowyourmemeS.com and pointed it at WhatPort80 and later at Oh Internet hoping to get some of that sweet typo traffic. But they were totally different.

10/29/2012 NEVAR FORGET[edit]
On October 29th, 2012, one day before the second anniversary of OldDirtyBtard's death, Oh Internet went down. Credit was claimed by the Gay Nigger Association of America. The internet has a little less cancer, at least for the time being. 
O_Internet, Oh Internet's official Twitter later tweeted the familiar words:
| — | ||
The same tweet that was given just before Encyclopedia Dramatica was tragically replaced with the site that would go on to become the butt of every Internet joke for at least the next two years.
| — | ||
Even further, this new Twain quote was used to obfuscate the real reason for their downtime, as there were not any actual technical issues. Oh Internet was vandalized to death by the GNAA and the only way they could stop it was to shut the server down. Hope they have a backup!
Closure[edit]
Around October of 2013, almost two years after the chthonic abomination that was OhI emerged from Sherrod's wallet, the Oh Internet servers started "refusing connections" to visitors. In other words, the site went offline. Oh Internet users/readers didn't seem to notice, or care. (HINT: There are none!)
Whether or not the site is closed for good, and whether or not Sherrod and the rest of the OhI staff will try a new site remains to be seen. However, for the time being, the enemies of the lulz who created OhI are defeated. NEVER FORGIVE, NEVER FORGET!

They even stoop down to selling ED shirts to stay relevant.
