Will we ever have portals here for certain topics like we did over at ED? Just curios. - keyshawn (talk) 22:12, 26 April 2011 (EDT)

• We certainly hope so! They were one of our highest traffic areas, save maybe the main page. However, we're currently learning and ins and outs of all the semantic stuff. This will let us do a lot of great dynamic content and information gathering for the portals so we want to get a better grasp on that first. WhiteMystery 22:05, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

Peace Talks

I wonder if there is any room for negotiation between OhInternet and the fake ED tribute site? (I'd post a link to a similar post at the Hall of Lawfags at fake ED but the spam filter has blocked it.) Tom Complex 11:12, 29 April 2011 (EDT)

• With the way they've behaved towards us and the things they've posted thus far, there is likely no chance for any "negotiations" or anything similar. They've proven themselves to be abhorrent and toxic, and it's best to just sever all ties. I'd advise you not to get involved there as well.

Should we do any coverage on this? Sony's fuck up has pretty much been a huge point of discussion for the past week on the internet and video gaming scope. Except for stating the premise of the outage, anyone else got anything intricate or a lulzy POV on this? --Bob 15:14, 30 April 2011 (EDT)

• Hi Bob! Yeah, I think that there should be some coverage on it for sure. We just need to put the stuff together. I would say, when you 'create with form' use the "event" one. There is this stub Anonymous vs. Sony whih is separate but related.

Email Confirmation Difficulties

Alright, something seems to be up with the email confirmation functionality. For some reason, it simply won't send confirmation emails to @aol.com addresses. The page says that it's been sent, but the actual email is never received. However, other domains seem to work perfectly fine (I've had no problems with my gmail address). I know that Aol's been pretty finicky in the past with automated forms from sites; is anyone else experiencing this problem?

• I had the same problem! I tried some mail adresses, aol.com and my own domaine.

Page suggestions

Alright, I have a few ideas for Internet trends that may need articles. The first would be the Revoltech Woody figure, AKA "that Woody toy with the sketchy face." Images of this figure arranged in all manner of creepy, funny, and/or bizarre poses have been popping up a lot across the tubes lately, and we might want to do an article explaining it. If anything, it would spare 4chan's /toy/ from its weekly "what is this figure and where do I find it" threads. The second suggestion would be an old /v/ meme, the edited Sonic coloring book pages altered to have obscene and frankly ridiculous dialogue (the most famous being "YOU DOUBLE N****R"). A lot of the dialogue from these images still pops up today, like the nonsensical insult "CANDLE-SNIFFING F**K FENCE." Do you guys think this meme is still relevant enough (or historically significant enough) for an article here? If need be, I have all of the examples and images from the old ED article saved, so providing examples wouldn't be an issue. But these two do lead to another issue. The language of the Robotnik pages is obviously NSFW, and more than a few of the Woody images are as well (I mean, just look at that rapeface). If we were to give either of these articles, how would we go about this? I thought that one way of handling it would be to censor the quotes in the Robotnik article, and have a gallery of the SFW Woody images visible by default, and then have second image-sections for each that are collapsed, with a NSFW warning on the de-collapse button. Lastly, would be an article for various awkward manga quotes that have since found their way into frequent Internet usage. Things like "Wah! So what are we going to do on the bed? *POMF*" and "WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD FROST A CAKE WITH THEIR BUTT!?" They're probably too small for individual articles, but perhaps an article collecting explanations for them may be useful?

IroncladTuna 20:38, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

• Hello ICTuna. I will enumerate for ease of use.

1. Aol absolutely will not work as an email address. We are sorry for the inconvenience, they simply don't pass confirmation emails through because they are spam-phobic jerks.
2. Revoltech Woody sounds like a meme worth categorizing. You can "create with form" button on the top right and choose meme. All material MUST be safe for work, so the images need to either be censored in some way (pixelated or black bars or something) or not uploaded. Any language that is offensive or NSFW needs to be treated in the same way as well. We cannot post NSFW images of any kind, all needs to be appropriate. Think American Television appropriate (not showtime/skinemax, regular TV).
3. The meme is historically significant if you can show that it is. If there are enough examples and information, then that qualifies it, in my opinion. If you have old content saved, just make sure to review and re-read it so that it makes sense and is SFW, other than that, go forth, Tuna.
4. I don't think that "WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD FROST A CAKE WITH THEIR BUTT!?" or things like that is too small. It can be a short/sweet write up. There is nothing wrong wiht something short. Other people will come along and add to it later too.
5. These are some good questions/suggestions. You sound like you know what you're doing, so go for it! You also might want to check out OI:N for needed stuff. LEt me know if you have any more questions.

Sherrod 20:49, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

• • Thanks for the input.

1. I suppose that makes sense. From what I've heard, Aol hates a lot of websites. To spare confusion for future newcomers, though, maybe you should put a note on the sign-up page saying that Aol addresses won't work?
2. As for Woody, I'll make an article tomorrow. I reckon about half the images are SFW, and I can censor about two-thirds of the rest with little difficulty.
3. But I think that the Robotnik edits simply won't work as an article here. They may be memetic, but it would be fairly impossible to censor them without the images being a massive cluster of black bars.
4. I'll probably begin an article for *POMF*/cake-frosting/etc. after I finish the Woody one.

Dailymotion, metacafe, NND, and Youku links

Are there any plans to link to videos on other videosharing websites, like Dailymotion, Metacafe, Nico Nico Douga, and Youku? VitsankMorris 15:47, 4 May 2011 (EDT)

Creating an article on a country

I would like to create an article on Mexico and its overall internet presence, but I'm not sure which category to choose: 1. Event 2. Meme 3. Person 4. Phenomenon 5. Software 6. Subculture 7. UserPage 8. Vocabulary 9. Website

I guess "Subculture" - but it still doesn't perfectly fit.

After a brief summary of the country's culture and history, I would like to mention narcovideos and El Blog del Narco (a specific phenomenon and a specific website, respectively). I'll see if I can think about any other internet-related stuff the country is known for.

Also, I'd like to include a scene from Man on Fire (spoiler for people who haven't seen the movie) in the video section

Editing Hiccups

I just put together an article for Applemilk1988/Emily/Emiry, using the "create with form" option, and it didn't...form....right. I'm sure someone who knows Oh Internet's inner workings better than I do will have either already fixed it or will do so shortly. I've also had trouble with the "Show Preview" function, in that it appears to be loading the page's content, but remains on the page for the form, with "Show Preview" replaced with "..." and the twirling hourglass when I mouse over that. Should there be a pop-up? Is this because I made a huge mistake have Firefox 4? Wat do? DavidFailkips 11:10, 6 May 2011 (EDT)

• Preview behaves oddly. And I think you broke it, the form didn't apply the right way for some reason.

 ^»»W^hat 12:26, 6 May 2011 (EDT)

• You missed a closing bracket in the body of the text, and everything went berserk as a result.

 ^»»W^hat 12:51, 6 May 2011 (EDT)

• Huh. I'm guessing the quote probably rubbed up against the People template. And the "show changes, show preview" trick works perfectly. Also that spinning hamster .gif is kind of hypnotic/mesmerizing. DavidFailkips 13:37, 6 May 2011 (EDT)

Korea

Do you guys think it would be too much to make individual North Korea and South Korea pages? While both are part of Korea, their internet cultures are soo different (because a dictator's in the north, while the south doesn't have one) VitsankMorris 04:15, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

• Have you seen north korea's website? It's hilarious. Also, nah, it wouldn't be too much, but are you sure north korea needs a page? Internet use would be incredibly restricted there. --GondorCanada 05:08, 8 May 2011 (EDT)
  • I'm wondering, for the NK side of things, if that page could cover internet memes related to NK (there seem to be a lot of demotivational posters related to the north). Are there enough NK-related internet memes out there? VitsankMorris 07:01, 8 May 2011 (EDT)

• • North Korea is Best Korea, the Justin Beiber/North Korea thing, and Meanwhile, in North Korea are only North Korea memes that spring to mind. Not a whole lot to work with. Atomic Joe 15:22, 8 May 2011 (EDT)
    • Maybe the best strategy is to try to build up both Koreas from the "Korea" page and see if/when a split needs to happen. VitsankMorris 16:06, 8 May 2011 (EDT)

Suggested social network profiles

Aside from Facebook, has OI considered making a profile on Orkut? Orkut is known for having a lot of people from Brazil and India. Many internet users from India speak English - It would be interesting to have people from India cover Indian internet culture and memes here VitsankMorris 04:56, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

• Can you speak Hindi or Portuguese? --Bob 15:38, 8 May 2011 (EDT)
  • I don't know how to speak either. However many Indians on the internet know English.
  • In India the official languages are Hindi and English (English is stronger in southern India vs. the north), but people speak many, many local dialects as their mother tongues (Tamil, Marathi, Punjabi, Hindi in the "Hindi belt", etc etc)
  • If you want I can check Orkut and see how often Indian users there use English vs. Hindi and other Indian tongues.
  • VitsankMorris 16:02, 8 May 2011 (EDT)
    • Just checked Orkut - A lot of the Indian postings for community groups, etc. are in English (I am trying to see if there are any in local Indian languages) - while the Brazilians speak Portuguese
    • When I search communities on Orkut for "India" I get 84 pages
    • When I search "भारत" (Hindi for India) I get 16 pages

Ai Weiwei and the Grass Mud Horse

Has anyone seen the image of Ai Weiwei only wearing the "Grass Mud Horse" - Is it okay if that image is uploaded on here? VitsankMorris 02:55, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

Subject of Interest/Agenda

I know OI is supposed to be just a strict source of information and not correlated to "Lulz". But the question is, what separates this site from other sites with the same information such as KYM? I know the answer is that KYM is only edited by a direct few users and OI is an open wiki to edit by anybody - but why are people going to come here to view the articles if they can be viewed at KYM instead? (Note that KYM already has popularity so theres not much of an argument to say "we can make better content". )

You are going to say that their articles are strictly meme-based and this wiki revolves around all internet culture. But lets take the software category for an example; software articles on Wikipedia are A LOT more informative, so why would people view a short-shitty stub about how Firefox is quick!!? As for memes, compare it to KYM. Even for advice dog variations/etc, the names of each of them are PRETTY OBVIOUS; so why are people going to want to come read about FBF MEANS ITS A FROG WITH A FOUL HUMOUR TO IT?!!? For the Collection side of things, such as people coming to view the article to see the list of images, there can be galleries easily seen at Memegen.

Not to mention all of the articles here are just re-hashed versions of ED pages into a SFW version and removing all the lulz. This is not a troll. I just want to see what the sites agenda is and what others inputs are on it.

Clerisy 06:36, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

• I wonder if there are things on the internet that KYM wouldn't cover, but would be not notable enough for Wikipedia
• Also for stuff that do have Wikipedia, maybe focus upon aspects that wouldn't be covered in Wikipedia articles (stuff that would not be "notable" and/or "vanity"??)
• Also perhaps getting info on non-US/Western memes/internet stuff could possibly help
• For instance, I'm not sure if either KYM or Wikipedia has an article with the structure and style that, say, Narcovideo has.
• VitsankMorris 10:04, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

• • I see where you're coming from. But does that then make the articles we have which are on Wikipedia and KYM have invalid? If that's the case, the site should be focusing on articles like that and stop trying to re-hash old pages.

Clerisy 10:23, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

• That's a good question - how to differentiate the existing content too. How to differentiate the pages on memes and the pages on content that would be considered "notable" for Wikipedia...
• One thing TVTropes does is it states that it has a casual atmosphere and is not like Wikipedia in the seriousness that it takes itself. Perhaps this philosophy could be used on OI. I wonder if writing the articles on subjects that are on Wikipedia in a "relax, you don't have to cite everything or make sure everything is totally notable" manner would help
• VitsankMorris 13:20, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

• OHi's not supposed to be for information purposes only. It's also supposed to be for entertainment; the articles don't have to be NPOV, and many of the articles already have a cynicism about them. OHi is a fledgling site that still needs to find its voice, but my guess is that it'll develop into something both funny and informative without all of the gratuitous racial slurs and all of the "xxcutiechick is a fugly weeaboo furry art thief who sucked my mother's dick". OHi will develop into what the userbase wants it to be as time goes along, within the SWF and quality control parameters. --Teakettler 14:12, 9 May 2011 (EDT)
• "xxcutiechick is a fugly weeaboo furry art thief who sucked my mother's dick"

Damn, I was about to put that in an article.

14:27, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

• We can talk more about this if you want to catch me on IRC. This is more of an interactive discussion that something that is strictly messagey for the BB.

1. With "for the lulz" is such an amorphous term. There are ways to write that are clever, witty and interesting that still have good information and reveal what things mean. It doesn't have to be strictly-serious, but OHi does need to have useful "info-tainment". I also find that when people try to be funny, the writing comes off as totally awful and terrible. ED articles were 90% non sense gibberish and we want to avoid that here. Let's create a "guide to the internet" that is interesting, fun and not necessarily covering all the same info and everyone else.
2. I don't really know much about KYM, but I do know that they are super controlled and locked down about what is allowed to be posted there. They also take this weird scientific approach to memes, writing like they're observers from the outside. We have a much closer perspective and don't have to keep it 100% scientific.
3. A good OHi article explains the person, place, thing, meme or whatever and gives the dirt associated with it. A lot of our articles really do need a lot more drama and gossip/dirt added. I agree on that point for sure and encourage others to add it. What happened previously was articles that gave a bunch of crap that no one cared about and didn't explain anything.
4. Make sure articles explain why the reader should care about them as they relate to the internet.
5. As for why people will get their info from OHi instead of other sources, first I hope that our content really is better than other sources, but the reality is that we come up first in search engines for a lot of topics and will continue to increase our search rank. That's just a fact of reality with semantic-mediawiki.

Does this make sense?

Hi. How do I move Epic meal time to Epic Meal Time? Or can only sysops do that? VitsankMorris 15:38, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

OhI rules page breaking the rules

I noticed when reading the rules that one of the rules is "NO HATE SPEECH", however further down the page is the following sentence: "Mods are here to help and improve the site, not to be punching bags for retard users. "

I refer you to the Wikipedia page and specifically the following sentence: "The noun retard is particularly seen as pejorative; as of 2010, the Special Olympics, Best Buddies and over 100 other organizations are striving to help eliminate the use of the "r-word" (analogous to the "n-word") in everyday conversation." I don't think that this is very appropriate, do you? What if some poor, mentally challenged person came along and read that? They would be mortified! Please amend this forthwith, as at the moment the rules page is breaking it's own rules! Abocringeine 13:52, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

• Your glorious plan to point out alleged hypocrisy has failed. Begone with you!

 ^»»W^hat 14:49, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

• Having volunteered for Special Olympics Int'l in the past, I can tell you that a great many people who are mentally retarded really don't care how the word is used. Their line of thinking is generally "as a matter of fact, yes, I am retarded. Thanks for noticing". They see it as more of a label than an insult, and most of them are perfectly capable of recognizing when someone does something catastrophically stupid. The result is that I have seen volunteers called retarded by actual retarded people. The organizations you mentioned may think that they're fighting hate speech, but the most of the people they're "protecting" really couldn't care less.  MV Razzmatazz  talk  18:31, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

• I think that is a bit hypercritical considering that it's one word on one page used as a jab at people who can't follow simple rules of conduct — not a multi-paragraph tirade against the mentally deficient. Hardly the most noticeable thing on the page-Ket 18:46, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

• • I disagree. This is like saying that it's ok to use the "n-word" as long as it's only once because black people also use that word. That doesn't make it OK. My brother has cerebral palsy and has been called the "r-word" many times before. It is very hurtful and rude, and totally uncalled for in the context it has been used. Why is it so important to call the users that? I'm sure you can find a wittier way of expressing yourself. Abocringeine 22:32, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

"Fake" ED?

Hey guys whats being done about this "new" ED ripoff (I won't post the address in case of ban) to stop them from using our content. Some of the stuff that I contributed is up there now, and I'm just wondering if anything is being done by Sherrod / other admins here or if I should submit a DMCA or something. I don't think a DMCA from me will do much as its difficult to identify my specific contributions without the old logs.

Also, I debated whether to post this. Went onto IRC to try and ask about this but it was dead. If this is inappropriate or not wanted or whatever pls don't ban me, just delete it. I'm seriously concerned, not trolling, but based on the history I can understand how an admin might think i'm a troll and ban me.

  • Yeah, I'm not going to submit a DMCA request myself because I think it would be pointless. I can't see why you would think the feds are going to come down on them, seeing as the original ED survived for what, 7 years without any action being taken? Also, I don't think it's actually hosted in the US, so I don't think the "feds" could do much. I just wanted to know if Sherrod or any of the other admins are taking any action on this issue, or if they are just going to ignore it. Abocringeine 23:58, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

Meme Combining

The author of the original ED's Meme Combining article (Vinland) has expressed concerns over his rights and how OhInternet is reusing his work. Vinland never agreed to allow ED to redistribute his work, and he never agreed to allow ED to relicence his work to another website. ED's Copyrights page never said that ED has the right to redistribute or relicense content submitted to it. I would like the Meme Combining article deleted and replaced with original content. Other copies of original ED content should also be replaced. The articles I've written for this website are original, so it shouldn't be too hard to do. If you insist on keeping that article as is, then I must insist that the page history for the original article be made available for the purpose of attribution. It isn't right for User:Entropy to be displayed as the author of content she or he never wrote. --Michaeldsuarez 09:12, 24 May 2011 (EDT)

• Oh, how pathetically amusing for a fake ED admin creating an account here just to leave that comment. I say we give this fellow a round of applause for that clever and highly original display of humor! Certainly a post of this magnitude takes a lot of time to conceive and deliver.

Now in all seriousness, it's low quality editors like that that continue to make me lose interest for joining fake ED (as if it weren't low to start off with) and a leader that is clearly spoiled whom I have less trust in than most of them have in Sherrod combined. Yes, admittedly, there have been times I considered joining fake ED as I ocassionally go on their wiki channel and it would be delightful to work with my old friends, but not at the expense where editors whom we would instantly scare off and ban before roam free to spout memes and ad hominems with those users being encouraged. The first article you guys should have restored was the ED:101 just to get these angsty chantards that ruined ED to submit semi-decent OC. Honestly, this ploy at trying to start some kind of drama or "war" is infintely ridiculous. Also tell Vinland I said "hi" and that I missed him :>

Blanking fancruft and trivia from the Naruto article

There is an enormous amount of trivia on the Naruto article, the entire "Naruto Anime and Manga" section should just be deleted as it just summarizes the entire story and gives nothing to it's relation to the internet. Such a summary belongs on the Naruto wiki, not OHi. These are the reasons i feel OHi is in danger of becoming worse than ED. I request that an admin blank this section as it won't let me.--Nex Carnifex 01:53, 29 May 2011 (EDT)

I got rid of it. While I don't think that most of the articles are in danger of becoming trivia/fandom wank dumps, I do agree that the anime and manga articles need to be monitored closely because of this.

Fansubs

We don't yet have an article on fansubs, but we should. I would make it myself, but I'm busying myself with projects that are more ptime-only at the time. It'll be easy, so anyone can take care of it. Just make sure you talk about how:

• Fansubs are rarely as good as official subs and never as good as dubs.
• Fansubs are made only by neckbeards, only for ultimate weebs.
• There is a debate in the anime-bootleggin' community over whether:
  • Fansubs "help" or "hurt" the anime industry (they are essential for rampant piracy, figure that one out yourself)
  • Fansubs are better or worse than real subs or dubs.

If you need help, check out the forums over at Anime News Network. Don't bother writing anything - just read the responses to any given Answerman column and you'll see what I mean about the debate over fansubs. Also, I have a buttload of lousy fansub images I'll be uploading to User:Ptime/Fansubs. Thanks! Ptime 23:24, 2 June 2011 (EDT)

Contradictions

When you go into the needed articles list, it says "Bill O'Reilly," and when I went to create it, I saw there was a deletion log left by Sherrod. Looking at the tid bits of the article the person previously made, it was terrible. My question is, are we not actually wanting an article on Bill or do we just need an article not written by a retard? I like to be completely sure I'm doing the right thing before taking the leap. - 05:40, 3 June 2011 (EDT)

• I'd say it's more on the "not written by a moron" thing. I looked in the deletion logs and didn't see Sherrod deleting it, but that User:Idkwhat guy. Just be sure to keep it internets relevant and you should be fine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ptime (talk • contribs)

Proposed edit to "Encyclopedia Dramatica"

I would like to have the following added to "Encyclopedia Dramatica"

"ED was an American website, and was only available in the English language"

Thank you, VitsankMorris 15:42, 3 June 2011 (EDT)

• Since the primary audience of OhInternet is anglophone, I think it makes sense to only point out that a website was in a certain language if that language was not English, and thus inaccessible to anglophones. I don't go around pointing out that "this fruit is not organic" because most fruits sold in America aren't organic, and it's safe to assume that a given fruit is not organic. I only point out organic fruits, because they are unusual and deserve note. The same should go for English - there isn't a property for "website language," so not every website on the whole wiki needs to link to English language. Ptime 16:03, 3 June 2011 (EDT)
  • Aha, I understand your point about only pointing it out when it's not English. But now that I think about it, having a new website property as "language" sounds like a good idea to me.
  • Maybe one time to really point it out in the case of an English website is when certain characteristics of a website guarantee that a website will be English-only, i.e. with Conservapedia Schafly's micromanaging and its American provincialism kind of kill the chances of making any new language editions.
  • VitsankMorris 16:23, 3 June 2011 (EDT)

• A language property probably would be a good idea, especially to group Japanese and American websites into different groups. However, as long as one doesn't exist, let's avoid making a pseudo-property by tagging articles with links to other articles. It looks stupid. Ptime 17:14, 3 June 2011 (EDT)

• Okay, now that I read the message above, I'll wait and see how the idea of making an additional website property goes.
• As for other things I have observed... sometimes some content is available in English, i.e. many Chinese websites are Chinese only, except that their corporate info (for foreigners willing to invest money in the company) or terms of use are available in English. Also sometimes parent companies have English when their subsidiaries do not.
• VitsankMorris 17:34, 3 June 2011 (EDT)

• I'm not saying that you can't talk about language ever at all. I'm saying "don't go through the whole wiki linking every page to English language."

Minor edit troubles

As you have probably seen, none of my edits have ever been marked as "minor." I understand that some of them weren't minor, but the ones that could be described as such by anyone with a brain I have been marking the little checkbox for. However, none of them have actually been marked as minor. I hope somebody can help me that hopefully isn't pissed off from seeing a bunch of low-byte edits that aren't marked as minor.

The Needed pages Section Okay I'm sitting here with a ton of time to kill I'm going to spend it making more pages for the "needed pages section"

• Some help would be nice but not critically needed.
• Any suggestions, advice ,what-not-to-do, etc?
• reviewing the new pages would be very helpful.

Here's some advice: ~~~~

Sonmanic

Hi, guys. I noticed some guy removed Sonmanic's real name (for the record, it wasn't doxed or anything - Sonmanic freely revealed his real name), rendered an image useless, and changed the main page image.

I asked him why and got a long reply on the talk page User_talk:Papermate

I think this issue needs to be looked into VitsankMorris 02:17, 5 July 2011 (EDT)

And to reply to the comments on the talk page...

1. OI does not use "doxed" data, but it does include real names if the person willingly discloses them, i.e. Chris-chan made his own real name public. Same with Sonmanic...

2. Honestly if Sonmanic didn't want this stuff to become a big deal, he shouldn't have posted the photos on the internet to begin with. They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...

3. OI has its own editorial opinions on things, and the article has a viewpoint on the Sonic activities that I think most OI editors agree with. FYI The OI article doesn't use the Godwin's Law on him...

4. I understand if he may want to retire from the internet for awhile, but as seen from the YouTube parody videos, etc. The activity has already happened, and I think OI needs to document it.

5. About the last paragraph, we don't think too kindly of legal threats.

VitsankMorris 02:40, 5 July 2011 (EDT)

If one recalls old ED's policy on legal threats, then I'm quite sure one can gather what'll occur here from them. Also crying over freely posted dox and the like is just comical. Really now, if someone had posted his address and whatnot that wasn't public, I could see a point. But if he's posted his name publicly? His problem. Or tl;dr he's crying over information that he could have (and should have) kept a secret. /end lame rant Pory 02:51, 5 July 2011 (EDT)

He's now blocked, due to the legal threat... VitsankMorris 02:52, 5 July 2011 (EDT)

Facts and ED

Hey OInternet! New user to the site, not so new to the whole wiki thing.

I signed up specifically because there are a wealth of articles that although have been rewritten from ED, they retain the footprint of Encyclopedia Dramatica's... 'truthiness', if you will.

For a while I wasn't okay with the fact that people were throwing up whatever they wanted with little regard to credibility, specifically with pages about users such as Snapesnogger or Chris-chan.

OHi is defined as a sort of wikipedia for internet topics. OHi is specifically not Encyclopedia Dramatica. When writing articles about what were previously 'hot topics' on ED, stick to the facts and try to be as unbias as possible, please. Soundplayerhater 23:33, 11 July 2011 (EDT)

• The site is supposed to be info-tainment, so I think we can make some jokes at the person. It just can't be like the jokes at ED that are made as flamebait (though that is what I just interpreted from the rules). Both Chris-chan and Snapesnogger prove they are horrible people through their own volition (PS: Good job on the Snapesnogger article though). Some of the article are pretty ED-y, but I think the Chris-chan article is pretty unbiased. Just don't go overboard with removing the

jokes and such. Info-tainment, after all. LiquidSnake 11:21, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

How do I OhI

Hello, i came from Know Your Meme and im new to this site.

Anyways, is editing this site the same sh*t as editing KYM, or it is different?

Reltih Floda 23:15, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

• Unlike KYM, we are not run by a corporate machine, and allow anyone to edit, and we seek to document not simply memes, but all different aspects of Internet culture. I suggest you view Help:Contents for more details. HJBotz 23:22, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

Recent Changes

I looked at Recent Changes and I have one question

Who the hell are the "desu warriors" and what do they want and where did they come from?

Reltih Floda 23:19, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

• Lol. It's just vandalism. Happens occasionally.

Sherrod 23:23, 13 July 2011 (EDT)

Notability question

I'm just wondering (for the purposes of a few articles I am thinking of writing) what the bare minimum of notability for, say, a YouTuber is to warrant inclusion in OhInternet?-Ket 04:09, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

• I would say at least one famous video or some kind of major involvement in some YT drama. LiquidSnake 11:59, 19 July 2011 (EDT)
• ^this, altho if its just one video (e.g.: Nyan Cat or Numa Numa) then the article should be about the video, not the user. -hipcrime
• I agree here too. As long as there is something to make the person more important than a single video, then go for it. We don't have to have super strict guidelines for notability. If there are links or vids to include, that should be enough, imp. Sherrod 02:34, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

This Website Does Not Deserve That Name

The name "OhInternet" does not become this website "KnowYourMeme" is better.

Corporate shills are what the admins are, STEALING anonymous culture. I will be reporting this website to it's host for coyright infringement.

GirlVinyl should hang, and KillHamster is so far up to his neck in trying to fuck over *chan culture, that I can't tell where he ends, and Moot begins.

It's telling when your websites best contributor is named "45".

Fucking fail, eliminate your still-birth from the hallowed halls of anonymous now, GirlVinyl. (Moar like HurlVinyl, judging by GirlVinyl's beauty shots, I would immediately think "man the torpedos".

If you disagree with any of these facts, please go to http://facts.meep.on.zoy.org. (a must-see!)

note: the site above contains malware.

• lol. It's pretty ridiculous that you say Anonymous culture has been stolen when it's entire basis is on 4chan and memes, which is something that is inherently based on being shared and used by others, making stealing theologically none existent. It is really you who is full of himself, trying to impress his SUPER HACKER ANONYMOUS buddies by so called "attacking" a website. Honestly, go back to /b/. LiquidSnake 23:40, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

Vanity/attack article needs to be deleted, user needs to be banned

Can someone please delete Savetheinternet and ban the user who created it? Outstanding citizen 22:17, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

• I deleted it but I can't ban so yeah. LiquidSnake 23:40, 23 August 2011 (EDT)

• Thanks for catching that

Operation Payback

If this has been brought up before just link me.

Why don't we have an article on this? While it is a touchy subject and got ED in a bit of trouble, the new format and style of the site should allow us to get by with an article without any legal issues. After all, we do have an article on Op Sony plus there is a TOW article on this. I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in the subject, and if not can we just make a redirect? Outstanding citizen 20:33, 7 September 2011 (EDT)

only because nobody has written it yet. there is no policy based reason it cant exist on ohinternet, it simply hasnt been written... yet. (hint hint) -hipcrime 20:39, 7 September 2011 (EDT)

ok lol, will do. Outstanding citizen 20:40, 7 September 2011 (EDT)

Newgrounds Article

I was editing the Newgrounds article and I somehow managed to fuck up the coding, though I am not exactly sure what is wrong with it... LiquidSnake 03:03, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

• Did you edit via form or did you source code it? 19:35, 24 September 2011 (EDT)
  • I personally can't tell what you did, but the 'Create with form' has disappeared. If I can't get any help via IRC, you or I can just delete it and start anew. I got all the info from it saved, so it can be a simple copy>paste 19:45, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Ugh, sorry for that, being away from the wiki for so long has made me wiki retarded. Fixed and added in most of the info changes I saw. Just go back at it and be sure to edit with form. 20:19, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

• Thanks Truth, I have no idea what fucking happened honestly. All the coding seemed right. I'll just re-edit with the missing information LiquidSnake 21:45, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Can we archive this stuff

This page has so much stuff and is so long, can we just archive any of this yet like we did with the links up top (I believe those are archives, though I never did look at them)? A lot of it is pretty old and I'd prefer having a short, fresh, new page. 19:52, 24 September 2011 (EDT)

Animu

Which animu is in this picture File:Jia-junpeng-anime-560x315.jpg? VitsankMorris 01:42, 1 November 2011 (EDT)

• Pretty sure it's 'Shakugan no Shana.' But, I haven't seen it in a long time. So give me a couple hours (maybe a day) and I might be able to verify this. It's associated with the “Jia Junpeng, Your Mom Wants You To Go Home To Eat!” meme for some reason (assuming that's why you're asking). 19:15, 9 November 2011 (EST)
