Is OhInternet a recreation of Encyclopedia Dramatica To tangent from the above topics Oh Internet is not Encyopedia Dramatica as the article supposes Encyclopedia Dramatica is defined as the domain name and the intellectual property concerned with ED copyright OhInternet however is a different project entirely notable differences a new XML coding system logo and form of satire To use terms in the article the site was not overhauled but rather replaced To use Silverseren s analogy if Wikipedia did rename itself kept most of its higher administration and stopped using Wikimedia software would it still be Wikipedia The answer is No The Wikipedia name and intellectual property becomes inactive lost If one were to charge a Wikipedia fork site with copyright violations they would have to give evidence of their ownership of Wikipedia copyright and not that of the new OhKnowledge com the hypothetical Wikipedia replacement Sherrod however does have evidence so don t take this as a justification for the ch Once a site loses connection with the old name or any registered associated material it ceases to be the same entity Oh Internet has no parallels to the old site at all The position that the new site is ED just cleaned should be removed from the article immediately Encyclopedia Dramatica as defined is dead OhInternet is a whole new project a de facto successor but not ED The redirect was an attempt to maintain website hits but as many 3rd party websites will show it didn t quite work out The vast majority of the volunteer editors did leave Site activity growth and edit numbers are much higher at encyopediadramaticia ch than at OhInternet OhInternet s declining popularity should first stabilize before any notability assessment goes underway Understandably the nature of ED ch is illegal so I don t care for it immediate coverage I like to think the site will cool down over time 94 170 94 249
