:.gay is the current official domain and hosts both the Encyclopedia Dramatica Forums and the wiki. .win is an unauthorized copy of the site that was made by a disgruntled former wiki sysop. The .win site doesn't even have a forum because the guy who runs it never even had a copy of the forum database (although he tried to beg the owner of .gay for the database). |

:.rs went down in early 2020, which is when Jacob Stellmach brought online .wiki, with the support of the ED staff. For most of 2020, .wiki was the sole host of ED and Wayback can validate this. However, the website went offline frequently and was scarcely functional. So, most of the ED staff separated from .wiki and created .online. Stellmach opposed this and repeatedly insisted that we remove any mentions of .online, which we refused, as we recognized both as hosting the IP. We kept things that way until about a month-and-a-half after .wiki permanently went down. At the start of September, we removed listing .wiki as a current host, as it was clear the status quo wasn't - and hasn't - shifted. That being said, .wiki was at one point the exclusive host of ED, so it wouldn't be factual to remove mentions of it. ''']'''<sub> (]•])</sub> 01:15, 11 October 2021 (UTC) |

::It's hard to keep up with this, but at the time of writing, .gay is completely offline, while .win has a page saying "It's over - for now... Due to reasons that shall not be disclosed I will not be able to run encyclopediadramatica.win anymore - at least all on my own." This means that edramatica.com is the only working version at the moment, and thankfully we no longer have to listen to arguments about whether .win or .gay is the better version, because both of them are unavailable now.--'''''] <sup>]</sup>''''' 16:15, 27 September 2024 (UTC) |
