Dead Horse Interchange

Hey guys,

Since we have our own domain name again, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in relaunching the old Internet Nobody Database (INDB) wiki. Obviously, Poonoo would have to be on-board with the idea, since he owns the domain, but I figured it was a question worth asking since we are no longer at the mercy of the freeforums free speech gestapo. Personally, I always got a kick out of reading/writing the sperg on the old INDB.

Nah. It all turns into a mixture of edgy Cwcki shit. Unless we have a really good mod and article writer.

It's worth a shot. Larry will write most of it anyway.

As long as we moderate the FUCK out of posts and edits. If we do it again, my thought was to try for a sort of NPOV, but not entirely. Just mostly give facts. Be rude, sure, but try to avoid the PURE LEVELS OF SPERGE that dominated old INDB. I'll accept my share of the blame for that too. If we bring it back, it has to have less personal attachment. Because it shouldn't be a personal thing to point out how shit these e-celebs are.

My bare minimum suggestion would be no unregistered edits, no signing up without some kind of confirmation process (this would also keep the nobodies themselves from getting accounts) and links/citations provided for most claims. That last one could prove very troublesome as some of the information we know about on DHI is just gone (lost to the mists of time and the deaths of various video hosts/websites.)

Fuck citations.

Yeah I have been thinking about the possibility of us doing it long before we came here. And my concerns and how to do it are pretty much summed up in this post, and I would make sure only regulars here on DHI will be able to write articles, and I would be extremely fucking selective about that too. Because if you are not, as Rapeman said, it can turn into CWCki cancer or what the old DHI wiki became, an ED ripoff.

I don't want it to come across as a bunch of attack articles or read like our posts here, more like a formal exposé as you said with facts, like detailing Spoony scamming his patreons or examples of Boogie being manipulative. No sentences with shit saying "If this fat fucking lardass spent as much time walking as he did manipulating people, he might finally be able to see his shrivelled up pindick for the first time since age 13".

I would be way more strict with it than I am here on the forum.

I definitely agree that, if we make a second attempt at INDB, we should heavily moderate whoe writes the content. I'm definitely guilty of writing some of my old INDB edits like forum shitposts, but I feel like there was some quality effort and research put into some of the pages that made INDB worth wading through the shit sometimes. If we could just capture the essence of those better INDB pages, it might be worth doing.

Only regulars should get editing rights to it.
Not me, though. I'd shit it up when I'm drunk.

Yeah, the escapist pages revealing the rampant censorship of their and Spoony's forum are more in line with what it should be.

Isn't Encyclopedia Dramatica good enough?
