Talk:Frienditto

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Jump to: navigation, search

No matter what I search for on Frienditto, it sez

There are no entries in the database that matched your search.

even if I search for "debate" which I KNOW is in the database! Hwhat gives.

  • the search feature seems to only search in descriptions, not in titles or for usernames. Apparently no one who FD'ed the debate entries wrote good descriptions, but if you search for "pagegirl" (sic) you'll get a debate entry. Slutbucket 15:03, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • thx. someone should fix that tho. --Q\DAN 15:55, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • We're still in beta. Yes, it only searches the descriptions that people put in themselves. We will eventually have searching for the entire site, but it will take a while. --girlvinyl 20:53, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

how the hell do you pronounce "frienditto?" --Killhamster 05:34, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Good question. It could be "Friend It To", it could be "Friend-Ditto", or it could sorta rhyme with "bandito". I like the ambiguity, but I prefer the last one.--hardvice 09:33, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • I use the bandito version because I can sing it like a catchy jingle --BiGPimpin 16:59, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Do you think if "rm" tries hard enough, she'll become the AntiFrienditto? Consider this where she first proves that she's batshit crazy, and then her constant squahonking at Ditto_Cops.

Updates

Are there any plans to allow updating of Frienditto pages? It would be fuckass difficult to implement due largely to the ability to wipe everything off the face of the planet, but currently the archiving of lulz threads is more akin to painting than writing - that is, it's almost a matter of artistic instinct to know that the shark has been jumped but the thread hasn't been deleted yet. Since Frienditto currently disallows duplication of threads this means that either you let it sit around and hope you grab it before it's deleted, or you archive and then discover somebody said something incredibly funny after you did so.

Also: I am exceptionally bored all the time and am obsessive-compulsive about information. I will willingly add descriptions to posts that do not have any. --Ghostlight 21:04, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • editting the Frienditto entries would be a remedial task, but I would imagine that it would have to be excluded to the person who made the entry, which depending on the original archive structure could be a pain to fix (or easy as long as one was willing to exclude all the entries up to the point of upgrade). Of course, the ability to replace the entry with a newer version would be an attractive paid feature.
    • Or, at least, the ability to add duplicate entries and delete entries from your own account. [PS: FRIENDITTO IS SO EXPENSIVE] --Ghostlight 05:39, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • depending on the foundation it would be more annoying for me make sure it didn't override old data. Am I miss something? I thought you could set up an account on frienditto. Upon further review, I must be confused. --BiGPimpin 06:25, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • Last I checked you could if you donated. --Ghostlight 07:35, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

so what was that thing counting down to? it's gone all retarded now. --kh/ what 16:20, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • It counted down to April Fool's day [at least on my timezone]. -- & Ghostlight 00:38, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • It counted down to April Fools Day, then nothing happened except that it started counting up. It has now become the most pointless site on the Internets. To think that someone's actually paying for that! Could they dump frienditto.com and buy me a bicycle instead? I'd really like a bicycle... --Aussieintn 01:44, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • I don't know, does it beat a poem? -- & Ghostlight 01:56, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
        • It does not beat a poem. I want a bicycle! --Aussieintn 05:19, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

sordid history

Can someone fill in some more of the details? I need more timeline stuff like the birth of ditto_cops, that crazy "author" chick posting about her "work" being "stolen" and then of course the rfjason / jameth hoax. We'll also need a copy of hep's legendary "drama yacht" post and any of the other dramacrat's posts about it would be awesome. I'd also like to make sure that it gets mentioned how all of the people who were most upset about it the people who are totally boring and no one would give a shit about them anyway. --girlvinyl 21:56, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

404

Everything on frienditto has been 404 since last I checked. Did they move or is this the end of an era?

  • it's pretty much the end. thank lj_abuse. --kh/ what 01:38, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
    • Yeah, now when you go there, you see the same logo, but it's a shitty search engine. ~User:Toasterkitten
