Ezra Hub
Ezra Hub, formerly known as Cornell Hub before university staff got pissy, is an imageboard created by William Manning Najar. The sole purpose of the site is for Conellians to stalk women at Cornell University and whine about how civil liberty groups are destroying their parents' business. William himself claims that the site gets 50,000 views daily, which would be a nice thing to brag about had it not been for the fact that Ezra Hub has only 12 posters.
In late 2011, William decided it would be a good idea to piss off savetheinternet. Failing to realize that not even ED was safe from STI's wrath, William experienced a massive backlash when savetheinternet decided to return the favour in the form of unwanted attention. Being the fine Americunts William is, he threatens anyone who outs him as a filthy ball of greed with lawsuits, because that will stop 'em.

This person has Assburgers Syndrome, so you can't say anything bad! :-( Be aware of that, you insensitive fuck. |
William is a fine man in his early 20s. He is known for writing himself into ED articles, being a shitty web developer, ignoring trademark and copyright laws and being able to give it, but not take it. As such, trolling William is extremely easy to do. Methods include:
- Pointing out that Ezra Hub is violating Tinyboard's licence.
- Posting the video William made of him and his girlfriend. This video was uploaded to YouTube as a private video, but leaked because William was smart enough to create a page for it on Cornell Hub and put the URL to it in robots.txt. William is a prime example of people who put things online and regret it later. As with everything William "creates", the video contained plagiarism and was taken down by YouTube police due to its stolen background music.
- Pointing out that William is a white supremacist who keeps a Confederate flag in his dorm room.
Hypocrisy
Being the hypocrite he is, William posted an unflattering description about savetheinternet in the Memes section of Cornell Hub at least 100 years ago. It has since been removed, but a shady scraper site which collects random info about people has a copy:
- savetheinternet or Michael G Foster
- The (unfortunately) creator of Tinyboard and founder of racist and anti-semitic website 4chon.net. Michael has made it his continued goal to take down Cornell Hub as part of his racist crusade. Michael can be reached at: 58.175.28.253, 2001:470:27:9de:0:0:0:2, and 2001:1af8:4400:a03e:1:0:0:6, [email protected], +61434846131, datnode.net IRC channel #tinyboard, (03)-6223-7982 or by mail at 14 King St Sandy Bay 7005 TAS. Michael notably used his IRC network users on datnode.net as a botnet to spam Cornell Hub with thousands of images, wiping legitimate posts off the end of the board. Michael created a fake identity which he hides behind named "Michael Horowitz" complete with a fake girlfriend named "fem," operates a fraudulent web hosting business called Shotgun Hosts and has a criminal record. Michael acts mostly in the pursuit of attention and hails from Cranbourne, Australia. Michael is also known for being DDoSed by Ryan (of LulzSec, who was arrested for unrelated incidents) and being kicked off of the DreamHost hosting service. Michael is unstable and is an unfortunate presence on the internet and also an avid bitcoin user

After discovering this very article, William preceeded to join Encyclopedia Dramatica:IRC and whine about having personal information posted about him. Despite having outed STI in a similar manner, he claimed that this very section, which only contains a name, was grounds for legal action.

savetheinternet
savetheinternet was readily accepted into the Ezra Hub team, bringing with him his Tinyboard expertise and a badly recolored Kimmo Johan Alm photo. While Will subsequently removed the photo from his staff page for looking like a serial killer, he never formally removed him from the Ezra Hub Team.

Memes
William Manning Najar meticulously saves and catalogues every slightly funny joke written on Ezra Hub, complete with explanations. He then labels these jokes as "memes" and puts them up on a separate page, similar to faggots creating unfunny comics and putting them on 9fag.
Conflicts
The Ezra Hub team just don't get along with people:
Cornell University
In May 2012, William decided to hack the university's email system and send an email to all undergrad students whining about the student time table. The staff got wind of this and threatened Cornell Hub with legal action. This resulted in the site changing name from Cornell Hub to Ezra Hub.
4chon.net
StopNerds.org
To warn about Linux users and Minecraft players being mentally ill, savetheinternet made a website, StopNerds.org, to inform people about the disease and spread awareness. William, mad at savetheinternet for being a "copyright troll" and sending C&D letters to William's house, decided to steal a slideshow from StopNerds.org and turn it into a horrible abortion called "StopEngineers".
Needless to say, this didn't fit well with savetheinternet who had paid $5 to a professional graphics artist for the character designs and spent a whole 30 minutes writing the slides. This led to William being featured on the front page of StopNerds.org, as well as the creation of william-najar.blogspot.com, which supposedly made William file a police report for harassment. After this, William decided to hide the evidence of copyright infringement by replacing StopEngineers with this page:
- Your IP address and other information has been logged in connection to a criminal harassment investigation.
- If you are coming to this page from somewhere else and not related, please disregard this information.
More recently, William has denied association with Ezra Hub, claiming that he left the site before the name change. This implies that another staff member created StopEngineers, which is untrue since no other staff member has dealt with STI personally. Reportedly they were all scared shitless by STI's trolling, which gives even less reason to believe that they would have done anything to piss him off.
