It went live July 9th, [[2009]] after the discovery of a [[1337]] forumfag named [[User:Kazantzakis|Dan]] (a refugee from [[Stile Project]]'s forums) amongst the ranks of ED's multi-talented [[ED:ADR|Sysop]] crew. The forums were a [[green]] company, powered entirely by pure, unadulterated [[lulz]]. | |||
EDF was [[free]] of charge and welcomed one and all regardless of [[btard|race]], [[furfag|breed]] or [[white|color]]. However, all the really [[faggot|cool kids]] hung out in the super secret '''[[jew gold|Paid Members Only]]''' forums where they could [[flame|trade barbs]] on a variety of boards and get [[ODB]] dong pix in exchange for information, which leadto a reliable Opium dealer. | |||

The | The ED discussion boards had undergone several incarnations regarding the overall look of the site. Pretty much every layout had been retardedly put together by [[Dan]] because he felt like he was a master of graphics design. Other themes had been shamelessly stolen off of torrent sites, but since nobody had a current working theme for the forum's software version, all of these ill-gotten themes failed miserably. The last-used theme, one of complete madness, bore a striking resemblance to either a [[Star Trek]] forum, where all the users snort airplane glue, or a shitty [[Geocities]] site, circa 1997. The only thing missing from this abomination was cursor chasers that looked like sparkly comets. | ||
This failure of design | This failure of design would continue until EDF1 was completely wiped with the destruction of the original website. Dan went completely blind and couldn't make edits to the forum's templates, or when somebody bought the forum a custom theme. Since purchasing a custom theme can cost a administrator several hundreds of dollars, that option seemed to be off the table, pending a lottery win by the forums owner. | ||
Until the very end, the users kept suffering... | |||

Think [[MST3K]] but without the wit or funniness. It's pretty sad, really. | ||
