The articles go in the wiki, the trope proposals go in YKTTW, everything is nice, clean and natter-free. However, there's a problem: You liked natter, you enjoy discussing tropes and works with your fellow tropers, you love adding witty snark to the nearest Twilight or Eragon example... Worry not! for there is a place where you can do all this and much, much more: The Forum.
So... What's with this "forum" we keep talking about? Well, for starters, it allows a more fluid conversation between tropers, avoiding Conversation On The Main Page (or on the YMMV tab, for that matter — just because every trope there is subjective does not mean that conversation and debate is encouraged there, either.). It also covers a broad spectrum of topics, meaning you can talk about pretty much anything you like. The forum is not, however, completely isolated from the wiki: as of recent, it has taken a vital role in the administration of the site; trope renames, reworkings, and general wiki policies are all discussed in it. But enough gushing, let's have a quick overview:
Subforums:Wiki & Forums:Trope Talk Here we discuss everything regarding tropes: are they good? bad? how to apply them? which are your favourite? and many more trope related discussions. Sandbox For all your forum testing needs. Tech Wishlist Think the wiki or the forum could use some extra feature? Add your suggestions/requests here. Wiki Talk Anything wiki related, be it annoying edit wars, or discussion about policies for examples, tropes, natter, etc. Translations Join the multi-language TV Tropes project! The title is pretty self explanatory. Trope Repair Shop This is where trope renames, merges and splits are proposed, discussed, voted on, and decided. Since it deals with topics regarding the wiki, it is more serious than the rest of the forum, and off-topic posting is highly discouraged. Image Pickin' See a page without an image, or with an image that doesn't explain the trope very well? Go here to help choose a good picture. Special Efforts A place to start large-scale wiki projects, requiring the aid of many editors. Discussions of changes to multiple articles or whole namespaces go here. Just for Fun:Yack Fest This subforum is for random conversation and general discussion, because every forum needs one of those. Threads tend to go off-topic very frequently, and it is also the most "community-oriented" subforum, perfect for newbies. Forum Games Run-of-the-mill forum games... with a troperiffic twist. Wild Mass Guessing Want to share your zany Epileptic Trees? That's what the WMG tab on your favorite work's TV Tropes page is there for, but you may also want to see whether other tropers agree with your theory. It Just Awes Me! A place for gushing, added after much demand. Live Bloginations Document your experience as you watch/play/read a new series! This board has been archived, but has been succeeded by a new section of the site, Live Blogginations .
Troper Covens Get-togethers, collaborative writings, and other arcane majicks being brewed up to amuse and amaze an unsuspecting world. Old Folks' Home The old farts sitting around on the porch talking while the kids play tag and chase the dog and have squirt gun fights in the yard. If the kids want to come over and join the conversation, the adults won't chase them away, but they are expected to be calm and behave. TV Tropes The TV Show A place to discuss and develop the latest production of the TV Tropes team. This board has been archived. Zone: Forum RPGRole Playing This is where you go for ongoing play-by-post games with your fellow tropers! Role Playing Signups If you wanna start a new roleplay, go here to get people to sign up. Role Playing Discussion This is for OOC chat about the roleplays. Real-ishOn-Topic Conversation The place for Serious Business. Discussions here cover several topics, unlike the rest of the forum (and as its name suggests), all posts in this section must be related to the conversation at hand.

General Behaviour: The forum is generally easygoing. The tropers posting there are usually polite and friendly, and they probably won't give you any trouble. Conversations on any subforums other than "On-Topic Conversations", "Image Pickin' " and "Trope Repair Shop" tend to switch topics both quickly and frequently, so it's a good idea to read at least the last page of any thread to know what's going on right now. This is not /b/, so please refrain from making offensive, badly spelled and completely random posts. There is no hierarchy in the forum, no postcount nor join date, and everybody owes everybody the same amount of respect. A short list of rules may be found here .
No NSFW links in threads without warning people. This includes sites that have NSFW content and/or ads.
There are moderators, who want nothing more than to have nothing to do except chat like everybody else. However, they can and will delete or edit offensive or insulting posts, lock threads that have turned ugly, issue warnings and for unacceptable behavior. and they can forum-ban for repeated or excessive unpleasantness.
They're listed on the Know the Staff page, and you can PM any of them with requests for intervention if you feel it's necessary. At the top of each post is a yellow triangle icon, This is the Holler button; it sends a post to a mods-only thread. Use it to report posts that break the rules; to ask for a crowner to be hooked or unhooked, or for a thread to be locked; or to ask for a mod to take a look at something in the forums on an official basis. Since all of the mods can see a post in the Hollers thread, the response will generally be faster than PM'ing a particular mod and hoping that they're online.
