Convenience hop:Inbound Links
6 August 2008: There's been a little game on 4chan's /co/ involving tvtropes. Given that threads in 4chan die quickly, here  ◊'s an image of what happened. No worries, it's perfectly worksafe.
10 July 2008: A conservative columnist awaits the Obama campaign Jumping The Shark, with a high reliance in the article on other Troper-ese. link
Silent Hunter: Anything legal that gets us more traffic, I guess... provided it doesn't cause flame wars.
24 June 2008: We're getting a bunch of scattered hits from various livejournals, as the result of this fanfic challenge.
13 June 2008: Toon Zone decided to link to Earth Shattering Kaboom for the last example in their top 5 Takedowns. They even apologized for it really being a Planet X Shattering Kaboom. How thoughtful!
3 June 2008: Why, I wondered, was Tanz Der Vampire, an Austrian musical (a bit outside our usual range of popularity), tenth on the Big Hitters list? Almost certainly because it's fourth for "vampire" on Google Images search. More impressively, the picture has only been up for around half the lifetime of the list. 2 JUN 08: Or, possibly, coolest link of the day: This forum .
21 May 2008: Some dude on a Spanish Pokemon forum posted something like half the damn index up in a thread. I don't speak spanish so I can't read what they're saying, but the sheer amount of time that must have taken is praiseworthy ina dn of itself. 18 May 2008: Evidently, some people live like this .
14 May 2008: Looney Toons: In re the 29 March entry below, our entry over at That Other Wiki is up for deletion. Apparently, they don't like our supporting citations.
14 May 2008: Some of the Google search strings are slightly worrying. Especially for Brother Sister Incest and two directly related to the latest entry to Sexy Schoolwoman. Tanto: I refer you to the August 20th discussion... Looney Toons: And now there are no Google entries at all in the Inbound Links...? Fast Eddie: Recently changed so that the default is "hide searches". Press the button to show them. 12 May 2008: Well, of course the New York Times uses us for definitions.
Looney Toons: Hurrah for the Old Grey Lady!
11 May 2008: People searching for Warhammer 40000 porn on Google are getting linked  ◊ here.
8 May 2008: The homepage has finally re-overtaken Videogame Tropes on the Big Hitters list. Huzzahs are in order! 4 May 2008: Some people on the Giant in the Playground forums (where this site is fairly well known) are actually using the Trope Pantheons page to make a trope-based RPG. Awesome. Sikon: Indeed. Rogue 7: I was slanted to play in that game (It's actually a homebrew using tropes for mechanics), but some real life issues for the DM came up, apparently, and the game's pretty much dead right now. I'll report back if it sparks up again. And incidentally, Giant In the Playground was how I found this site (and I'm pretty sure that's true for a lot of people) Shay Guy: Uh...linkage plz? Rogue 7: And There you go. It never really got off the ground much, but please report back any results.
29 March 2008: The Other Wiki has apparently found us notable enough to list us . At least two tropers find this ironic. A request has been for anybody who can to help out.
13 February 2008: Some guy is using us to mock game developer Rareware at one of their online Q&A sessions . While I'll certainly concede that Rare deserves any and all mocking they receive, still...
19 January 2008: John C. Wright , famed eccentric SF/fantasy author and evangelican Christian, goes on at length about why Crystal Dragon Jesus Just Bugs Him.
Medinoc: How come the Medieval European Fantasy thumbail features an ad about "Free lethal injections" ? O_o
19 December 2007: Stm177: The Corner -- the conservative group political blog of the US magazine National Review
Fast Eddie: Hah! I was just coming here to note that! Of all the MSM-attached blogs in the world, you had to come in from that this one.
19 October 2007: Sikon: Irregular Webcomic !
Silent Hunter: Not that weird, considering we reference them here.
20-AUG-07:Seth:Is anyone else worried we get more hits for Brother Sister Incest and Lolicon off google than almost anything else? Fast Eddie: Used to be. Analyzed it and saw that the host-addresses that come in on those searches take one look and head off. The subject matter is dealt with here in ways that are not interesting to pervs. Shale: Still, the sheer number of people who search for that, especially relative to every other topic addressed on the site, is rather depressing. Stupid Internet. Travis Wells: It's not that surprising. I run a link search site and an image macro site and "loli" or "lolicon" is always in the top referrals and search query lists. For the linksearch it make sense, but for the image macro it's a bit weirder. Why do they want pictures which are mainly making fun of them?
Khym Chanur: Well, you also have to consider what rank the wiki gets for certain search terms: if it gets a low ranking, then not that many of the people searching for that term will go through enough pages of search results to get to our listing, but if it gets a high ranking then a very large percentage of the people who search for that term will click through to the wiki. For example, the term "lolicon" just by itslef ranks the wiki's Lolicon page as #31 at Google, but Magical Girl isn't in the first 270 hits for Google, so anyone interested in lolicon will check out our page, but people interested in magical girls will have had their fill of magical girl pages before they find us. Also, we come in #29 for the phrase "brother sister incest", #5 for the word combination "incest brother" and #1 for "incest tv" (though only #151 for "incest sister", and that's the discussion page).
(Oh, and the latest lolicon search hit from google was me, while I was gathering statistics)
1-DEC-06: Anybody have any idea what Matrim is saying about us here ?
Tulling: The language appears to be bulgarian. клишета would be cliche and забавен is similar to a russian (I studied the language) word for funny or entertaining. It seems he finds reading about anime tropes entertaining. Using an online dictionary it seems like he says it also contains that which you find everywhere like Dramatic Wind and that (ie those tropes) which you do not often see. At least, that is my educated guess.
Gus: Thanks, Tulling. Okay. He likes us. He gets to live.
Susan Davis: If it's the same Matrim that I'm thinking of (the link seems to hang for me), she's a she, not a he. I did post a couple of links to here on a forum where the Matrim that I know hangs out.
19-May-06: Not really a "weirdest" entry. The following links are way off the norm for sheer numbers of inbound hits:
30 Jan: We are still getting major hits from this guy . Evidentally he is some kind of Finnish Web-hero.
28 Jan 06 winner . (search page for "tricked-out", click "anime") This puppy has sent 20K+ hits to the wiki and counting.
