I would assume you could just link to interesting or relevant articles when discussing things on other forums and blogs.
Dude, feels like the first time I've managed to do that. I've been ninja'ed lots of times lately.
Well, the ace of spades is generally the highest card in the deck. I was trumped.
I am now known as Flyboy.Don't force it on people. You definitely don't want to become "that guy" that brings up TV Tropes all the time. I've met people like that and they're not fun to be around.
I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -WanderlustwarriorDon't gush. Seriously, gushing at someone is one of the most reliable ways to utterly destroy a potential fans interest.

Thats pretty much how I ended up here.
The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.I joined this site because it's based on trivia, which I happened to be adept in, so I thought it's fitting.
Maybe you can have other trivia-inclined persons to give it a shot.
Now using Trivialis handle.Please don't confuse Trivia with Trope.

Fight smart, not fair.Whatever the reason, it's clearly not the main draw of the site. Nor is media theory the main appeal, although it's what initially attracted me to this place.

I feel this site needs more love and recognition. How can I convince people to become tropers and join the tv tropes hive mind so it can expand in power?
