We need to do something about the massive amount of Trope Decay still prevalent in Literary Agent Hypothesis and pretty-much every single entry that links to it. (Note this is nolonger about renaming a trope, that ship was sunk tongue)

Why? It's an index for laughter tropes, not comedy tropes.

Isn't that a direct asosiation though?

No, it's a broader association, and a bad one to make. This Index Thinks Its Funny doesn't make me think of laughter; it makes me think of tropes that are supposed to be funny, or Comedy Tropes, as well call them.

Is Laughter Tropes not working properly or something?

Changing a clear and unambiguous name to an ambiguous and unclear snowclone just for the sake of the snowclone is frowned on.

And trying to shoehorn in two topics at once just does a disservice to both topics.

Well if we weren't at the mercy of a 500 post limit that is always at 500+ posts I would have made two, but fine no rename.

How about the second topic though?

Is it broken? If not, then the answer is, "No."

You're supposed to make two. It doesn't matter if there is a backlog. Just wait your turn.

Ok, fine, I'll do that next time, but can anyone help me sort out Literary Agent Hypothesis?

Well if you want to do it on this one, change the thread article link, and ask a mod to change the thread title.

0k, I'll do that, if I can work out how - this web design is as confusing as hell.
