Discuss TV Tropes itself, such as observations you've made about the site/forum/wiki.
NOTE: Keep it civil; try not to get into any Flame Bait-y territory, per the forum rules
(in particular, drama importation and popcorn posting are not allowed, and this thread is for discussion about the site and not the users). In addition, while discussing the Edit Banned thread is not prohibited on its own, discussing and/or alluding to specific cases is not permitted.
One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

Ask The Tropers is usually for things which don't require much of an answer - or needs a quick look over from a mod. TRS is mostly for stuff which has chronic issues, and the discussion page is for something which doesn't need to go too far beyond that one page, because it can usually be sorted with another user there.

"Did you expect somebody else?"
Looking at it was what I was doing. I got the impression from it that most of the topics would fit under those parts of the wiki as well.
Sorry I don't know each and every little thing about the wiki.
That(Trope Repair Shop)'s for repairing tropes, not for adding examples.
If almost every example of a trope is used wrong, making a TRS to see if the definition in itself needs looking at makes sense.
But if people are simply just putting up wrong examples once in a while, then you use ATT.
Well, since the trope for regular research failure has been axed, I dunno what you want people to do about that.
It's one thing to make a spectacle. It's another to make a difference.
"Just as planned."
Use one of the Artistic License tropes, or something under Consistency?

"Did you expect somebody else?"
The difference between Ask The Tropers and Trope Repair Shop is that the former isn't always over capacity.

People on the media forums seem to like starting topics asking "Would you like to see X come back?" when everyone knows that the answer is always going to be a resounding yes.

Still just awesome like that
"Would you like to see smallpox come back?"

Yes. /troll

Well, of course!
Still just awesome like that
I just realized, it kind of bothers me that the "Tropers/" icon is of a fedora. Seems to just reinforce nerd stereotypes there.

Or the hipster stereotype.
Or something.

Maybe both.

I warned against using a fedora icon several months ago because of how the hats are seen online but nope

Petition to change it to a ten-gallon hat.

I'll be honest, I don't go on troper pages enough to have noticed it by now, so this more or less went undetected by me. It kind of...yeah. Just gives people more ammo.
I propose we change it to Abraham Lincoln's severed head.

Lots of people are leaving with very little explanation.
What is going on?

People are getting tired of the goings-on. I guess it just managed to happen at similar times for a bunch of people.

Well, this saddens me.
A lot of my favorite tropers are just.... gone.

I know, it stinks. It's just like what happened in Arcane Destiny. :( ![[tdown]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_down_emoticon_3571.png "[thumb down]"){kind=small}
Music fitting my mood right now.

x3 I've been here for five going on six years, you get used to it after a while.
Just look at it and read through some of it and I'm sure you can glean from that what its purpose is: Ask The Tropers
