Could I suggest a name change to "That Index With The Glasses"?

If I had a life, I'd be glad to get back to it... Hide / Show Replies

It's a fun name, but it might get it confused with a trope index about glasses in general.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I changed this page's type from 'Index' to 'Just For Fun' — the only practical effect of this is to prevent it from appearing on the bottom of the articles it lists, since it isn't really a proper index in that it doesn't really meaningfully describe the pages it lists (at least, not in a way that would be of interest to anyone who doesn't already follow That Guy With The Glasses.) Basically, it felt more like it was advertising That Guy With The Glasses than it was describing those articles in a useful fashion — there's nothing wrong with having the index here just for fun, but it shouldn't be plastered at the bottom of the work page for everything he ever discussed; if we did that for everyone who reviews or discusses works, the lists at the bottom would be hugely long and useless.

Here's a question, wouldn't the Mystery Science Index 3000 count as Just for Fun too?

Yes!

Anyone else think this should be called That Index With The Glasses?

Okay, why is it in chronological order now?

What order would you prefer?

See you in the discussion pages.

Alphabetical, where it's easier to read.

Why are the words "The Amazing Atheist" on this page at all? On tgwtg.com, he is "The Distressed Watcher" and nothing else. If we're going to be including You Tube names for the sake of completeness, we should append "reisu" for Linkara and so forth. And isn't that just silly?

mudshark: I don't expect Nate to make sense, really.

I know no-one's paying attention now, but if anyone does, would the likes of Linkara, Spoony and the Cinema Snob belong here, or have their own indexes?

I think, for the sake of sanity, they should have their own indexes.
