With the area of the site dedicated to creating and discussing these insane theories long since removed, the RWP currently exisis as a site for ''all'' games, though it mostly focuses on Creator/{{Nintendo}} and Creator/MicrosoftStudios, Rare's former and present homes. It hosts an active forum where members are free to discuss anything [[RunningGag from the Queen's head to the taste of mild cheddar]]. It boasts a small but dedicated population of [[{{Troper}} Tropers]], too.

[[http://therwp.com/ The RWP]] (short for the "Rare Witch Project") was launched in 2001 by netizens / über haxxorz Ice Mario and [=SubDrag=] and is an Internet site dedicated to {{video games}}, specifically {{Rare}} games, and a repository for their {{fandom}}. The site attained a bit of fame in its early days when its founders found a way to get [[UrbanLegendOfZelda a number of secret, apparently unreachable items]] in the game ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' without hacking. These items were meant to be used in a special feature called "Stop & Swop" that was ultimately {{dummied out}} of the game, rendering them worthless. In no way did this curb the [[EpilepticTrees flow of insane theories about them]] that flooded the site for years.

Added DiffLines:

* TheJuggernaut:Former member Lamentofgrunty. He is said to be the most persistent and worst spammer to ever join the forums not even SSDZelda came close to his level. A spammer of the vBulletin era who was nigh unstoppable, to the point where even Grey Jinjo famous ban hammer (ip ban) was rendered ineffective as his use of proxies negated this effect. He used an unprecedented amount of sock puppets. Gold Jinjo stated that the only method capable of stopping Lamentofgrunty was completely shutting off registration to the forums itself. Though lamentofgrunty fell victim to the greatest April Fool's prank in RWP history. The banned list "Grunty's rejects" is named after him.

The site currently has an "Awards" system, which is this trope exactly.

!! This website provides examples of:

* CloudCuckoolander: A lot of members, actually.
* CosmeticAward: For a long time the site had a "reputation" system, but it was abused repeatedly and became the "Mine's Bigger" argument every time it was discussed, causing {{Flame War}}s and ultimately leading to its removal[[hottip:*:Recently due to popular demand, however, the reputation system was reinstated]]. The site currently has an "Awards" system, which is this trope exactly.
* FaceHeelTurn - Occasionally a random member of the site will gain the ire of everyone else, usually without explanation.
* {{Fanboy}}/{{Fangirl}}: For a long time, the site had an "Other Games" forum for things other than Nintendo and the Xbox 360, which mentioned it was for "you misguided [[PlayStation3 PS3]] fans."
* FlameWar: If you say anything positive about the Xbox Kinect, mention so there at your own peril. Although anything in general can ignite one.
* HoYay / LesYay - Stay on the site for a good 5 minutes. You'll see it.
* JerkAss - Some of the longtime users end up this way due to SmallNameBigEgo (see below).
** Forum user "Pinkbull" is officially referred to by the site as a whole as the "RWP Jerk."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The admin Grey Jinjo.
* LongDistanceRelationship - Quite a few lovers have met over the RWP.
** Which becomes very bizarre when you realize that many of said "lovers" are ''under 18 years old'' (on both sides of the alleged "relationship"). Also when you realize that many have still never met face-to-face after beginning a "relationship."
*** Members "Ice Mario" and "Mandy" respectively have gone on to have successful relationships IRL; Much to the amazement of the rest of the community.
** Members "Mandolin" and "CarthagoDelenda", even though they did not meet on the RWP.
* NewEraSpeech - "We are the RWP. If people want to refer to us as the rare witch project for old times sake, then that's up to them." ~Ice Mario, site co-founder
* PodCast - Dubbed the ''Rare Witch Roundtable''. Originally a podcast between the site's administrators/moderators, but recently, the podcast has been open to a select few guest members.
** Before that, there was a small podcast made by four members that were all friends. The moment the first episode of this podcast came out, the official one was announced.
** But before ''that'', an old forum member named 'dmoss' hosted his own unofficial RWP Podcast. This became a trend, and soon other members started making podcasts as well before the admins/mods declared their own official podcast.
*** If this troper recalls correctly Kablamooie had a podcast before that or around the same time.
* PunBasedTitle - The '''Rare''' Witch Project. [[TheBlairWitchProject Sound familiar?]]
** Also, as of a few years ago, the sites logo is a {{visual pun}} based on the films logo.
* RunningGag - The 'Almost Anything Goes' forum las long been described as a place for discussion about anything "from the Queen's head to the taste of mild cheddar."
** Every now and then, an often new member feels the need to create a topic regarding mild cheddar. Recently, the topic description has been changed to "mild chowder."
* SamusIsAGirl / ThereAreNoGirlsOnTheInternet - Just about every female member on the site. It usually takes up to them posting in the Face To The Name thread before most realize.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Tanjo
** Also, the site itself, for making it's own page here despite having about 20 active members and being entirely irrelevant.
* TournamentArc - Random Member competitions will occasionally pop up, where members are pitted against each other and everyone votes for who they think the better poster is.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse - Members, especially new ones, will often disappear without explanation, moreso than on other similar sites.
