For the uninitiated... A contingent of tropers (mostly from across America) holds regular get-togethers over the Interwebs on this site called Synchtube
which lets individuals, such as ourselves, open and join in text-based chatrooms within typical web browsers (Firefox, Chrome, et. al.) that allow the chat participants to view YouTube videos in synchronization with everyone else present (without even needing to set up an account)... and we've decided to use said chatrooms to play cheeseball webvideos and feature-length movies found in the public domain which stretch all the way from letters B
to Z
, which everyone subsequently riffs on a la MST3K.
For over EIGHT years, everybody who gets involved mostly finds good enjoymentnote in calling out tropes that are recognized in the videos and stories and coming up with jokes to fling back at whatever's happening on the screen, many of which turn into various in-jokes and running gags (a Coven Glossary is kept and maintained for everyone's help and convenience HERE
) to repeat in the chat.
We're always looking for new ways to better coordinate and expand our activities and are more than happy to welcome newcomers interested in joining our gatherings.

We gotta keep trying to reach out to new blood. If PMing potential converts ain't working out, we try something else. Announce gatherings (and leave appropriate links) in the Troper Updates
thread, turn this thread
into a launchpad for conversations about our fondest memories here, shamelessly namedrop (and link) the Coven at every possible opportunity without any real rhyme or reason.
Just keep getting the word out.
Synchtube is down (big surprise) so just come here: http://35wmyy7sfhtl-35wmyy7sfhtl.watch2gether.com/
We can certainly give Synchtube another go. It's without a doubt the superior site, but of course there's the obvious issues.
I really hope the maker of the site follows through with setting up private servers. Though... I hope the assholes who plague the site don't find a way to fuck THAT up as well.
War is God.
Infuriatingly, Synchtube's creator has removed every mention of planning to open source from all blogs and Twitter. Perhaps this is an acknowledgement that the lack of code testing makes it far, far more difficult for other developers to make use of the coding or even modify it. Or maybe the creator is an idiot who constantly lets himself get distracted by the repeated DDoS attacks and never bothers to focus on opening source.
There is, however, one new interesting twist in the website's battle with the Internet Hate Machine—Synchtube's main page
is no longer showing public rooms.

Sorry I haven't been making it as much as I'd like - finals are this week, finish a week from yesterday.
