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.

Just a side effect of the cloning process, don't worry. You'll soon embrace the transformation.
What? I didn't say anything. 
(I do love this weird ass narrative we're building though.)
But yeah back to the image issue, the good ones are on Fandom and Fandom uses WEPB so it makes getting good images way more obnoxious than it should be.

I'm the one who went out and got the Fidough vector so I think I deserve a bit of credit too.

Absolutely 
Unrelated, but I noticed that I tend to think certain tropes are a different age than they actually are. For tropes that I remember seeing launch from the TLP it's hard to wrap my head around them not being "brand new" anymore. I just had that moment with Realism-Induced Horror, which is over two years old. Like logically I know how old they are, but I still associate them with being "new launches".

CG for short
Yoko Oh No's title is kinda funny even if it's kinda rude (Like the Trope Namer was blamed for the breakup of the The Beatles even though they did try defending her by saying they're chill with her and that she had nothing to do with their breakup. She was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time).

Sounds good on paper (he/him)

Renaming was actually an option when we decided to make it IUEO and NRLEP, but the consensus was against renaming.
CG for short
Huh, interesting. I suppose no one could come up with a decent new name for it?
I'm helping!
The availability of alternatives is theoretically not supposed to factor into the decision of whether to rename.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

Eh, it did for Hot Gypsy Woman.

Why do they use webp instead of the standard jpeg/bmp/png, anyway? Adding another image format on top seems excessive.
EDIT: Does that make it Fidovid?

It's either real or it's a dream
I don't get it either! Especially since so much software still isn't compatible with it.
there's always a relevant xkcd
i rewrote the description for today's featured trope, God-Karting with Beelzebub, because it was stubby, so now my words are on the front page of the site, which feels kind of strange.
CG for short
Before that, it was so stubby that I could see an example of it on the main page. Also is that allowed, since I heard you aren't supposed to mingle with trope descriptions unless you got permission?

Damn avvies, I legit mistook Chloe for WarJay when I read her post about expanding upon that trope's description.

I have unleashed a monster.

Eh don't worry about it, we all unleash a monster or five every now and again

Some call it stalking, I say walking just extremely close behind

RE: Standards, that xkcd comic is also perfect for those who try to make "universal" languages anyone can speak (like Esperanto, the Universal Language). Nice idea, but it's hard for everyone to adopt it as a second language.

There's already a universal language: music.
I like to keep my audience riveted.

Which works cuz you have a smaller Fidough. It's the lowercase Fidough!

Damn, it's only been a couple of days IIRC and there's already a video example of Screwed by the Network based around Infinity Train.
