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 ban/suspension 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.

Indeed, I thought that was what we were talking about. "Real facts" doesn't sound like a forum game, more like a Yack Fest topic.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Hence why I was confused, lol. Two games exist: Real facts and fake facts. But for a while I assumed the "Did You Know?" thread and the "Recently learned" thread were the same thing.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallBut we have this thread
already. That's why I was so confused.
The "game" part is that you've gotta say if you knew the fact the previous person posted already before posting your own fact.
Read Pokemon Ultimate EmeraldWell we have multiple as a question games so maybe the fact thread isn't that out of place. The Things you didn't know until recently thread is more for personal observations.
At the very least the game fits in FG more than the Cuddlepile and the Pantheon thread does.

Macron's notesI think the fake facts game works in Forum Games because it's a game for coming up with fake facts. The "Things you didn't know until recently" thread is Yack Fest material and not a game because it's for stating personal anecdotes.

I got a rock for Halloween.Things You Didn't Know Until Recently is also for facts you learned recently, whereas in Did You Know... I can share whatever interesting facts I happen to already know. :P
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOWell, if something someone "learned" recently turns out to be made up, then c'est la vie.
I got a rock for Halloween.Observation: I feel like every time I say that we've had a productive month in TRS, we end up having an even more productive month. Just look at the Changelog section of the Trope Report Dummy Edition.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper Wall
Given it hasn't had a new episode since February, I wonder if perhaps "had" is a more accurate term than "have".
I brought up both podcasts on the home page up a few weeks ago because I never hear anyone talk about them and I never bothered listening to them myself.
On the Rocks still uploads regularly but On the Tropes doesn't.

Macron's notesSpeaking of "TVT content", the state of the Echo Chamber page makes me sad. (I swore I cleaned it once, but I guess that was Twisted Tropes, an equally sad page.)

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallThe tropes that show up most often in the TV Tropes Association Game are a good indication of what genres and media the wiki pays the most attention to.
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOI'm becoming allergic to people using curly brackets for multi-word wikiword without modifying anything, beside adding pointless space and wasting my time during wick cleaning.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupSometimes people will pothole a trope name to itself. That drives me up the wall.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI have seen multiple people do the curly brace thing and space out every single entry on the work's trope list. I don't get it at all.
Macron's notesThere’s also annoyingly many forumgoers who do multi-word curlybrace potholing without even spacing. There’s also people who still, in 2022, refuse to properly include namespaces when potholing to a work.
