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.

Or people who leave acronyms without checking if they got redlinked, like MI6
.
And there's the people who don't put in curly braces around tropes and works with single-word titles.
SING TO ME, LEND ME THE SONG OF BLASPHEMYOr worse, bluelinked, with automatic punctuation.

Most of the threads exist for me?
Anyways, the stale report lists all open TRS and IP threads (including threads that were moved to other subforums like the projects forums) and calculates how many days they were open.
EDIT:
The stale report can be found in the options drop down menu of every IP/TRS thread.

Macron's notesI wonder if people remember that misuse should be cross-unwicked as well.

Oh, the threads.
Yeah, I never use that option button
I try to remember, though I also always assume that if someone is too lazy to make sure they're using the trope correctly, they're also probably too lazy to crosswick.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI was looking through my launched tropes (the ones I created from scratch at least) and found that the one with the most wicks at the minute is Mechanical Animals at 102. I'm now curious to know what it is for the other tropers.

Hates Their Parent is at over 500 wicks, which is absolutely wild. My two other highest wick counts are much lower (comparatively). with Bully Turned Buddy at 280 and Elemental Motifs at 274.
My worst performing one? Excluding my newest, three of them are tied at 26 wicks.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallFor me, it's Boyish Short Hair at 2222 wicks. That's not a surprise since it's a common appearance trope (and gets misused a lot🙃)
Macron's notesBounced users still have access to the site. It's just that they have none of the privileges that regular users have and can only read the site
Macron's notesMy most-wicked launch is Adaptational Angst Downgrade, at 141 wicks.
I feel like if I made a page I'd be the only one who'd wick it cuz the one I want to make is a small RPG Maker game series.... on the 3DS

Best advice I ever got? Keep repeating the joke till everyone is forced to laugh.I have 0 TLP drafts so I don't have a most-wicked one. I have a draft for one that I still have to work on—I've been busy though (and kind of unmotivated) so I haven't gotten a chance to work on it really.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallThe draft I've made is called Album Interlude Skit, and it's basically a trope about skits in music, mainly Hip-Hop but it's in other genres too.
My biggest problem with this trope is I have to listen to a shitload of skits to write it. Don't want to write any Zero-Context Examples.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallBrought in locked thread, but Wikipedia Is Bot Tvtropes was an interesting read and shows something about public perception.

Oh, and then there are the people who insist on adding Main/ before every single trope.
