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.

Back then, troll posts got fucking deleted from existence so your trolling wouldn't be recorded in history
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallIts a slippery slope from Trolling bad people to just trolling everyone.
Read Pokemon Ultimate Emeraldyall have met Archsage, right?
he already trolls everyone, he just keeps it to a reasonable maximum of irritation most of the time. presumably he takes the limiters off when he's trolling bigots.
see, i would have potholed Vitriolic Best Buds

What he does is not Trolling, its just insults. There's a difference that a lot of people don't seem to understand.
I pretty much feel the same way not just about this site but the old internet in general. In terms of this site in particular, I'd love to experience first-hand the utter nightmare that was Troper Tales. Alas, we only have the Wayback Machine and YouTube to see just how nightmarishly chaotic it was.
JustForFun.How To Be An Anti HeroI was kind of around for the old days - didn’t have an account and I was a kid too. I remember when anonymous editing was allowed.
I also remember Troper Tales—I think either They Changed It, Now It Sucks! or Ruined FOREVER had one page I distinctly remember being filled with complaining, I believe about Windows versions among others.
I remember Wall Banger too—though that came and went later. I remember Mr. Enter had a WB page that was particularly complain-y—and I don’t even like him or his content.
I created my account in late 2019 after years of lurking, but I only started editing/getting active around late 2020. I did lurk the forums a little for years - I remember lurking the Deader Than Disco cleanup thread when it was created because I read that trope a lot prior to its cleanup.
Honestly I like the site now better. For all the fun of the chaos of the old site, I think the new site does its job really well, and I still can’t think of a comparable site that covers this site’s niche that wasn’t a split from this site. Part of the reason I started doing workshop stuff was because I genuinely like this site and want to see it succeed. Also because I like putting a lot of effort into something like a wick check and seeing the results of my effort. I don’t know. Hopefully this site will continue to improve in the coming years. It’s a fun site, I must say.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallLook, this thread's scope may have been broadened, but that doesn't mean anything goes. Aside from the post directly above this one, most of the past several posts are off-topic even for this thread.
Update from February 2023: Retracted the thumps because since this is Yack Fest, derailing isn't a big deal. Leaving this post up for transparency's sake.

I got a rock for Halloween.Ow,ow,ow.
-rubs head-
Anyway,an observation I have made is that we have a lot of media forums,which is fitting really,only problem is that we probably have too many so some escape notice so you have threads like Sinfest which festered with negativity for years and was only shut down recently
I don't actively search for them but there's bound to be others we should probably take notice of

quoting myself from the wick check thread:

That's the wrong way to look at it. Even if we had only one media forum, Sinfest would've likey slipped through the cracks because that forum would've still had too many threads.
I don't know about having too many threads,but having a single dedicated forum for media would mean it was all in one place

Why would you want to even do that?
Honestly makes me concerned you'd want to
