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.

I think I've seen someone mention that the oldest subforum on the current system (as opposed to the phpBB forum it replaced) is the Tech Wishlist & Bug Reports
forum due to its forum ID being all zeroes, or at least they assumed that's why it's all zeroes. It's also not particularly relevant these days now that we use queries instead of a forum for that stuff.

I got a rock for Halloween.Well would you look at that. Another launch of mine is Trope of the Day
I didn't know Braving the Blizzard was one of your launches. I chose it because it's the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere.
I know
Funnily, it and Sweet Baker I think are two of my most solid launches, so I'm happy they were the ones in the queue lol
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallNo, someone just kinda decided to make JustForFun.Tv Troupe but if it's an actual JFF page I'd rather make it a little more robust since nobody can get there by accident. (On that note, I do think a JFF version of Tv Troops would be fun if we want to expand on the gag and list our "soldiers" the way JustForFun.Tv Tropes Super Hero Team does)
Speaking about JFF always reminds me that I still want to make a TV Tropes Hotel page. Maybe I'll throw it into the TLP one day.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallThe JustForFun/ namespace is open to editing to everyone, instead of how non-staff users have to go through TLP to make pages in Main/. I don't think JustForFun.TV Troupe was mentioned to any mods before or when it was made, but that's why it was able to be made without mod intervention.

We always have Trope Report's most recent April Fools' prank to work with.
Y’know, on that subject, I’ve been thinking that Guide Dang It! seems more like a YMMV item, since “not enough hints to do what the game expects you to do” seems pretty subjective.
I’m gonna put some Gloom in your eye.How Urban Legend of Zelda has survived for so long without a rename is a mystery
have a listen and have a link to my discord serverContrary to popular belief, it is not an installment of the Zelda series that takes place in the modern era.
Your melody still remains in this room and it rings![]()
I... actually would be kinda interested in playing that.
I was just making a joke, not starting a discussion.

I’m gonna put some Gloom in your eye.shouldn't this be in the fan fiction forum?
its the WTF Fanfiction topic,its fairly old too.
have a listen and have a link to my discord serverSo something I'm curious about. I've seen mod posts on the edit banned thread that say something along the lines of "X troper has deleted their account and are now bounced". What's the difference between an account being deleted and being bounced?
Follow-up question: what’s the difference from being read-only and just viewing the site without an account?

I’m gonna put some Gloom in your eye.Bouncing restricts people to read-only. It used to kick you to Google.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallThere was discussion regarding that
two or three years ago, and it was decided not to make it YMMV. (It was also kind of hard to follow because it was originally a Trope Talk thread, and then it was moved to TRS after a wick check was made; these days, we prefer to start a new thread when moving Trope Talk conversations to TRS.)
It actually didn't survive without a rename, if you count the fact that that's not its original name. It was originally called Schala Lives (with Chrono Trigger as the Trope Namer instead of The Legend of Zelda).
I got a rock for Halloween.The Guide Dang It! thread was a mess and I wouldn't mind trying again; the conversation went in about 5 different directions because that was before TRS threads had a more standardized process. We couldn't even decide what the correct topic was.
I think the only other recent TRS thread that was as chaotic was Hot Gypsy Woman.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wallre Generic Guy 2000: There are still some areas that may require being logged in to read, though aside source mode I don't recall many. Deleting account naturally loses everything and a last chance of admin appeal.

I wonder what the oldest forum on this website is,it might be wiki talk or Frequently Asked Questions
