Ok, per mod decision, the purpose of this thread is to scrutinize and clean up pages about web sites. Other Sites, especially, has become a catch-all for "my favorite web site that I feel like pimping."
THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS:
- A Web Site Is Not A Work For Troping Purposes: A website can contain tropable content, but the site itself does not automatically have a place with us simply by existing.
- A Web Site That Is Not Tropable Can Sometimes Be Repurposed: It may have a place as a Useful Notes page, or serve as an index if it hosts a lot of works that we do trope.
- User Antics Are Not Tropable: Trolls, mod decisions, forum drama. Such are Troper Tales and sources of spiritual decay. They must be purged, even from acceptable pages.
- User Created Content Is Potentially Tropable: But most of it has its own categories already, such as Game Mod, Fan Fiction, or Journal Roleplay.
Put pages you believe should be completely cut in the crowner at the bottom. If you believe a page can be saved or migrated, make a post with details. Other Sites contains the primary targets right now, but any page about a web site should be scrutinized

Bringing up TV Tropes Forum. Aside from being quite outdated, it has a list of tropes that apply to the user base.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanYou can remove the tropes, Septimus. Also you can update What Goes Where on the Forums and discuss this with Outdated Pages.
Rock'n'roll never dies!I found Website.Dailymotion and it's a tropeless stub. Dailymotion is an unpopular video hosting site that is pretty much known as a place to host pirated material.
Content Warning: My posts may involve my actions dealing with R-rated or Not Safe for Work content. Same for my edit history.I think we can safely cut it. It has only one editor, and it's not like it's tropeable.
SoundCloudI love the random plug to the abridged series on that page, implying that it's the only reason why the page was created. "Hey! Thanks for searching up Dailymotion on TV Tropes! By the way, you should check out this Bleach parody I made."
Added it to the cutlist.
Rock'n'roll never dies!A new troper just made the page Wiki.Harvey Girls Forever Fanon. Poor formatting aside, is it a fanon wiki worth troping?
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.I don't get it. Is this "wiki" hosting fanfiction or describing fanfiction hosted somewhere else?
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"After looking at the site, I honestly have no idea if the very bare-bones descriptions of "fan-made episodes" are describing something that's hosted elsewhere or not. Perhaps ~SuperGroup2013 can tell us.
YMMV.Rational Wiki came up on ATT for having a lot of potentially-ROCEJ-violating content.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.It's a creative work, but most of it seems like inviting wars.
The Growing the Beard entry seems like the only one to keep.

Rock'n'roll never dies!I just cut an example from Ted that was about a real person rather than the website or its content. But there are only two examples left...
I'm back!TED is completely nonfiction and can be cut.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Okay, it's been listed.
I'm back!Lost Media Wiki. Seems not to be a tropably creative work?
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.Wanted to bring it here before making the page: is the "make up a guy" Twitter account a tropable work? I've found several tropes in the tweets, and compiled them in a folder on my sandbox.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Given the many, many tropes you've found, and the fact that they're all about a work of fiction, I'd say yes.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.I was going to say something disparaging out of habit, but there's no reason why Twitter can't be a platform for creative writing.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Just look at The Sun Vanished, and a slew of other online ARG.

Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessHey, dril has a page, and while it needs some ZCE cleaning, it's got tropes...
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.In other news, I just learned there's YMMV pages for both Twitter and Facebook.

Was it dewicked first? Seemed to be a few as of it being listed.
