Tvtropes gets stuff done. We've had to deal with site crashes, trolls, flame wars, Natter, Natter, Natter, redlinks, ill-defined tropes, the tedious process that is renaming, the decidedly more fun process that is adding to the site, the decidedly less fun process that is cleaning up messy contributions, etc. etc. etc.

I can imagine a world where tvtropes had a less dedicated contributor base and we crashed and burned in 08.

The googleads issue is, like many other issues have been, a question of site survival. And you know what? I'm placing my bets on us seeing this through.

Hopeful Optimism?

I'm sure we'll find a way... right now, the solution that's being cooked up may not work, or may work beautifully. I think it's ridiculous of Google. What happened to "Don't be evil"?

Of course, people could simply be overreacting to Google. After all, it seems to be more of a matter of someone posting inappropriate content such as NSFW images or lurid Troper Tales.

And yes, although it involves much kicking and screaming, in the end, we somehow manage to pull ourselves together.

The kicking and screaming is the fun part, though!
