Bay12 Tropers
« on: December 16, 2009, 06:18:11 am »

I know that by creating this topic I'm opening some sort of death-pit that will eventually kill everyone on the forum, but I couldn't resist.

I was reading the My Immortal Drinking Game page, when I came across this:



Yes. That is the Squeegy you're thinking of, not some name-stealing jerk.

Which brought me to wondering how many of us spend (too much) time there, whether it be making edits, or just reading articles.

Are you a TVTropes frequent flier? Speak up!

(as a side note: from that drinking game page? Squeegy is badass.)

EDIT: Yes, I know Internet Explorer is terrible.

I try, but usually I screw something up with my edits. Not that I still don't try.

Example. I tried to use one of Squeegy's comics without his permission to illustrate 'Completely missing the point'.

Not only was it without his permission, it was a hotlinked image. I make silly mistake.

I always login as "Aqizzar", but I don't actually have a user page or go to many (read: any) Talk pages.

Just another Unknown Troper passing through.

I don't browse tvtropes that often, not that entertaining for me. :P

One day, we shall all look back on this, and laugh. Sorry about the face, by the way, and the legs, and the eyes, and the arms. In fact, sorry 'bout the whole body.

I actually spend time on TVTropes that I could be using writing papers. Just... reading things. I don't even edit that much. :D

I don't go to TVTropes often, because anime is the first example page, and looking through it, it looks like a huge circlejerk.  I get mad when I read it.

You can always close the anime section befor reading it. I just scroll through it looking for Gurren Lagann or Full Metal Panic references.

TVTropes is an interesting site, but I don't think I can contribute much. No Such Thing As Notability is nice, but some things are way too minor to note even here.

I made myself a promise not to become active on TvTropes because it would ruin my last remnant of school motivation. I have however made the occasional edit here and there, and started the LCS page.

My brain is a TVTropes substation. That's all I have to say about it.

I've spent so much time there, I directly download new information from that site into my brain psychically.

I read TV tropes a lot. Probably covered everything I care about. I still plan short stories with the story generator, although nothing more than plotting.

Am I the only one here that thinks Sofia's S2 Let's Play should be added to the article bearing the same name?

I read it quite a lot, but never edit.

It was tvropes that introduced me to DF.
