Wow, it's so nice to have all of that TV Tropes drama behind me now that they reversed my ban and all. Maybe I'll just have a whole day free of internet drama. Okay, I'll go check Bob's forums now.
o.O
Goddamnit Fast Eddie.
@Rpg1: Note that censorship isn't necessarily a bad thing. In real life commons, there are regulations on time, place, and manner of free speech. So enforcing a set of rules is part of the admin staff's job -- even if the wiki is a commons, that doesn't inherently question Fast Eddie's ability to act as caretaker. I'm sure Bob censors spam here, and I think we're all happier because of it. There's even an appropriate place for selling stuff. Therefore, he's a good caretaker of this commons, because his actions support the feeling of the community. In contrast to He Who Was Named A Few Sentences Back.
Back to the new developments: I'm still iffy on a fork, but I think someone needs to take emergency action to preserve the content on TV tropes. So I've been diving into the CC-BY-SA license:
