Hello,
I have entered in the forum specifically to give you my opinion on
this issue.
So far, I've been
a big fan of TVTropes and I considered it one of the best and most
useful websites of the net, but in the end I have ended deeply
disappointed with the successive changes it has undergone. It's no
longer the open and fun page it used to be. So I wish you luck
in your project. I think it's necessary an alternative to recover the
original spirit of TVTropes.
I would like to give a
suggestion. Referring to Tropes Tales, I think it's a function that
must be resurrected if you want to succeed with your project. Tropes
Tales used to be my favorite section of TVTropes and its disposal
was my first big disappointment with that site.
But mostly, I
guess you do not want “The New TVTropes” to be simply a museum or
only a copy of the "Authentic Tvtropes” that only visit a few
people and almost no one knows.
To succeed,
wikitropes needs to offer something that does not offer its
competitor, tvtropes (law of the market). TVTropes has a huge
advantage over your project - its well established, has many regular
visitors and has built a name over the years, while you are newly
arrived and unknown. Being simply
"tvtropes uncensored" is not enough. It can even lead to
some bad name, if that is the only differentiating factor with
tvtropes.
That's
why Tropes Tales must be re-established as quickly as possible with
the contents that still remain in the storage
([url=http://tropertales.wikkii.com),]http://tropertales.wikkii.com),[/url] and allow new contributions as a way
to gain notoriety and compete with tvtropes.
Well, that's all for now.
Good
luck, everyone!
