I totally wrote up this reply earlier, but then Yuku kept giving me 503 Forbidden errors and I lost the post. But then I realize that I could install Wireshark, click resubmit in the firefox form, and grab the packet data. A bit of perl later, and hey, that was only slightly slower to figure out than retyping the thing.
xkcd: That's a cute idea, but I can't think of anything that's exactly
*funny* about us yet. There are a lot of writers on (this)
board. If you can think up a joke about us that is actually
funny (that doesn't involve our layout being broken, or us being paedos
har har), then maybe we'll ask Munroe to write
something.
Not that I want to discourage anyone from promoting us, I'm just saying. If it's a creator who has a tendency to link to TVT a lot, it's definitely a good idea to tell him or her that an alternative exists.
if they didn't have this ability before, Eddie is coding it up now
just because you mentioned it in this
thread. Be careful about mentioning anything you
want to do on TV Tropes in this thread. Morganni was banned
for posting in a previous thread on this board -- and not for any
conduct on the actual tvtropes.org website. Not even
for suggesting any anti-TVT action. Just for posting in a
thread with people who protested. So keep that in mind before
you mention any ideas in public about how to undermine TVT from
within. They are watching you.
So while you could cross-post content between the sites because hey, you wrote it and you own it, I'd strongly recommend doing against so using the same user name.

Quote:Of course, this dependsI'm pretty certain that
on whether admins or mods could read PMs even when they're not directed
at them. It also depends on finding those tropers who are
likely to not snitch to the admins. We'd do well to make sure
to mention not to let it slip, either on the forums or on the wiki
itself, but to instead suggest that they at least check out ATT before
deciding whether to join it.
