All the NSFW stuff coming off of TVT currently
Anyone wanna find their own hosting for it?
You might be able to find logs of all the stuff that's been cut. Pretty easy to just convert that to whatever other format and then repost it on another wiki.
Call it the NSFWiki? lol.
Edit: No, I'm NOT spearheading this project.

The articles are going to be reinstated, yannow.
^ This IS Eddie we're talking about. We can't know for certain what he has planned
It would be nice to have a new wiki. No more Kodomo No Jiken? I shudder at the thought. I really loved that anime, and only found it through TV Tropes. At least they didn't cut Mitsdumoe...or just hadn't found it yet...
Plus, me and my friends put up an article for a series of roleplaying forum games that mentions lolicon a lot. After all that work we put into the page, it would feel like a slap in the face to have it all deleted in the blink of an eye.
Except we do and the mods have become far more trustable. (Mostly because most of the old ones are not as prominent)
Look, I don't like TvT and I still think this was the dumbest plan in the history of plans, but I still think iit's ridiculous that people are talking about this as if the plan was just to delete the articles.
For what it's worth, Custer's Revenge was found and purged sometime today or yesterday. Beat Angel Escalayer was found and purged a few days back. (I started both pages so I have more of an inkling of caring about them than other random porn works.)
They haven't found a certain page yet. For its security, I'm not going to say what it is directly, just that I was once involved in its source...by accident.
Also, history may still be visible. Literally. Grab it while it's still hot.
@Everest:
fuck youscrew youthe heck with youMan, this is just getting dumber and dumber.
I aim to provide tools for the preservation of useful information. I cannot provide that preservation itself, but I can help.
...oh my, looking back through said source, I'm remembering when the sockpuppet Yamada was attempting to have sex with everyone. That was pretty fuckin' weird.
>mfw that Yamada sockpuppet was me
Man, those were weird times for me. Glad I'm over it. >.>;
Isn't the Fetish Fuel wiki going to be a dumping ground for that stuff anyway?
^ That's a pretty good point
I think we can all blame this on TVT becoming more popular, and thus creating a need to appear more "clean" to avoid attracting negative attention from the mainstream.
While some good has no doubt come out of this (much of the wiki was a giant mess in the past), sometimes the Admins take it a little bit too far.
I was under the impression that it was more to avoid attracting negative attention from the adservice that keeps it going.
The ire concerning this isn't so much that pages have been removed, but that the removal has been so extreme and undemocratic. Fast Eddie has a habit of implying that he can do whatever he wants with his wiki, but fails to recognise that it's a collaborative effort and people have put personal work (of however much or little quality) into those pages.
^ Yes. If you wanna keep people coming and contributing, you gotta preserve the sense that their contributions are actually valuable and valued.
Thats how it started, then Eddie found stuff like KnJ and that manga about the 10 year old succubus and wanted rid of it
I thought this was actually because someone did another Google-tattle about a page that didn't even have Google ads this time?
I agree Eddie is acting a little dictatorial. Once Google is satisfied, the censorship should stop there.
Are you talking about the Naughty tentacles page?
That's what I heard.
Eddie said that he wanted to go further than just the bare minimum
Ninja'd.
-has the first 6500+ pages of the second forum thread saved-
-not sure why-
I wonder if you can steal a web domain?
What really gets me is that more or less everyone on TV Tropes, on this site, on SA and half the rest of the Internet had all heard of KnJ before Eddie tumbled to the idea that it might be a bit controversial.
He was always prone to that, but the real problem is that he's never dictatorial enough at the right moments. If he'd deleted some of this stuff months ago he'd had saved himself a lot of trouble. Instead, he's been cracking down on a lot of the people who were trying to tell him there was a problem.
And that last thing kind of smells to me too.
TV Tropes never should have tried cleaning up. I didn't even know Panty Shot was cleared of examples until this stuff started. Stupid Google.
You should start up a NSFW tropes wiki or help contribute the old TVT content to it, then.
Gee, where have I heard that before? :P
TV Tropes definitely had to clean up, but ideally it should have been a change powered by the community and supported by the staff. The thing is, previous efforts to do just that have been blocked by overly defensive contributors. This whole mess could have been avoided if those initial efforts had been supported by the staff rather than getting their catalyst members banned by Fast Eddie.
