    I'm confused, which of the threads are considered bad?

     I agree that you shouldn't be able to article talk contributor pages, but discussion involving the article itself seems like it would be both on-topic and much, much more likely to be seen than the old discussion pages.

    Because they'll end up horribly, horribly jumbled.

    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    ^^Yeah, but this system would lump it in with "I think this trope is pretty cool" and other discussion.

    Good luck trying to work on a page on a popular new release with this system.

    I don't see where Trope Talk fits into all of this, actually.

    Either all this conversation should have been thrown over into Trope Talk or this replaces Trope Talk and Trope Talk becomes part of Wiki Talk.

    ^Yeah, my original suggestion was that Trope Talk should be revamped.
  • ElbeemElbeem
    Hmm, yes, that's a valid point. We'll have to see how this plays out, I think. Some growing pains are bound to happen.

    ...wait, what's wrong with the Article Talk forum as it currently stands?
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Discussion about doing stuff with the article will be jumbled in with general talk about the subject matter.

    ...oh.

    Good point.

    This sounds like Trope Talk, actually.

    For works pages, I would think the easy solution would be to have two buttons: one for "Article Talk", which is just about the article, and one for the work's thread in the relevant subforum.
  • ElbeemElbeem
    ^ seconded.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    ^^Yeah, and the same should probably go for Tropes, with them having an "article talk" thread and a "trope talk" thread.

    I think Eddie misnamed this forum, and basically created what's now Trope Talk.  He should just switch the names or somehow reverse the two's uses.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    ^Yeah, but it would be cool for Trope Talk to work similarly to how this subforum does.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Why is it that every time I expect there to be a decent implementation Eddie manages to find a loophole and do it horribly wrong?

    FE: Okay, let's put Troper Ta--I mean, personal anecdotes on the discussion pages.
    TVT: Noooo don't put them on discussion pages put them on a general trope talk forum instead.
    FE: Okay, I will put them on the forum.
    ---Approximately one forum implementation later---
    FE: Okay! I have merged the discussion pages with the general trope talk forum. Enjoy!

    This has all just made me more sure that getting out was the right idea.

    It's not too late to follow me out!  D:

    I deleted my account and everything.

    It's official now.

    I still have friends there.

    Fuck the left-hand side though.

    Yeah, luckily for me, I keep in touch with the one person I'd consider a friend who's only on TV Tropes through AIM.

    And the left side can go eat a bag of dicks.

    Sadly, I couldn't manage to stay in touch with SunshineWerewolf, and I only emailed Zersk twice or so since I left.

    Come to think of it, I haven't texted Poisonarrow in a while, either; I prefer texting with him because he can't hit on me there. :P
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    I have Sunshy's facebook~

    And Cygan's MSN

    And there's #yackfest. 

    Although Haven don't get on there. Should fix that via beating the crap outta him till he does or something.

    Well, I've already essentially retreated to a few Media threads, Troper Updates and the Angst thread,
  • AnneBeecheAnneBeeche

    So, about #yackfest, where is that hosted and such so I can access it?

    I use Mibbit, even though it's shit, because Chrome doesn't have an IRC app. If you have an IRC app for whatever browser you're usng (Such as Chatzilla for Firefox) then use those. 

    Anyway, go here, put #yackfest in the channel namespace and choose "esper" as the server. Use whatever nick you're going to use and bingo.
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    Maybe because I don't go to the left side very often, but what about it is so bad again?
