    What points do you mean?

    The point of "Why is this not deleted?", I assume. Of course, that in itself assumes that there are enough people able and willing to curate the entirety of Troper Tales.

    @ ninjaclown ^That.

    Anyway, they apparently want to use the Troper Tales that we brought up in the thread to showcase the new system.
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    The video makers, or are you talking about someone else? Sorry, but I think I may be confused.
  • RaddRadd
    The video makers.
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    And do they support/oppose the Old TT and do they support/oppose the new TT?

    Would posting a This Troper video, as an example, count as importing drama?
  • RaddRadd

    Well, at this point, they need Troper Tales.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon
    I don't think so.

    Don't post the Made Of Meat one, though, just in case,
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    So that's why they support TT either way, am I correct?
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    I recommend not doing it because Eddie hates it and we need to win him over rather than antagonize him.

    Indeed, This Troper has proven to be an automatic drama magnet, no matter what the context.

    If I mention it here only, it's not jinxing.

    Thanks but no thanks, I think I'll go skinny dipping in that lake far away from the nearest town where some sexy teens drowned one hundred years ago tonight.

    I actually don't know about the This Troper videos.

    I know some people were reading stupid passages from forum threads in half-mocking voices, relying on context being missing for the other half of the mocking.

    Are these related?
  • Engrish_IvyEngrish_Ivy

    That's one way of putting it. (Actually, it's more about Troper Tales than the forum, but, eh)

    Lol, Effort to erase TT started from the right-side of the forums, Not the left.
  • Scrye2Scrye2

    To be fair to This Troper, they never add anything to the posts/tales. All they do is read it. (Oh noes! A mocking voice?? The fiends!) The humor comes from how pathetic/retarded the tales/posts are. I don't see how this makes them assholes, as Eddie put it. If those tales/posts weren't supposed to be read, they shouldn't have been put on the internet.

    ^It's mostly when they started to show stuff about the forums and made videos about specific people is when alarm bells started to go off.

    Personally, I still think it's excessive. Most of the people who were featured actually didn't seem to mind.

    It strikes me as douchebaggery, but not enough to bother acknowledging.

    ^How dare they read forum posts on the internet. Forum posts are supposed to be private.

    I did say not bad enough to merit all the hating it's gotten. I'd rate it somewhere between "cutting in line" and "telling someone you don't like them very much" on the evilness scale.

    I see it as just kinda a meh thing and I don't see why people care about it in a positive or negative way.
