    That's actually pretty hilarious.

  • BeeBee

    Apparently some people tried to give Spark Pay their account info.


  • Naas_HumanNaas_Human

    ^ What, like bank accounts?

  • BeeBee

    One hopes just their TVT accounts, but a) The Internet, and b) as often as people use the same account names and passwords across sites even that could be a problem.

    It seems that at least one thread is up but the thread watchlist itself is down.

  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey

    I think I have a clue.


    When I click the thread watchlist link the site tries to take me somewhere else before going to http://www.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/thread_watch.php .


    That somewhere else is being occupied by sparkpay.


    (Incidentally it's also what trips up Leechblock and causes that to make me wait to load tvtropes.org pages all over again.)

    It has been ages since I went there.


    >site has Content Violations now


    >oh goody, they're actually cleaning up


    >after the obvious shit is deleted, the only thing left is whining about grimdark stuff because it's 'sadistic fetishism'


    I don't envy those P5 peeps at all.

    Kichigai birthday!!
    Persona 5 will be about TV Tropes, so Atlus has asked Fast Eddie to make the site more accesible to a Japanese audience, and that means the removal of violent stuff

    ^FU! FU! FU! You ruined my epik joke :((
  • Super LazuliSuper Lazuli
    yea i make potions if ya know what i mean

    the fact that a committee called "The Purity 5" is a thing that actually exists will never stop baffling me, regardless of the where or why of it.

    According to Google, you're the first person to call P5 that. 


    On my end, TV Tropes is doing fine. Hopefully, it'll stay this way.

    They're somethin' else.

    Hey, chihuahua!

  • ninjaclownninjaclown

    I honestly didn't know anyone still cared. The place kind of grosses me out now.

    TV Tropes says:
    5P, or P5, stands for "Posse for the Prevention of Pedophilia and Pure Porn", or alternatively "Panel to Purge Pornography, Paedophilia and Perversity", or perhaps "Panel Preventing Perversity, Pornography and Paedoshit". You know what, no one's really sure anymore.
    Not that any of those are much better than Purity Five, really...

  • BeeBee

    Purity Five makes it sound like a boy band.

    One foot in front of the other, every day.

    Or a special move from a JRPG.

    Purity 5 would be the worst superhero/mahou shoujo team.

    Hey, chihuahua!



    Hello!


    I'll probably disappear from this forum shortly. I'm just establishing a place to look at just in case TV Tropes goes down again.

    You'll have to forgive my mistake, I'm afraid.



    I honestly didn't know anyone still cared. The place kind of grosses me out now.



    If anything, it's become offensively clean, as far as I'm concerned.

    Also apparently whatever they did to the code broke the Omnibot functions in #yackfest that relied on pulling stuff from TVT. Which is uh, something.

    "Purity 5" sounds like a Christian boy band-sort of thing.

    The forum is completely back up unless you click the "thread watchlist" link.  That throws you over to sparkpay.  But if you type in hat URL, it doesn't go through some interstitial page and takes you directly to your watchlist.

    They're somethin' else.

    Everytime I read this thread title, I think of this meme:


     


    But replaced with


    TVTROPES IS DOWN


     


    JUST DESCRIBE YOUR COMIC TO ME

    You can highlight his post, right-click and choose "view selection source" (at least on Firefox), and the source code will have a link to the picture. It's just an image macro with a guy on the phone with the text saying


    INSTAGRAM IS DOWN


    JUST DESCRIBE YOUR LUNCH TO ME

  • Earl_of_SandvichEarl_of_Sandvich

    And once again the site is experiencing technical difficulties, and I know it's not just me either...

    ^^ Instagram: The New Worse Twitter.


    Anyway, I hang around Content Violations a lot, and I can confirm that at this point, most of the really sick stuff is kaput, which has made things significantly less irritating and entertaining at the same time.


    At this point, I might just leave the site out of lack of things to say.

  • Psyga315Psyga315

    Yeah. It's down... again. Let's hope it's temporary and not that "OMG! DDOS ATTACK SO BIG WE HAVE TO SHUT DOWN!"
