I know I mentioned this before on the other thread, but I'll mention it again for anyone who is interested.
A guy called Anime Addict is trying to make his own Wikia style TV Tropes like website, located here:
http://tvtropesmirror.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
His goal is to bend every effort to make the site as much like TV Tropes, within the limits of Wikia code, not to mention he plans to throw up everything TV Tropes is taking down in some form or fashion as long as Wikia doesn't object.
Unfortunately, his biggest problems is that he needs help.
I've spoken with the guy, even gave him a link to the torrent/DDL links because honestly, I want another alternative to TV Tropes to exist (in fact, the more TV Tropes monopoly is reduced, the better in my book), and so far, he's gotten a pretty good head start, he's an extremely reasonable guy who was very supportive of the efforts to archive TV Tropes and what they were censoring, and right now, he needs people willing to donate their time (if possible) to help him out, especially in porting over trope and work pages and formatting them to Wikia format.
The Wikia website was originally owned by Jack Butler (who now is owner of The Trope Wiki), but after he decided he didn't like Wikia formatting and went with a Wikipedia style setup, Anime Addict adopted the domain, and is currently bending every effort to make his site replicate all the essentials of TVT.
He also has decided to roll back the clock somewhat on some policies of TVT that he didn't like, such as nuking some of the more interesting discussion pages, homogenizing witty trope names into something bland and sterile, and generally, he just wants people to have fun because he agrees TV Tropes in its current state is turning into a place riddled with Serious Business types, and he wants to make a more casual alternative.
If you're interested, please check out the site.
NOTE: Despite his name, he is neutral on what works and tropes can be ported, and has told me personally he holds no bias against any media, eastern or western, and believes firmly that if can be troped, it should be troped.
