Quote:What would you call it?AllTheTropes.org (In fact, I entered the forums just now to suggest that domain -- and it happens to be free right now, according to GoDaddy.)
Quote:Does it need to have attached forums? If so, what should be the scope of those forums?No. I feel rather strongly about that -- the forums at TVTropes have become the home of an entire subculture who seem to think that if you don't participate there, you're not a real troper. Go back to the bog-standard discussion page for each entry, and maybe a few dedicated discussion pages.
Quote:How would you organize works and tropes?Actually, I was just thinking about this about an hour ago as I was mowing the lawn. Do we really need works pages? We're collecting the tropes and memes, and we'll obviously cite works as examples, but quite frankly, the collection of works at TVT was starting to outweigh the tropes. It's beginning to morph into a catalogue of fiction and the devices it uses, instead of the other way around. And it won't ever stop -- new works will always be created faster than new tropes.
Quote:Would Web 2.0 (beta) features like WYSIWYG editing be useful?Sure, but it's not a deal-breaker.
Quote:Is it important to keep the same format for legacy users?No.
