OMG, and I just read that article, and am having to restrain myself from going "SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET" and "BLOGGING IS NOT REAL JOURNALISM OR YOU WOULD'VE CHECKED YOUR SOURCES". Ahem.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'd be happy to propose a Drama Thread in B'craxy just in case.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I read the article pretty fast, and to be fair to the article, it only says he was from Salon, not that the TVT founders created b.org, like I initially thought. So a little less outrageous.
Eta: Yeah, if people want to talk about this in bureau, not that I'm saying there's lots to say, we can move it there.

Oh hell, I'm id#4, and I sure as hell had nothing to do with "founding" this community, other than sending occasional $ to Jesse and um...being a verb? Posting since 1999?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
lori is id #1, isn't she? It's gotta be her.
Actually, id #1 is a super user account. (i.e. all-powerful.) It's what a stompy would use when regular stompy powers are not enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't do it! None of it! Gus started TV Tropes all by himself. People might have done some heavy lifting later, but he started it himself, IIRC. Got contributions from folks here. I'm pretty sure I did some typing.
I'm totally traumatised by that article. In so many ways.

Yeah, I'm #2, and lori is #3. She's sneaky fast. I'm just sneaky.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Unless there is something to propose, isn't it more appropriate here?
