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?
Natter 65: Speed Limit Enforced by Aircraft
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.
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.
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.
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.
Unless there is something to propose, isn't it more appropriate here?
(Was joke. Carry on.)
I edited for context. Sorry.
I don't know! I don't know if Gus is a sore spot still.
I wrote up the initial entries for MASH and Magnum, PI for the tropes site. Most of my stuff is still there, surprisingly enough.
I don't remember the creation of TV Tropes involving any other buffista, certainly not two more who had known Gus for decades, and who were there since Salon. The whole story is false, I'm saying.
I'm pretty sure I'm burned out on Gus-related drama still.
