people have actually donated almost 50,000 dollars to TV Tropes just to overhaul their fuck awful website and finance a shitty trope based web show

no, seriously

50,000 USD

to overhaul a fucking website, and make a third season of shit nobody watches

do you think they paid or asked permission for that abraham lincoln riding a bear image

i don't know but i sure as hell want to know why the fuck it takes 50k in big ones to overhaul the site

doesn't shit like this normally take under triple digits costwise? and moreover, if like 80% of this is going into the webshow, why? it doesn't take much money to host that shit and better things have been produced on smaller budgets so i don't see why they need that much fucking money

not even kidding when i say better things have been produced on smaller budgets either

the first paranormal activity film (note: FILM, as in, shit that goes to the god damn theatres not some casual ass internet show) was produced on a budget of 15,000 dollars and it was a box office hit and a pretty good film according to most people

i refuse to believe that they need 50k just to do some webshow and overhaul the website

I forgot the name

But yeah I always sorta thought TVTropes was BS, especially the articles on fanfictions that are pretty much BLATANT advertissing.

they're a good example and trope resource for writers to draw from (which is kind of the point of the whole place) but outside of that yeah it's all shit pretty much

holy shit when i saw the banner i thought they were gonna get like 2000 bucks tops

do that many people read fucking tvtropes?

and WHO NEEDS THAT MONEY TO RUN. A. SEMI-POPULAR. WIKI.

yes tvtropes is popular you dumb fuck it is literally second to wikipedia in size

yeah but size doesn't always mean viewership

like uncyclopedia is massive and nobody really gives a shit about it anymore

that's because uncyclopedia fucking sucks and the people there are unlikable faggots in every way

okay i have to admit finding some articles there (not the memey, awful ones) pretty quality

they're at 45k now, as opposed to just 43 when i made this thread

progress??!!
