Title: Tvtropes

Anyway tvtropes is a site that catalogues examples of common cliches or "tropes" in the media. Most of the pages themselves are decent and , at times amusing. While site itself is okay albeit a timewaster, the forums  are home  to one of the worst communities on the internet.

Admin edit:  No need for fetish links here, thanks.

Yep, I do love me some TV Tropes.  Never got involved in the community, though.

Guess I haven't seen the community too much aside from the Skyward Sword forum thread they have going on (and the antipiracy thread, but eh), but I wouldn't say it's one of the worst. Far from it, actually.

well consider your self luck. the community isactually very creepy and attention seeking.  most of their creepiness is found in troper tales (no loner hosted on site for obvius reasons  but are still acessible by archive)

check out the pages for "beware the nice onces" "perverse sexual lust" " yandere" "stalker with a crush" and " nightmare fetishist"  in particular if you  wannna see how creepy tropers really are....

That doesn't sound very fair to seemingly label tropers in general as creepy. Yes, of course there are creepy ones, but really, who could expect anything else out of those Troper Tales areas? The subject matter they cover kind of goes without saying.

I like reading Tvtropes. The stuff they have tends to make laugh from time to time. I'm not too much into the're forums, though. I don't wanna get that involved.
