;April 2004
:The wiki that was to become [[TV Tropes]] got its first edit.
;July 2004
:[[User:Looney Toons|Looney Toons]] reads a blog entry about [[TV Tropes]] and decides it might be a fun way to spend a slow afternoon.

:[[The Google Incident]], aka [[The Situation]]. Google suddenly and without notice shuts off all advertising to [[TV Tropes]], in response to a determination that TVT was not compliant with their AdSense guidelines. TVT responds by implementing various low-impact methods such as requiring registration to see "non-compliant" pages (without ads).
;April 2012
:[[The Second Google Incident]]. Responding to another threat to TVT's advertising revenue due to Google being informed of "inappropriate" content, Fast Eddied responds with a previously-unseen alacrity. Hundreds of pages addressing topics suitable to persons over the age of ten are culled and a censorship regime is imposed on the entire wiki. The [[Censorship Bureau|P5]] is established and populated by a hand-picked team of bigots, prudes and [[Lickspittle]]s, whose advice Fast Eddie ignores when it conflicts with his own prejudices.
