"probably in 1978": Author A. Bertram Chandler attends a match of the All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling league. If this hadn't happened, there would be no All The Tropes.

10 March 1997: Joss Whedon brought us a little show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

April 2004: The wiki that was to become TV Tropes got its first edit.

2 to 9 July, 2012: Vorticity runs a crawler to get all of the content of the TV Tropes wiki in source form.

1 November 2013: The first page of All The Tropes is imported to the Orain servers, Blaxploitation. The page was randomly selected by Perl's hash algorithm at some point in the conversion process.

13 November 2013: The first version of The Forums are opened.

16 May 2014: All The Tropes got its first media mention on Hacker News.

9 June 2014: The first time we passed 200 edits in a single day to the Main namespace, thus filling up Recent Changes. (Excludes times where we were moving a bunch of pages, because it's easy to get 15 in one go there.)

9 July 2014: Our first actual media mention, via a link from Salon.com about foreign language jokes in films.
