If you suggest a [[Trope]] which is basically just an excuse for discussion and listing your favorite or least favorite moments, series, and characters, you might be told to [['''Take It to Thethe Forums]]'''. Which are [https[Special://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki/Forum:All_The_Tropes WikiForum|here]]. If you have [https://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki/Special:CreateAccount gotten known], you are already a signed-up member.▼

The wiki itself is not really a place for [[Natter|random discussion]]. To be a [[Trope]], something has to be measurable, its examples meeting a certain fixed definition rather than depending on the whims of the [[Troper|troperstroper]]s who add them. "[[Gushing About Shows You Like|I like it]] / [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Like|I don't like it]]" doesn't meet that standard. Although [[Your Mileage May Vary|several tropes]] of this variety have been deemed worthwhile enough to slip through that net (or have been [[Grandfather Clause|grandfathered]] in from the pre-forums era), it'll be an uphill climb to convince the [[Hive Mind]] that we need another, and you'll probably be told to [['''Take It to Thethe Forums]]''' at least once.
 
However, unlike the forums over on [[The Other Tropes Wiki]], the All The Tropes forums are not a free-wheeling community in and of itself. The founders of ATT are of the opinion that the TVT Forums long ago became a case of the tail wagging the dog, and that some of the decay of that site can be laid to rest at the feet of their forums. For this reason, the forums at All The Tropes are limited entirely to matters of trope and wiki contributions, image selection, and technical support. Having too many forums encourages people to live in the forums, and forget what the wiki is there for (or that the wiki ''is'' there at all).
