== Why we left [[The Other Tropes Wiki]] ==
TV Tropes began a policy of censoring pages in early 2012, in response to [[Think of the Advertisers!|pressure from Google AdSense]]. We felt that we could make a community that would be free from commercial influences, and more responsive to the concerns of the community. For the nitty-gritty, see [[All The Tropes:History|History]].▼

== Who Owns the Wiki ==
Eventually, the idea will be to incorporate as a non-profit corporation, but for now, our revenue and needs are just too small. ButUntil forwe grow nowinto a larger community, the owners are Brent "Vorticity" Laabs and GethN7, until we grow into a larger community.▼
 
But the owners of the ''content'' of the wiki are all of the editors who make this such a fun place to be in -- the fans, the critics, and the creators will ultimately control the destiny of this wiki.

The owners of the servers that support this website are the folks at [[m:Main Page|Orain]], who put together their wiki farm to provide an ad-free, nonprofit alternative. This works well of our goals to get away from the commercialism that threatened TVT.
 
== Nonprofit status ==
As explained above, we plan to incorporate as an educational non-profit corporation when the wiki gets bigger. No one actually makes any money off of the wiki, and we have no plans to turn it into an ad-ridden commercial venture. Our administrators have helphelped to createdcreate a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in the past for a wiki, and are more than willing to do it again. It just costs nearly $1000 to do so, and so we definitely need to have significant expenses to justify it.▼
