So just as the very first wiki, the [http://c2.com/cgi/wiki? Portland Pattern Repository], sought to catalog the patterns in software development, we seek to catalog all of the patterns in media -- the patterns we call [[tropes]].
 
== Why we left [[The Other Tropes Wiki]] ==
 
TV Tropes began a policy of censoring pages in early 2012, in response to 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 ==
 
Line 17 ⟶ 15:
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 control the destiny of this wiki.
 
The owners of the servers that support this website are the folks at [[m:Main Page|OrainMiraheze]], 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.
<!-- Formerly Orain -->
 
== 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.
 
== Donations ==
 
We don't need any for our own site now. However, OrainMiraheze is a nonprofit hosting us, and they would be more than happy to accept [[m:donations|donations]] to keep the site running.
