Line 37:
* [[Death of the Author]]: After the Old Staff quit, their final sway in controlling DKU canon was lost. Aussie Ben would later take over the forums in attempt to enforce his will over [[Viva Pinata|Viva Pinata's]] canonicity.
* [[Five-Man Band]]: New Staff: Chad as The Hero, Slush as The Lancer, Aussie Ben as the smart guy, Andrey as the Big Guy, and Our Friend as the chick.
* [[Left Hanging]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20140618051917/http://www.dkvine.com/features/dkuepic.html Fun With Pass A Story: The Epic Donkey Kong [Not A] Cock-And-Bull Story]. It later got a [[Fully-Absorbed Finale]] with [https://web.archive.org/web/20140618051922/http://www.dkvine.com/features/endgame.html The End], which doesn't necessarily tie up all loose ends.
* [[Long Runners]]: 11 years and counting. "I can't believe this forum is still here", "I can't believe my old password still works" and "I can't believe how long it's been" are phrases you'll hear a lot from returning members.
* [[Podcast]]: Two of them;
** The Roundtable [[Po D Kast]], a straight up discussion program about current events in the DKU which features Mark and a variety of other hosts
** The Vine Audio Programme, initially the same, only featuring large scripted elements and soon evolving into an epic and crazy story arc. Features the original DKU staff members and their friends.
* [[Poorly-Disguised Pilot]]: The afore-mentioned [https://web.archive.org/web/20140618051917/http://www.dkvine.com/features/dkuepic.html Pass-A-Story] feature laid the foundations for ''[[Elvis And Slick Monty]]''.
* [[Series Fauxnale]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20140618051922/http://www.dkvine.com/features/endgame.html The End], which is also a two-fold [[Whole-Plot Reference]] to the [[Grand Finale]]s of both ''[[The X-Files]]'' and ''[[Newhart]]''.
* [[Serious Business]]: The very definition of it with regard to fandom, in many people's opinions.
* [[Snarky Non-Human Sidekick]]: Our Friend, Chad's camera inhabited by a lost soul. At one point he got hit in the lens cap by a wayward hoe, thought he was [[Bob Newhart]], and {{spoiler|transformed into [[Barack Obama]]}}. [[It's a Long Story]].
* [[Universe Bible]]: The whole idea of Rare's "Donkey Kong Universe" is explained by a set of rules kept on the site. They go through a lot of change; the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131030205729/http://www.dkvine.com/what_is_the_dku.html current incarnation] is specifically designed to thwart all sorts of loopholes in the system (''It's Mr. Pants'' gets [https://web.archive.org/web/20140903023824/http://www.dkvine.com/games/imp/whyimpdku.html a special article] on its inclusion). In addition, a full timeline of events, including complete fanon constructions, called the Timevine is kept.
* [[Viewers are Morons]]: Chad almost constantly in his forum posts. His angst eventually lead him to cancel [[Green Porn City]]
* [[Word of God]]: Leigh Loveday on the canon, Chad and Slush on the fandom. To this day Slush is seen as the guru on canon
