== Web Sites ==
* "The Pit of Voles"
** AKA "The Pit of Shrews"... although, confusingly enough, that name seems to ''also'' be applied to Quizilla.com.
** [[Terminator|Skynet]] is sometimes used to refer to the Pit's administrators.
* "The Pit of Rabid Horny Weasels"
** Sometimes also called "The Pit of Uber-Voles," "The Uber-Pit" for short.
* "The Picture Pit"
* "Rapidshit"
** Ditto "Megafail" among others for Megaupload
* [[The Other Wiki]]
** The Other Tropes Wiki: What we and other tropeswiki call [[TV Tropes]].
* "Moontube"
* The [[Hive Mind]], Wiki-tachi, Critical Analysis Drones: Those would all be this wiki's [[The Contributors|contributors]].
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20080828013352/http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=24212 Dr. Fight]
* The comedy site ''[[That Guy With The Glasses]]''
* Teh Floodz. Bungie.net's Flood forum.
* HuluTube
** And presumably because of the ads on the those officially distributed videos.
* Fans of [[Smogon]] call themselves Smogonites.
* Hell:
* When flame wars/trolling get particularly bad, [[Star Trek|StarTrek.com]] (ST.com) is often referred to as STD.com.
* [[Twitter]] posters who make dumb or annoying posts have picked up the nickname "Twittiots".
* Almost On Line or AOHell: AOL nicknames given by frustrated users of it or AIM.
* Yahell or Yahooey: Derogatory nickname of many a frustrated Yahoo mail, YIM and groups user.
* Many of the trope names listed here and on [[The Other Tropes Wiki]] could ultimately be considered fan nicknames, or at least fan nicknames for literary conventions established elsewhere when applied to a specific show, genre, or situation.
* The Blue Hell: applied to either Twitter or [[Tumblr]], the level of derogatoriness depending on whenever is said by the users of said sites or by bystanders.
* Crapatalk for Tapatalk, a bulletin board/forums hosting site which bought out and absorbed many other smaller, independent hosts like Yuku and ezBoard starting in the 2010s. They did this with the express intent of forcing advertising onto every page while making no more than a token, slapdash effort to translate the acquired boards into Tapatalk's native system (and often losing content from the imported boards in the process while disavowing any responsibility for losing data). It was so bad that someone wrote a [https://github.com/labster/taparip perl/sqlite utility] to rescue content from a Tapatalk board and put it in a form that could be easily translated to another board host.

* ''[[Homestar Runner]]''
** Kidstar
** Marzichan
** Visor Robot
* Linkin Ball Z
** [http://youtube.com/results?search_query=linkin%20park%20dragonball&search=Search&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&spell=1 Yah rly,] and that's just on Youtube...
* Fans of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series generally refer to Yami Bakura and Yami Marik as "Florence" and "Melvin", respectively. That may also be their 'canon' names.
** "Melvin" was originally a mocking joke name from Yami "[We came here to fight] Marik! Not his imaginary friend Melvin!" "Florence" was the name Yami Bakura bitterly said his parents wanted to name him, and that same episode ends with him saying that "Florence is back." Both took off with fans and [[Sure Why Not|became recurring names]] shortly thereafter, though "Florence" at least still goes by Bakura most of the time, presumably because "real" Bakura isn't active enough for there to be much confusion anyway.
* ''[[Lonelygirl15]]''
** BDJ
** TAAG
** The Creators
** Bambi
** Pharma Guy
* Handlers occasionally give ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' characters nicknames based on their personality traits and the like, and occasionally a character gets a malicious nickname made for the purpose of mocking them. Prominent examples of fan nicknames in SOTF include Kenurton Larris for v3 character Ken Lawson, BB for Blood Boy (people tend to prefer calling him by the shorthand "BB" for whatever reason), and in the mocking sense "* charactername* v2" for characters that are obvious clones of previous SOTF characters. "Mariavel v2" = Melina, "Damien v2" = Eduardo, and "Oliver v2" = Gabe Theobaldt, for example.
** A number of members (although it was sparked by the character's handler) have begun to refer to Bobby Jacks as '[[Metal Gear|Bocelot]]' due to performing an [[Offhand Backhand|Offhand Backshoot]] on another character (and hitting him in the head). Members joke that soon he will be ricocheting bullets off walls, and that before long he will have one of his arms cut off.
Line 48 ⟶ 51:
** From The Program, the SotF Mini [[Alternate Universe]] game, Logan Sorenson is almost always referred to as [[Troll|Lolgan]].
* ''[[Red vs. Blue]]''
** iTex
** iFrags
** eFrags
** {{spoiler|1=Alpha Church, aChurch, Robo Church}}
** "Shark Face"
* Not a character, but the fans have nicknamed the authors of the [[Whateley Universe]] stories the 'Canon Cabal'. Occasionally in the forums the acronym TINCC shows up after mentioning this nickname: it stands for 'There Is No Canon Cabal'.
* N. Bison from [[Kickassia]] as a result of him being the Nostalgia Critic dressed as M. Bison.
Line 67 ⟶ 70:
** [[Yiddish as a Second Language|Bagel Nosh]] for [[Tales of Symphonia|Noishe]].
* In the original run of the Webcomic "Earthsong", vampire Tristram was occasionally referred to as "Vampy [[Mc Emopants]]" for his overly melodramatic backstory.
* ''The Classic ''[[Doctor Who]]'' Twitter Blog'' likes using this trope when the proprietor doesn't know/can't spell a character's name. Examples include "[[Ominous Latin Chanting|Random Chanting Asian Man]]" (Kaleed from "Time-Flight"), "[[Everything's Better with Sparkles|sparkles]]" (the Megara from "The Stones of Blood"), and "[[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|BDSM-man]]" (Sharaz Jek from "The Caves of Androzani").
* [[The Slender Man Mythos|The Slender Man]], paragon of nightmares and [[Paranoia Fuel|source of paranoia]], is affectionately referred to as "Slendy".
** And in the Slendy-inspired web series ''[[Marble Hornets]]'', totheark/Masked Man, a silent man in a creepy theatre mask who attacks, stalks, and watches the protoganist sleep at night, is generally referred to simply as "Masky".
Line 81 ⟶ 84:
* In [[Rhett and Link|Rhett&Link]]'s "[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xe07j8_epic-rap-battle_music Epic Rap Battle]," Rhett gives a guy a Half-Nelson, and Link gives the same guy a Full-Nelson. The fandom has decided to name him "Nelson."
* The ''[[Downfall (film)|Downfall]]'' parody meme has a lot of these. Hitler himself is often called "Dolfy" by fans, Burgdorf has the fan nickname of "Burger-Dork", and Goebbels' nickname "Skeletor" probably started as one of these before actually becomming an [[In-Series Nickname]].
* ''[[Die Anstalt]]:'' Lyall for {{spoiler|the wolf inside Dolly. For [[Meaningful Name]] bonus points, it means "shield wolf".}}
* Less a nickname than an alternate spelling, many ''[[Helluva Boss]]'' fans have taken to using "Blitzø" over "Blitzo" as a reminder that [[Running Gag|the "O" is silent]].
* ''[[Worm]]'': Particularly in the ''Worm'' fanfiction community, "Queenie" for the Queen Administrator shard.
