For a bit of a historical backstory: the forum was created in early October 2002 by Shidi, who later relinquished the role of head admin to Patjade.
Line 8:
Another noteworthy event of the forums are the Guild Wars [[Play-By-Post Games|play-by-post roleplays]] ([[Guild Wars|no, not that one]]), where members create their own characters (often based on their real life selves) and collectively write a Troperiffic fantasy story based around seven guilds: [[Pirate|Pirates]], [[Ninja|Ninjas]], [[Magic Knight|Mages]], [[Knight Errant|Knights]], [[Hired Guns|Mercenaries]], [[Space Police|Spacefleet]], and [[Steampunk]].

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: A lot of people have names that you don't really see in real life, but then there are some who have perfectly normal names (like Dan, Jo, Carrie, etc.).
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Plenty of 'em.
Line 36 ⟶ 32:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: NSQ.
** Much like [[Crazy Awesome]], many members are this, raising the possibility that the NTWF is a fantastic [[Cloudcuckooland]].
* [[Comedic Heroic Sociopath]]: Fang, as well as his character, Monty Fang.▼
* [[Comic Trio]]: There are different Comic Trios around the NTWF.
* [[Dark Action Girl]]: Crystal. And Huntress, to an extent.
Line 57 ⟶ 52:
* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]: Not as common as you might expect, but it still happens.
* [[Happy Fun Ball]]: Candy has been deathy scared of Balls ever since [[Hayati]] Trapped her in a bouncing box full of them, along with her 'husband', Draco.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: A lot of NTWFers. And when we say 'a lot', we mean... a lot.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: NTWFers often *brick'd* themselves over these.
Line 81 ⟶ 77:
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: So many of the personas.
* [[Planet Eris]]: All of the NTWF, but especially the 'bloids.
* [[Playing with a Trope]]: ''Inevitable'', thanks to the

** As well as its 8-bit [[Spiritual Successor]], [http://create-games.com/download.asp?id=8298 Super Ecksdee Panic].
Line 97 ⟶ 93:
* [[Talking Animal]]: ''Another'' common character type. See a pattern?
* [[Team Mom]]: Leoness.
* [[The Shepherd (trope)|The Shepherd]]: The entire forum but Ginz deserves special mention.{{context}}<!-- Unclear statement because it has no comma: Is this "everybody except Ginz is a Shepherd", or "everybody is a Shepherd, although Ginz takes it Up To Eleven"? -->
* [[Troll]]: Fang of the Dead isn't one, but, in-universe, his Hissi character Fang is one.
* [[Troperiffic]]: This should come as no surprise, since most of the members are creative writers and [[One of Us|a handful of them are avid Tropers]].
Line 114 ⟶ 110:
* [[Youkai]]: Specifically Kitsunes. (e.g. Wandy, Ikkin and Thundy)
=== The Guild Wars roleplays contain examples of: ===
