*** And now The Tropes Wiki has [http://editthis.info/tv_tropes/Main_Page its own example of] Start My Own. A user, disgruntled that the Admins at the Tropes Mirror wouldn't let him import pages upon pages of S&M porn to the wiki went and started his own... but unlike the Tropes Wiki, this one (which appears to be a one-man operation) makes no pretense about being anything but a copy-paste of TV Tropes.
*** In addition to the first Start My Own Trope Mirror, there is now the ''[http://tvtropesmirror.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Unofficial TV Tropes Mirror]'', which is being run by contributors to the original Tropes Wiki who are upset about the fact that the creators of the Tropes Wiki really meant it when they said that [[Anime]] would not be considered a [[Special Snowflake Syndrome|Unique and Special Snowflake]] (the Unofficial Tropes Mirror Wiki, for example, renamed the "[[Band of Brothers]] trope page "Nakama", and doesn't bother with a "[[True Companions]]" page, for example.

*** And there has been at least one fork from ATT, as well.
* Happens online all the time, due to the relative ease of creating a website. If we listed all the examples we'd be here all day. However, two famous victims are [[LiveJournal]], which has a half-zillion clones at this point (all of them near-''perfect'' clones in fact, due to the site's open-source codebase), and [[Deviant ART]], whose restrictive policies led to the creation of SheezyArt and later [[Furry Fandom|FurAffinity]]. In most such cases, the result is similar to the comedic examples in fiction, with so many people starting their own site that none of them have many users.
* At one point in its history, the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'' had a new referee who decided, without any consultation on the owners of the property, or with the other referees, that he was going to rewrite the history of the game world, and move the game to a new site out of the owner's control. When he was (justifiably) booted with extreme prejudice, he declared the old group lame and started up his own. It lasted about four months before folding.
