-{{trope}}
-The articles go in the wiki, the [[Trope]] proposals go in YKTTW, everything is nice, clean and [[Natter]]-free. However, there's a problem: You liked [[Natter]], you enjoy discussing [[Trope|tropes]] and works with your fellow [[TROPER|tropers]], you love adding witty snark to the nearest ''[[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]]'' or ''[[Inheritance Cycle (Literature)|Eragon]]'' example... Worry not! for there is a place where you can do all this and much, much more: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/topics.php The Forum.]
-So... What's with this "forum" we keep talking about? Well, for starters, it allows a more fluid conversation between [[TROPER|tropers]], avoiding [[Conversation On the Main Page]] (or on the [[Home Page/YMMV|YMMV]] tab, for that matter -- just because every [[Trope]] there is subjective does ''not'' mean that conversation and debate is encouraged there, either.). It also covers a broad spectrum of topics, meaning you can talk about pretty much anything you like. The forum is not, however, completely isolated from the wiki: as of recent, it has taken a vital role in the administration of the site; [[Trope]] renames, reworkings, and general wiki policies are all discussed in it. But enough gushing, for those people who don't want to read through the detailed [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13287249110A49840100&page=1#1 What Goes Where On The Forums] guide, let's have a quick overview:
-== '''Subforums:''' ==
-=== Wiki & Forums: ===
-{{smallcaps| [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=0000000000000000000000vy Trope Talk] }}<br />Here we discuss everything regarding [[Trope|tropes]]: are they good? bad? how to apply them? which are your favourite? and many more [[Trope]] related discussions.
-{{smallcaps| [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=00000000000000000000001j Sandbox] }}<br />For all your forum testing needs.
-{{smallcaps| [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=000000000000000000000000 Tech Wishlist & Bug Reports] }}<br />Think the wiki or the forum could use some extra feature? Found a part of the site that's screwing up? Add your suggestions/requests/reports here.

-{{smallcaps| [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=translations Translations] }}<br />Join the multi-language [[TV Tropes]] project! [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|The title is pretty self explanatory.]]
-{{smallcaps| [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=renames Trope Repair Shop] }}<br />This is where [[Trope]] renames, merges and splits are proposed, discussed, voted on, and decided. Since it deals with topics regarding the wiki, it is more serious than the rest of the forum, and off-topic posting is highly discouraged.
-{{smallcaps| [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=images Image Pickin'] }}<br />See a page without an image, or with an image that doesn't explain the [[Trope]] very well? Go here to help choose a good picture.
-{{smallcaps| [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=efforts Special Efforts] }}<br />A place to start large-scale wiki projects, requiring the aid of many editors. Discussions of changes to multiple articles or whole [[Namespace|namespaces]] go here.
-{{smallcaps| [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=5p Content Violation Discussions] }}<br />In this forum, the [[About/Five P|Five P]] discuss whether to cut certain pages for falling afoul of our [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=kiqoyj58taihfp8hpbezck0s&page=2#46 new content policy].

-{{smallcaps| [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=cobbies Old Folks' Home] }}<br />The old farts sitting around on the porch talking while the kids play tag and chase the dog and have squirt gun fights in the yard. If the kids want to come over and join the conversation, the adults won't chase them away, but they are expected to be calm and behave.
-{{smallcaps| [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=thetvshow TV Tropes The TV Show] }} <br />A place to discuss and develop [[TV Tropes the TV Show|the latest production of the TV Tropes team]]. This board has been archived.

-'''General Behaviour:'''
-The forum is generally easygoing. The [[TROPER|tropers]] posting there are usually polite and friendly, and they probably won't give you any trouble. Conversations on any subforums other than "On-Topic Conversations", "Image Pickin' " and "Trope Repair Shop" tend to switch topics both quickly and frequently, so it's a good idea to read at least the last page of any thread to know what's going on right now.
-This is not /b/, so please refrain from making offensive, badly spelled and completely random posts. There is no hierarchy in the forum, no postcount nor join date, and everybody owes everybody the same amount of respect. A short list of rules may be found [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=365rl6gt9w6vijv1envyi76j&page=1 here].
-No NSFW links in threads without warning people. This includes sites that have NSFW content and/or ads.
-There are moderators, who want nothing more than to have nothing to do except chat like everybody else. However, they can and will delete or edit offensive or insulting posts, lock threads that have turned ugly, issue warnings and for unacceptable behavior. and they can forum-ban for repeated or excessive unpleasantness.
-They're listed on the [[About/Know the Staff|Know the Staff]] page, and you can PM any of them with requests for intervention if you feel it's necessary. At the top of each post is a yellow triangle icon, This is the Holler button; it sends a post to a mods-only thread. Use it to report posts that break the rules; to ask for a crowner to be hooked or unhooked, or for a thread to be locked; or to ask for a mod to take a look at something in the forums on an official basis. Since all of the mods can see a post in the Hollers thread, the response will generally be faster than PM'ing a particular mod and hoping that they're online.
