Line 13: Thanks to [http://boingboing.net/2004/03/11/tv-cliches-catalogue.html BoingBoing.net], he became a troper on the original [[TV Tropes]] wiki in the summer of 2004 -- an unimaginably primitive time when it was hosted on the long-gone sytes.net and [http://web.archive.org/web/20040617082818/http://tvwiki.sytes.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheContributors there were less than sixty tropers in existence] ''including'' the admins. For a short time in the late 2000s he actually served as a minor TV Tropes staff member. As of May 2012 he was, to the best of his ability to determine, the single oldest remaining active member of the TV Tropes wiki outside of the administrators. He is personally responsible for ~~writing~~creating nearly six hundred pages on that wiki, including almost a dozen [[Tropes of Legend]].<ref>At the time of the fork in 2012, that was over 1% of the entire wiki's content. That may not sound impressive, but it took nearly ''60,000'' other users to create the remaining 99%.</ref> In response to finding an empty page labeled "Anime" during his first visit, he spent his first few weeks on the wiki creating the entire [[Anime]] section from scratch -- including the now-infamous [[Naughty Tentacles]] page responsible for TV Tropes' infamous [[TV Tropes/The Second Google Incident\|"Second Google Incident"]] eight years later in Spring 2012. He coined the first "Absurdly X" trope name ([[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]) as part of that effort, unwittingly inspiring an untold number of [[Snowclone]]s. He also created the first trope with a name in the form "Instant X, Just Add Y" -- [[Instant AI, Just Add Water]] -- spawning an entirely different set of Snowclones. He accidentally created the entire [[Useful Notes]] hierarchy by writing a (now long gone) page called "Useful Notes On Japan". This inspired other people to write their own useful notes about other cultures/topics until there were so many it was necessary to make an entire branch of the wiki to store them. He was also for many years inexplicably credited with coining the phrase [[Wiki Magic]] on TV Tropes (and thus inspiring the corresponding trope entry), but quite honestly he was quoting Webmonkey Gus (an early alias for the person better known as "Fast Eddie"). Oh, and while he's not the only culprit, he's one of the people to blame for the [[egregious]] overuse of the word "[[egregious]]" both here and on TVT, at least initially.
