I think there might be something wrong with TV Tropes.

[Misterian]

Okay, I think someone was messing with the articles on TV tropes, I kept trying to look at some of the articles, but every one of them I entered told me that the article never existed and that I should edit it to fix the problem, but many of these articles I've been to several times before and they were filled to the brim with tropes.

Here's an example I found in Fluttershy from MLP's character article;

"We don't have an article named Characters/FriendshipIsMagicFluttershy. If you want to start this new page, just click the edit button above."

Does anyone know what's going on?

 

[RipRoaringWaterfowl]

I don't know, but even the page for just plain "Trope" is MIA.

It's as if TvTropes has imploded, if that is the word...

EDIT: I checked an index, it wasn't there, then I searched for the "Index Index", I got a search page, then it wouldn't load - I got a few different error messages instead.
Also, it kept taking longer than normal to load... and then it loaded a whole lot of nothing.

Oh, so it's not just me.

I hope it's just like a server problem or something, and that the articles aren't actually being deleted. I mean, now what am I supposed to do in class!

I just hope they get it up and running soon.

Well at the time of writing, going to the TvTropes main page just takes me to a page saying

"Please stand by. Upgrade underway".

Looks like it's a change to the website then.

 

[You Can't Take the Sky From Me]

Oh, good. I thought the problem was on my end... I cannot tell you how relieved I am that everyone else is as miserable as I am right now.

That screen is giving me Fallout 3 flashbacks. Oh God, I can't go back there, not after experiencing the wonder of the originals! Must......have........Will power!

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

Oh thank the world I though god had just cursed me!
Hopefully it goes back up soon, I need my fix.
I. Need. It.

 

[Miss G.]

Well, at least this thread saved me some trouble and feelings of frustration. Hopefully the site will be up and running and back to its fun, info-trope-filled glory.

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Seems like an upgrade.

Hopefully they're upgrading the moderation. And the forums. And the community.

Needless to say, I'm not that fond of Tvtropes.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Need... my... TVtropes... fix...

*twitch*

GIVE ME THE UPGRADE NOW! DX

Ahem...

Anyway, it does not seem like the site s broken, although I wish they put a warning about this.

I noticed this. Very glad it's an upgrade and not some massive hack. Some warning would have been nice though.

 

[Queen Michael]

TVtropes being down almost gave me a Heroic BSOD, but since I'm an Iron Woobie I'm still standing.

 

[Simple Bluff]

Oh my God.
Oh my God.

I WANT TO DIE

Edit:

I noticed this. Very glad it's an upgrade and not some massive hack...

Thank you for this info. You just saved my life.

*Takes off noose*

Well my fellow woobies, this may be our darkest hour, if someone is hacking t.v. tropes we may have to earn our happy ending, or else this is only a hope spot, in which case we will suffers the horrors of a downer ending, and cross the despair event horizon.

Hmm, on second thought maybe a break isn't such a bad thing after all *twitch* tropes will ruin your life *twitch* jerkass with a heart of gold.

 

[Olas]

I think there might be an upgrade underway.

Upgrades are, by definition, supposed to be good. So I'm excited. Until then I'm just going to pass the time by repeatedly clicking the refresh button in desperation.

I see it, what you did there. OT: I was wondering if this was going to get some attention or not, thought it was some kind of attack at first myself.

That post would have been better if all the tropes named linked to the actual trope pages.
