History JustForFun / WeirdestInboundLinkOfTheDay

Check [[http://www.fanhistory.com/wiki/LadySybilla this]] out. It's a page on notorious ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' fanficcer Lady Sybillia, and it features a troper-written description that used to be on SmallNameBigEgo.

We're linked from the [[http://blogs.abc.net.au/canberra/2009/12/dan-browned.html website for a Canberra morning radio show]] that took the old definition of DanBrowned and made it a call-in feature

May 19th:We have been getting various links to DanBrowned (like [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/today/tomfeilden/2009/05/does_it_matter_about_antimatte.html here]] and [[http://io9.com/5256841/this-may-come-as-a-shock-the-anti+matter-science-in-angels--demons-is-wrong here]] (both in comments), but plenty of single hits as well) thanks a new movie based on a book of Creator/DanBrown's not doing the research.

10/9: @/{{Telcontar}}: The Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} article for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_activity_suit space activity suits]] uses our LatexSpaceSuit page as a cite note.

29 March 2008: Wiki/TheOtherWiki has apparently found us [[Administrivia/ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability notable]] enough to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Tropes_Wiki list us]]. At least two tropers find this ironic. A request has been for anybody who can to help out.

@/{{Deuxhero}}:They didn't just reference us, they ''cited'' us. This should be used on Wiki/TheOtherWiki's page on us.

The ''Transformers'' [[http://tfwiki.net/ wiki]] now has a link to {{Narm}} in one of its page tags which indicates a corruption during software update knocked the page back to where it was last June (saying the page was "NARM'd by by the Bookworm Virus which reset Wiki/TFWikiDotNet back to June 2008"). [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sari_Sumdac This one]], for example.

28 Jan 06 [[http://chi.flavorpill.net/current.jsp winner]]. (search page for "tricked-out", click "anime") This puppy has sent 20K+ hits to the wiki and counting.

20th March[[http://www.cracked.com/article_21033_5-creepy-cartoon-fan-theories-that-make-way-too-much-sense.html Cracked.com]] linked to WMG.DextersLab on one of its fan theory articles (more specifically a "X character has Asperger's" entry).

Tropers/{{G-Mon}}: [[http://www.cracked.com/forums/index.php?topic=60280.msg1381408;boardseen Apparently they're having a "Best of TV Tropes" topic on the Cracked.com forums.]] The first link was to ThrowItIn, but currently (Jan 1, 2010, ~4:45 PM CST) RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun is getting the most hits from them. Also, there's yet another example of TVTropesWillRuinYourLife in the third post.

Tropers/{{G-Mon}}: Wow, that site's ''still'' bringing us links? Well, at least the people coming in from there [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife won't be going back for a while]]....

@/{{SAMAS}}: On a ''much'' more lighthearted note, the link to SpikesOfDoom from [[http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2009/08/mac-os-x-10-6.ars/11 this]] article. What gets me is that is has nothing to do with tropes or movies, or games or anything. It's a review of an ''Operating System''. So it's like he just put it there [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife to be a dick. ^_^]]

4 May 2008: Some people on the [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Giant in the Playground forums]] (where this site is fairly well known) are actually using the Pantheon/TropePantheons page to make a trope-based RPG. Awesome.

2/23: There's [[http://animeng.blog5.fc2.com/blog-entry-795.html this FC2 (Japanese blog)]] linking to GhibliHills. Currently OneHundredEight inbound as of 4 PM Pacific Time.

@/PhoenixFire: The LA Times did an [[http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-ca-tropes28-2010feb28,0,4476148.story article about us]] on February 28th. They don't seem to have really gotten the hang of "TropesAreNotBad"...

Dec. 21, 2008: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBPzayKtpi0 An (old) mention by a vlogger.]] Doesn't quite grasp that TropesAreNotBad, though.

@/{{Earnest}}: (November 3rd, 2011) Reading through the list of commonly used tropes on ''ScoobyDoo'' is now [[http://www.ya-honk.net/2011/11/03/orestes-doo-where-are-you/ part of the homework]] for a college class on Classical literature.

June 4th: ''Reddit.com'' has gotten us some 400+ inbound links to YouFailEconomicsForever. They seem to have a [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Economics/comments/8pmpt/the_nice_thing_about_mathematics_and_other_hard/ large number of hard science buffs]] who snigger at "2 + 2 = 4". Hmm, maybe add that in as a hottip?

@/{{Tzetze}}: [[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-news/6274053/The-20-worst-science-and-technology-errors-in-films.html The Daily Telegraph.]] They even used the word "{{egregious}}".

4 May 2008: Some people on the [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Giant in the Playground forums]] (where this site is fairly well known) are actually using the TropePantheons page to make a trope-based RPG. Awesome.

@/{{Medinoc}}: ''particularly'' egregious. [[TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame That's * four* drinks!]]

February 2009: TanzderVampire is now the FIRST image result when you Google search "vampire". No wonder it keeps getting hits.

3 June 2008: Why, I wondered, was TanzDerVampire, an Austrian musical (a bit outside our usual range of popularity), tenth on the BigHitters list? Almost certainly because it's fourth for "vampire" on Google Images search. More impressively, the picture has only been up for around half the lifetime of the list.

Mar.12:[[Tropers/IlVit Il Vit]]: Apparently, [[Creator/WizardsOfTheCoast Research and Development]] (of [[MagicTheGathering Magic]] fame) likes TV Tropes, as [[http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/rc/238 this article on combo decks]] with a link to NoodleIncident at the bottom has brought in the most people today (so far).

8/24: @/{{TropeEater}}: KnowYourMeme article on "[[StupidSexyFlanders Everyone's gay for]] [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Bridget]]" linked to the page "Dropped A Bridget On Him", which not only had little to do with the meme, but was renamed a long time ago to UnsettlingGenderReveal.

December 12, 2014: @/{{Reterusu}}: HonorBeforeReason is getting 360 refferals today from mobile Website/{{Facebook}}. Why?

@/{{Kerrah}}: BadassOfTheWeek linked us in the article for [[http://www.badassoftheweek.com/shinohara.html Hiromichi Shinohara]], released friday, 4th of December.

September 20, 2009: Apparently, there's this thing called "Stumbleupon" that we've been put on. Oddly, the one that's getting the most inbound links is HistoryOfEnglish, with over 2000--the only other one with 1000 is ''Series/DoctorWho'', also through stumbleupon.

@/NotSoBadassLongcoat: Nov 6, 2009. Thirty seven references to {{Shotacon}} from boyloverlinks? They must be having real [[HaveAGayOldTime Gay Old Time]] there...

August 25th: {{Shotacon}} is getting hits from... "boyloverlinks". [[{{Squick}} Ewwwwwwww]]. I feel like I'm going to get arrested for clicking on that.

20-AUG-07:@/{{Seth}}:Is anyone else worried we get more hits for BrotherSisterIncest and {{Lolicon}} off google than almost anything else?

'''@/KhymChanur''': Well, you also have to consider what rank the wiki gets for certain search terms: if it gets a low ranking, then not that many of the people searching for that term will go through enough pages of search results to get to our listing, but if it gets a high ranking then a very large percentage of the people who search for that term will click through to the wiki. For example, the term "lolicon" just by itslef ranks the wiki's {{Lolicon}} page as #31 at Google, but MagicalGirl isn't in the first 270 hits for Google, so anyone interested in lolicon will check out our page, but people interested in magical girls will have had their fill of magical girl pages before they find us. Also, we come in #29 for the phrase "brother sister incest", #5 for the word combination "incest brother" and #1 for "incest tv" (though only #151 for "incest sister", and that's the discussion page).

[[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony's]] rather understandable [[http://twitter.com/TheSpoonyOne/status/21453522591547392 reaction]] to his show's FetishFuel page.

@/{{Katrika}}: Now we have some [[http://realwrestlecrap.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=WWE&action=display&thread=239113 wrestling forum]] linking to us for FetishFuel.

@/{{Deuxhero}}:They didn't just reference us, they ''cited'' us. This should be used on TheOtherWiki's page on us.

29 March 2008: TheOtherWiki has apparently found us [[Administrivia/ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability notable]] enough to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Tropes_Wiki list us]]. At least two tropers find this ironic. A request has been for anybody who can to help out.
