Not sure if anybody has found this yet, but I was looking around the tropes list, minding my own business when suddenly I spotted this...

Actually, I was unaware of it until Rakala's post. Some of us newbies are still stumbling around the site lurking and archive-diving. Well, at least I am...

Yeah, I notice a lot of people using the language from that website--the names of the tropes and all.  :P

The DMFA page is how I found the webcomic.   I've added examples to both the DMFA page and other pages, where appropriate.

Is this a bad thing (just asking)? It seems to me it gives a common definition that would help people in a discussion clarify their meaning, perhaps avoiding misunderstandings.

Then again, someone going out of their way to insert a Trope in their post for the sake of sounding smart or to be cute would get rather annoying after a while.

Mmm, tropes.

It mentions there are five or more hidden pages, but I've ever only personally ever heard of three. Which doesn't mean anything significant, just, I want to know if there are more.

If someone could confirm the number of hidden pages (er, if it's allowed, or if it has to be through PM that'd be cool too?), I'd appreciate it. I like hunting them down.

I added that bit after people started talking about the hidden pages.  I believe someone mentioned five pages :/  I could be wrong :B

On a related note, someone needs to update the bonus comics section :3

Yes, 5 was mentioned. No doubt it's a cake number.
