TVTropes Link

I ended up finding this site through a link that showed up on TVTropes. It had a picture of Mr. A, and I figured it was some sort of news on TvTropes. I got to this site and I've been fascinated. But, since then I haven't seen the link anywhere. And, I'm wondering if it was just some sort of add put on TvTropes or what? Anyone else know the answer to this.

P.S. if this doesn't belong in Off Topic, I will gladly move it.

It is Mr. A trying to get more players for us here by putting more ads on TV Tropes. It all started with the banner that said there was an announcement from him. He is just at it again.

There's the "It has only just begun" that's permanently hoovering above the sidebar there. Nothing new after that, I think.

Interesting... Oddly it disappeared for me. Maybe because I clicked on it. How is he putting them there anyway? Is he paying for adds?

It still shows up for me. I tried clicking on it and seeing if it was still there, and it was.

This whole thing grew out of Echo Chamber, which was commissioned by TVTropes, so I'm assuming that the ad is just TVTropes playing along with something it kind of created.

It's gone on the main page. But it's still showing on the other pages. At least on my chrome... I'm not testing it too seriously...

I'm just not sure what to think of it. Seems a bit unusual. Just not something I've seen before. Still, it's probably not important.

I've been seeing that sidelink too. It's pretty neat.
