The site was founded by the users Gus (who died in 2006), [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Janitor Janitor] and [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FastEddie Fast Eddie]. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=tre37j53a6s51d6kg3geyeem] | |||
On January 12, 2008, the main database of the website malfunctioned, rendering all its contents unusable. Additionally, all backups since October 2007 were discovered to be corrupted, so the entire wiki was "warped" to the state of three months before. As of January 23, the damage is mostly cleaned up, as the community had joined forces in recovering the lost content from caches of other websites such as Google. Small formatting errors still persist. The incident has since become known as [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGreatCrash "The Great Crash"]. | On January 12, 2008, the main database of the website malfunctioned, rendering all its contents unusable.
