im actually incredibly grateful that tv tropes was my first substantial online experience
Wasn't my first substantial online experience, but definitely my first social one, and given what I've seen of the rest of the internet, I'm pretty sure I got lucky
The Moogle Cafe, then Caves of Narshe, then briefly Interordi / the Mega Man PC Website, and also associated IRC channels as well as that of Metroid2002 and the Castlevania Dungeon, maybe also briefly xkcd's forums, then finally TV Tropes. And then IJBM and HH after that, and small stints of MAL and Hummingbird, and too much Steam.
