I left, but I came back. In fact, I did it quite quickly. I guess I'm just addicted. I used to be called trlkly (which is my name on most other wikis), but I got really embarrassed one day when I got way too upset over somebody not liking my addition. It later became a good excuse to change my name to a WikiWord.
I guess I should live down my embarrassment like a man.
My main contributions to this wiki were the idea for the new forums and, of course, the search plugin below. I've done other stuff, (like make a lot of ptitles), but it's not really anything worth talking about.
I'm hoping to make my next contribution by getting this search engine built in to the wiki (or, at least, get its own page).
TV Tropes Search Plugin
I created a little search plugin, and I posted it on my website. I also uploaded it to a few other sites. Both are listed below.
- http://trlkly.drivehq.com/searchplugins
- http://searchplugins.net
- http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=tvtropes
Hopefully I'll be able to eventually get this on http://addons.mozilla.org, but, right now, they're still ironing out difficulties with user submitted search plugins. If my website is unreliable, you can follow my old instructions below.
Follow these instructions only if the above doesn't work.
Copy and paste the following into a file called

I almost forgot: you have to restart Firefox for it to work. It should work with Internet Explorer 7, but you'll have to figure out the instructions yourself.
