If you go to the tvtropes.org, a cult classic website, you will get addicted

Telling people tvtropes.org, the both famous and infimous cult classic, is an addictive wiki is trollish and misleading, because it gives the idea of 'for a wiki', and also, that it is far less addictive than it really is; tvtropes.org is one of the most addictive websites, in fact, it is addictive in general, so don't be troll when telling people about tvtropes.org, as friends don't give friends crippling addiction's not to mention anyone who gives a stranger a crippling addiction is just a jerk.
