Coupla days. But it turns out TVtropes is big enough that the Internet
now notices when Google starts getting into corporate censorship.
Also, the Tropers were more than a little annoyed at the response of
the site's founder and proprietor.

The site is CC by-sa, but I don't think there are downloadable dumps
or anything.
