==MediaWiki 1.5==

Will the H*R Wiki and the H*R Fanstuff Wiki be upgrading to [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.5 MediaWiki 1.5]?

While I'm here, I'll just outline some of the new features of 1.5:
*Able to edit the [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/MediaWiki:Sidebar sidebar] a whole lot easier
*Random [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Randompage/Image images], [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Randompage/Category categories], [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Randompage/User user pages], etc.
*Quickly [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Log/move revert moved pages] (for sysops)
*New image uploads only generate one entry in [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Recentchanges Recent Changes] instead of two
*Page moves are logged in [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=Stupidpage&action=history Page History]
*You can choose what name Images [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Upload upload as]
*Possible to choose the namespace in [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Recentchanges Recent Changes]
*A new Print tab

The [[Wikipedia:Main Page|English Wikipedia]] has already upgraded. -- [[User:Super Sam|Super Sam]] 13:30, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I'd suggest waiting a bit. MW 1.5 is still beta, and they keep discovering new and exciting bugs each time they upgrade a different Wikipedia. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 13:45, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I think if the Wikipedia has already upgraded, it's good enough for us. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 14:01, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::Yeah, it's still beta.  It looks great, but we are going to wait until it's a stable release.  And probably a itsy-bit longer.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:17, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::Wikipedia DELIBERATELY use the betas to help find and iron out bugs (after all, MediaWiki was developed for that site). Beta is not suitable for most sites, as there's almost guaranteed to be problems. --[[User:Pidgeot|Pidgeot]] <small>[[User_talk:Pidgeot|(t)]] [[Special:Contributions/Pidgeot|(c)]] <strike>(e)</strike></small> 15:34, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Remember that the Mediawiki developers and the Wikimedia technical crew are pretty well one and the same. When your sysadmins wrote the thing, you can live a little closer to the edge. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 02:08, 3 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::And just to drive the point home, MediaWiki 1.5b2 has been released, which fixes some exciting security holes, including at least one SQL injection bug. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 04:34, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::MediaWiki 1.5b3 is out.  I set a wiki up with it, but I still notice a few bugs.  But it looks great.  [[User:Ed smildE|<font face="tw cen mt">E<small>D</small>S<small>MILDE</small></font>]]
::Whatever happens, making it doesn't clear the history of the Fanstuff Wiki again. -- [[User:65.188.59.31|65.188.59.31]] 02:38, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Articles Needing Merging ==

I think we should have both a template, and a category for articles that need to be merged. For instance, [[Cardboard Marzipan]] should be merged with [[Minor Alternate Versions]] (yes, I know this has happened already.) I think the template would go something like this: <br>
<div class="boilerplate metadata" style="padding: .1em; margin: 3px; width: auto; background: #EDF1F1; border: 1px solid #999999; text-align: center;">
<small>'''This article, <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>, is up for merging with <nowiki> [[{{{1}}}]]. To voice your opinions on this, please see this page's [[Talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk article]]</nowiki>'''</small></div>
[[:Category:Articles Needing Merging]] <br> <br>
Anybody have any opinions on this? --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 17:31, 7 July 2005 (BST)

:Note that we have [[HRWiki:Projects#Things to Merge]] and [[HRWiki:Cleanup#Merge and Redirect]] already.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:20, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I didn't know that. I guess I should go look around the wiki a bit more. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 16:58, 6 July 2005 (BST)

== The System Is Down, Yo ==

Homestarrunner.com seems to be down intermittently. And before sbemail133 comes out. It did the same thing last night. Blasted bandwidth issues... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:51, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)


What? When did that happen? I never got that problem. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 20:45, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

On Monday when he wrote it? -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 03:51, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

It's been over a week since TBC have updated the site as of July 11<sup>th</sup> to today. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 17:48, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Tell TBC about the wiki?==
I got an idea, but I couldn't think of anywhere else to post it. So anyway, on the end credits on a [http://www.bonusstages.com/bs60.html certain episode of BonusStage], the creator mentions the [http://www.bswiki.com The Bonus Stage Wiki] and says that the wiki is creepy. Because he knows about a wiki for ''his'' cartoon, do TBC know about theirs? If not, maybe we should tell them about what I just wrote, and maybe they'll list us in the credits of one of the toons. I'm not really saying that it's a good idea, but just curious to see what anyone else thinks. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 02:41, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I think if they notice us on their own, fine, but we should otherwise leave them alone and let them do what they do best. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:57, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::The Chaps are already aware of the wiki. Tom and I have each had brief contact with the Chaps and Craig Zobel through email. Tom also had the opportunity to meet the Chaps at a presentation they gave at NYU, and they discussed the wiki. I don't think it would be appropriate to expect any recognition from them. We're the fans and they are the artists. We're here to give them recognition, not the other way 'round. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:13, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Interesting about the creep wiki comment. I'd say TBC might say the same about this wiki. I hadn't heard of BonusStage, looks pretty cool!

What about the fanstuff? Do they know about that? -- [[User:Strong Lad|Strong Lad]]

:Yeah, they know about fanstuff. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:48, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Maybe you just mistyped it, or confused it with another password. Just try again. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:59, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Updates ==

TBC havn't made any new updates on the site lately other than Quote of the Week, Fan Stuff and Sketch Book. I'm getting impatient!!
:They just skipped a week, that's all. Just wait til tomorrow: Monday, the day they usually update.

== Typo on the Main Page ==

Hey, just wanted to let the powers that be know that there is a typo on the main page, in the "featured article" section regarding Strong Sad's Lament. It reads "It originated with in the email website", whereas it should read either "It originated in the email website", "It originated with the email website", or "It originated within the email website". Whoever has access to modify this page please correct this. Thanks!

&mdash;[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 13:33, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Fixed, thanks. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:55, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Okay, so what's the deal??!! ==

I don't mean to sound rude, but I don't know WHAT PAGE TO PUT THIS ON!!??!! But, anyway, to answer the question ONCE AND FOR ALL! Who's all of the CHARACTER'S PARENTS??!!! They have millions of references, and stuff, but WHO THE HECK ARE THEY??!!! ARE THEY REAL??!! I just want to know the FRIGGIN' DEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAALLLLL!!!! Please? - [[User:Brittany|Brittany]] - "I'm 12 years old. Am I the youngest here?"
:No one has ever seen or heard of any of main character's parents, so we don't know who they are. - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''
::We've heard "of" Strong Mom in a few cartoons. But nothing concrete. Other than her existence. Maybe. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 08:21, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::: It's a cartoon. Cartoons can have flexible realities. The fact that the Strongs live with their mother, yet she's never seen, is okay because it's a cartoon... You know what would be interesting? If Senor Cardgage were the Strong's father.
:::: We've seen two different versions of Pom Pom's parents - differently-colored Poms in [[Isle of Pom]] and a file cabinet in Strong Bad's hypothetical scenario in [[Family Resemblence]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:37, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Brittany, even if your quote had not said so, I'm sure everyone who reads these boards could tell you were twelve years old. Please do not shout, and try to limit yourself to one exclamation point at a time. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 06:46, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Trelawney, this question has already been taken care of.  If all you have to add are rude comments, please keep them to yourself.  Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:00, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Sorry. I was just trying to help. I wasn't saying it in a rude way. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 05:42, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:It's okay.  Just keep in mind that when you leave a comment, people can't see you or know for sure your mood. Irony isn't always obvious, and blunt, raw text can easily appear rude.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:11, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Point taken, I beat my breast. Figuratively. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 06:38, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Another Archive ==

I think some more sections on this page should be archived again.  Maybe the first 20 or so.  This page is already twice as large as the archive, and it always shows the large page warning since it's 76 KB.  [[User:Ed smildE|<font face="tw cen mt">E<small>D</small>S<small>MILDE</small></font>]]

:Perhaps we should archive this page similar to the way the [[HRFWiki:Talk:Main Page|fanstuff page]] is archived. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 12:34, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Alrighty, it's been a week, so I went and created archives in groups of 20. They're easily accessible at the top of the page. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 07:56, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Dudes!!! ==

i &hearts; homestarrunner and crap...but...STRONG BAD DOESN'T ANSWER MY EMAILS!!!

:Join the club. Better yet, [[Special:Userlogin|join the wiki]] and sign your posts. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:22, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Dont blame him.  The site is so popular that he gets thousands every day. Imagine, because after '''every''' email the paper comes down with the link to email him. Give him a break.

''Posted by Martin F.''

== marshmallow discrepency ==

the main page has this blurb from the featured article about Marshmallow's last stand, but the text in the blurb does not match the text in the article.  what gives?

:The blurb on the main page is just a summary, not the beginning of the article. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 12:52, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Exactly. On larger articles, the first paragraph usually suffices. But in some specialty articles, the opening paragraph is neither long enough nor fully explanitory, which then calls for some tweaking specifically for the Main Page summary. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:17, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== So much freedom? ==

I love how anyone can edit things whenever we want to on HRWIKI, but dont you think thats a lot of risks? someone stupid and careless can easily take the pages and erase them or say something wrong. Is there a way to stop that?

''Posted by Martin F.'' (I've been putting this signature until I get my username updated lol)

:Stopping vandalism and other inappropriate edits is easy. First of all, there's strength in numbers. The vast majority of users are not stupid or careless, and are willing to patrol the wiki to protect it from those who are. The main tool for this is the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes page]], which allows users to monitor the current edits. Reverting a page that has been vandalized is a simple and straightforward procedure. All in all, the risk isn't that great, and the freedom of the wiki more than makes up for the necessity of having to keep an eye on things. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:47, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Eggs a running gag? ==

I seem to have found some evidence of eggs being a running gag. First their is [[Strong Bad's EGGS]], then there is Homestar's mentioning of dot-egg from [[pom pom]], then there is the eggs for sale for $EGG from [[garage sale]]. Anyone with me? --[[User:Strong Rad|Strong Rad]] 03:18, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I noticed it too. But this is more of an inside joke than a running gag. It's not ''that'' funny, but i guess it is to the Chappos. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:24, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

OK, I'll continue the search using the query "eggs -easter". I'll report any new items I see on <del>my user page</del> [[Eggs| this page]]. --[[User:Strong Rad|Strong Rad]] 02:34, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

PS: Whoever added the Eggs page to the Inside Jokes category, thanks.

:That would be {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} (according to the page history) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:27, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:No, Thank you. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:12, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== New Updates ==

I think the Strong Sad's Lament update (August 15, 2005) should be edited to contain this:

*[[Strong Sad's Lament]]: Stats n' Stumps
*[[Strong Sad's Lament]]: New quote and picture

-- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 08:13, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

*Well I don't have that much of a preferance one way or another, but if you do, go back over the dates of the known avatars, and add them to the correct days as well in the Updates Archives. (Just the ones with a specific date on them) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:11, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Link on user page to user website ==

For the lack of a better place to post this, I posted it here, well can I post my website on my user page. --[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 00:24, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:You can't copy your website onto it, but you can link to it there. - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''

Cool. That's what I meant anyway, thanks!--[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 00:27, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

As i typed in hrwiki.org today, i got a strange error message :

I know i typed in the address right, i even typed it in again.. i typed in the entire thing.. http://www.hrwiki.org and i got the exact message. then i googled hrwiki and the first one came up as the right site you know, and i click on that and everything is fine. i'm so confused.. has anyone ever seen this before? is this some sort of spyware on my computer or something? did i actually type in the right address? am i putting this in the right section anyway??? --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 03:38, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:What time of day did you get the error?  And for how long?  I just upgraded to [[Special:Version|version 1.4.8]] about five minutes ago.  We were only not up and running for about 2 seconds, and the errors you would have received were PHP errors, not cPanel errors.  Are you sure about the domain?

::well it was 9:35 PM (mountain time, i dont know what time it is on the wiki) and it was only for a few seconds.. I looked at my history and under hrwiki.org is the cpanel error, and under www.hrwiki.org i get the real site. i dont know how you can get to an entirely different site from just not typing in www. i tried it just now without the www and here i am, no problems. I'm using IE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633 so basically ie 6.0 ^_^ --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 05:07, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Image==

Ummm... for some reason I can't save that image on the sidebar (HRWiki logo). Is it protected or something? I had to make a .tif file of it.

:No, it's just embedding into the page differently (something like that). If you have Firefox, you can go to Tools > Page Info > Media and in the list somewhere will be [http://www.hrwiki.org/skins/common/images/wiki.png the logo]. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 06:15, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Linking to fanstuff and forum ==
I have a little suggestion. Maybe someone should link the [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum] and the [http://www.fanstuff.hrwiki.org fanstuff wiki] to the main page, because I didn't notice the forum until I took a good look at the welcome message, and I didn't notice the fanstuff wiki until I was browsing around people's user pages. --{{User:RJMT/sig}} 03:15, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:They're both linked on the sidebar (under "external links"). I don't know how they could be any more visible than that. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:17, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)
i dont know i dont think so

== LOOK AT THIS ==

I was just reading an interview where it says:
(quote on quote)

"Of course, there are times when we think, why can't Strong Sad just say: '****! I hate this bull****!' There are countless outtakes of that kind of stuff. We were thinking of making The Swear Episode, where they just cut loose after all this time."

TBC had said this in an interview, and I am not only shocked, but relieved that they did not submitt a toon like that.

:Scary... but I was aware of this. What interview is this exactly? - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''

I think this is the website[http://www.flakmag.com/features/homestar.html]. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 02:19, 9 Sep 2005 (UTC)

*Oh, come on people. They ARE adults you know. Besides, I always believed that they were kidding around about that, which they're allowed to, as they are GROWN MEN. Geez, grow up and take a joke, people. It's not like they're REALLY going to make a "Swear Episode" ;) --[[User:Bottles98|Bottles98]] 16:06, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

All I have to say it.. calm down! We know there grown men, we weren't saying that it was the end of the world. People are allowed to have comments you know. -{{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 17:58, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

TBC wouldn't really make a swear episode anyway. They've said themselves that their humor just isn't that profane (in so many words). And if they happened to make one, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. I have to admit though, it is refreshing to see online toons that are able to be funny without profanity. -Jazz Daddy

== Livemark feed failed to load? ==

Why is it, that every time I try and add the Recent changes RSS feed to my live bookmarks in Firefox, that I get the error "livemark feed failed to load"? I tried in Google Desktop Search Beta 2, and got an "unsupported web clip version" error. If I try and open the RSS feed with Firefox (not adding to livemarks) I get this text (without viewing the source):

:::Considering this page suffers from the same "issue", I'm guessing the very first line of index.php is blank. If this is the case, deleting it should fix the problem - if it's not, look at includes/Feed.php next for the same symptom.

:::::Alpha versions will usually not be released publicly, mainly since there's a rather high risk of problems - although there's always CVS is one wants to experiment. I imagine they're very close to releasing the the final version of 1.5, since they usually run the latest possible version on Wikipedia - if 1.5 was not ready, they would not switch to a new alpha.
:::::At any rate, the problem seems to be in a different file than Feed.php, since the blank line is also visible on this page.
:::::I tried booting Apache and opening up my own MediaWiki installation (1.4.5), but the error is not visible on my side. Therefore, it's either been introduced somewhere between 1.4.5 and 1.4.9, or is something that ended up here somehow.
:::::You should be able to catch the culprit if you run <code>diff</code> on the distribution and compare it with the 1.4.9 release - if you don't have access to a system with <code>diff</code>, I can do it (I will do it nine times), pending a copy of the current installation. --[[User:Pidgeot|Pidgeot]] <small>[[User_talk:Pidgeot|(t)]] [[Special:Contributions/Pidgeot|(c)]] [[Special:Emailuser/Pidgeot|(e)]]</small> 23:03, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Fanstuff Timezone ==

Hey, I was wondering if it is appropriate for the fanstuff wiki's timezone to be UTC, not MDT. UTC is used on the knowledge-base, so wouldn't it make sense for the default timezone of the fanstuff wiki to be UTC? This would change the time displayed in the history for logged out users, and also would change the timezone used in signatures for all users. [[User:203.208.88.138|203.208.88.138]] 04:23, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Hosting ==

Are the two wikis still hosted on Goleman Networks? Because in the source code of any wiki page there used to be a message saying something like "Served by Goleman Networks in 0.22 secs" but now says "Served by fsserver1.fellowsites.org in 0.22 secs". If its hosted by Fellowsites, the message in the footer on the knowledge-base and fanstuff wiki be changed. Or am I missing something (I don't know a lot of stuff about servers and hosting and stuff)? [[User:203.208.88.138|203.208.88.138]] 04:36, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Regular Easter Egg feature ==

I'd like to suggest a new section on the main page that details easter eggs within random tunes/emails. I actually think this could replace the "featured" part of the page and would be appealing to fans, who might not have spotted them all.

:It could just be me, but I'm not really clear on what it is you're suggesting. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:44, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Random Toon==

[[Random Toon]] should really be on the [[Main Page]], along with [[Quote of the Week]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], and [[Sketchbook]]. Which means we would have to rename their section, 'Weeklies'. Anybody got an idea or opinion on how we should change this? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:09, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Why should we change this? The other three articles are updated every week. Except for housekeeping, Random Toon isn't updated at all. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:15, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::True, but [[Legal]] is on the main page. And that's updated FAR less than [[Random Toon]]. It seems as though if it's linked to from their Main Page, we do the same on ours. Which leaves just the [[Random Toon]]. Besides, It's not like people use the links there to access the newest [[Quote of the Week]] or [[Sketchbook]]. They follow the link at the 'What's New' section like everybody else. And additionally, where else is [[Random Toon]] linked to? If somebody looks on the website, finds the [[Random Toon]] button on there, and then come here to find out about it, where would they look for the page? Does any of this make sense? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:30, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::Random Toon is linked on [[Main Pages]] in the section at the top about the four buttons. Legal, on the other hand, is not linked to from any article page. In addition, all the links on our front page link to articles about the ''content'' of the various buttons, whereas Random Toon seems to me to be an article about the button itself. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:45, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::Well the button itself IS the content of what [[Random Toon]] is. It has no page of it's own. But it does have the button. Come to think of it, it's in the exact same boat as the other weeklies, they don't have pages either. Just pop up boxes. And Legal is far more useless of a page than 'Random Toon'. Why exclude just ONE link from their main page from being on ours? I really think it makes sense to link the Random Toon button on the main page. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:59, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::I realize that this isn't my arguement, but the Random toon is on the navbar, and is also on the weeklies bar.  It should be linked on the main page. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 20:01, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::::What do you mean this isn't your argument? You're welcome to add to any and every discussion on a public talk page, and most of the time even on other users' talk pages when you're not directly involved. To speak to your point, however, I think TBC only stuck the random button in their weeklies section because they didn't have a better place to put it. I think the fact that it's not actually a weekly feature means it shouldn't go in ''our'' weeklies section. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:10, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::::I think Random has a place on the main page, but at the top in the main menu instead of in the weeklies section.  It seems to fit there better. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 20:15, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::::::Yes, It probably be under miscellaneous. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 20:18, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::::Well that's why I'm suggesting the name change from 'weeklies'. If it was already named 'The Little Circle Buttons On The Top Of The Main Page', there'd be no question to add it there. I really don't think miscellaneous is the right section for it. It's part of the four button set. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:21, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::But it's also part of the navbar, and the sbemail menu. Look at the main page now, up at the top right. What do you think? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:24, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::::(Edit conflict with above) I was actually talking about the Main Menu, above the blue and red boxes.  I can see why you want it with the weeklies, but I think it just fits in the grand scheme of things better at the top.  I think we may need some fresh ideas in this thread as well.  {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 20:26, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::I tried it under 'Popups'. I think it's got a nice ring to it. And it is what they have in common. So which one should we go with? I really feel strongly about Popups. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:28, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::::::Despite the negative connotation I have with the word 'popup', it really does fit. I kinda like it. And Random Toon ''does'' need to be mentioned. It's an integral part of their main page(s); why not ours? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::::::::::Er, I guess you guys completely skipped over my post four above this one. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::::::::::::Oh. It's already there. Colour me unobservant. In that case, I retract my previous statement, and humbly retreat to my merely lurking around this article instead of talking. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::::::::I really don't like "popups." The three weekly links were unified in the fact that they are actually updated weekly. Trying to stretch a description onto all four buttons just doesn't seem to fit to me. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:45, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::::Well you already know my opinion on it, but I still think that it looks better under Popups, dot com. They're still unified in the fact that they're four buttons, isolated in look, at the top. If you go by updated weekly, you could almost have added [[Strong Sad's Lament]] for a while there. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:48, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::The fact is that it can't stay the way it is, because it's already been changed ''twice''. First by me, then by Thunderbird. The question is, which link do we like better? The "Random Button" up at the top that matches the navbar (which was also updated), or the "popups" version that matches the buttons. We shouldn't have it on there twice, should we? It doesn't seem like it should. To tell the truth, the "popups" version is growing on me, although I'm still not crazy about the name... ;) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:32, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::Yes! I knew it! Sorry for the late reply, I had to go out for a while. If you're asking my opinion though, it remains the same. Along with the other Popups, under whichever name. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:24, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::To clarify, there are ''two'' links to [[Random Toon]] on the main page now (one is along the top and called "Random Buttons", the other is with the three weekly items under popups in the pink box). There should probably only be one. We know what the people who have already commented think. Now we need to know what others think, so please post your opinions below. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:39, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Sorry I never spoke up on this issue. My vote would've been for exactly what you did, Thunderbird, namely removing the random toon from the main navigation and leaving it in the Popups section. I also like the change from "Weeklies" to "Popups". I really appreciate that you wanted Tom or me to weigh in on this, but I'm glad you went through with the change without waiting on us. Your opinion is just as important as ours, and we'll always back you up on any mission critical decision you make like this one. Good work. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 16:22, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Strong Sad's Lament==

Why ''isn't'' Strong Sad's Lament linked on the main page? It's been updated at least as much as Marzipan's Answering Machine. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:52, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Uhoh.. Hmmm... I think this conversation has become decidedly more complex. Well I think it's safe to say Strong Sad's Lament is on hiatus again, possibly. I just don't know what to do about SSL though. I think it's safe to leave it off for now, it's not linked on their main page. And whenever it is updated, you can just follow the link on the 'What's New' section. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:55, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::I think that SSL may be updated even [more] then Marzipans answering machine. Just thought to point that out. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 20:56, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::But I think it falls under [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. They're both updated periodically, but not Main Page material. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:58, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::I disagree. Stinkoman will come to an end with the next level. Strong Sad's blog could be updated indefinitely.

However, there ''' ''may'' ''' be people who like to use categories or know vaguely what their looking for without knowing what it's called.  My suggestion is this: we can have a cut and dry "Category Browsing Page" with all of these boring links (and any technical information that may have some highly structured ordering to it), and then we can either discretely link it on the main page somewhere (we don't want it to gain prominence and then have people mistakenly use it as the primary means of browsing), or place it as a feature of the navigation toolbox bars.  --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:25, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Then look at our list of said inside jokes that is linked to at the bottom of the page. Or go to "Characters," scroll down and choose Character Evolution.

maybe your right anyway, here's the website:
Over and out, I gotta get some breakfast ( It's like 5:56 AM ) 

http://b.domaindlx.com/sbmail200/sbmatrix.swf <--- Right click and select save as

E-mail me and tell me what you think

:Well, it didn't work for me, but with a seek bar I was able to have a look. My guess is it is just something a fan made, not something TBC made. Which means it never got "censored". Can anyone who watched it please tell me if the toon had authentic voices (and not just sound clips swiped from other toons, original, never before heard on H*R.com, authentic voices). If it does, then it probably was made by TBC, if not or if there isn't any voices at all it is most likely fan made. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 12:10, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Im not sure why just playing the file does not work but with WM player classic you can skip the green preview screen thingy and just view the rest of the file.

:Right now the host's bandwidth has been exceeded and no one can view it right now. Can you email it to me? (joshua368@gmail.com) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 12:18, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::It is indeed fanstuff.  I managed to get it before the bandwidth was exceeded.  It doesn't have any voices, just a song by evanescence and the names of presumably the people who made it.  It uses the original graphics from H*R toons and is meant to be watched inside an HTML page much like an SBEmail.  It is, of course 4MB in size despite its short playing time (possibly from the song it plays). Oh yeah for me, to play it, I had to right click on the swf and click "play", because it was set to "loop" by default. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 12:21, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

If you guys want it any more today your going to have to send it to other people as you receve it, I won't be here

I know what this is all about. In the times of the .net forum, one user made a page about Strong Bad Matrix. He had all the plot figured out and everything. He made the treiler for it using  TBC's own graphics, not his own. The guy got an email from their legal edviser asking him to make his own toon fron scratch, or stop everything. After that, the story got all blurry (No one wanted to talk about it). But I do know that some T-shirts with Strong Bad Matrix logo were supposed to be sold, and that raised more legal issues. Anyway, the project was terminated and the file can only be found on file-shering programs. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 12:35, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I recall reading the exact same thing somewhere, it could have been while I was going through LiveJournals getting the old updates or something. This guy was all excited about the 'Strong Bad Matrix' or something, and then eventually he said that the project was in permanent limbo due to legal issues. I'm quite sure [[User:E.L. Cool|El Coolio]] is right. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 14:40, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Happy 100th Boithday! ==

I figured it would be fitting to make a signature page for everyone to celebrate HRWiki's 2-nniversary and congratulate the staff and everyone who's contributed (each an every one of us) for a Jorb Well Done!  I couldn't make up my mind (as usual) so I just decided to make this section in the main page talk. (If it gets big, we can move it and point to it from here).
