Editing User talk:OptimisticFool

== Welcoming ==

Just to let you know, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Corruption&oldid=592716 this] edit undermines our standards for welcoming. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}
:Ummm, it does not. That was a helpful welcome.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:34, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

Thanks for sorting out that [[pop-up]] commentary transcript... I had a really hard time telling them apart there.  (and sorry about the --mdash; thing, I tried to search-and-replace the -- right after I saved it, and didn't notice I'd messed it up).  {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 05:10, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, after transcribing so many DVD commentaries, I've got their voices pretty much figured out.  And I've gotten tired of transcribing DVD commentaries!  Haha.  Glad to just be proofreading, rather than starting from square one.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 05:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

::Yes  three things 
::* WHERE AND HOW CAN MY BRO THEJAY AND I JOIN A WELCOME COMMIUNTY.
::* WHAT IS TROLLING?
::* DO YOU THINK SBEMAIL 200 DESVERS A PIZZA TROPH?
::::See [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee]] and [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]].  And I personally thought sbemail 200 was pretty dang good, despite what others seem to think.  In short: Yes, I do think it desvers a pizza troph.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== Sig ==

OMG! What did you do to it? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:54, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
:I moved the couch out of the way and there was a pool of blood under it.  Weird, huh?  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
::AUGH!!! Opty... say it isn't so! We'll have to hold a funeral for the couch... {{User:Acam30/sig}} 01:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Funeral?  For the couch?  No, I don't think it was the couch's blood.  I'm counting on the couch coming back after Halloween...  Besides, the couch is still alive and well on my user page.  You can visit it whenever you'd like.  =]  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 01:15, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Hey guys, remember {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:OptimisticFool/sig&oldid=503814 ''this''}}?  You know, I thought about bringing that sig out of retirement, but wanted to go a bit darker this year.  Instead, I think people aren't quite getting that that's a pool of blood.  But oh well.. once you know, you know.. and that's good enough for me.  =]  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 15:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey yo Optimus Prime! Why does your name only appear when I click and drag? {{User:Mee/sig}} 09:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
:That's a good question.. and I don't have the answer.  Do you see the image okay?  Do you have a regular white background, or do you use some kind of skin or something with a different background color?  (Anyone else have any ideas?)  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:32, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
::Question 1: Yes. Question 2: I use regular Monobook white. (Question 3: Could it be because I has a Mac or use Firefox?) {{User:Mee/sig}} 09:59, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Dunno.  I have a PC and use IE.  I s'pose you could try Safari.  I wonder if it might have something to do with the fonts on your machine.. let's try this.. can you see any of these?:

:::Those last two will be identical if you're using the default skin, and some or all of the rest will be identical if you don't have the corresponding fonts installed.  All of those fonts are downloadable from [[fonts]] (except Verdana which is pretty much universal, anyway) but I don't know how many of them will work on a Mac.  Anyway, which of those (if any) do you see?  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 14:36, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Just for the record, I've never had a problem with my Mac and Safari seeing the sig.  On the other hand, Crack Babies, Bloody, Creepy, and Verdana all default back to Arial Bold for me.  This is why I stick with really common fonts for my sig... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
::::I see something for every font except Crack Babiies. So I guess I should download that font. Dot dot dot, and now it works. But for some reason it only shows the bottom half of each letter in the font book. {{User:Mee/sig}} 19:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::…And now it's invisible (except for click-and-drag) again. I went to Safari and it didn't seem to have this problem, so I guess it's a Firefox promblem. {{User:Mee/sig}} 22:48, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::Oh well.  When you see a pool of blood, just think of me.  Okay, I don't know what that means..  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:21, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

==User Page==

Thanks for fixing my user page! do you know what happened? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 00:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
:Yep, in three of your userboxes you had two <nowiki><font></nowiki> deals but only one <nowiki></font></nowiki> .. so, yeah.. all I had to do was add another <nowiki></font></nowiki> for each of those three userboxes.  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 00:55, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
::what i meant to say was: thanks, <s>bubs</s> OptimisticFool! how'd you get rid of the vi- wait, why do you have a shotgun? what'd you do? where's my compy? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 00:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC) anyway, that caused the menu on the left side to be all crazy too? i can understand why the userboxes were broken, but not the menu on the left side. and what exactly is that in your new signature? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 01:17, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
:::It's the blood pool from the '''''Axe-Gun: Legends of the Brain-Outener''''' poster in [[rated]].  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 01:23, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

== Fonts and Fonts by Toon ==

I just want to drop a note to commend you on the great work you've done maintaining the fonts pages. I've used them both as a reference many times recently. Keep it up, and keep on tranglin'! &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:18, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== Switch back ==

Hey there Opti. How do I switch back to my old sig? The purty pink one? Thanks. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 21:47, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
:All done. (Why is this on Opti's page?) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks Deffy! I put it here 'cause I didn't where else to put it... you were bound to find it anyway oh wiki-master. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 22:18, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

::::Acam, your own talk would probably be better, and there's no need to call me "wiki-master". "Supreme Overlord Deffy" will do just fine. ;) Opti, sorry bout the "Opty" thing... silly me. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::Aww but Opti... what happened to your font? I like the old one.{{User:Acam30/sig}} 22:34, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

All right, I was browsing around H*R, and I thought it'd be cool if there was an image of Strong Bad and The Cheat carrying that huge sub in [[fan club]]. So... a million dollars, eh? {{User:AwkwardFire/sig}} 22:58, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
