== Block'd? ==
Hey, I was just wondering why you blocked the anonny 68.39.230.211, when he'd only made three edits? Yes, he plugged the Sandbox with nonsensical links, but couldn't you have talked to him and asked him to stop it? I'm not sure if you did talk to him or not. If you didn't though, then 1 week was probably a little harsh. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 20:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:Meh, maybe you're right. I was going primarily from {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=568565 this edit}}, and I thought that the anonny had been reverted three times and was being persistent with adding those links. I'll unblock for now. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
::Whoops! Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. I was just fooling around and deleting some spam from the sandbox. The anonny wasn't spamming any other pages than the sandbox. {{User:Super Turtle/sig}} 21:51, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:::No need to fear, Turtle, you acted correctly. Dotty just got a little carried away&mdash;which he ''rarely'' does, I might add, he does a bang-up job here and I'm personally proud of what he's accomplished&mdash;and made a premature judgement in absence of the facts. He fixed it, and all is well now, all is safe and sound. Sleep peacefully. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
::::Dotty? Augh! Bleh! Ewww! Grugh! ''{suddenly sotto voce}'' No. Thanks as always to Qermaq for putting a bow on what was pretty much already wrapped up. ;) (Although I ''would'' recommend in the future not yelling in summaries if one is not trying to attract attention. But yeah, no big deal now.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:31, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

== Joshua ==

Okay, I know you have a fanstuff talk page. But this is serious. Joshua, the sysop, did something like blackmail. Now the forum is messed up and Super Sam blocked him. Can you please fix this mess? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 14:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:I do believe that what is occurring is simply playful banter which Sam here has taken a bit too seriously. Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 05:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
::Edit conflict: Lies. All lies! Clearly I'm the only one who knows how it all went down. Joshua randomly bans Super Sam on the forum and then Super Sam screws around with the forum skin for revenge. Also I think Supra tried to block Joshua on the wiki but Joshua just unblocked himself. Just a spot of fun, no need to get all grumpy about it. I think it's pretty dang hilarious the way it's going down. {{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 05:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

== If you notice anything strange... ==

This may just be me being paranoid, but I just thought I'd let you know that MySpace told me I got phished and... I kinda had this thing going where I used the same password for everything... including my email, in which I saved an email to myself detailing how to log in to my account on this website...

So, if anybody does anything funny under my account, I just thought I should let someone with special authorities and privileges and whatnot know about it (although I have since changed my password). I might start a new account just in case, but I'm not sure yet how that'll work out.

Anyway... now you know. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:Don't start a new account. Changing your password should be adequate. By the way, to add a section to a talk page, just click the little plus (+) next to the edit button. It will give you a place to enter the thread header and format it automatically. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
::Jolly good. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Just the same, I think I'd like my username changed. (I've been thinking of ditching LuxAcerbus for a while now.) Sysops can do that, right? {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 19:03, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

== Forum Redirect ==

Since the HRWiki forum is down, alot of the regular users have taken refuge to http://www.inversetiger.com/forum/ .  However, pretty much the only way for people on the forum to communicate to each other now is by email.  Since barely anyone shows their email address, the last resort option is to communicate by editing your sig.  Even then, most people don't go looking through a locked forum looking at people's sigs(which is where I found the link).  The result: Only the regular users found link.  So, I figured that it would be best if you posted some sort of link on the front page of the Wiki or something so people can find it.

== Fanstuff Purge: Wiki User Emails ==

There are currently a few Wiki User Emails on the list of fanstuffs to be saved, and it's been decided that this would be a great chance to get them over to the Wiki User Wiki. My question is whether it would be easier to use whatever fancy method you're using to transfer them across or whether it would be easier to just do it manually.<br/ >
Cheers, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don't know if this is the specific fancy way that DC's going to use, but if you want to transfer stuff, then the easy way is to go to [[HRFWiki:Special:Export]], and put in all the page-names (one per line), and mash go. That'll give you an XML file that you can feed into Special:Import on WUW (you'll need to be sysop to use Special:Import, but Special:Export can usually be run by anyone). As well as being able to copy lots of pages in one hit, you can also (if you want) include each page's history, and all the templates they use. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
::Yep, I concur with Phlip's suggestion. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:45, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

Looking at [[Talk:Main_Page#Read-Only_Forum|this]], it appears a lot of the forum users have been giving you grief over the locked forum. I just would like to pause for a moment and say thank you.

[http://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Recentchanges Check this out]

It's the recent changes page of The Mario Wiki. I made an account there, and I realized on the recent changes page, there's a little section for who's currently logged in.

:[...] This would indeed be interesting, but people shouldn't have their identities exposed just because they're browsing.

Thanks so much for agreeeing with my statements, It's dot com! I knew someone would believe me if I posted the edit there! The second video was just my proof to make sure there wouldn't be that much of a conflict, but if that's what made you believe me, I'm glad I made it! So thanks again!

-MarioMaster2008

P.S. Speaking of which, why did you think I went overboard trying to prove my point with the video?
:I wouldn't say so.  People have gone [[Template talk:commentary|crazy before]] proving their point. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 06:12, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
::Maybe so, but if you look on the [[Talk:Sensitive To Bees|talk page]] for the article in question, you'll see that It's Dot Com himself said I surpassed him in levels of proving my point. -MarioMaster2008
:::The above link to that template talk page has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. I'm referring to people posting evidence they gather to try and answer a question of fact regarding something in one of the toons. I'm not saying I don't go overboard (my illustrations on [[Talk:car#Homestar's spinning buzzer|Homestar's spinning buzzer]] are just the latest example), but I think making a whole YouTube video trumps anything I've done. So far.

Hi there It's Dot Com, hope you don't mind me asking something.  I was trying to create a redirect from [[Coach Z's 110 percent]] to [[Coach Z's 110%]], but it doesn't work as an actual redirect.  How do you create a redirect page, and how is it different from a normal one?  Thanks! {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 01:02, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I myself blank the sandbox on occasion, but not like clockwork. Generally speaking, having a blank or non-blank sandbox makes no difference, and so I find it interesting that you've kept it up.

I've been good, nearly done hiugh school,  which leaves me to my first question:

I'll be leaving Homestar Runner wiki, temporarily, for school reasons. Anyhow, can someone you tell me where i can find a banner template to place on my wikipage saying I'll be off wiki for a while?

Thanks a bunch.

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 07:59, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
:Wow, Nikolce, long time no hear from. We don't really have a template for that kind of thing, but you can make a banner by taking some code from one of our other templates and putting it on your page. Then you can update the message to suit whatever you need it to say. I'm curious how long a while is (your last edit was last April, which is what I'd consider a while). &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 11:42, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Whoa, April, man school's been taking my time man. As well as school, sometimes my internets gets capped, meaning it becomes slow, and when it comes to wikis, they don;t load up.

:Block you? You're wrong though. We consistently treat scenes as though the characters have normal arms and/or fingers (regardless of what's "really" the case) and are directly manipulating objects.

<div>subject: name change</div>
Dear Mr. Com,
I understand that you must envisage me as a person who takes the Homestar Runner Wiki for granted, as I have created several different users.  I am writing here to plead my case to change my username.
When I first created the account Jagger88, I looked at my talk page, and deleted the Welcome comment straight away.  I therefore did not look at any information I may have needed.  Therefore, I had no idea there was a way to change your username, and therefore created new users whenever I wanted to have a different username.  If you look at recent changes, you will see that I have not used Do-Nots, Open Source Greg, or the new paper rox since you gave me a warning (the user Hremails was my brothers before he got confused with all the computer language).<br>
Please consider my application to change my name to TNDY, as I believe in recent times I have proved myself useful to this wiki. (I did like, the whole transcript for [[Pistols for Pandas]], discovered [[Career Day]], and the [[Sbemails' 50 Greatest Hits DVD]], aswell as along the way improving my understanding of this wiki.<br>
I'm only a teenager, and I actually think this wiki has what it takes to teach me some respect and responsibility.<br>
Sincerely, {{User:Jagger88/sig}} 09:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

On the recent changes page, there seems to be a large number of accounts being made. normally if it was 1 or 2 I wouldn't notice, but there's been 8 in the last 5 minutes. I think it might be a troll or vandal. {{User:BubbleRevolution/sig}} 01:11, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, this is the wrong place to put this, but these accounts are all being made by the same person, because they all are common names (all having something to do with the Eragon series, I have read the books), except maybe [[User:Sbe-Mail Checker Dan]], he's probably a coincidence. Also, you probably shouldn't use the word TROLL or VANDAL yet, since the user(s) haven't made any edits yet, and might not know about the sockpuppet rule. Can someone go talk to him/her?

==Another Fanstuff Thing==
I don't mean to kill the already several dead horses about this topic, but I don't think the sysops are going to fix the Fanstuff Wiki. I know you have a life, n'stuff, but we want some stuff done. I don't care if you do half a page a day. Any progress is good progress. And if your schedule doesn't allow for any Fan-Wiki work, then get people that will accualy work. The regular people word be WAY more willing, and more faster, to fix these unfinished pages. In short, I hope you take some time to work on the Fan-Wiki, get better workers, and always, ALWAYS edit blank pages. [[User:Anonomous]]

Hi Dot Com. I was just passing by to tell you that I, for one, am most delighted about how the purge took over 500 days. Without the purge, I'd still be dwelling on the Fanstuff Wiki with not much else to do, but since its absence, I've pursued other hobbies and personal projects, which most probably wouldn't have happened if the Fanstuff Wiki was still around. For example, since it went down with the purge, I've started to learn more about programming and website creation, not to mention polishing up my English skills and discovering my humble abilities as an amateur musician. That's really all I have to say. And again, thank you. <small>No this contains no sarcasm whatsoever.</small> -[[User:20eric06|20eric06]] 02:07, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

== Could you help with my account? ==

Sorry to bug you! During the Fanstuff purge I asked to change my username from Chituze to Happy: now it says I've got the wrong password, and I don't receive the verification email. I'm absolutely positive I've been typing the password right, because I use the same one everywhere. Are you able to find my password for me, or maybe allocate happypants3@hotmail to the account? Thanks so much in advance!

(The fanstuff and the knowledge base now share the same user list, and the Happy account was created here back in 2004.) You'll need to create a new account with a different name. You can choose Chituze or HappyPants or something else. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:25, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

== Regarding [[Talk:Scroll_Button_Songs#Mirror_Glitch|Mirror Glitch]] ==

Hey, man. I just went over the articles for cleanup and saw [[Scroll Button Songs]]. The article looked OK and I went over the last few talk page posts to see why it should be cleaned up. I saw no problem, and I was just about to remove the template, when I decided to dig in the history a little and came across [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Scroll_Button_Songs&diff=prev&oldid=645922 this edit] from almost exactly a year ago. That discussion started two and a half years ago, and the article has been in "cleanup" ever since. Is that REALLY such a big of an issue? I mean, it looks like some technical thing to fix that should not bother the casual reader. I didn't even notice the email list on the mirrors after I read the talk page. I just listened to the songs. What I'm suggesting is to remove the template and you'll just fix whatever you need to fix whenever you got the time, since the article itself is fine. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 06:41, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

well, you caught my attention with the chat on Super Sam's talk on the fanstuff wiki, and i didn't get to put my idea in before you locked it out.  i figure this is as relevant a topic as any.  if the sysops and moderators are the problem, why don't you get some new ones over there?  i don't think this is worth closing that wiki.  I'm sure there's a lot of people that would be capable enough to run that wiki that update frequently enough to care.  I'm not saying it's me, i haven't done anything on either for over a year besides now, but I'm sure there are people that care about the fanstuff wiki as much as you care about the knowledge base.  and i don't believe either site deserves to die just for lack of usage after the purge.  a lot of the users just said "screw it" after waiting so long for it to come back, it seems unfair to close it for good before there's time to get more people interested again.

That is some epic decompiler work you did there, Dot Com! I've always wondered how you got Homestar in the logo like that, and I enjoy the little Easter Egg. The addition of Flash detection is also very nice. Except I'm not that big of a fan of the lost Decemberween colors, but it adds consistency and balances the page, in my opinion. Also, you might want to remove the special no-click treatment for the 'flakes. It's making my cursor spazz-out. Anyway, great work!

:We're using the [[Wikipedia:SWFObject|SWFObject]] method of adding SWF files to pages, which seems to work well across many browsers while also being compatible with devices with no Flash support. It requires placing <code>swfobject.js</code> on your server in addition to your SWF logo. (Note: we're using [http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ version 1.5], but later versions have been released.)

== Tentative request ==

Hello, It's dot com! I'd like to apologize in advance for bringing this issue up again, but I have a request regarding the old Fanstuff Wiki files. I hope this doesn't already deter you, I intend to be respectful and cooperative. The old Fanstuff wiki holds a good deal of nostalgia for me, as well as for a few of my friends. The "purged" fanstuff wiki retains some of this nostalgia (thanks for continuing to host that, by the way!) but much of the community discussion and silliness is contained only on the old files. If you even still have the pre-"purge" fanstuff wiki files, then I would be delighted to take them off your hands.

'''Note that I don't intend to start up the H*R Fanstuff Wiki again!''' First because you've expressed that you wish our community distanced from yours, and second because the original Fanstuff Wiki community has since dispersed anyway. I understand that any attempt to resurrect the site would be ill-advised, so I will not do that. I merely intend to sift through old pages which were lost in the purge, for historical and entertainment purposes. I may host it as a private archive on my own website, but if this would bother you then I will not do so. The HRFWiki harbored a lot of my creative efforts in my early teenage years, and I would just like to reflect on that community's golden years. I hope you understand.

Apologies again for the bothering, especially as it seems you've already suffered a great deal of passive-aggressive remarks on the Fanstuff Wiki issues. I apologize for anything I did personally in that way. I don't intend to push the issue but it would mean a great deal to me if you would do this for me. Thank you!

{{User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!/sig}} 21:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

::Apologies for the late reply. I've repeatedly stated that those files should be considered gone, sorry. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:16, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
:::Oh yes, I remember that policy now. Well, in my view, such a policy is not really necessary any longer, as the reasons and needs to keep these files from the community have since become more or less unnecessary, mainly as the community is practically gone, as is the tension and problems surrounding what originally spurred the purge to happen. I also understand your hesitancy in providing the archive to any old user, so perhaps it's worth noting that I also spent a bit of time acting as a sysop in this community, and in this position I did my best to mitigate conflict and tension, and to keep users abiding by the standards. I understand that you never had much high esteem for the fanstuff portion of this wiki, and probably rightfully so. But it all meant a lot to me, perhaps as much as Homestar Runner itself! It fostered a lot of goofy discussion and fledgling creative efforts, at least it did in its earlier years, much of which did not survive to the archive which is hosted now.
:::Sorry, I guess I'm rambling again! Really I just mean to ask that you'd please reconsider your policy, now that the nasty politics surrounding Fanstuff Wiki issues have dissipated! Speaking for myself, transferring ownership of these forgotten archives to a humble old, reminiscing sysop doesn't seem particularly problematic, and I hope that you can see things this way too. It would really mean a lot to me if you could do this favor for me!

== Slow loading and Forum registration, ==

Hello "Dot com"

I like to report a server problem or some kind, it's loading the pages slowly, I'm not joking, its true!

Also I can't seem to register at the forums, I'm stuck at the Terms page.

== This place is a ghost town ==

But I need something that only you can get. I posted a Homestar fanfiction on a subpage a few years ago, and you deleted it, which I'm completely fine with. However, I think I accidentally deleted the fanfic from my fanfiction.net account, so if it won't cause you much trouble, could you go through my deleted contributions and send it to me through e-mail? It would be very much appreciated,

== About my username ==

Dear It's dot com

It's me again, I know I come on rarely but its mostly because of well, work.

Anyway, I was hoping you could help change my user name, or at least direct me to the page where it can be changed?

I realize that my user name will be in the history pages of whatever articles I edited, but people outside this wiki will not be bothered to look past the user page.

Help would be appreciated.

:Why do you want to change your username? What would you change it to? We usually don't change usernames of users who have established themselves, which you have.

::: Thanks, are you speaking of the edit conflict that deleted some other thing I wrote (or... meant to write... I swear... dreamed of writing?). I love to see the wiki running at this speed, too! As for new user A: was that meant to mean me and if so B: I found hr in early 2004, I didn't join the wiki until 2 years ago (or become active until a few weeks ago) for reasons I will at some point describe on my user page... some time. Basically, I only considered joining after the hiatus to keep morale up. But here's the thing I think I meant to write: Aaaah- so should I replace — with mdash or just leave everything? Also, there are lots of instances of using em dashes on the wiki where en dashes should be used... should I fix those? If so, should I use (en dash I'm to lazy to copy and paste) or ndash? {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 17:24, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
:::: You should just leave them. As far as the reader is concerned, there is no difference between <code>&amp;mdash;</code> and an actual em dash in the code. For that reason alone it's typically not worth the edit to change them. All it's doing is adding another revision to the database with no real gain. On top of all that, as mentioned on the standards talk page, we have reasons for preferring entities over raw characters when it comes to dashes. It's not a big deal with the ones you already changed, but I wouldn't change any more. Where are em dashes being used where en dashes should be? &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:11, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
::::: Ex: for dates on the [[Strong Bad Email]] page, "Lappy Era: 26 — some other year", I replaced them with en's (not in raw though) in [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Strong_Bad_Email&curid=732&diff=735237&oldid=734947&rcid=697793 this edit]. <br> {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 18:18, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
:::::: I changed them back, even though the en dashes are technically correct. With the spaces on either side of the dashes, I think the en dashes looked too wimpy compared to the em dashes. By the way, I think you might have your terminology backwards: A dash by itself in the code—like this—is what we mean when we say raw. An HTML entity (like <code>&amp;mdash;</code>) is not raw. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:36, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
::::::: Do you mean too wimpy in general or just for important headings like in that page (you didn't change the DVD release info 1&ndash;200 into em). I wouldn't say I had my terminology backwards, as that would imply that I know what I'm talking about- I kinda just winged it when I saw you using the terms. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 18:42, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
:::::::: For multiple-word headings with lots of white space. I didn't change the one I didn't change because the en dash is appropriate there. It's in running text, it connects just two things, and there are no spaces. By the way, the appearance of your signature in this thread is a good example of why we discourage non-white backgrounds. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:57, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

==April Fools'==
There have been some dumb pranks in the past but this is the worst. I am personally offended by this April Fools' prank. I might just report this wiki to International Wiki Headquarters and have them ban this wiki from the web. It will take me days to recover from this "prank." I mean COME ON! I am organizing a full out wiki boycott TODAY! From today on NO MORE editing from ANYONE! If you don't put these links back to normal I will PERSONALLY make sure no one will ever see this website again! This is a DISGRACE! My god! How could you do something this disgusting!? Changing links... just wow. This is the worst thing to happen since... since... I don't even know. This is a big deal. {{User:The thing/sig}} 00:59, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

::I wouldn't call it offensive—just annoying and inefficient. None of the site actually changed, the links are the same and everything, he's just using this weird magic to randomly redirect links. And they're relevant— edit goes to edit, talk goes to talk, pictures go to other pictures. The good news is I lost my pitiful reliance to hyperlinks—I typed in the URL for editing this talk page from scratch! Can you imagine the state of this wiki, though, if the site ''had'' updated?

It's Dot Com, My name is Jeff Daniels, I am looking to create a new account, Broncotroll suggested I see you. I have been active in the wiki as 65.33.23*.*. I would like to bypass the whole email thing, as my parents are VERY strict about what emails I send to who, and they don't like me sending emails to strangers (accept maybe Strong Bad). I have/had a Wikipedia account (Jdaniels15), and my edits are usually limited to typos and misspellings (which thrive in WP). I do not like the visual word varification picture things. Sometimes you can hardly recognize the letters, and when you can they are often the letters that have identical capital and lower-case forms (I.E.: V, C, X, S, O, W, Z). It usually takes me 5-6 tries just to get one right. I also have a khwiki.net account, username Jdaniels15, though my handle is ToaJuaraevo01. This is strictly for simplicirty, as ALL of my accounts have the Jdaniels15 username, with 1 of 3 parsswords for each one. For obvious reasons none of them will be revearled, 'cause, hey, ya never know who's whartchin'. Thank you for your time, [[Special:Contributions/65.33.237.1|65.33.237.1]] 14:46, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

== Dear Tube Socks, ==

It's me again. I hope you had a good year. Free of athletes' feet and toe jam. :)

If you don't remember me, I'm the user [[User:Shadow Scythe of Strongbadia?!|Shadow Scythe]], although you can just call me Nigel. I'm glad to see the Homestar Runner Wiki is still up and being actively edited! I'll always have fond memories of both the website and its userbase. The website may be dead, but the community lives on! :)

The reason I'm writing is because I'm interested in hosting a mirror of the Fanstuff Wiki. I realize that at this point it's no longer linked to on the site, and it's been closed to new edits for nearly three years now. Further, I read on the Donations page that it costs around $50 per month to host this website, and I imagine that a significant portion of that comes from hosting the archived Fanstuff. Myself, I wouldn't mind hosting it, mostly because of its sentimental value to me. However, I also intend to keep an offline copy, with which I'll conduct some research on how a small fanbase changes over time as its userbase grows, shrinks, and ages.

I understand that you're busy with other administrative duties, and certainly other duties in life; as such, I'm prepared to offer you monetary compensation for your time and services, either directly donated to the Wiki, or given to you, whatever you feel is appropriate. I'm prepared to offer $25 immediately but I'm willing to negotiate, if you think it will take a lot of time on your part. If you would rather communicate by e-mail, at pullskip (at) gmail (dot) com! Thank you for your consideration!

:Only three years? I would have thought it was more than that. The fanstuff archive is fine where it is. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:50, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
::I would have thought it was longer too! But [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history these edits] seem to indicate it was closed back in June 2010.
::Anyways, if you're still OK with hosting the Fanstuff for the time being, then that's great! I suppose I was just worried that it might someday disappear if, for instance, it was taking up too much space or was costing a lot to host or something like that, so I figured I might as well offer to mirror it if you didn't want to host it yourself. If that's ever the case in the future, let me know. :)
::Though, even if you don't need it mirrored at this point, would it be possible for me to get a copy of the content, just in case? For that matter, what about the purged content? (If you even still have it.) I understand you had reservations about keeping that offline in the past, although now I'd imagine they'd be obsolete. But I digress.

Hey man. Douglas from the forum here. I've tried to get the admins' attention through there, but no dice. Listen, I'd love to have the chance to get in there and clean it up - I used to love posting there back when Off-Subject was open pre-2008. I check at least once a week to see if there's been any admin activity, but I don't really see any... since it looks like most of the administration there has given up on the place, would it be conceivable to give a regular user admin privileges? I'd be willing to take that on. I'd just really like to clean it up and see if I can breathe some sort of life back into the place. Let me know what you think. --Douglas

as a sign of good will, i present to you a tune [[Special:Contributions/68.148.129.142|68.148.129.142]]

:I disagree. I for one believe the HRFWiki is one thing from the past that would best remain lost. Unhappy times... [[Special:Contributions/99.48.86.26|99.48.86.26]] 04:47, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
:There was plenty of notice at the time. If you didn't back up your stuff then, sorry. We have no real plans to dig out the archive. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:20, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

== SBCG4AP Tech Demo Mirror ==

Hey there .com! Since there is no official mirror of the SBCG4AP Tech Demo available on the internet (besides wayback machine) any more, would it be possible for an HRWiki mirror of the .swf? Thanks! - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 05:57, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

== Wiki Login Page ==

The bottom of the login page still says "An e-mail address is optional: no confirmation is required." However, you are required to send an email to create an account. {{User:The thing/sig}} 04:46, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
:Fair point. Fixed. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:00, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

Hey Dot com, just wanted to thank you for [http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:SRMX12&diff=prev&oldid=760370 helping me out there]. I'm still not quite sure how you diddat and how exactly it involved my userpage, but... keep working your sysop magic! <small>And I'll keep trying not to accidentally press enter on my stupid Kindle Fire keyboard...</small> {{User:SRMX12/sig}} 03:27, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
:Hey, no probalo. Nah, your user page was just a convenient place to talk to you, since you seem to like having conversations in edit summaries. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:53, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

== Homestar Wiki ==

Thanks for making the Homestar Runner Wiki a happy place! Without Homestar Runner or the wiki, the internet would've sucked!! --[[Special:Contributions/195.194.74.65|195.194.74.65]] 10:57, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
:Thanks, I try to do my part. There's a whole bunch of other people doing their part too. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:47, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

== Reopening the Fanstuff Wiki ==

So, when you're going to reopen the H*R Fanstuff Wiki, because the body of work is now active? --[[User:Averon25|Averon25]] 11:05, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
:We have no immediate plans to reopen the fanstuff wiki. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:26, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

== Hey there ==

So how long were you into Homestar Runner? What got you into it? Just wondering--[[Special:Contributions/90.197.11.150|90.197.11.150]] 22:07, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
:The newest email was [[japanese cartoon]]. My brother left me a note to watch the [[First Time Here?]] toon. The rest is on my user page. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:38, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

== Sysop ==

[[User_talk:It's_dot_com/These_Peoples_Try_to_Fade_Me#I_want_to_be_a_sysop|Soooo]], how about that sysop election?  {{User:The thing/sig}} 17:20, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
:We're not really in the market right now. We'll let you (and everyone) know if that changes. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:38, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

::Let me tell you something It's dot com. This really irks me. The thing has clearly desired to be a sysop for over ten years. He probably loves Homestar Runner and the Wiki more than most of the uers (and indirectly) the sysops on here. Just make an exception for him to be one please. He can do a lot of good for this site. Think of the others that were not given rights when this site was in its hey day. [[Special:Contributions/12.222.178.186|12.222.178.186]] 20:14, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

== The Cheat ==

Hey, It's dot com! I was wondering, where did you get your The Cheat plush toy? Did you get it from the old Homestar store? I want [[flashback|my very own-a The Cheat]]! --{{User:Mml554/sig}} 03:15, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
:Yep, I got it from the official store when it was first made available. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:16, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

== Moving Things ==

I'm curious how it's different to simply manually move the contents of a page vs. using the "move" tab. {{User:The thing/sig}} 22:43, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
:Moving the page using the tab preserves the page history. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:44, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

== Marzipan’s Answering Machine Talk Page ==

Hello. I was not accusing you of anything. I was simply telling you what I know (and what I heard in the cartoon). I heard, just as you heard, no /p/ in what Homsar said. I heard "chintzy", not "chipsy". As I type this, "chipsy" has a red line under it (indicating misspellings [and because there is no such word as "chipsy"]). I '''hate''' edit wars. Anyway, I won't bother you. Take care. Again, I never meant to come across in an accusing (or, as you said, accusatory) way.—[[User:Bde1982|Bde1982]] 23:44, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

== D'screetret disappearance ==

Once upon a time about fifteen years ago, I was a [[hygiene|cruddy fifth-grader who has since grown up, gone to college and reinvented myself]]. While I currently prefer to operate anonymously, I have heard of a mythical wiki concept called the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Courtesy vanishing|courtesy vanish]]. While I'm not going to leave the wiki forever, I would like to ask if there's a way if my old, abandoned account can be erased discreetly without anyone recognizing me as the smelly loser I used to be. Then I can go back to being an [[Anonymous Contributor]]. -- [[Special:Contributions/99.48.86.26|99.48.86.26]] 18:53, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
:I'm certainly willing to change your name and delete your user page(s) (you'd have to log in to request both of those), but if I were you I wouldn't worry about it, first because realistically nobody cares and second because those actions will show up in logs, and would just make you ''more'' visible due to the [[Wikipedia:Streisand effect|Streisand effect]]. Just go about your business and you'll be fine. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:11, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

== Videlectrix Linx ==

Hi. It seems that The Brothers Chaps have moved most of the [http://videlectrix.com videlectrix.com] pages to [http://homestarrunner.com/videlectrix homestarrunner.com/videlectrix]. Do you think you could change the [[videlectrix:]] interwiki link to the new URL? {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 03:47, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
:Done. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:25, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

== Happy New Year! ==

Happy New Year, It's dot com! All the best to you. :)—[[User:Bde1982|Bde1982]] 13:49, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
:Thanks, and to you! &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:48, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

== Astros/Account Deletion ==

Greetings, It's dot com. Two questions for you (one Homestar Runner-related, the other not): How can I delete my Homestar Runner Wiki account? Also, as you are from Texas, I just have to ask: Are you thrilled that the Houston Astros won the World Series?—[[User:Bde1982|Bde1982]] 14:31, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
:You cannot delete your account. Your account is intertwined with your edits, and your account can't simply be deleted without leaving holes in the database. I was happy for the Houston ''fans'', but apart from that, no, I wasn't thrilled at all that the Astros won. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:43, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
::Okay, fair enough. I cannot delete my account. I never wanted to mess up the database. I just can't edit here anymore. I've had trouble on this site from some users (who shall rename nameless). Also, I've been busy and I've had more important things to deal with in life, such as laying two loved ones to rest. Cancer is a beast. I can only assume you are '''not''' an Astros fan. Regardless, I respect you, It's dot com. Hope all is going well for you. Take good care.—[[User:Bde1982|Bde1982]] 23:49, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

== Telltale links ==

Another interwiki link question. [[Telltale]]'s site is now located at [https://telltale.com telltale.com] rather than [https://telltalegames.com telltalegames.com]. The latter redirects to the former, but it still might be nice to update our [[telltale:]] interwiki links to reflect the new address. {{User:SRMX12/sig}} 01:36, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
:Done. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:44, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

==Autopipe/Autoredirect code==
I am one of the administrators of a mediawiki wiki [https://ukikipedia.net]. We would like to use your case insensitivity code detailed here [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/HRWiki:Autopipe/Autoredirect] for our wiki. Would you be so kind as to share it with us? [[Special:Contributions/68.63.220.186|68.63.220.186]] 01:13, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
: I'd like to, but unfortunately it's not written for the latest (or even a recent) version of MediaWiki. Someday we'll update it. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:31, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
