It started back with the coolest-stuff-ever.com, an old Homestar fan and info site. That lasted until they stopped doing their work for some unknown reason (If anyone knows why please tell me). After their sudden work stoppage, there was a void left with some in the homestarrunner community. Where were we to turn for a list of all known easter eggs in the strong bad emails? Or the often missed real world refrences?

-	~~Oh yes~~, ~~before~~ I ~~forget~~, I ~~take responsibility~~ for my ~~spelling in advanced~~. I ~~know~~ it ~~sucks~~, ~~so deal~~ with it, I do.	+	Then, by chance, while googling for a walkthrough to Thy Dungeon man I stumbled upon the Homestarrunner wiki. All was right with the world once more. I took much from what I had learned at the coolest-stuff-ever.com and combined it with what I had found on my own to create a section I dubed "Fun Facts". One day I was attempting to go onto the wiki and add some more interisting tibits I had found when I discovered I could no longer log on. Apparently there were doing a major and very nice face lift to the site, but I thought I had been banned from the wiki. I couldnt understand why, I was contributing so much and all of a sudden I thought they just booted me.
		+
		+	So I left for a long time. Upset over how I thought I was treated. Just for kicks, I tried to log on one day and low and behold I got on. Then found out what really happened to the site. I came back on and pledged to myself to continue my work. Unfortunately, real life had other plans for me. Now, I find myself here wanting to contribute to this site once more. The more I look however, the more I see this as an impossibility.
		+
		+	First, my creation has gone off in a far different direction then what I had planned for it. The fun facts are getting out of hand IMO. Quality of the facts posted have really gone down, making it less disarible for me to put any other facts I run across. Secondly, I am now being beaten to almost every fact I find. This site has grown in popularity, and with that more people can log on and post facts before I even finish viewing the toon. Everything I want to say is already up before I can say it. Third, all records of my work are gone. I put so much into the "Fun Facts" and to see credit of that vanish is dishearting. Finally, time is an issue for me. I just dont have enough time to contribute the body of work I want to this site.
		+
		+	I guess this has turned out to be less of a user profile and more of a goodbye to the Homestarrunner wiki community. Hopefully, this can also serve as a small testimate to my work here. Maybe someday some new user will stumble upon my profile and be inspired to continue what I have started. I may come back from time to time and post some interesting tidbit if someone hasnt already found it. We shall see. So I guess this is goodbye. See you around.
		+
		+	Personal Note:
		+	I commend those of you who actually read this in its entirety. It's long I know, sorry about that.

Bockage is back!

New page

Hey there young whippersnappers, I come from a time where this here wiki wasnt so fancy smacy. We had to walk 14 miles through the snow up hill both ways just to make a post on this here wiki!

Ok in all seriousness, which isnt much, some of you may remember me from the older version of this wiki. I didnt contribute a ton of material, just random tidbits I picked up from time to time. I guess my most noted contribution was the 'Fun Facts' section to every Strong Bad email. Sadly, I cant really prove that anymore because they re did the wiki and all proof is lost. Still, the changes are cool, and I dont mind being the crazy guy who no one believes. I usually dont post much here because someone usually beats me to it, but I will when the opprotinuty presents itself.

Oh yes, before I forget, I take responsibility for my spelling in advanced. I know it sucks, so deal with it, I do.
