	+	:I think he's deleting them because it's a click-and-drag glitch, which plagues many of the main pages. I remember putting a lot of them on a long time ago, only to have them removed at a later day. Granted, this one has more unique results than many, but it's still another click-and-drag glitch. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 21:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
	+	::I don't even think that it's that notable. If we allow this, we have to allow click-and-drag Flash artifacts on all the other Main Pages. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:07, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
	+	::Addendum: for instance, on [[Main Page 11]], it's possible to get Strong Bad (without Homestar) in front of Homestar's backdrop. Is that somehow less notable? Where do we draw the line? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
	+	:::That's a good question. My point is that we ''should'' draw a new line, one where this fact and the one you just mentioned would be noted. This is a knowledge base that should encompass everything, and people who don't know about the tricks think they're cool when they find out about them. Since there's no question the information is true, is there ''no'' place for it anywhere on the site? — [[User:It's dot com\|It's dot com]] 22:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
	+	Since I'm newer than you fellows, I hope you don't mind my asking, but why are Flash artifacts considered to not be eligible as Fun Facts? Is there a good reason? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:18, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
	+	:From [[HRWiki:Standards]]:<blockquote>'''Glitches'''<br><span style="color:#777">Similar to Goofs, but limited to mistakes in the Flash software.</span> '''NOTE:''' Flash byproducts are NOT allowed, unless they note something humorous or extra. <span style="color:#777">A Flash byproduct is something odd or strange found by manipulating the Flash file, either by watching the .swf file directly, or by right-clicking and using the playback options. This can include missing parts of characters, different things "outside the wall", animations continuing while paused, etc. (See [[HRWiki:FAQ\|The FAQ]] for more information).</span></blockquote>
	+	:It seems to me that there is wiggle room in there to include certain Flash artifacts if enough people think they're funny or interesting. — [[User:It's dot com\|It's dot com]] 22:23, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
	+	:: This is long and it will probably be edit-conflicted, but oh well. Flash artifacts fall into three main categories that I'm aware of: click-and-drag, .swf functions, and "things outside the frame".
	+	:: Things outside the frame are only worth mentioning when something unexpected IS there, but not when something expected is NOT (for instance, characters lose limbs ALL THE TIME when those limbs are otherwise outside of the frame.) A good example of something unexpected existing outside the frame would be in [[Senorial Day]] (one Homestar has a moustache) and [[garage sale]] (there are some extra items outside the frame, some of which never appear within the frame itself.)
	+	:: .swf functions mean right-clicking on certain 'toons (most newer 'toons have be be watched as the .swf file itself to do this) and selecting "Play" or somesuch. This usually just pauses a 'toon, but sometimes a sound will continue in the background, Easter eggs will be played when they shouldn't be, and they especially interfere with games. However, this only happens because you're interfering with its usual running process.
	+	:: Click-and-drag is pretty generic in and of itself, and it's a glitch in Flash, not a mistake on the behalf of TBC. Basically, it works like this: take any instance where dragging your mouse over an item would cause something to appear, and that something doesn't disappear until you move the mouse away (Main Pages work best, but there are sometimes instances when it works in 'toons. For instance, the "Encore" at the end of [[rock opera]] works.) Move the mouse over it, hold the mouse button down, and move the mouse away. The item will remain there.
	+	:: Sometimes the Main Page buttons are mutually contradictory. This causes extra oddities from click-and-drag artifacts, but again, this is universal among all applicable Main Pages. For instance, you can get a flame over the pale-faced Tofu Homestar, or Strong Bad in front of Homestar's backdrop. I can probably come up with more mutually contradictory Main Page button oddities if I try. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:29, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
	+
	+	:::I think it is interesting enough to stay. If a lot of people have been adding it, than they must think so too. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:47, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
	+	:::: Any more notable than the rest of that list below? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:09, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
	+	::::: Finally, a list of all of these in one place. And if you think I'm being sarcastic, I'm not. Some, if not all, of those below should be listed on the respective pages, perhaps in a special section. — [[User:It's dot com\|It's dot com]] 23:14, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
	+	::::Just for the record, a more general version of this glitch is already recorded [[Main Pages#Glitches\|right here]]. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}
	+	:::::True, but perhaps we're finally to the point where that is ''too'' general. — [[User:It's dot com\|It's dot com]] 20:31, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
	+
	+	==Flash artifact mutual exclusion==
	+	Just for reference, let me list all the "mutual exclusion" effects I can find. I'll write "&" if it doesn't matter which is done first and "→" if they must be done in order:
	+
	+	[[Main Page 2]]: Store & Characters: The rain falls behind the Christmas ornaments. <br />
	+	[[Main Page 3]]: Downloads → Email: When Homestar's head falls back, the glasses don't move with him.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 4]]: Characters → Toons: The pins on the far left turn back to white.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 4]]: Characters → Games: The Games animation and its sound effects don't play.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 6]]: Toons & Downloads: Homestar holds two harps.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 8]]: Characters & Downloads: Homestar's star falls back, but there's no wind.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 8]]: Downloads & Store: Homestar's star flies AGAINST the wind.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 9]]: Downloads → anything: Not really an oddity, but Homestar's head speaks properly even when elevated.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 10]]: Store → anything: Again, not really an oddity, but Homestar's head speaks properly backwards.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 10]]: Store → Store: Homestar's head moves back into position... a little bit behind where it should be.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 10]]: Store → Downloads: Homestar eats the bomb when not facing it.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 10]]: Store → Characters: A soup can flies out of the back of Homestar's head.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 11]]: Downloads → Store: Strong Bad appears in front of Homestar's landscape.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 11]]: Downloads & Email: The Homestar Runner logo appears over Strong Bad's weather map.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 11]]: Downloads & Toons: Homestar's name appears over Strong Bad!<br />
	+	[[Main Page 13]]: Characters & Email: Two Strong Bads! (This doesn't require click-and-drag, though that makes it easier.)<br />
	+	[[Main Page 14]]: Store → Games (move the cursor off Games without the click-and-drag method): The water turns off, but it's still foggy.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 14]]: Characters & Games or Store: Two streams of water.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 14]]: Downloads & Store: Homestar apparently writes "Lemke" through the shower curtain.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 15]]: Downloads → Email: PbtC Strong Bad can be heard over The Cheat and Strong Bad's conversation.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 15]]: Store: Oddly, click-and-drag doesn't work on the "sun" effect on the button. (This is an "odd because it's not that odd" sort of thing.)<br />
	+	[[Main Page 16]]: Store → Toons: The effects of Toons don't happen.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 16]]: Email → Games: You can see Homestar knocked back by the snowball behind the pile of snow. His eyes, however, don't move.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 17]]: Store → Email: 1-Up's hair disappears as the screen turns to black-and-white, and then reappears.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 22]]: Downloads → anything: You might not be able to see the buttons or their effects after the screen blanks, but you can still hear them.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 22]]: Downloads → Store: You can still see Homestar's head near the "Edgar" popup.<br />
	+	[[Main Page 22]]: Downloads & Email: You can see the HTML hole and virus'd Strong Bad near the Edgar popup as well.<br />
	+	[[Homsar Main Page]]: Email → Characters or Downloads: The dinosaur/boat never appears.<br />
	+	[[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]]: Characters → anything: The music stops.<br />
	+	[[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]]: Email → Characters: The poster immediately flips back down - only really notable because it still curls up if you go the other way.<br />
	+	[[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]]: Characters → Email: The poster turns dark for a moment before curling up.<br />
	+	[[Luau Main Page]]: Characters → anything: Homestar's flame remains, but his head turns pale.<br />
	+	[[Luau Main Page]]: Characters → Characters: The flame disappears, but Homestar's head turns dark anyway. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

This is a knowledge base that should encompass everything, and people who don't know about the tricks think they're cool when they find out about them. Since there's no question the information is true, is there ''no'' place for it anywhere on the site? — [[User:It's dot com\|It's dot com]] 22:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
-	Since I'm newer than you fellows, I hope you don't mind my asking, but why are Flash artifacts considered to not be eligible as Fun Facts? Is there a good reason? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:18, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
-	:From [[HRWiki:Standards]]:<blockquote>'''Glitches'''<br><span style="color:#777">Similar to Goofs, but limited to mistakes in the Flash software.</span> '''NOTE:''' Flash byproducts are NOT allowed, unless they note something humorous or extra. <span style="color:#777">A Flash byproduct is something odd or strange found by manipulating the Flash file, either by watching the .swf file directly, or by right-clicking and using the playback options. This can include missing parts of characters, different things "outside the wall", animations continuing while paused, etc. (See [[HRWiki:FAQ\|The FAQ]] for more information).</span></blockquote>
-	:It seems to me that there is wiggle room in there to include certain Flash artifacts if enough people think they're funny or interesting. — [[User:It's dot com\|It's dot com]] 22:23, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
-	~~:: This is long and it will probably be edit-conflicted, but oh well. Flash artifacts fall into three main categories that I'm aware of: click-and-drag, .swf functions, and "things outside the frame".~~
-	:: Things outside the frame are only worth mentioning when something unexpected IS there, but not when something expected is NOT (for instance, characters lose limbs ALL THE TIME when those limbs are otherwise outside of the frame.) A good example of something unexpected existing outside the frame would be in [[Senorial Day]] (one Homestar has a moustache) and [[garage sale]] (there are some extra items outside the frame, some of which never appear within the frame itself.)
-	:: .swf functions mean right-clicking on certain 'toons (most newer 'toons have be be watched as the .swf file itself to do this) and selecting "Play" or somesuch. This usually just pauses a 'toon, but sometimes a sound will continue in the background, Easter eggs will be played when they shouldn't be, and they especially interfere with games. However, this only happens because you're interfering with its usual running process.
-	:: Click-and-drag is pretty generic in and of itself, and it's a glitch in Flash, not a mistake on the behalf of TBC. Basically, it works like this: take any instance where dragging your mouse over an item would cause something to appear, and that something doesn't disappear until you move the mouse away (Main Pages work best, but there are sometimes instances when it works in 'toons. For instance, the "Encore" at the end of [[rock opera]] works.) Move the mouse over it, hold the mouse button down, and move the mouse away. The item will remain there.
-	:: Sometimes the Main Page buttons are mutually contradictory. This causes extra oddities from click-and-drag artifacts, but again, this is universal among all applicable Main Pages. For instance, you can get a flame over the pale-faced Tofu Homestar, or Strong Bad in front of Homestar's backdrop. I can probably come up with more mutually contradictory Main Page button oddities if I try. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:29, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

-	~~[[Main Page 10]]: Store → Store: Homestar's head moves back into position... a little bit behind where it should be.<br />~~
-	~~[[Main Page 10]]: Store → Downloads: Homestar eats the bomb when not facing it.<br />~~
-	~~[[Main Page 10]]: Store → Characters: A soup can flies out of the back of Homestar's head.<br />~~

-	~~[[Main Page 11]]: Downloads & Email: The Homestar Runner logo appears over Strong Bad's weather map.<br />~~
-	~~[[Main Page 11]]: Downloads & Toons: Homestar's name appears over Strong Bad!<br />~~
-	~~[[Main Page 13]]: Characters & Email: Two Strong Bads! (This doesn't require click-and-drag, though that makes it easier.)<br />~~

-	~~[[Main Page 16]]: Store → Toons: The effects of Toons don't happen.<br />~~

	The standalone version of the main page does not seem to have a link to it anywhere on the website, so would that make it a [[secret page]] just like the game that shall not be named that the toon version links to? --[[Special:Contributions/173.64.121.211\|173.64.121.211]] 20:14, 13 August 2025 (UTC)		The standalone version of the main page does not seem to have a link to it anywhere on the website, so would that make it a [[secret page]] just like the game that shall not be named that the toon version links to? --[[Special:Contributions/173.64.121.211\|173.64.121.211]] 20:14, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
	:This main page can be reached after watching [[The Luau]], so it's definitely a page that's accessible from somewhere in the site. [[Secret Pages]] on the other hand are generally "orphaned" in some sense and can only be reached if you know the exact URL of the page. --[[User:Stux\|Stux]] 20:57, 13 August 2025 (UTC)		:This main page can be reached after watching [[The Luau]], so it's definitely a page that's accessible from somewhere in the site.

		+	::I understand that, but I am referring to the independent version of the main page, which is different from the one at the end of the toon (that one stays on the same link as the toon). The link to the solo version of the page is https://homestarrunner.com/luaumain and to my knowledge it isn't linked to on any of the other main pages, redirected to from The Luau toon itself for the aforementioned reason, or found anywhere else on the site. I only found the link on this article of the wiki. This seems to qualify with the definition of a secret page that you are saying, as it can only be accessed with this specific link that does not appear on the site. --[[Special:Contributions/173.64.121.211\|173.64.121.211]] 23:00, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
