		+	::I feel like entries on this page should at least be given some justification for their inclusion; so instead of "Front Facing is released", it'd say "Front Facing, the first short in nearly two years, is released". (Maybe a bad example, because I also don't think long gaps between types of updates are particularly notable anymore. [[parenting]] can stay though. Sbemails were once the site's main feature, so the release of one nowadays feels like a major event.) {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig}} 22:21, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

	I think it's fine to not have any entries for a given year (again, that's what the "H*R.com updates" pages are for); for example, 2023 doesn't have an entry on the sidebar and I don't think the main page or toons released that year are particularly notable (if anything I'd consider ''Archive'd n' Live'd'' to be the more significant release, but that's neither here nor there). I like to think of it this way: if the site was still getting dozens of updates a year, would we still be calling out this event as significant? --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 18:53, 2 October 2025 (UTC)		I think it's fine to not have any entries for a given year (again, that's what the "H*R.com updates" pages are for); for example, 2023 doesn't have an entry on the sidebar and I don't think the main page or toons released that year are particularly notable (if anything I'd consider ''Archive'd n' Live'd'' to be the more significant release, but that's neither here nor there).

Despite that, I, personally, do feel like parenting should stay but Main Page 28 is okay to be removed. Likely because emails in general are more notable? Maybe.

		+	Back in ye olden days of weekly updates it was pretty easy to pick out what was the most significant coupla things of the year. But over the past decade of much more limited releases, it seems like there's not a standard for what gets put on this page {{--}} to the point where the "2025" section of this page contains everything (so far) from [[H*R.com updates 2025]]. I don't think this redundancy is useful, so it may be worth setting some guidelines for what counts as "notable" enough to be listed on this page. My suggestions:
		+	* The first of its kind {{--}} Launching a new type of toon (Strong Bad's Disk 4 of 12) or release (Deleteheads Download)
		+	* A new one after a long time {{--}} For instance, Main Page 27 was the first new Main Page after over a decade. Main Page 28 is not as notable as this
		+	* A release with a long build-up {{--}} e.g., Trogdor!! The Board Game, Stinkoman 20X6 Level 10
		+	* Significant event {{--}} "Back to a Website" celebrates the site's anniversary, something not commonly done. By comparison, Trogday or Halloween is not as notable.
		+	I think it's fine to not have any entries for a given year (again, that's what the "H*R.com updates" pages are for); for example, 2023 doesn't have an entry on the sidebar and I don't think the main page or toons released that year are particularly notable (if anything I'd consider ''Archive'd n' Live'd'' to be the more significant release, but that's neither here nor there).
