	:Of course it's worth mentioning that, even though TBC were arguably rather stubborn about sticking with Flash 5 for a while, it's clear they eventually were able to move on. After all, with newer versions of Adobe Animate came newer features, some of which TBC definitely used in [[Two More Eggs]]. So the change in swf versions might have been just a side-effect that showed up as they embraced the newer software. And the other things I noticed might have just been coincidence. There are other [[User:Purple_Wrench/Contentions_I_Hold\|contentions I held]] that had much stronger evidence back then, some of which I will still defend now (especially the Yello Dello one — I technically can't prove it but it makes so much sense).		:Of course it's worth mentioning that, even though TBC were arguably rather stubborn about sticking with Flash 5 for a while, it's clear they eventually were able to move on.

	Sorry if this comes across as weird/nosy/out-of-nowhere, but I noticed [[Talk:Flash#Newer swf Versions\|several years ago on a talk page]] you mentioned having "suspected TBC lost some of their files or hardware for a few years now, but that's another story". Sounds intriguing, would you care to elaborate on that? --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 22:20, 14 December 2021 (UTC)		Sorry if this comes across as weird/nosy/out-of-nowhere, but I noticed [[Talk:Flash#Newer swf Versions\|several years ago on a talk page]] you mentioned having "suspected TBC lost some of their files or hardware for a few years now, but that's another story".

		+	:Hey there! Sorry it took so long for me to wake up from my skillet nap. But at least you're still active 'round her', so I'll answer your question in the order in which it was received. ...The singular one.
		+	:So, I'm not entirely sure I know ''exactly'' what I was teekin' bot back then, but I have a pretty good hunch that I'd found a few ...oddities... around that time; while they seemed unrelated to each other on the surface, it seemed plausible that the reason for all of them might have been that The Brothers Chaps had lost some of their data or hardware, or at least made it much harder to access. (By "loss of hardware", I mean not being able to make use of old data on newer hardware due to compatibility issues with abandoned or evolving software.) I'm not going to attempt to do a deep dive to find all of those odd occurrences now, but the biggest points in favor of this hypothesis that I can remember would be:
		+	:#Some videos uploaded to YouTube since the end of the hiatus were of DVD quality (ie, ripped from the DVDs), even though they were clearly made in Flash
		+	:#A few character design regressions in some post-hiatus toons (If I recall correctly, Strong Sad's redesigned hands from 2008-2009 were replaced with much sketchier-looking ones)
		+	:#And of course the change in swf versions as discussed on that talk page.
		+	:
		+	:But, since then, we've gotten a few pieces of content from The Brothers Chaps that either outright debunk the hypothesis or just limit its scope. The [[Grumblecakes (video)\|Grumblecakes video]] being in higher quality on YouTube (among others), all the longer versions of songs in [[Homestar Runner Original Soundtrack]], and of course the fact that [[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate]] exists at all. So perhaps TBC only lost some of their historical files, not all of them; or perhaps they just put them in a storage space like Puppet Homestar; or maybe they always had everything close at hand and just decided to take the path of most lazy-istance for those few cases I mentioned above.
		+	:Of course it's worth mentioning that, even though TBC were arguably rather stubborn about sticking with Flash 5 for a while, it's clear they eventually were able to move on. After all, with newer versions of Adobe Animate came newer features, some of which TBC definitely used in [[Two More Eggs]].
