Hey there, I've noticed you adding piped to links to the new hremail... in general, we prefer linking to redirects where it makes sense to, for a bunch of reasons. I don't recall offhand where the discussion is that took place, but if you're curious, I could probably dig it up for you. Hope that helps! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 05:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I see you said it was too late to come up with a clever account name. There is a page (who's name I forget) that can allow you to change your name if you sincerly want to. Could I get someone to back me up here? Someone who knows that page name? Well, in the meantime, maybe you would want to come up with a name that satisfies you. Okay bye. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 22:07, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey Omnisweater,
 +
Although the latest video suggests it, we're still not entirely sure if the channel is an official H*R channel. Until we settle it on a [[Talk:YouTube#homestarrunnerdotcom|discussion]] it is best to hold off linking videos to that channel for now. Besides, a template might be better suited for formatting such links. Thanks! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:17, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Whoa there sparky, why not hold off on the rss stuff until we decide on a format? I also think that it's a bit premature to call it consensus (even though i'm of the same opinion.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:31, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Pipes

Hey there, I've noticed you adding piped to links to the new hremail... in general, we prefer linking to redirects where it makes sense to, for a bunch of reasons. I don't recall offhand where the discussion is that took place, but if you're curious, I could probably dig it up for you. Hope that helps! — Defender1031*Talk 05:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] It's never to late (can I get some help here)?

I see you said it was too late to come up with a clever account name. There is a page (who's name I forget) that can allow you to change your name if you sincerly want to. Could I get someone to back me up here? Someone who knows that page name? Well, in the meantime, maybe you would want to come up with a name that satisfies you. Okay bye. --Jellote wuz here 22:07, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

You see, the reason I added "Sort of" to the end of that paragraph was that I know it's possible to change my name, but even if I did, "Omnisweater" would still be left on all the talk pages I wrote on, and wherever I'm mentioned by somebody else I'd be called Omnisweater. Also, I've kinda gotten used to the name. But thanks for trying to help! Omnisweater 22:15, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Youtube links

Hey Omnisweater, Although the latest video suggests it, we're still not entirely sure if the channel is an official H*R channel. Until we settle it on a discussion it is best to hold off linking videos to that channel for now. Besides, a template might be better suited for formatting such links.

I don't know... The email independent was made into a DVD format, and this was just made about a month ago, and has not been released on DVD as of yet. Either it is The Brothers Chaps, or it is one good editor. That'sBupkis! 18:23, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
We have, like, three discussions going on about the same thing; I think it'd be better to continue this on the Main Page. Soiled Bargains (talk|ctrb) 18:28, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
