It's quite good, quite good

Welcome, brethren, to my userpage. I've been around for a long, long year, and I've seen the wiki go from a bustling 2007-era Homestar Runner to the completely dead era that is the current case now. I linger around for some reason, because I can't seem to detach myself from this website. It's like a curse.

On an unrelated note, I discovered I hold the record for the largest image uploaded to the wiki, at a whopping 4.66 megabytes.

This page has been vandalized [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] times.

MichaelXX2 has at least 17 dollars in his wallet right now. Bet that's less than you, poor person.

Well, I'm a guy who loves the Homestar Runner Wiki. You can call me Michael. I spent most of my time online on the HRWiki back in the day. Nowadays I don't really populate it much, and it's somewhat depressing that the number of active users has fallen so low. Recently though I've rekindled some of my interest in it because it has so much information about Homestar; the dumbest of things have pages on here. I imagine that had the wiki and the website itself not entered my life, it would have drastically altered the way I think and do things. I play the trumpet, electric guitar, and if I had to identify what I do on the internet these days, I would probably be in deep trouble with at least 3 government agencies.

How I discovered Homestar Runner

I discovered Homestar through a friend of mine when I was in the 5^th grade. He told me about Homestar Runner one day when an older kid told him about the site, and he never stopped talking about it. I never listened, because I didn't think it was worthwhile. When I had my end-of-the-school-year party, he showed me First Time Here? And I was all but dumbfounded. I wasn't very impressed until he showed me underlings, and I fell in love. After my friends left my house, I was foaming at the mouth in my desire to see more of this wonderful site. Unfortunately, I joined around the time Takin' a Baby Break was going on, so by the time the site was updated again, I had seen every cartoon, memorized the site, and seen almost every Strong Bad Email.

How I discovered the Homestar Runner Wiki

My amazing first edit ever. It was vandalism, but that page is special.

A long time ago, February 6 of 2008 to be exact, I was sitting in bed one night and I was watching Homestar Runner using the nifty Wii Browser. A few weeks prior, I accidentally discovered The Secrets That I Keep. I had an obsession of old home movie projectors at the time. I remembered the page title, so I Googled it. The link to the Wiki page was the first link to come up, so I clicked it. I saw the page and thought it was boring and didn't pay much attention to it. I scrolled down and found the link to the page on the website, and I ignored everything that was on the wiki page. After 3 times of visiting the wiki, I thought I should explore more. I clicked the Main Page button and I explored several articles. At that point, I embarked on a journey through the Homestar Runner Wiki.
