The title is obviously kind of vague, but I just realized another problem I have with it: it's not even really accurate. Specifically the word "inspired". The change in Bubs's arms likely wasn't inspired by the Georgia Tech talk, it was inspired by a difficulty animating him, which they just happened to mention there. Homestar's half-open mouth almost certainly wasn't inspired by Matt saying he wouldn't get one. The title should be something less speculative of where the Chaps get their ideas; something like "Content That Addresses Things The Brothers Chaps Have Previously Said", but shorter. (I chose to phrase it in a way that also avoids the word "Appearances" so it can include commentaries, as suggested above 14 years ago. Stuff like the name "Lappy 486" and the events of [[do over]] being thought of during commentaries.) {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig}} 05:01, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

The title is obviously kind of vague, but I just realized another problem I have with it: it's not even really accurate. Specifically the word "inspired". The change in Bubs's arms likely wasn't inspired by the Georgia Tech talk, it was inspired by a difficulty animating him, which they just happened to mention there.

Since writing that last message, I rewrote the whole page to get a better sense of what the title should be. I've come up with Discussions Influencing Future Content. It's still not quite accurate — the content is influenced by the subject of the discussion, not necessarily the discussion itself — but I can't think of anything that strikes a better balance between short and descriptive.
