[edit] French Quote Winner!

Here's to guessworking and translating!

Congrats. -- Super Martyo boing! 22:08, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Yay! Thanks. I'll frame it and hang it on my wall for all to see :). — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 22:15, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I dont understand

I don't understand what is wrong with my pic but ill remove it anyway.

Seems it was too large. It's fine now, I believe. - Qermaq - (^T/C)

21:18, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

... er, it was before you deleted it. Some helpful guy had shrunk it for you. - Qermaq - (^T/C)

21:19, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, Breadsinger, I think you've got it now. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 22:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] labels

this was created in responce to a conversation here. It was talked about a while ago and I decided to try implementing it. It would be used on other pages only on a case by case basis if it was decided to be useful there. Thank you for the concern. Olleicua 16:34, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

See User talk:Olleicua#Template:label and Updates page

[edit] hey thanks

Hey thanks for informing me you could have the wiki prompt you about the summary. I didn't know you could do that and it's become real helpful in fighting the uh, disease. The disease I have that has impeded my ability to remember those things. lol.-- »Bleed0range« 06:39, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Heh. There's a lot of cool stuff in the preferences pages. Now that we upgraded the software to 1.8 I too need to go over it again and check for new stuff :). — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 07:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] E

Is the E short for Elliot? User:Fireworks 15:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

No, it's short for Elad, as it says so on my user page. What made you think it was for Elliot? — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 10:42, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heh

New guy pwned you. (Go forward one.) - Qermaq - (^T/C) 01:23, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Sup?

Dude! You work too hard. You've even missed our little party for this. Must intern faster! ;-) Loafing 10:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Hurrah! So I missed the little tea-party you probably had on IRC, so what? There will be other things to party about. By this Thursday I'll be free (or free-er) for WikiStuff. If you noticed, I did do some work on the various SBEmail lists for the new email, so I'm not as stressed as I was the week before. In this job I can schedule in what time of day I want to work, so maybe I'll leave wiki-heavy days free in US time rush hours for days like X-dween and some Mondays (We already have a guy in our group who asked Wednesdays off so he can play World of Warcraft...) — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 14:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

That'd be cool :-) I miss you, dude. Loafing

[edit] Someone familiar...

"Urgent need for grammar check by someone familiar with the subject."-you can't get anymore familiar than someone on this wiki, right?--H*Bad 13:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Uhh... Did I wrote that somewhere? Because I don't recall. Maybe you can enlighten me with a link or something. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 16:11, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help out

Hey, I'm thinking about creating a new page, but I don't know what to call it and I don't know all of its info. The page will be about interuppted names Strong Bad usually starts sounding out before getting interrupted by someone. Such as in bottom 10: He says, "and the number one spot in my bottom 10 is... Th--" and then gets interrupted. Please help out. I am sending this to all sysops. --TheYellowDart—(t/c)

[edit] Tears Fall

...I guess I don't have a good impression on you anymore. I guess I have a horrible future here... TheYellowDart—(t/c)

First of all, let me say that you have some good contribs under your belt, which I already wrote in the edit summary when I put you in. You got removed from the list for several reasons. Please read carefully, as I'm being as straightforward as possible, and please take it as constructive feedback for you so you can be a better editor and user.

You have too many user and user talk namespace contribs, that should be cut down and you should focus on main space with some talk page edits for a while. Leave your user page alone. Don't treat conversations like idle chatter, this is not IRC and people do not wish to know when you "log on" and when you "log off". We have patience to wait for your reply, even if it takes several hours. Also, don't snap on other users, even if you think they snapped on you first, doesn't matter if they are new, experienced or other. Be the bigger user. Take constructive criticism to heart and don't shut yourself from advice by blaming other people. I also noticed that said to be drinking cold ones while editing the wiki. Now, I don't know if you're referring to beer, but please try to edit the wiki only when sober.

Everything I said here was already said to you by other users on your talk page and various other talk pages. You would have stayed on the list, if only I saw you taking some of their advice and apply it instead of shrugging it off. I hope you learn from this, and you may wish to contribute the fine way that you do. :) — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 05:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, you're right. But i must say this: ROTFLOL! "Contribute when you are sober." ha ha. I don't drink. It's just a joke to play when I say something stupid. I'm a teenager. That would be illegal. Thanks for all of your help and I will learn to be the bigger user. Best wishes, TheYellowDart—(t/c)

Well, I'm not implying anything, but some teenagers drink, so I kinda took those statements literally... Thanks for reading all that, and most importantly - Have fun wikiing! — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 05:26, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

Hey there Elcoolio, thanks for setting my welcome page straight I R F 15:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi man, no probalo. I was just fixing that image everywhere (most of it was on talk pages you welcomed :P) — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 17:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sounds like a job for...

GrapeNuts! --Stux 00:51, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind. --Stux 00:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

The only thing that's left is your subpage, but I couldn't find where the link to the image is. Can you help? — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 05:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

done!

I R F

06:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I had actually searched for them after I typed "nevermind", and they weren't there. The were inside {{tick}}. I realized they must be caused by cached information not being updated quick enough to show the actual link information, thus making it hard to properly assess which files were still linked directly. The images for {{done}} and {{todo}} have similar problems. Dunno if the same has been done for them. If it was up to me, I'd call it a bug! :) --Stux 07:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wow! That's sooo cool of you!

Hi Elcool! I just checked out your user page, and saw my user name under "New Users I Like To Watch"! That made me really happy, especially since I'm up there with such users as Shwoo and The Joe, (both users who have made a great impression on me too)! So thanks for that!

I'd also like to thank you for a different reason. When I first started editing on the wiki, I actually sent you an (embarrassing) email concerning an editing issue I had had. Well, you emailed me back, giving me tons of useful info about how to properly interact on the wiki talk pages! So thanks for that too! Okay, see ya 'round the wiki! kai lyn 23:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm very glad you noticed. That new list of users are for ones that's been here for less then 4 months and have less then 1000 contribs and still great editors in my opinion. Those who did major namespace contribs, had good and civil opinions on talk pages, helped other users in need and that are truly trying to be a better user for the sole propose of being a better user.

I remember your emails and I still keep them. I'm happy they got put into good use since I spent a good deal of time writing them. Have a good day, — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 05:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Israel

So, what's it like in Israel? On the news in the USA, all we here is bombings, but there is obviously more to Israel than that. --Zerlock1124

Thanks for taking interest in my country, dude. There is much more to Israel then what you see on the news. As a matter of fact all the news does it distort the truth so it looks like the whole country is being bombarded, which is simply not true. We did had that war in the north two months ago, and one town is being fired at in the south, but it doesn't affect the day-to-day life of the rest 98% of the country.

Beyond what you see in the news, we have a wonderful country, that's have almost every landscape but smaller (as we are small. About the size of New Jersey) - Forests, mountains, a snowy peak, a beautiful sea-shore, a coral reef (the most north in the world), lakes (including the lowest and only in the world - the Dead Sea!), a desert, small towns (like the various Kibbutzim), skyscraper cities, ancient cities, holy places... I don't think there's a single place our size in the whole world that have them all in a driving distance.

When we took our country from the British, most of were scattered all over the world. When we all immigrated (a process which is still going) there was a kind of a culture clash that gave us one unique culture of food, music, language, traditions and lifestyle.

If you'd like, I can explain more, as you see I'm very patriotic and love this place I call Israel. :) — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 17:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm very curious about the Dead Sea. How big is it and what's it like? --Dacheatbot · Communicate 23:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "WA" Y WIKI??? WOW!!!!!

Well, hey, Elcool. I noticed you're a member of the Weird Al Wiki, and I am extremely excited. I always knew that there'd be other Al-oholics out there. (No, that's NOT a beer joke, it's what we fans call ourselves.) Set up a post on my talk page an we'll talk Al and H*R, OK? -WeirdAl (talk · 21:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] These Personal Images Will Self-Destruct...

Hey, E.L. Cool. Since we're both online together, I'd thought I'll ask you something. Do you still need these two images anymore:

Seeing as the first has been replaced and the second is not in use, I'd thought I'd help clear up the Wiki a little bit by possibly setting them up for deletion. If you still want to hold onto them, let me know and no futher action will be taken. Otherwise, I don't think there's any need to keep them. Cheerio, – T he C hort 19:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't see any compelling reason to delete those. — It's dot com 19:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

About abandoned images: Our way of action so far have not to delete them, unless by the request of the user they used to belong to. Several months ago Me and Thunderbird cleaned the abandoned images of several inactive users, but I don't think that's going to happen again in the near future, unless some server problem is going to threaten us.

About unused old menus: Like the Toons Menu image, the TGS Menu image should also be updated in the same file name. I was wrong back then to upload it in a different name, so I want to check with the other sysops if we can delete it and what affect it will have on the page's history. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 19:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I understand. It's just that some people remove personal images from their user pages and then forget about them completely. I just thought I could help by asking any active users if they want to keep them. If they don't want them deleted, that's fine. And I understand there's isn't a severe server problem that means we can't store unused personal images. I just wanted to help the wiki. Nevermind the bullocks, – T he C hort 19:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Archiving Delight

Hey E.L.Cool! What's up? I just wanted to let you know that you missed an archive linking there. That's all. So keep an eye on these things. Later! --Stux 15:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks man. I guess I missed it because all of the open tabs I had at the moment. I looked for the best way to archive and started with Talk:Main Page-style one, but I found we only used it for HRWiki talks, so I started again with the Talk:Strong Bad Email template you see now. So my tabs were kind of a mess, as you could see. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 15:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah! Makes sense. I figured it was because it was the first archive for that page. I don't think that the Main Page Talk's archive style is used anywhere else (It might be kinda nice to see it a bit more though). Most archives I know follow somethink like the SBEmail Templates. --Stux 15:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1337 Box Flaw

I've noticed that your 1337 User Box had a flaw. It says that you can "(0|\||218|_|" [with an advanced form of leet], but it should say that you can "(0|\|7|218|_|73" [with an advanced form of leet].

[edit] Yerushalayim

Hey, ELcool, nice to hear from you. No, I'm not Israeli, I'm from NY. I lived in Jerusalem last year (in the Ir Ha'Atikah!) while I was in yeshiva. Yes, I speak hebrew. much love, TheDude 01:49, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

That's pretty cool. I kinda speculated that you're not a localman, but probably a student/yeshiva guy. Did you ever get to visit the Tel-Aviv area? How well do you know Hebrew? You could help translating subtitles :) — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 07:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 10,000th visit

Hey, E.L. Cool. Your ppage has now been visited 10,000 times! Congraduration! Homestar-Winner (talk) 11:12, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Heh. Thanks! This is truly a milestone in the wiki's history. The wiki history? The world! I should notify BBC, CNN and DDT about it! Well... Does it count that most of these are my visitings? I just leave all the useful links to pages I work on here. Well, thank you again Home-win for the info :) — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 03:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

You should at least tell FOX! ;) Good ol' FOX! Homestar-Winner (talk) 00:41, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] E.L. Cool/templates

I figured you might like to be informed of this: your template page contains 40 HTML errors. This is because HTML does not support calling an ID more than once to utilize CSS. The simple fix to this problem is to change all id="navbox" lines to class="navbox".· · T ²|_Things 18:02, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yay!

You won Person of the day! Reason: Like your username, you are a pretty cool guy. Numa Numa!! (T*C)

Thank you. I'm honored. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 21:38, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hebrew preferences image

Hey, E.L. — I made a version of the preferences image with Hebrew letters here for User:E.L. Cool/Welcome/he. Let me know if I should change anything! Trey56 23:02, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

It looks perfect! But... You made a mistake. The forth letter is Talet (ד). You used Resh (ר). I know they are similar looking and why you were confused. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 00:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Aha, I'll fix it straightaway... I tried to double-check everything, but I guess one slipped through.

Trey56 00:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I think it should be fixed now.

Trey56 00:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

Hey Cool! Thought I'd drop by to thank you for making Category:STUFF Templates. (I just noticed your flood of edits because I just woke up. Who eats breakfast these days anyway?) I'll make sure to give you credit on my userpage. But as a few final requests, the {{funfacts2}} template still bothers me, since we don't use it. That, and the {{checkstuffpage}} also belongs under STUFF Templates, but it was categorized before I suggested the new category. Thanks again! — ^Sam_Fisher _{(Come in, Lambert.)} 12:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi man. I kinda did it without knowing you already categorized a million templates. I just went over the new special pages and looked for stuff to do. Now that I've looked at you contributions, you did an awesome job there with all the other templates! I don't know about funfacts2, but it's part of the wiki history, so we keep it. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 14:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC) P.S.: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! :

[edit] Happy Coolday!

Happy Cool. May you never run out of... erm... whatever you don't want to run out of. ;-) Loafing 09:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, very minor an unnoticeable change indeed :-p! Welcome to our side of the fence! Merry Christmas and Happy New _____ Day! (likely candidates are Cool, fun, new year's, and birth). --Stux 02:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Enjoy your day. I am older than you. - Qermaq - (^T/C) 10:16, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Just a couple more eons, and I'll be almost half your age, grandpa! ;) — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 19:25, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Let n be the number of years in an eon, and assuming that in two eons E.L. Cool will be exactly half Qermaq's age, we have:

$20+2n=\frac{1}{2}\times(Q+2n)$

Solving for Q we get:

$2\times(20+2n)=Q+2n$

40 + 4 n = Q + 2 n

Q = 40 + 2 n

In geological terms, Q would be, on average: $Q=40+2\times550,000,000=1,100,000,040$ . However, if we take the sidereal definition of an eon: $Q=40+2\times1,000,000,000=2,000,000,040$ (years). QED. The definitions of some variables and values are left for the reader to determine. --Stux 21:26, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I think this is a pretty accurate, considering how old Q's now. Oh, people with too much time on their hands... — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 07:22, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I've been gone the last 3 days, so since I don't have a time machine, I guess I'll just have to wish you a happy birthday. Umm... backwards. *preeeeow* —BazookaJoe 21:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey dude. I reverted it not because it was about conservative people. It was because main-space talk pages (talk pages for regular wiki articles) is no place for politics. Jokingly, or otherwise. They are used exclusively for discussing that article. In our case, the interview. No hard feelings, Just letting you know. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 16:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion

I think you reverted your "pirate talk" too far - it went back to the last edit not made by you, which was over two years ago. In fact, your user page now says that you're nineteen years old again. I'm guessing that this was not deliberate. --Jay (Gobble) 08:43, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

To stop by the IRC channel and say hi to us sometime! Seriously. I know there's not much HR stuff to talk about, but we'd be glad to just, you know, talk about other stuff!

[edit] Weclome back!

Hi Elcool,
Weclome back! I see you have come back with a bang! Also, this greeting is long overdue! Although, personally, I'm not so sure all double redirects needed to be fixed it's still good to see that items that had been set aside for a long time are now back up to date! So, I think your housekeeping has been a positive for the wiki!
Now, I saw somewhere that you mentioned interest in a discord server? Personally I don't use discord (yet?) so I'm none-too-familiar with it except for I know IRC-discord bridges exist. It's been mentioned once before so your mention also caught my eye. I'm still old school and lurking on IRC. Feel free to visit, you might catch me there! ;)
Finally, I find that you've transitioned to full-time astronomy absolutely fascinating! I'm a big fan of PBS Spacetime, Veritasium and the like! It's been a while since I've visited APOD too. Staring up a telescope (or a screen tracking one) is something I wish I had time to do. The light pollution where I live (and lack of any viewing equipment) doesn't help things! XD Also congrats on getting "merried"! I hope you and Mrs. cool are doing well!
I think that's it for now. Oh, yeah, as for me not much is new: I've been working with an IP company for the last 6 years in the Metro Detroit area, working on paying down my debts. I'm fortunate to be able to work from home but the workload can be rather stressful. ^_^; At least I've been on vacation this week which is nice. More time to edit the wiki! :D Cheers! --Stux 19:39, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi man! It's good to be back. Because of all the 2020 stuff going around, I'm finding myself at home more more as time goes on. So looking for distractions, I went back and watched a whole bunch of older toons, then I found this Facebook group, then this podcast, then I thought to myself... Why not come back to the wiki? I bet there's stuff to do. Being on the wiki felt great all these years ago. The community, the feeling of creating something, being in a place where being pedantic and meticulous was the norm. I needed that. That's why the first thing I did was going over the Spaciel Pages seeing if there's any gnoming to do. I don't know if all those double redirects needed to be fixed, but It was nice doing that anyways. Same with pages that were marked for speedy deletion FOR YEARS.

I also don't use Discord. Like, I have a username I registered just to see a discussion this one time, but I don't think I'm part of a community that have one that I feel like I want to discuss things with them on that level... Except for HRWiki. I still remember hanging on IRC for hours, just shooting the breeze... I still want this experience, but just, y'know, adopted for the 20's.

Doing astronomy teaching full time IS the best job ever! Seeing excited childrem (Mainly on Zoom now...) looking wide-eyed on all the space nerdity I love. And yeah, those Youtube channeles you mentioned are some great resources I use to find way to simply explain complicated topics. Also, Mr. Weinberger-Cool send her regards (she kept her last name) — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 07:55, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

First and foremost, for the record, I wasn't trying to passively aggressively point out a typo. I legitimately thought you had made a portmanteau of "merry" and "married"! I thought it was cool so I wanted to point it out! Well, anyway, now I know better ^_^;

Oh wow, a podcast that's actively publishing content about Homestar runner! That's crazy and cool! I wish I had time to listen to some episodes (maybe I'll listen to one). Work makes it hard for me to make time for things such as this. My vacation ended too :( *pouts*. Oh well.

The community, the feeling of creating something, being in a place where being pedantic and meticulous was the norm. I needed that.

I can totally relate to that. Especially the "pendantic and meticulous" part! XD But it feels good to contribute something to this wiki, even if it's about "dumb animal characters". That's probably why I still edit to the wiki on and off after all these years! Man how time flies... We're already in the 20's, but why is it not roaring? Maybe it's a different kind of roar.

Even at my age I go wide eyed at the things I see and read about when it comes to astronomy! My heart broke when I heard the news of the collapse of the Arecibo Telescope, especially since I'm from Puerto Rico! I look forward to whatever comes next but the next big thing, Gravitational-wave astronomy, is still in its infancy and decades away from maturing. I'm hoping one day we'll get to have a "gravitational CCD" detector of sorts, even if it's the size of our solar system. In the meantime, I'd settle for reconstructing the Arecibo Radiotelescope.

Finally, please send my regards back to Mrs. Weinberger-Cool! I hope she shares some of your interest in Astronomy and Homestar. (Btw you wrote "Mr." above :-P ). --Stux 12:47, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

[edit] vandalism?

I started adding Sbemail menu descriptions yesterday, because someone had added them to some kinda robot through lures and jigs, even though this guy didn’t have the clear yet. This is considered vandalism, so please give this guy a warning or something. (The edits for some reason aren’t in the history section for some reason). Thank you, and go and suck your thumb.

Please read carefully, as I'm being as straightforward as possible, and please take it as constructive feedback for you so you can be a better editor and user.
+:You have too many user and user talk namespace contribs, that should be cut down and you should focus on main space with some talk page edits for a while. Leave your user page alone. Don't treat conversations like idle chatter, this is not IRC and people do not wish to know when you "log on" and when you "log off". We have patience to wait for your reply, even if it takes several hours. Also, don't snap on other users, even if you think they snapped on you first, doesn't matter if they are new, experienced or other. Be the bigger user. Take constructive criticism to heart and don't shut yourself from advice by blaming other people. I also noticed that said to be drinking cold ones while editing the wiki. Now, I don't know if you're referring to beer, but please try to edit the wiki only when sober.

+==Israel==
+So, what's it like in Israel? On the news in the USA, all we here is bombings, but there is obviously more to Israel than that. --[[User:Zerlock1124|Zerlock1124]]
+:Thanks for taking interest in my country, dude. There is much more to Israel then what you see on the news. As a matter of fact all the news does it distort the truth so it looks like the whole country is being bombarded, which is simply not true. We did had that war in the north two months ago, and one town is being fired at in the south<!--crap... that doesn't sound so inviting, now, is it?-->, but it doesn't affect the day-to-day life of the rest 98% of the country.
+:Beyond what you see in the news, we have a wonderful country, that's have almost every landscape but smaller (as we ''are'' small. About the size of New Jersey) - Forests, mountains, a snowy peak, a beautiful sea-shore, a coral reef (the most north in the world), lakes (including the lowest and only in the world - the Dead Sea!), a desert, small towns (like the various Kibbutzim), skyscraper cities, ancient cities, holy places... I don't think there's a single place our size in the whole world that have them all in a driving distance.
+:When we took our country from the British, most of were scattered all over the world. When we all immigrated (a process which is still going) there was a kind of a culture clash that gave us one unique culture of food, music, language, traditions and lifestyle.
+:If you'd like, I can explain more, as you see I'm very patriotic and love this place I call Israel. :) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

+== "WA" Y WIKI??? WOW!!!!! ==
+Well, hey, Elcool. I noticed you're a member of the Weird Al Wiki, and I am extremely excited. I always knew that there'd be other Al-oholics out there. (No, that's NOT a beer joke, it's what we fans call ourselves.) Set up a post on my talk page an we'll talk Al and H*R, OK? -{{User:WeirdAl/sig}} 21:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
+== These Personal Images Will Self-Destruct... ==
+Hey, E.L. Cool. Since we're both online together, I'd thought I'll ask you something. Do you still need these two images anymore:
+*[[:Image:TGSMenu11.PNG]]
+*[[:Image:Frappr200.PNG]]
+Seeing as the first has been replaced and the second is not in use, I'd thought I'd help clear up the Wiki a little bit by possibly setting them up for deletion. If you still want to hold onto them, let me know and no futher action will be taken. Otherwise, I don't think there's any need to keep them. Cheerio, {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
+:I don't see any compelling reason to delete those. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
+::About abandoned images: Our way of action so far have not to delete them, unless by the request of the user they used to belong to. Several months ago Me and Thunderbird cleaned the abandoned images of several inactive users, but I don't think that's going to happen again in the near future, unless some server problem is going to threaten us.
+::About unused old menus: Like the Toons Menu image, the TGS Menu image should also be updated in the same file name. I was wrong back then to upload it in a different name, so I want to check with the other sysops if we can delete it and what affect it will have on the page's history. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
+:::I understand. It's just that some people remove personal images from their user pages and then forget about them completely. I just thought I could help by asking any active users if they want to keep them. If they don't want them deleted, that's fine. And I understand there's isn't a severe server problem that means we can't store unused personal images. I just wanted to help the wiki.

+Hey E.L.Cool! What's up?  I just wanted to let you know that you {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk%3AQuote_of_the_Week&diff=429983&oldid=429938 missed}} an archive linking there. That's all. So keep an eye on these things. Later! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
+:Thanks man. I guess I missed it because all of the open tabs I had at the moment. I looked for the best way to archive and started with [[Talk:Main Page]]-style one, but I found we only used it for HRWiki talks, so I started again with the [[Talk:Strong Bad Email]] template you see now. So my tabs were kind of a mess, as you could see. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
+::Ah! Makes sense. I figured it was because it was the first archive for that page. I don't think that the Main Page Talk's archive style is used anywhere else (It might be kinda nice to see it a bit more though). Most archives I know follow somethink like the SBEmail Templates. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

+== Weclome back! ==
+Hi Elcool,<br/>
+Weclome back! I see you have come back with a bang! Also, this greeting is long overdue!  Although, personally, I'm not so sure all double redirects needed to be fixed it's still good to see that items that had been set aside for a long time are now back up to date! So, I think your housekeeping has been a positive for the wiki! <br/>
+Now, I saw somewhere that you mentioned interest in a [[Wikipedia:Discord (software)|discord]] server?  Personally I don't use discord (yet?) so I'm none-too-familiar with it except for I know IRC-discord bridges exist. It's been mentioned once before so your mention also caught my eye.  I'm still old school and lurking on IRC.  Feel free to visit, you might catch me there! ;) <br/>
+Finally, I find that you've transitioned to full-time astronomy absolutely fascinating! I'm a big fan of {{wp|PBS Spacetime}}, {{wp|Veritasium}} and the like! It's been a while since I've visited {{wp|APOD}} too. Staring up a telescope (or a screen tracking one) is something I wish I had time to do.  The light pollution where I live (and lack of any viewing equipment) doesn't help things! XD  Also congrats on getting "merried"! I hope you and Mrs. cool are doing well! <br/>
+I think that's it for now. Oh, yeah, as for me not much is new: I've been working with an [[Wikipedia:Intellectual Property|IP]] company for the last 6 years in the Metro Detroit area, working on paying down my debts.  I'm fortunate to be able to work from home but the workload can be rather stressful. ^_^; At least I've been on vacation this week which is nice.  More time to edit the wiki! :D Cheers!  --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:39, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
+:Hi man! It's good to be back. Because of all the 2020 stuff going around, I'm finding myself at home more more as time goes on. So looking for distractions, I went back and watched a whole bunch of older toons, then I found [https://www.facebook.com/groups/homestarrunnercrapposting this] Facebook group, then [https://www.pipedreampodcasts.com/come-on-fhqwhpods this] podcast, then I thought to myself... Why not come back to the wiki? I bet there's stuff to do. Being on the wiki felt great all these years ago. The community, the feeling of creating something, being in a place where being pedantic and meticulous was the norm. I needed that. That's why the first thing I did was going over the Spaciel Pages seeing if there's any gnoming to do. I don't ''know'' if all those double redirects ''needed'' to be fixed, but It was nice doing that anyways. Same with pages that were marked for speedy deletion FOR YEARS.
+:I also don't use Discord. Like, I have a username I registered just to see a discussion this one time, but I don't think I'm part of a community that have one that I feel like I want to discuss things with them on that level... Except for HRWiki. I still remember hanging on IRC for hours, just shooting the breeze... I still want this experience, but just, y'know, adopted for the 20's.
+:Doing astronomy teaching full time IS the best job ever! Seeing excited childrem <small>(Mainly on Zoom now...)</small> looking wide-eyed on all the space nerdity I love. And yeah, those Youtube channeles you mentioned are some great resources I use to find way to simply explain complicated topics. Also, Mr. Weinberger-Cool send her regards (she kept her last name) {{User:Elcool/sig}} 07:55, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
+::First and foremost, for the record, I wasn't trying to {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Elcool&diff=795327&oldid=794833&rcid=758261 passively aggressively point out a typo}}.  I legitimately thought you had made a [[portmanteau]] of "merry" and "married"! I thought it was cool so I wanted to point it out! Well, anyway, now I know better ^_^;
+::Oh wow, a podcast that's actively publishing content about Homestar runner!  That's crazy and cool! I wish I had time to listen to some episodes (maybe I'll listen to one).  Work makes it hard for me to make time for things such as this. My vacation ended too :( *pouts*.  Oh well.
+:::<blockquote> The community, the feeling of creating something, being in a place where being pedantic and meticulous was the norm. I needed that.</blockquote>
+::I can totally relate to that.  Especially the "pendantic and meticulous" part! XD  But it feels good to contribute something to this wiki, even if it's about "dumb animal characters".   That's probably why I still edit to the wiki on and off after all these years! Man how time flies...  We're already in the 20's, but why is it not roaring?  Maybe it's a different kind of roar.
+::Even at my age I go wide eyed at the things I see and read about when it comes to astronomy! My heart broke when I heard the news of the collapse of the {{wp|Arecibo Telescope}}, especially since I'm from Puerto Rico! I look forward to whatever comes next but the next big thing, {{wp|Gravitational-wave astronomy}}, is still in its infancy and decades away from maturing.  I'm hoping one day we'll get to have a "gravitational CCD" detector of sorts, even if it's the size of our solar system.  In the meantime, I'd settle for reconstructing the Arecibo Radiotelescope.
+::Finally, please send my regards back to Mrs. Weinberger-Cool!  I hope she shares some of your interest in Astronomy and Homestar.  (Btw you wrote "Mr." above :-P ). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 12:47, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
