By [[H*R.com updates 2002|2002]], the site had established a schedule of updating weekly; between 2005 and 2009 there were several minor hiatuses from this pace. The site underwent a major hiatus from 2010 through 2014. Since then, [[homestarrunner.com]] has adopted a new, slower pace of updates.	+

-	Matt and Jackie had their second child in the fall of 2009, which was announced in a special entry on the [[FeedBurner Page#Stuff - New Baby vs. Updates!|FeedBurner page]] that requested readers "please be patient with updates".

-	In interviews from [[The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show Interview - 7 July 2014|2014]] and [[Vox Interview - 6 Oct 2015|2015]], The Brothers Chaps attributed this to the birth of Matt and Jackie's second baby, [[The Brothers Chaps' Side Projects|side projects]], and creative burnout.

And so we started talking to people out in Los Angeles, and then some of that stuff started to actually move forward. So we were like, okay, if we want to keep pursuing this we kind of need to put Homestar on hold to try to put all our weight behind that stuff. And so that's what we started doing, and I ended up actually moving out to Los Angeles for a few years and we got to do a bunch of cool stuff and work with a bunch of cool people and work on a bunch of cool shows.</blockquote>	+	[[concert]]: '''STRONG BAD:''' Nope.

Matt was moving back to Atlanta from LA, and we had over the years been talking about the characters more, and situations would come up, and we'd say, "Oh, Strong Bad should say this!" Once we decided that we had some ideas, the fact that people still cared was fantastic.</blockquote>	+	[[hygiene]]: '''STRONG BAD:''' No matter what he does.

-	'''JEFF RUBIN:''' I bet you get that on a daily basis, whether you know it or not, like in your email or somewhere. That must happen all the time, right?<br>	+
-	'''MATT:''' Well, I hope it does, 'cause that would be very encouraging. I feel like the consensus is that we stopped because we didn't want to do it, and I hate for people to think that we've been sitting in a pool with a martini sort of laughing at the Internet, like, "What fools! We'll never make you a Strong Bad Email again!" It's very much the opposite. My brother and I have lived the last three or four years still thinking in our brains that we're gonna be making a new cartoon next week, and we would routinely text each other dumb jokes from a Homestar line or a Strong Bad line that will probably never happen. So, we've been wanting to do this stuff. [...] It's not that we were like, "We hated it, we wanted to take a break." No, the rest of the world has influenced us in a way where we have to take a little time off, and there literally hasn't been time to do them. So that's why the April Fools' thing was definitely like, "All right, we've got the time. We're gonna do it. We're gonna see if anybody gives a crap anymore. And if they do then the goal will be to start making more stuff, hopefully on a more frequent basis."<br>	+

-	'''MATT:''' It seemed like it. Maybe it was a fluke just because it was the first one we've done. I don't know if there will be diminishing returns or not, but just based on that alone it's enough to make us want to give it a try again.	+
