Discussions with Thunderbird

Word

The speed with which you checked and fixed my comment was just amazing. I will debate that since my comment was a quote from strongbad himself in the movie, it can be considered a funfacthood. However, it's ok.

It looks like people like you do a great job at keeping this place sweet and I'm sure there'd be a lot of garbage around without you.

I think HSR Wiki is da bomb and really adds to the HSR series. My faovrite use of it so far is using it to locate secret stuff :-).

--- Homestar Runner Wiki. It's dot ORG! ---

Awww man, I haven't gotten ANY mail yet, hate or otherwise. Maybe I need to step up my workage. Either way, yea, you're doing great. I had no idea you were only a sixth grader. Makes me feel... Old. And your sig inspires me to one day upgrade mine. -- Thunderbird 00:45, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)  :)

Yep. Just a sixth grader. And you're doing great on your workage. You've been working on a lot of big projects lately (Strong Bad Email By Name, place), and you deserve some mail. In fact...→FireBird

Oh thank you. I still have to work on the Costumes alot more. I've been kinda leaving the info section adrift this whole time. But yea, I thought you meant ACTUAL in-your-inbox-email. Yea, I've gotten chatter and stuff on my talk page, but still no hate-talk. Still, maybe one day I'll have the priviledge of revert a troll from my Userspace or something... -- Thunderbird 09:07, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

Oh, no. I really don't think anyone knows my e-mail address around here. But anyways, I noticed that you had a lot of clutter in you talk page, and I was wondering why you said you hadn't had any mail. And maybe you will get the priviledge of reverting a troll from your userspace. Even though it's not really a priviledge. It's more of an annoyance. :) → FireBird

Hey Fire, me again. I saw your awsome sig, and I was wondering... Would you mind if I kind of... semi-copied it? Not exactly the same, just the same kind of format, only in gold color for Thunder. Then we'd be like... The twin birds of power on this Wiki! Anyways, if you don't want me to do it, feel free to tell me and I'll completely change it in like 10 seconds. I don't want to tread on any toes, and if you want a different sig I completely understand. But here it is for now, please give me an answer sometime soon. Thanks.

[[User:Thunderbird L17|→ Thunderbird]] 01:42, 27 Nov 2004 (MST)

'P.S.' If it is okay with you for me to keep it, then how can I get the blue line out from under the arrow. Also, is it possible to exchange the arrow for different symbols? If so how? Just to make it a little less... Copied. Anyways, once again, if it's okay with you for me to keep my sig, then could you give me pointers on just what all the symbols mean and how I can change them to ultimate my sig? Thanks again.

[[User:Thunderbird L17|→ Thunderbird]] The Raw Code: →''<small><tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|<font color=gold> Thunderbird</font>]]</tt></small>''

Hey. That's a nice sig, and I don't mind if you keep it.

To get the arrow un-linked, the code should look like this:

→''<small><tt>[[User:ThunderBird L17|<font color=gold>Thunderbird</font>]]</tt></small>''

If it does, then I'm really not sure what to do.

And if you want to change the arrow for different symbols, there is a full list in the Editing Help page. →FireBird

What the heck? I can't get the arrow unlinked... Unless... Do you cut and paste your signature each time, or do you have it set in your Preferences and use the ~~~ meathod to display it? Because I have it set in Preferences and the Arrow is linked as well. If I just cut and paste it looks like this:

⇒ Thunderbird

But if I use the shortcut then it becomes linked.

[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇒Thunderbird]]

So thats probably it. Correct me if I'm wrong. But other than that it looks awsome.

P.S. If you had yours red, then it would be like twin sigs, red for Fire, and Gold for Thunder... :) I don't know if this is gonna be my final sig design, but it looks pretty good and close now. Thanks for all your help. I'm gonna see if I can find a little bird symbol somewhere and cut and paste it, instead of the arrow. But it's pretty close now.

(Oh, and I fixed your spelling on your main page. Put it back if that's the way you wanted it.)

Well I just copy and paste it from my user page, so that's probably the reason. Also, you need to type out "→" for the arrow when you cut and paste. But if it looks like this:

→''<small><tt>[[User:ThunderBird L17|<font color=gold>Thunderbird</font>]]</tt></small>''

with "→ spelled out, it should work out. You do probably need to put it on your user page and copy and paste it every time you need it.

Oh. And I really don't want to make my signiture red because then it might look like a broken link. →FireBird(For some reason, "nowiki" isn't "nowiki"ing the arrow code. So when you reply back, just look here for the code for the arrow.)

I believe the right arrow (→) can be show on a page as "&rarr;". All one has to do is put "&amp;rarr;" in the edit box. You just have to be one step ahead of MediaWiki with those ampersands. Whoa, that's confusing. -- Tom 14:21, 28 Nov 2004 (MST)

I see. Thanks. →FireBird

Yea, you can also just cut and paste the arrow, thats what I did here: → so it seems to work fine. And for your sig in your preferances, so you can do the ~~~~ meathod with the time stamp, it does just link everything, including the arrow. But I've got a remedy of sorts for it so it doesn't look so out of place, and I think my sig looks mighty good now. Thanks for all your help. [[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]

Oh great, now it only links the first one... Oh well, it's a work in progress... [[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔ Thunderbird ⇔]] 00:11, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

Okay, my sig is done. Thanks for your help, and sorry that this conversation kinda spiraled into a huge mass of text. Feel free to condence it or what not now, since this conversation can probably finally be put to rest. What do you think of it?

My New Sig:

[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]] 19:24, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

Pretty dern awesome. →FireBird

20x6 Marzipan's name

(Please paste this message into all users' discussion pages and send an answer to this message to me and encourage others to send an answer to this message to me.) I encourage you as 20x6 fan to think up a name for 20x6 Marzipan!

I encourage you to not post this on other user talk pages or else they will get very annoyed. And no. She needs no name unless she has an official name given by the Brothers Chaps. →FireBird

Factoid Inquiry

Have you any particularly developed reason why you removed my fun factoid of inside jokedom on animal? ("Homestar's love of trees was first hailed in "Sensitive To Bees" from the Strong Bad Sings CD. No word yet on why he loves steep prices, though.") Your removal of it was never fully explained, and yet the factoid certainly seems like a relatively interesting link to me. After all, as per the Easter Egg, Homestar noticeably mentions "Steep prices and trees," and since Homestar has mentioned trees before on the SB CD, and since not all Homestarverse fans have the CD, I thought it worth a mention. If you feel otherwise, of course, that's fine. Small cog. Big wheel. Carry on. -- Queenie-C

I just thought that is was a pretty far stretch to be a reference to the CD. But if you feel that it needs to be put back, maybe you could stick it in STUFF. (At least, I think you can. I'm kind of confused about that place.) Oh, and thanks for asking me nicely, and not throwing a hissy-fit like most people. -- →FireBird

Aww. Trees, man! It's all about the trees! And the ants! Fine, fine, I guess it is a bit of a stretch.
And say, incidentally, I had a hissy-fit once. But then I baked it into a cake and ate it. -- Queenie-C

Cakes are good. Especially chocolate. →FireBird

And cherry chip. [[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]
