Search trends on Google for "Homestar Runner" peaked during late March 2004, but have since declined steadily to incredibly low values compared to 2004. The most likely cause for this sudden increase in searches seems to have been caused by the release of Strong Bad Email #100, flashback, at this time. But this raises the question of why there has not been any other similar surges upon the release of more recent milestones and landmarks on the site. Could it be that the hype surrounding the site has long since died down as people lose interest and visit other Internet memes? Also, the website sure is popular in Salt Lake City! Any fans from there on here? Are there any fanclubs? – The Chort 18:42, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- If that's an actual question that you want answered here, it could mean that more people know about Homestar Runner, so they don't need to search for it. This isn't necessarily a downward fall for the site. Thy Not Dennis (t/c) 21:55, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- I wonder if the high popularity in Salt Lake City has something to do with the furniture store.
