From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 22:50, 15 September 2005

Hey, this is Lapper here, a.k.a Alex. Although I'm not as active here at the wiki as I probably should be, where you can really see me in action at the Gmail This! blog. Homestar Runner has been a large intrest of mine for a long time, and I hope to see that it keeps doing as well as this wiki is.

Science, again! I said science, again!

I was turned on to Homestar at the same time the stunt double SBemail came out, around July 2003. It was then that I first saw Homestar at a local Science Center's Internet station, saw Strong Bad do all of his own stunts, and I was hooked immediately. Soon after, I showed my younger sister and we became superfans, patrolling the site to look for new things, and new eggs.

No, I'm pretty sure it was dot wiki.

Around late 2004, I discovered the Homestar Wiki through a Google search some forgotten Saturday morning. I was amazed with how the wiki knew what was on the Homestar site before even I did. The first page I went to on the wiki was the Running Gags page. Within a few days, the small band of sysops grew with sysop elections. I remember chuckling when The Paper was unsure whether he could nominate himself, but now I realize how valuable all the sysops are to the wiki.

What's the best thing you've ever seen; done; eaten?

Well, I don't know about that, but how about these substitues?

Memories

• Sysop elections (see above)
• The new main page design
• The super-cool Strong Bad Email CSS design. It was a welcome change from the normal blue dotted edge box.
• Finally figuring out where the name InterruptorJones came from.
