was [[User_talk:Homestar Runnar|Homestar Runnar]]. Not new. Just thought I'd mention it.... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

== Happy easter ==

Hello thingy, how are you, how's easter (If you celebrate it?)?

Snything happen recently?

[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 01:56, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
:Hi, Nikolce Kocovski, Yea I celebrate Easter. It's good. I get a bunch of candy. (Who wouldn't like ''that''?) I won't be on here today. Going to my cousins house. So, that's it. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 15:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

==Fifth Warning==

Hey The thing. I've noticed that you ''once again'' have uploaded another personal image without abandoning one of your previous personal images first. This is getting very tiresome, as you have been warned [[User talk:The thing/archive#personal images|time]] [[User talk:The thing/archive 3#Personal Images (again)|and]] [[User talk:The thing/archive 5#Personal Images|time]] [[User talk:The thing/archive 5#Images|before]]. You can easily check [[Special:Personalimages#T|here]] how many personal images you have, and you are likely well aware you are up to your limit. Since you are a member of several wikis, including many of your very own, I suggest you upload as many images as you want there, and keep to your two (and one sig) image limit over here. If you continue to repeatedly go over your image limit, we may have to take action beyond simply ''repeatedly'' informing you. Please mark one of your images for deletion at this time, and ''keep your limit in mind'' in the future. Thank you. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

== Disrespect ==

The thing, we will not allow you to disrespect [[The Brothers Chaps]] father in such a manner. You are not to mention Don Chapman in any context on your user page. If you do, I will personally see that you are blocked from editing. Thanks. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:10, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
:The thing, I am absolutely astounded and appalled that you would post such an insensitive userpage. This kind of behavior is wholly unacceptable and without excuse. If common sense doesn't tell you that something like that is grossly inappropriate, then having it be removed by a sysop should have at least been a clue. You're lucky that we have not chosen to block you immediately, because right now I would literally block you for a month or more. I sincerely hope you will examine the kind of edits you're making and clean up your act. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:36, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
::I wasn't beeing meen. I was making my page in memory of him. Sorry if it was affenceve. I was trying to be nice. I'll delete it. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 21:29, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Making a joke userpage with someone's name is ''not'' a way to remember the deceased. Rather it comes off as mocking them. Note that Tom's restriction still applies to you: DO NOT mention Don Chapman in any context on your userpage, even one you think is respectful. Your recent edit leaves doubts in my mind that you are able to know what a respectful context is. Thank you. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


== I can not believe you! ==

You should be ashamed of yourself! I can't believe you would do something so bad! You deserved to be blocked forever! [[User:70.153.96.80|70.153.96.80]] 20:21, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
:You, 70.153.96.80, deserved to be blocked for vandalizing The thing's user page. Please don't criticize The thing like that. It just wasn't socially acceptable, what he did. Move on. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 20:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

== Welcome Messages ==

When [[User:Smiley|Smiley]] deleted your welcome message he wasn't being mean. It says right in the message to delete it after you've read it.{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 01:21, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
:No, I ment to say "You meen this..." but it didn't work. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 01:23, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

== Sorry ==

Sorry if I deleted something I wasnt supposed to. I still am figuring things out so my apologies if I was being rude -[[User:Smiley|Smiley]]
:Oh!! When I said "You meen" I ment "You meen to put this..." But it didn't show up. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 11:36, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

==Bar==

Hi thing. Did you have a use for [[:Image:Bar.PNG|this]], or do you just want it as a personal image? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:01, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

== Guestbook ==

I just wanted to point out that your "People with wikis of there own sign here..." thing on your page is technically a guest book. I suggest that you remove it, and please do not make it again.--{{User:Benol/sig}} 16:27, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
:I don't have to. It's not a ''real'' guestbook. Othr people have signing things too. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 18:27, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

== Don't do that ==

I know you were just trying to be helpful, but when someone is doing something that requires several steps, please wait (a while) to step in and do one of the steps for them. I nearly deleted AIK 74's user page because I didn't know you had just moved it. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

== Revert ==

Why did you revert my change for Holy Bibble in the [[Website Sightings]] selection? It's a webcomic like the others in that selection. {{unsigned|210.55.100.105|01:21, 14 May 2006}}
:Well, it is suppose to be in [[Comic Sightings]]. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 11:40, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

== Signature for Mother's Day ==

You might as well change your sig, now that it isn't Mother's Day. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
:Oh yea. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 00:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

==2 days or maybe one==
Hey the thing just wanting to remind you that editthis.info will be up in 2-1 days. ''{Celebrating}''--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 23:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
:Is editthis.info slow to you?--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 21:21, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
::Yes, very. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 21:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I wonder why.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 21:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

== HRWiki blog ==

The thing, not only do you not have the authority to create anything in the Homestar Runner Wiki's name, but your "blog" violates [http://www.blogger.com/terms.g Blogger's terms of use], as you are impersonating another person or entity. Please cease and desist by deleting it. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:49, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

==Fanstuff==
Have you moved out of the fanstuff wiki?--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 12:34, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
:Kind of. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 12:41, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
::Thats horrible.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 12:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
:::Well, I'm on there today. I'm on there a lot but I never make an edit. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 12:49, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty familiar with wikis. [[User:AlliterativeAssociate|AlliterativeAssociate]] 16:26, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
:okay. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 16:34, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

I recently realized that you corrected an error on my page when checking through my history page and would like to personally thank you. Yeah, that's it. {{User:Steve/sig}} 01:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
:Well, That's why I'm here. And Your Welcome. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 19:52, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

:Yes, have you seen [http://editthis.info/funny_wiki/ funny wiki] ? --{{User:the thing/sig}} 15:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
::No, not yet, but I did see efilms. Which I was going to redo the main page, but oh well.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 15:54, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

== (Don't) sign here ==

Hey, The Thing! I was all set to revert Homsar7's edit to your page. When I saw that he was in fact contributing to your Email-song section, I thought for a minute, but then reverted it anyway. <br>
There are currently four places on your page where you encourage others to edit it. This has been vaguely or indirectly unapproved of in the past (and I notice you've been asked not to before), but by now it's officially not cool. Please see the user space standards, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:User_space&diff=329811&oldid=326217 recently edited] to make this more explicit. And please remove these sections from your page. Thanks! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 22:30, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
:Hey—''talk'' about it. You know what revert wars accomplish. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 22:49, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

:The Thing, you have reverted a sysop's correction, which he explained in full here in Talk, to your page twice now. Don't you think a better course of action is to explain here, in Talk, why you feel the edit should stand? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
::He has permission! --{{User:the thing/sig}} 22:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
:::No, he doesn't. Read the [[HRWiki:User space|user space]] guidelines. Especially the part where it says: "Please do not encourage anyone to casually edit your page. Casual editing of another's user page is strongly discouraged and in most cases may be reverted." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:54, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
::::What you are asking for on your page essentially amounts to fanstuff. Feel free to take it to the fanstuff wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
# Thanks for fixing <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Juggajiggawugga&diff=next&oldid=332331 that]</span>. I don't know what I was doing!
# Actually, there ''is'' such a thing as [[Wikipedia:Bedbug|bedbugs]]! There's some very disturbing reading right there.
# I put a note on my calendar to check in and see if you'd removed those sections of your user page I talked about above. I know you're planning on leaving, but if that doesn't happen for some reason, "I'm gonna need you to go ahead and" do so. Or, if you're not around to, I'll assume you're cool with me removing them. In particular I'm talking about [[User:The thing#Quesions|Quesions]] and [[User:The thing#E-mail song SIGN!|E-mail song SIGN!]], although [[User:The thing#People with wikis of their own sign here...|People with wikis of their own sign here...]] and [[User:The thing#Funny links|Funny links]] are kinda borderline. Those two could easily be converted by removing the encouragement to edit and remain as lists. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 00:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

# Yea. lol
# That's kind of creepy
# Ok.

--{{User:the thing/sig}} 20:31, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

== Reasons for reverting ==

The thing, when reverting an edit (other than vandalism), please always give a reason for the revert. Do not just write "rv". I am frequently uncertian why you have reverted an edit, and I know I am not the only one to have this problem. Please understand that if you continue not to give reasons for your reverts, I will feel free to revert your reverts when I don't understand them. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:30, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
:ok. --{{User:the thing/sig}} 21:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
::Good. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:18, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

:::Don't worry. I will '''PERSONALLY''' ''volunteer'' [[User:Tom|Tom]] and [[User:It's dot com|Com]] to fill in for you while you're gone. (I'll be housesitting on and off until January, so I won't be around as much either). {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

== so, what do you do all day? ==

no, i'm not saying that you should do anything beside this. if you didn't, think of where we would be. it's just, my family and others make fun of me and this website. they think half of the stuff on this website is useless garbage. does anyone else think we're wasting our time obsessing about a website? well, see ya. you are the coolest person i know. [[User:Seriously|Seriously]] 23:53, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

== Happy New Year! ==

I know it's a little late, I just wanted to wish you a happy new year, and may you continue looking over us and the great wiki of ours! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 10:41, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

== Guest Star ==

You may be an almighty bure- thingy, and I might be an office worker, but I will included you, with many other sysops/bure-thing in my email [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/X-Mail.eXe thingy.] I just need ask you one question: Do you want to be a guest star? If not, I will remove all data relating to you in my show. If so... let the emails go on! [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Count_X Count X]

== How did you become an admin. ==

Did one of the admins or mods make you one? Congrats on becoming an admin of the site!!! 13:16, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

:JoeyDay originally founded HRWiki. It was at this point that the MediaWiki software set his rights to ''developer''. Additionally, the term ''mod'' means nothing. The correct term is ''sysop''. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:20, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

::What Lapper is saying is that, JoeyDay is one of the few people who is beyond sysop-hood - bureaucrat or something {{User:Count X/sig}}

:::Developer, actually. Bureaucrat is one step below that. Thank you for your additional input, Count X. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 01:58, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

::::Although, like all members of the Admin Team, JoeyDay is a developer, bureaucrat, sysop, and user. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

:::TriviaTime hasn't been in the chat channel for nearly two months, and when he returns he'll likely be running on a different system, meaning these instructions may no longer apply. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 21:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

== hm....i smell procrastination... ==
i have realized that you have changed the notice about the vacation on your page twice....are you just unsure of when your vacation is going to end, or are you laying it off? {{User:Seriously/sig}} 00:52, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

:It would be more like Joey Day has a lot of stuff that he needs to take care of in real life. I am sure once he has completed everything he has to take care of he will have more time to devote to the wiki. It is common for many of us to have to set the wiki aside due to our workloads. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

::Stux has it right. I'm not really taking a vacation. I've been doing some part-time consulting work (a custom web design project using Drupal, which is giving me lots of good experience for whenever I get around to setting up the [http://www.homestarrunner.net Homestar Runner Network]) in addition to my regular full-time job. The project was supposed to be done in early January, but extenuating circumstances (and [[Wikipedia:Scope creep|scope creep]]) have extended the project until at least this coming Monday. We've hit and missed about three proposed deadlines now, so I'm not convinced it will really end on Monday, but we'll see. I hope it's over soon. It's wearing me out. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 03:32, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Woah. I didn't think it was that serious. Wait, ''you'' made the homestar runner network? You are the guy in charge of the new website being put together? You work much harder on these things then I ever expected......you deserve cupcakes. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 00:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Perhaps this information might be of use: Joey is also the [[HRWiki:A History|founder and owner]] of this wiki. Pretty impressive huh? I bet you're pretty impressed. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:43, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

== XHTML elements ==

Hey, I noticed you upgraded some <nowiki><br></nowiki> tags to <nowiki><br /></nowiki>, but I recall somewhere in Help where it says we didn't need to worry about it, the system does all that for us. I'll see if I can find the reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
:Not the one I remember, but look [[Help:Editing#Sections, paragraphs, lists and lines|here]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:00, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
::So wha? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:01, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
:::I was trying to think of a good reason why I should keep changing them from <nowiki><br></nowiki> to <nowiki><br /></nowiki>, but I think you're right. The only thing I could come up with is if someday some MediaWiki upgrade stops auto-correcting them, but why would Wikimedia upgrade their software and remove such a feature? I think we're perfectly safe leaving them as <nowiki><br></nowiki>, so I'll stop correcting them when I see them. I'm something of a perfectionist though, so it'll be hard to resist. :) — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 16:17, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
::::I hear ya. But I've gotten sloppier as I get older. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:27, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

== Proprietor status ==

I noticed you put yourself in the "proprietor" group. What did that do, if anything besides making the line with your name the longest in the admin list? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

:Please see [[User talk:It's dot com#User groups|User talk:It's dot com → User groups]]. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 01:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Copying from that discussion:

<blockquote>There is nothing special about the [[Special:Listusers/proprietor|proprietor]] user group. I'm not usually one to be so narcissistic, but I thought it made some sense, and I did it mostly because I could. We've never been able to create custom user groups before MediaWiki 1.5, or I might've created a proprietor group a long time ago. Actually, in a way this is the opposite of narcissistic, as it allows for the possibility of others having proprietorship at some time in the future, and adds a layer of abstraction between myself and the title of proprietor. In the past, we've always linked directly to my user page in places where we mention the proprietor, but we should change all those places to link to the proprietor list. I'll get right on that. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 23:26, 10 March 2006 (UTC)</blockquote>

== Server Upgrade ==

Just curious, but, what was the server upgrade? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 15:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

: Our network admin installed the latest version of [http://www.cpanel.com CPanel], something that helps us change settings on the server. CPanel isn't publicly accessible (only the five admins can access it), but it is important for maintenance and server administration. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:04, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

::Ah, thanks. And, sorry for the late reply, I was gone for the week. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:34, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

== Did you ever receive my email? ==
I sent you an email about a month ago, did you ever recieve it? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

:Just bringing this to the top in case you missed it. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 18:46, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

::Thanks for the reminder IRF. Is this about the Word Doc you sent me, or was there some other email I missed? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:36, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

:::In the last email that I sent you, I asked if you've had a chance to look through the word doc and I also comment about how much I enjoyed reading the translations study as well as the Speaking the Truth in Love study on the .net site.

Hey JoeyDay just to let you know that the admin It's Dot Com is deleting pages and restoring him and he's sort of acting like a vandal so can you deadmin him cause he's doing some bad stuff. Also I was asking if you can make me and my friend Tampo admin's please? Please reply to me as soon as possible. Bye --[[User:Master Chief|Master Chief]] 23:49, 23 March 2006 (UTC)Master Chief 17:50pm

:Thanks for your concern Master Chief, but I haven't seen dot com doing anything vandal-like. Can you provide specific examples of vandalism by It's dot com? As for making you and Tampo admins, we'll certainly keep you in mind. Unfortunately at this time we don't have need for any additional admins. Additionally, we don't usually give people admin privileges simply because they ask for them. When it becomes necessary to appoint new admins, we look for people who have a long history of good edits and positive contributions to the wiki. The best way to be considered for admin privileges is to work hard and organize and carry out projects that gain strong community support. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 23:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I'm Homsarroks. I haven't talked to you at all, but I would like to discuss this new wiki format. I have found it to be pretty confusing for me to work with. All of this new stuff, the tool bars, the red text...I just can't really handle it. Could you please try to revert to the original Wikimedia format please? It's just so confusing.

:::::Okay, Joey, enough's enough. I just saw an IP edit [[User:JelloB|JelloB's user page]]. I don't think people are allowed to edit other people's user pages without permission, so I reverted it. It was unmarked, and no one noticed it because everyone was asking about 'Tavi or some other April Fools joke. Look, that edit went unnoticed for twelve minutes. The joke was funny, but we need to get back on track. Also, the summary said ''I'm just here to change some stuff'', which to me sounds a lot like a vandalism edit, and is nothing like JelloB's actual edit summaries (I checked his contribs). {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 17:27, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay, okay. Go change [[Wikipedia:Homestar Runner Wiki|this page]]. I mean, we are running Wikki Tikki Tavi now, right? So uh, why not? Because we're still running MediaWiki?

Tell us. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 20:31, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:I've already said this a couple times elsewhere, but we simply copied all the pages from the old wiki to the new one, so the "MediaWiki" namespace is still around. Over the next several months we will be working to move everything from the MediaWiki namespace to a new WikkiTikkiTavi mainspace, but we haven't figured out how to do that yet. Dot Com has a plan to reprogram his palm pilot into a bot that will move the pages automatically, bot I don't really think that will work. Then again, Dot Com's pretty crafty. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 20:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey JoeyDay this is Master Chief. I need to tell you some stuff. It's Dot Com blamed me and Tampo for vandal sockpuppets when we didn't do anything. Oh yeah could you de-admin Dot Com and then ban him? He is really annoying me and Tampo.--[[User:Master Chief|Master Chief]] 22:58, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

:Listen closely, Master Chief: you are playing with fire. The evidence I have against you is circumstancial, but I think I could make it stand up in a court. On the other hand, I have Tampo dead to rights. Incidentally, I have been keeping JoeyDay fully apprised of the situation, so you can post here if you want, but it really isn't necessary. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:05, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

::Master Chief, cut the bullcrap. We know you and Tampo are doing the sock puppetry and the vandalism, and we have server logs to prove it. Everything you do is logged by your IP address on our server. We have logs that show you both signing out of your own accounts and creating new accounts to vandalize the wiki. Lying about it isn't helping the situation at all. Crying to me isn't going to help the situation either. You need to 'fess up to all this and quit doing it or we'll ban you indefinitely. It's that simple. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 20:19, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I was just randomly looking around the Wiki and decided that I would stop by and drop you a line. What's going on with the wiki lately? Anything need doing that a non admin can do to help out?

:Made 'em myself. My new [http://www.jday.us/treo Treo 650] can import any MIDI or WAV file as a ringtone. I used a couple free programs by a company called [http://nch.com.au/ NCH Swift Sound]: one called [http://nch.com.au/switch Switch] to convert the MP3 files into WAV files, and another called [http://nch.com.au/wavepad WavePad] to splice and crop the files. I just cropped them down to 30 seconds or so and saved them as mono, 32 KHz, 16-bit files to accomodate my limited storage space on the device. Although, at 16-bit they still take up a whopping MB and a half each (out of a total 23 MB on the device). 8-bit makes them half that, but then they sound horrible. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Anyway, they sound great, and I'll never again mistake someone else's ring for mine. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
