==Seethroo with some questions==
Heya, [[User:Tom|Tom]]. Do you ever check this thing?
What's goin' on with the Wiki? It seems to be going nuts. ~ [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]

:Yes, I do. And yeah, it's under some strain right now. Crazy. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:51, 2 Aug 2004 (MST)

Cool, cool. I'm gonna be able to help move stuff tonight. [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]

:Sweet. I appreciate it. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:41, 3 Aug 2004 (MST)

Hey, is there any particular reason I CANNOT get onto Recent Changes on the oldschool wiki? It's seriously gettin' on my nerves. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 14:03, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)

:I'm guessing it's just the mySQL overload we've been experiencing. Yeah, bummer. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:05, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)

Woah. I added a pantload...but there are still some organizational things that need to be hammered out...I guess check the comments I made in various places...I'm tired... -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 23:11, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)

HOLY CRAP! Who're all those people blocked from this wiki??? I didn't know you were doin' that much blocking already! - [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:34, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Yeah, those are open proxies. You can see the note [[Template:BlockedProxy|here]] and Joey's and my discussion of the topic [[Template talk:BlockedProxy|here]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:47, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

----

I wanted to do that for old times sake. Anyway, I kinda discovered something to make transferring things much easier. If you take the code from 'Tavi pages, put em in Word, and then do a ctrl-f, you can have it replace all the parentheses with brackets. Doing things that way, I can get all my links straightened out before I even put the text in MediaWiki. Just sharing... -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:44, 12 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Yeah, I do the same thing, except I use TextPad. It helps a bunch. Mostly. Just have to be a little careful. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:48, 12 Aug 2004 (MST)

::How're all my edits and transfers? Is there something wrong that I'm doing that I need to be aware of? (did I just say "doing"? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:54, 12 Aug 2004 (MST)

:::You, my friend, are doing a great job. You're really keeping things moving along. Keep up the good work. I'm seriously thinking you are the man right about now. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:24, 12 Aug 2004 (MST)

==Note from Firebird==

Just wanted to say thanks for all the work put into the move. Great Job! -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

:You're welcome. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:08, 20 Sep 2004 (MST)

== Redirects ==

Tom: I'm seeing some deletion of redirect pages on the deletion log. It looks like most of those pages will not be missed, but it does help to have some "common" misspelling articles redirect to the proper article. This is not for sloppy linking , as no pages SHOULD link to a redirect page. This is for people who come to the site, punch in a name into the search box and are taken to the correct page.

There is always some debate over what constitutes a common misspelling. I created a redirect from Whats her face to What's her face. This seems useful to me. Let me know what you think about this. [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 15:42, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)

:I agree. The ones I've been trying to catch are old links that were not fixed correctly during the move. Things like "MainPage 10" that were used instead of "[[Main Page 10]]" becuase of CamelCase on 'Tavi. The person who created that redirect then went ahead and created one for "MainPage 11", even though nothing linked there. I don't see the need for 21 pages to be created like this. Another example is "sbemail1" and its companions. There isn't a need for that.

:Of course, you also have to remember that we turned on case-sensitivity. That means that "[[What's Her Face]]" and "What's her Face" are also two completely different pages. I'd rather that a link show up in red and someone pick up on their mistake right away then have them continue to make links to redirect pages. But I suppose it would be very hard to keep a lid on things like this once we get going. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:55, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)

::Oh, Contraire! I have often wanted to be able to quickly type "sbemailxx" into the search box to find something quickly. I agree that old camel case links should be removed, but I see nothing wrong with shortcut redirects for the lazy. (I was actually thinking of adding these the other day, then stumbled across this thread. Sorry I'm a little late joining the discussion.) :) --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 22:37, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

:::I totally agree JoeyDay. I too have wished to quickly type the sbemailxx when I am watching a new toon instead of hving to search the Strong Bad Emails by Name page.--[[User:38.112.87.6|38.112.87.6]] 12:44, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Oh geez, man, it looks like I disambiguated a page you deleted. Took too long doing it, I guess. I'm really sorry about that. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 19:40, 20 Sep 2004 (MST)

''{In reply to a comment from [[User_talk:Thunderbird_L17]]}''

All that work... I'm really sorry. I was trying to figure out why all my pics looked slightly off. Oh well. I've switched over now. I just wish I hadn't deleted them as I went along... Oh well. I think I'm still doing ok for only being here about a week. Again, my apolagies. And they'll all be PNG from now on. Btw, if you could provide me with a list of the JPG pictures I uploaded, I could replace them in my spare time. Thanks.

-Thunderbird

:Hey, no problem. Here's a [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Thunderbird_L17 good place] to get started. Then there's always the [[Special:Imagelist|Image List]]. I think that might work best. And I can come up with a better list if you need it. And I'm glad you can see the difference. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:03, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

UPDATE:

Topic Complete.

All of my uploaded JPG files are now PNG. Took a bit of doing, but it's done.

== Sebastian Coe ==

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Coe 
''He first ran against Ovett in Prague in 1978 in an 800 meter race that neither won. The next year in Oslo, Norway, '''Coe set his first world records''' (in the 800-meter and '''mile races'''). One of the most famous races between Ovett and Coe was in the 1980 Olympic Games in the 1500-meters. Coe won in Olympic Record time.''

=== Further References ===
From http://www.geocities.com/hotsprings/3257/coe.html 
''He beat Ovett's mile record, running it in 3 min 48.53 sec on August 19; only a week later '''Ovett set another mile record, which was then shattered by Coe''' with a 3 min 47.33 sec run on August 28.''

Here are some of his times in the mile: 
''mile <nowiki>3'48''95</nowiki> 1979 Wr (Oslo)'' 
''mile <nowiki>3'48''53</nowiki> 1981 Wr (Zurich)'' 
''mile <nowiki>3'47''33</nowiki> 1981 Wr (Bruxelles)'' 
Note: Wr stands for World Record.

One final reference: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/World%20record%20progression%20for%20the%20mile%20run 

And a quote from you; 
:''"Hmm. [Coe] didn't really run the mile. And he never had the world record."'' 
Could you please cite your references?? As far as I can tell, he not only ran the mile, he also held the world record on ''three'' seperate occasions.[[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]

::Um, my bad. But you did notice that I changed my edit after that edit you quoted me on, right? And that I was being particularly ambigious in my wording? Anyway, you are right. No hard feelings. Thank you. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:13, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

:So, were you gonna change it back then? [[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]

::Done. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:13, 23 Sep 2004 (MST)
:Thanks [[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]

== Idea ==

How about desktop background downloads for the wiki? Anyone who wanted to create one could, then e-mail one of the admins the image. Then the admin, if approved, could upload it into the wiki images. It's just an idea, but I like the sound of it. I'd love to have an HRwiki background. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

:Hmm. I don't think so. The problem is this, the Wiki is just for information. If you want to make something on your own and then have it somewhere that you could link to from your userpage, that would be better. See, we kind of tread on this uneasy ground with copyrights and the like. Not only that, but there's also the content issue. I know a background that you would make would most likely be good and wholesome for the Wiki and for Homestar Runner, but I wouldn't want to encourage other not-as-good backgrounds to be made. You are always free to make your own backgrounds, keep them to yourself, use them on your computer, and do what ever you want with them.
:As of right now, I'll say this: I don't think you will ever have an official Homestar Runner Wiki background. But I'll ask around and see what I can do. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:43, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

::That's fine with me. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

== Floppy Disks ==

Since you apparently look after the floppy disk section mostly, I figured you would be the best person to ask. How do you feel about a picture of the floppy disk container and it's label beside every listing of it in the inside jokes section? I would be happy to complete that undertaking if you approve. Also, is there anywhere else I could add some pictures? I'm finished the rejects section.

-Thunderbird_L17

:[http://old.hrwiki.org/index.php?page=Floppy+Disk+Container%2FStrongBadEmailDiskLabels Floppy Disk Container/StrongBadEmailDiskLabels]. Check it out. The problem is this: the Wiki is text-based, and information provided through text makes things much easier to search and quicker to load. I'm not really sure that having a screenshot of every different one is needed. Why would it need to be seen by the viewer? Could they simply watch the toon or email instead? One thing that really needs to be done regarding The Container is having the links to the page standardized. Every Fun Facts section on every email and toon that has The Container in it should link to the Floppy Disk Container page in a uniform way. You could get started on that, if you want. And then there's what the disks actually reference. There's a subpage of the Old Wiki page on that needs to be copied over and gone through with a fine-tooth comb.
:Regarding the images, you kind of need to convince me why they are actually needed. Thanks for asking though, this has really gotten me thinking. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:31, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

Well since you already have the list of where the disk case occurs, it should be easy to find the toons to put the link in. I'll get on it later. As far as the floppy images go, I don't think they're NEEDED per-say, but I think it would be kinda cool. It lets people really VISUALIZE the floppys. They would be really small pics too, not full screen. But if you don't want them I won't put them there. As for other pics though, I have been kind of going through the sites putting pictures on everything, if you don't like any of them, feel free to take them off. I just think that any character, object, or place does need a picture to really visualize what the afforementioned thing is. Most of the pages I did only have one or two pics, with the exceptions of The [[King of Town's Castle]] place page, and the [[Tandy_400]] computer page. I kinda may have gone overboard on those ones. Look 'em over and decide. The [[Monkey_D]]'s page also have a few. If you don't like them you can fix them how you see fit. But the widescreen pic in [[Strong_Bad's_Basement]], I'm really proud of that pic. It took me awhile. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 22:24, 22 Sep 2004 (PST)

:Those four pages that you linked to are good. And that basement image is especially good. In some places, it borders on the line of being to much, but I think you played it well. They also could use some small tweaks, but that will all come in good time. As for The Floppies, I think you can make a seperate section on the page for the images and organize them in a table. I actually have all the images, and I can upload them later if you want to use them. (I use them for [http://members.lycos.co.uk/tfpreuss/avatar/avatar.php my avatar] on the forum.) What do you think of that? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:11, 23 Sep 2004 (MST)

Okay, it's up and running..ish. Access it from the regular floppy list. If you have the images, feel free to upload them. Any that you don't have, or don't feel like uploading, I can them. Just upload what you want, and I'll do the rest. Oh, and how do you feel about the naming of images in the Floppy_*name_of_e-mail*.PNG uniformity? You can name then however you want, but I think there should be some form of uniformity in naming the image files. Just tell me if this is okay, and if you're done uploading the images you want. Also, they should all be fullscreen screenshots, right?

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 11:10, 27 Sep 2004 (PST)

Alrightie. Update on the floppy disk container. I've been slowly working away at the Floppy disk container with screenshots page, no help needed there, but as I do so I realized another thing missing from the floppy disk container section, and an actual USEFUL thing, is a breif description and history of the games listed on the floppy disk containers. So that being said, I'm also plugging away at that in my little corner of the floppy disk page. If you would like the commentaries on the main floppy disk page too, which I think would be useful, please let me know so that I can add them to both pages as I go along. No rush though, it'll probably be a few weeks before I'm finished researching them and all. Let me know if you think this would be an improvement to the floppy disk page though. Generally I don't ask permission for editing things, but since you're the senior and keeper of the floppy disk container, I thought it was only fair to ask you. So what are your thoughts?

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 9:45, 6 Oct 2004 (PST)

:I do like the information on what the labels mean, and I wouldn't really call them commentaries. They are all pretty clear cut. Let's see how big they get and then play it from there. Keep them on that screenshot page for now, I don't want to violate [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:44, 7 Oct 2004 (MST)

Hiho. I've run into a roadblock doing the pics. In the e-mail 'lackey', how did you read, let alone get a picture, of the CD case? It's off the screen! Please let me know, or if you have the pic, simply save it as Floppy_lackey.PNG . Please let me know either way whenever. Thanks.

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 10:37, 11 Oct 2004 (PST)

:I used a program called [http://www.flash-decompiler.com/ Flash Decompiler]. It's a free download, so you might want to give it a try. Though I wasn't able to export the actual image, I was able to read the text. But you might have better luck than I did.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:41, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)

Sorry, I don't like treating you like an FAQ, I just have ONE last question. (Probably)...
I have the program, but how do you get the file onto it? It seems like you can only decompile files on your harddrive. Is this so? If it is, how do you get a flash file (SB E-mail Lackey) onto your hard drive? If it isn't, how do you get it from the interent? Last question, probably. I promise. Likely.

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 7:33, 13 Oct 2004 (PST)

:Down the bottom of each toon's or email's page, there's a link for the flash file. Just right click and choose "Save Link As..." or your browser's equivalent.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:57, 14 Oct 2004 (MST)

Thanks, I got it. What do you think of my floppy for Lackey? It's the best I could do... Anyways, I wanted to ask you about the once and only once policy. Though I agree that it's a good policy, I think that the 'see above' thing destroys the look of the summaries, especially once they are all finished. Plus, 'Manhunter New York' appeared in an e-mail at the top, then a toon way at the bottom. So it would be kind of hard to just say 'see above'. Plus since the picture is repeated, why not the explanation? You are the moderater, and whatever you decide I'll abide by, but in this case, since it's only for about 4 floppies, a number that's not likely to be increased, could I just repeat the explanations?

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 6:28, 15 Oct 2004 (PST)

:You know, I do like the idea of having the information on both. Let's try using a tempate instead. Do you think that will work?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:33, 15 Oct 2004 (MST)

Template? I don't know much about website formating or whatnot. Basically everything I do on the Wiki I learn by looking at how somebody else wrote a code, and then copying that pattern. But if you think the template or whatever will work, go ahead. You were right about floating the pictures to the left, making it into tables, all that kind of thing. Just do what you want, and if I disagree I can always revert. But overall I'm happy with what you do. Does this mean that I can put the repeat explanations on the few pictures though, instead of 'see above'?

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 23:49, 15 Oct 2004 (PST)

:Okay, here's what I did. I created [[Template:tongue of the fatman]], [[Template:lode runner]], and [[Template:manhunter new york]]. Check out the page to see if you like it. Now, there's only one place you need to go in order to change the content that will show up for both floppies.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:41, 16 Oct 2004 (MST)

Okay, that works. I don't really plan on editing them much anyways anymore, once the summary is there. But it looks exactly the same, so it's fine. Btw, I fixed the out of place 3.5 inch disk summary, I found a place for it where it fits nicely. Now nothing has two explanations, and the 5.25 inch disks don't have the same summary twice. (See Second 5.25 Inch Disk Summmary)

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 9:09, 16 Oct 2004 (PST)

:Very good. Well done.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:10, 16 Oct 2004 (MST)

Hey, can you do the same to Cave Quest (100th e-mail) that you did to Shogun? I can't get it the right size without it pixelating...

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 18:33, 17 Oct 2004 (PST)

:Heh heh. I already did. You can revert back to my image from [[:Image:Floppy flashback.PNG|here]] if you like.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:42, 17 Oct 2004 (MST)

Hey Tom, I thought JPG format was to be used for videos and pictures, and PNG for all flash material. Plus I think the JPG looked clearer and brighter. If you really don't want it there, then I'll try another way, but I thought I read somewhere that JPG was preferable for pictures, just not for flash. Is the one JPG really that bad? Please clarify. Thanks.

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 06:30, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

:Ah ha. There's a little catch here though. We are talking about a screenshot of a movie or image, and not the actual image itself. Screenshots should always be PNGs. The only kinds of JPGs we should have are photos like [[:Image:TheBrothersChapsBandW.jpg]] or [[:Image:mattchapman.jpg]]. Perhaps an screenshot like [[:Image:puppetdween.png]] better illustrates what I'm trying to say.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 08:35, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

Okay, I getcha. Then I guess I'll just put it back on the old PNG one for now. Thanks. I guess if anything, it adds diversity...

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 19:08, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

Alright, I think it's finally done. I have one more little task though that I can't complete on my own. The three templates, Template:manhunter_new_york , Template:lode_runner , and Template:tongue_of_the_fatman are now unneeded, and as such should be deleted, right? I can't figure out how to. If you know of a way, be my guest. Or should they just be left peacefully, until the end of time? -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 09:40, 1 Nov 2004 (MST)

Sorry, I was just going to get breakfast when I finished my summary, and when I finished it I realized there was a stored version that wasn't there when I started. I didn't have time to merge them so I just uploaded mine, and I was going to merge them when I got the chance, which is now. I did notice the picture though, and already put it up. Sorry about that, I don't want to offend anyone. I'm going to merge them right now. I just figured if I put mine in quickly yours is still stored as a past edit, so that way they're both there if needed. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 12:21, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)

Actually, I never thought about NPOV. While I was doing all this, I used reviews as sources, it's easier to just take the opinions of the writers and condence them. But I think that meathod has given the summaries a multi purpose, to now give you a bit of background about the game for curiosity's sake, but also as a type of mini review, for those who are deciding whether or not to find and play them. It gives the summaries a critical and reviewish type feel. Now to go back and do them all NPOV'D would take some doing, and in my opinion I don't think would be as enjoyable to read. What do you think?
'''Side Note:''' Since they replaced the 5.25's along with the Tandy, do you think they might replace the 2.5's with CD's along with the comp? '''UPDATE EDIT: No they didn't, but on [[Main Page 22]] it reveals [[The Cheat]]'s computer has them.''' I dunno, just a curious little observation.

I figured since I already started a conversation thread here, I'd ask this under the same topic. Do you have a DVD player built into your computer? Basically the reason is that I need the pics of the Floppy Disk Containers from the DVD Main Menus for the Floppy Disk Container page. If it's got Puppet Time Version, it stands to reason that DVD version would be acceptable as well. I do have the DVD set, but no way of getting screens. (Prefferably 150px or larger).

The screens of the Floppy disk Containers on the Main Menus (the CG'd ones) from the DVDS. [[User:The Paper|The Paper]] did get them, but they decidedly leave something to be desired, and we're hoping you can do better. Hopefully Zoomed and what not. Also, the last Floppy Disk container couldn't be identified, it seems as though it's cut off by the camera. Check the [[Floppy Disk Container]], it's got the base of what I'm looking for there. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks alot. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 17:58, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

== First time Here? on Log in ==

Is there anyway to link to the [[Hrwiki:About|about]] page on a log in page? It seems that people don't read that page, and it might help new users who log in? Do you agree? -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

:Hmm, that's a pretty good idea. I'll look into that. But what might even be better is if we had some sort of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Welcoming_committee|welcoming committee]]. Would you want to be in charge or something like that?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:55, 7 Oct 2004 (MST)

::I think it would be great if we had a welcoming committee (and I wouldn't mind being in charge). -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

:::Fantastic, I'm happy to hear it. Just look over what Wikipedia does. We don't need all that stuff, but I'm sure you'll find a way to adapt it for us.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:50, 7 Oct 2004 (MST)

== SB Email categories ==

I moved the [[:Category: Strong Bad Email]] as a sub-category of [[:Category: Strong Bad Filmography]]. All the emails were in both categories when technically all SB Emails are part of his filmography by default. It cleans up the Strong Bad filmography nicely and keeps the all the emails grouped together. There is only one email that SB is not in, but due to this arrangement will still be included in his filmography, but taking the IMDB as a guide, if someone guest hosts the "Late Show with David Letterman" it is called "Late Show Backstage", but it still shows up on Dave’s filmography. - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 09:01, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

:Personally I don't think this really makes sense. An email that Strong Bad is not in should not be in his Filmography, despite what IMDb does. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]]

::I agree. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

:::I also found it a bit confusing. Strong Bad, Homestar, and Marzipan are in all of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]s, but I don't think that should be a sub-category of any one of their filmographies. I think it would not be confusing to have every email be directly in Strong Bad's Filmography, except [[anything]], just how it was. It would also be less confusing for someone just looking at any email and thinking to themselves, "Oh, this one isn't listed in Strong Bad's Filmography", since it does not show up directly on the page as it is now with the subcategory. That's really what it comes down to, that [[:Category: Strong Bad Filmography]] does not show up on the emails. Oh, and the "anything" thing too.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:56, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

:::Funny, the IMDB is a suitable guide to determine the precedent for a voice over. To me the Filmography categories are proving to be more trouble then they are worth and a misapplication of the original intent of the category structure. I understand wanting an automatically generated list for the 12 main characters that show up in everything, but it seems from all the other character pages that the Wiki users are more than capable of manually tracking the appearances of even the most obscure psudo-characters.

The stucture:
<pre>Character->Filmography->Strong Bad Filmography->Strong Bad Email</pre>

:::makes a lot of sence to me. SB is in all but one email, which can be explained by a note. If having 100+ emails cluttering the SB filmography and being unnessicarily duplicated in the email list and in the email category doesnt bother you, then it wont bother me.

:::I guess I should get going on [[:Category: Biscuit Dough Hands Man Filmography]] while I'm at it. - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 12:15, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

::::Your presentation just now does make a bit of sense. I'll have to see what others think. Though on that other issue, as I understood it, the filmography categories were never supposed to be extended beyond the 12 main characters. Somewhere along the line, this was not explained well enough and the whole thing took off. I think there's over fifty filmographies now. I'd be happy to draw a line somewhere.

== Who's In Charge Of The Main Page Anyways? ==

Hiho. I'm not getting much of a response on the [[Talk:Main Page|Main Talk Page]], so I figured I'd go straight to the source, assuming that the source(s) are moderators. Anyways, here's my question. Who's in charge of the Main Page, not so much the look of it, I don't really care about that, but moreso the organization of the links to pages. Now I'm no moderator, but I was curious as to why the links are organized the way they are. Why are Inside Jokes part of Wiki Stuff, Yet Songs part of Knowledge Base? I've been thinking about the layout, and I belive I've figued out a good way of sortage, and am hoping for either a yes or a no. Either one, as long as I can maybe get some kind of explanation as to why they're sorted the way they are, should the answer be a no. Anyhoo, without further ado, I give you my sorting idea...

Basically it consists of the Knowledge Base containing ONLY the things listed on the H*R main page(s), and putting everything left over into Wiki Stuff. It would look something like this, and would have the added bonus of evening the two sections out, leaving External Links on the bottom...

(The Knowledge Base Stuff)

* [[Toons]]
** [[Strong Bad Email]]
** [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]
** [[Teen Girl Squad]]
** [[Powered By The Cheat]]
** [[Puppet Stuff]]
** [[Holiday Toons]]
* [[Games]]
* [[Characters]]
* [[Downloads]]
* [[Store]]
* [[Email]]
* [[Legal]]
* [[Main Pages]]
** [[Weekly Fanstuff]]
** [[Quote of the Week]]
** [[Sketchbook]]
* [[Museum]]
* [[Secret Pages]]

Then this to the right of it: (Perhaps the first part even in an additional section?)

* [[Places]]
* [[Items]]
* [[Songs]]
* Quotes
* [[Glossary]]
* [[Inside Jokes]]
* "Rejects"
(Perhaps another section here?)
* [[Special:Listusers|List of registered wiki users]]
* [[Links]]
* [[Sightings]]
* [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]]
* [[HRWiki:Ledger|Ledger]]
* [[HRWiki:Projects|Projects]]
* [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]
* [[WikiTroll]]
* [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|Welcoming committee]]

Then the external links in another catergory. Is there any problem with this layout? The idea behind it is that the first section are your main ingrediants, and the second one is things that you can make out of them. I just belive that things such as Rejects and Inside Jokes should be in the same catergory as things such as songs and items. Any answer to this would be much appreciated, and then I'll shut up about it. Thanks alot Tom. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 02:33, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I'm not really sure. Your line of thinking makes sense, however I'm thinking it is our system of classification that really seems to be the issue. Inside Jokes? Rejects? What the heck are those really? Things need to be clearly defined and a system needs to be implimentated to classify things.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:57, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

Hmmm... Thats a good point. Okay, well at least keep my organizational idea in mind as you go about implementing the changes. And with that, I withdraw from the Main Page arguments and leave it in the rest of the Wiki's capable hands. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 16:29, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

== STUFF and Fun Facts ==

As you may have read I have an issue with the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page. I am very glad someone has spearheaded an attempt to control the "fun fact" problem, but I still think that the voting and discussion for disputed Fun Facts should be made on the article's talk page and not on the STUFF page.

If a controversial article like [[Wikipedia:History of Israel]] can exist on the Wikipedia by using the Talk page and without resorting to a common page voting system, I think the Homestar Wiki article [[virus]] can too.

Now that we have people's attention with the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page I suggest that we move content discussion back to the Talk pages where they belong.

I have created a preliminary template:disputed

It reads as follows:{{disputed}}

This could be used to let contributors know that there is a dispute, and to direct them to the talk page. The Disputed Fun Facts link should go to a page with the info that [[User:furrykef |furrykef]] wrote on what is and is-not a good fun fact.

People were not using the talk pages effectively in the past, which is a failure of us the users, not of the talk pages.

-[[User:Drhaggis|[[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]]] 16:35, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I completely agree that talk pages are not effectively used by our users. I did read your comment on the talk page and did like some parts of it.

:You mentioned there that the popularity of the "Stuff" page is typical of a sloppy discussion forum and not an article based reference guide. I indeed was amazed at all the users who were very interested in voting. It appears that a quick vote and comment is much easier than proposing fixes and improvements.

:You also presented the idea that this problem inherent mostly because the Homestar Runner Universe is finite. I completely agree. I also believe this is why some users, instead of improving on articles that already exist, create very small articles for very fringe elements of said universe. While I don't think that the Stool article may be one of these, I'm not entirely interested in proposing other examples at this time.

:While this may not be the time or place to discuss your other comment on that talk page about proper classification, I believe it would be important to address that issue with whichever system is accepted for the dealing with fun facts.

:As [[User:furrykef|Kef]] noted in his reply to your comment, the STUFF process was loosely based on Wikipedia's Votes for Deletion process. I do like Wikipedia's VfD process and have participated in it in the past, but as you may notice we don't have a system like this for dealing with the deletion of pages because we are so small. It works for Wikipedia but would simply would not work for us.

:Throughout my travels around Wikipedia, I have seen several pages with notices like the one on the [[Wikipedia:History of Israel]] page. While I don't believe the scale of discussions here will every reach such a level as that, I am willing to investigate the possibility of using such a system.

:If we were to adopt your proposal, I would want some sort of centrally located instruction page. As you mention, this could contain some of Kef's rules from the STUFF page. I'd also want it to list all the pages that are currently going through the process.

:Of course, your proposal is in direct conflict with the current STUFF system, which the users seems to have latched on to. I like your proposal, but I'm interested in hearing how you would implement it given the current circumstances.

:Thank you for being bold enough to propose an alternative.

Yeah, hi. You asked how I made those pictures? Well, I have a screenshot program that only makes Jpegs (which I later save as PNG's), so you can see why the quality would be poor. 'Cause, you know, Jpegs are poor quality. Oh, and I like how you are constanly using [http://www.wikipedia.org WikiPedia] links.

:Your concern is understandable, but the whole "rejects" thing really isn't to Drhaggis and my liking.

:I think the "Rejects" page should be deleted. If we as a community have deemed a character or item "article worthy" we simply create the article and categorize it accordingly.

== Rejected Halloween Costumes Task ==

Hi Tom! Thunderbird here again, with a special task for a few of my fellow users. On the [[Sketchbook]] page, in the [[Sketchbook#In The Museum|Museum]] section of that page, the last picture is a bunch of rejected halloween costume ideas. The caption gives the challenge '10 bucks to anyone who can identify them all'. So what I propose is to identify them all. I've already set up a basic 'top left to bottom right' type list under the 'Description' section, with the two most obvious costumes in it. But can we get the other costumes, and win ourselves $10?

== Rock Opera Context Note ==

Tom,

Hello. I hope your day is well.

I disagree with your moving the work left to do on the rock opera context page to the discussion page, for the simple reason that NOBODY will see it there. If it can't be on the main page, then it should be deleted altogether, as it is serving no purpose.

The point of putting up the note was to aid people in knowing which words were still missing and at the same time encourage those die-hard troupers out there to help complete the page (kind of like a game). You know who I'm talking about: that special someone who is gonna figure out exactly which "I" was used from "lackey".

Therefore, I believe the note should be reinstated at the head of the main page. Besides, it's only temporary... just till we get this thing done.

Kind regards, 
[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:58, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

:I understand and appreciate your concern. However, articles are designed to be read as articles and nothing else. There should never be notes or instructions left for future editors. This is mentioned explicitly in the [[HRWiki:Standards#Don't use conversational style|don't use conversational style]] section of the [[HRWiki:Standards|wiki standards]]. Wiki users, especially the die-hard troupers you mention, know to look at Talk pages. That's what they are for.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:05, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

I see your point. I still don't completely like it, but at least I agree with you now. This particular page is close to my heart because I'm the one who set it up and got the ball rolling on filling in the words (although, I'll admit that ''someone'' would have done it eventually). It also happens to be the very first page I've created for the Wiki. I'm so pleased that the community has deemed the page useful and that they're helping to finish it with such vigor. I watch excitedly as each new entry is filled in. (I would do more research myself, but I've got this stupid ''job'' thing where I have to be if I want money. You probably know how that goes.)

Cheers, 
[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 11:49, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

:No problem. I'll remove the note again. I'd also like to bring to your attention the [[HRWiki:Projects]] page. That might be a better spot for you to put a note.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:10, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

==[[Strong Bad Email By Name]] Tables?==

I've put tables up on the A's and B's section of [[Strong Bad Email By Name]]. What do you think of this? Do you think it's better? Any suggestions as to how the tables should be better? Should I leave it as 'N/A', ''N/A'', 'None', or just leave it blank or something? Any input or blessing would be much appreciated. I'm just gonna leave it there until I get some kinda direction from a higher power (I.E., Mod). Thanks.

I know I probably shouldn't put this on your wiki, but on your website, the link to the NYU video is dead or something. Do you have any advice on how to open it? I was there, but I'd love to see it again! And this way, I won't have to stand outside in the cold for 2 hours holding a yellow sign to get tickets again.

::I suppose as long as there is a link somewhere in the article there isn't any harm. But make sure the fun facts don't afford any additional information before you remove them.

==Redirectetiquette?==

Okay, I changed the links from Sketchbook to [[Museum Sketchbook]], and moved the page there. But I can't seem to move [[Weekly Sketchbook]] to Sketchbook.

:I'll be interested to see Tom's reply, because I'm pretty sure you can't have both an article and a redirect with the same name. But I also have a question for both of you: Shouldn't the museum sketchbook article be called <nowiki>[[Sketchbook (museum)]]</nowiki>, instead of <nowiki>[[Museum Sketchbook]]</nowiki>?

Hi Tom:

First, thanks for hrwiki, it rules and I visit at least weekly. If you browse to [http://jfwiki.org my new wiki] you'll see that I've stolen (respectfully appropriated?) some of your excellent help text and another thing or two. Wikisource comments give you props.

But there's something else I want to learn from you: how do you make fundraising or sysop announcements appear across the whole wiki?

Whoa! Yes, yes I most assuradly do. Only every two or three days though, and my junk folder even less, due to the unholy ammount of spam I am bombarded with. But I just sifted through, and found it. I also added you to safe list, so all future emails from yourself will be replied to much faster. Come to think of it, I'm gonna go and add all sysop addresses to my safe list.

==Sysop Question==

Hey Tom, I have a question about the new Sysop abilities. Just how do I do the Recentchanges Patrol ability? And what exactly would I be viewing? Aren't edits instantanious? So how do I view them ahead of time? Thanks Tom. ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 03:24, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:When you view edits via the RecentChanges page by clicking on the "diff" link, you now have the option to "[Mark as patrolled]". This removes the red exclamation point on the RecentChanges list, alerting other sysops that you've checked out that edit so they don't have to.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:49, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::[[Help:Editing]] contains all the advanced formatting you should need to make a page.

Have you seen [[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]] lately, namely this '[[HRWiki:STUFF'd Project Activities Control League|SPACL]]' thing? Is this sanctioned at all?

[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]], a user who's only been around a few months, and whom I've never even HEARD OF, has seemed to claim ownership of it as well, which really isn't a Wiki thing to do. I mean, not even Joeyday does much without a joint decision.

::It should be a seven or eight digit number or so, seperated by two periods.

:::Quite sadly, there's no such thing as a permanent ban. We can ban a particular IP address indefinitely, but ISPs assign users new IP addreses frequently, especially on dial-up. Banning any IP indefinitely is just as likely to block out legitimate users who inherit the blocked IP sometime down the road as it is to keep the troll from coming back.

:Homsar999: I didn't delete the page. You can check the [[Special:Log/delete|deletion log]] to see that [[User:FireBird|FireBird]] did. [[User:Trogga|Trogga]] marked it for deletion, probably because all it contained was "Balding Man's Living Room is where Balding Man lives. It is first seen in Senorial Day.

== More Fanstuff Sysops ==
Do you think you and the other big admins could get a fanstuff sysop nomination going for the Fanstuff Wiki? There are only two active sysops there as of right now, and they get overwhelmed occassionally. For example, someone made a page that insulted a user and had profanity in the page title alone. Although several users find about it quickly and marked if for deletion, it stayed around for about two weeks before one of the sysops found it. It took even longer for the creator of the page to be banned. So... yeah, many users think more sysops are needed. Thanks for considering this, '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''.

:Okay. Consider it done.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:15, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Deleters==
How do you become someone who deletes useless articles? And what's a "Sysop"?

: You sorta answered your own question - sysops are the people who delete articles, as well as block abusive users. JoeyDay and Tom select the sysops, but the last time they did, all but one of the new sysops were nominated on a special page by regular users. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:06, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm not asking you, Jay. And even though you responded, you didn't answer the question! I was talking to Tom!

:Umm, yes he did answer both of your questions. The first one is answered by ''"JoeyDay and Tom select the sysops"'', and the second question with ''"sysops are the people who delete articles, as well as block abusive users"''. '''Anyone''' can answer a question set on a talk page, even if they were not the intended reciever of that comment. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 22:29, 10 June 2005 (BST)

:: It's a Wiki -- anyone can respond on any talk page. And Jay's answer is correct. To continue the answer, however, the way you get nominated / chosen for a sysop is by making significant, useful edits (like undertaking large formatting projects) and showing good judgement in both your own edits and in dealing with other wiki-users. Reverting from trolls is also a good thing to do. It only happens when the existing admins are looking for new ones, which I'm guessing won't be for quite some time. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 21:33, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[[User:Sanjuro|Sanjuro/Balmung]] 19:10, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hmm i ''guess'' that proves me wrong. I just thought it was odd that your little brother would sign on, create a user page then within a few seconds you correct him online...but then again i'm weird.

What do you mean Tony Stony?

Its none of my business is what I mean...I just thought it weird. Btw it is possible to sign your posts with 4 tildes. Comme ca: [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 19:25, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== STUFF stuff ==
Afternoon, Tom. I've been busy all morning closing out old STUFF discussions. I have a little ways to go, though. Also, I wonder if we could speak more about how the page should be redesigned before anything major is done to it. Put a note on my [[User_talk:It's dot com|talk page]] and I'll meet you in the IRC. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:35, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm back, as promised. Are you around? I'm monitoring the IRC. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:32, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Hey Tom. I am making good progress:
:*[[HRWiki:stuff test1|A mock-up article]]
:*[[Template:STUFF/stuff test1|The resulting STUFF subpage]]
:*[[HRWiki:Select_The_Usable_Fun_Facts/stuff_test3|The index (which will become the STUFF main page)]]
:*Plus all the templates so far

:Yet to do:
:*Organize/polish the instructions
:*Create the templates for closed facts
:*Have other users test the ease of use
:*Convert current items to new format

:The hardest part isn't figuring out how this will work. The hardest part isn't even figuring out how to streamline the process to minimize keystrokes and errors. No, the hardest part is figuring out how to explain it so that novices can understand.

== Admin Nomination ==

I'm sure we're not looking for any new sysops after this thing in April, but I think [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] would be a great sysop. He seems to be working harder around here than any of us sysops anyways, and he always seems to have good judgement. I'd love to have him on the team. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 22:47, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I can't remember the specific instance, but in the last day or so I've thought to myself, "Isn't BazookaJoe an admin?", so whatever was going on at the time must have been good. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:17, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I always forget that he ''isn't'' an admin, because he uses the same "reverted from (whoever) to last version from (whoever)" message. I guess he types it in manually... {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 00:29, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::True, but he has only been around for a little over two months. There are some users that have been around significantly longer that I think are also deserving of sysopness.

== Question ==

On the picture of you are you the one on the left or right I'm guessing you're on the right because the left one looks not happy, but it doesn't look like matt because of the hair.

Thanks for answering my question guys, and uh that link to bad pictures looks like Matt is wearing that same shirt as the picture on this page.

:Yeah, they were taken less than five minutes apart at the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|NYU Talk on Mar 1, 2005]]. In fact, you can actually see a bit of my head in the background of DaChazman's photo.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:57, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Forum namespace ==

How come there's not a convenient external namespace for the forum? You know, so that <nowiki>[http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?t=XXXX] could be replaced with [[Forum:XXXX]]</nowiki>, or something similar. How's our bandwidth lookin'? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:04, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:That's not a bad idea, I'll look into that. Though you should probably remind me after next Monday. Our bandwidth is still looking, but I think we are down to the final hours here.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:04, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== On the wiki ==

I'm working on the transcripts as fast as I can... what, do you think I eat, sleep, and breathe Homestar Runner... don't answer that. ;) Seriously, we're working on them. But having Mike mention that he read something on our wiki has got to be the ultimate prize for us. It's like, poring over all the crazy details that we do has, in a small but significant way, paid off. I think we should permit ourselves in this case to announce it in big, bold letters. Or at least in italics. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:12, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Goofs vs. Typos ==

"Goofs" are mistakes TBC make; for the purposes of our discussion, ''Strong Sad'' made these mistakes. We don't note mistakes Strong Bad makes in his emails as Goofs; rather, we note them in the Remarks. Since there were enough of Strong Sad's mistakes for a whole section, I changed it to "Typos". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:07, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I'm not really the guy who would know the difference. I only made that change for two reasons:
:#"Typos" isn't one of the ways we categorize Fun Facts. [[HRWiki:Standards#Fun Facts|Goofs is]].
:#The Francis Scott Key fact is a Goof. I knew it wasn't a typo, so I changed the header to Goofs for lack of a better choice for that particular grouping.
:That being said, the Key fact is probably the only one of the four that are currently under that header that really is a Goof. The typos by Strong Sad should probably be moved to another section. Maybe Remarks?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:35, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Goofs may be our standard category, but we are flexible enough to accomodate a special category on a toon-by-toon basis. For example, [[50_emails#Homestar.27s_attempts_at_DELETED|Homestar's attempts at Deleted]]. I think these should be grouped together since there are several of them.

== You are appreciated ==

I was looking over your talk page, and it's been way too long since someone wrote to tell you thanks for all the work and maintenance you put into the site. Thank you! I was propted to tell you this today when I saw that, simply by my uploading an image, you created a new template to replace the makeshift GFDL blurb I had on the image; created a new category for other existing, similar images; and then sought out those five other images that should be in the category and added the template there as well—all within the blink of an eye! I would hope that we all make the wiki experience a little better for those around us, and I must say you certainly do that. And then some. Sincerely, [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

==Into 2 me==
Hey there everypeoples. Mine name Bubsty. You might know me better as Shmebb, Shmebber8, Bubsters108, madmanwithaknife, justatest7, yeah, thats me right there.
I'm a complete fan of homestarrunner. As I type this, I'm wearing my Strong Bad T-Shirt and listening to "Everybody to the Limit." I've memorized every single toon there is, except maybe some of the old sbemails. thats still pretty good, right?

Ur probably wondering. <big>Why do I have a weird username?</big> Well, Bubs is a pretty cool character, but thats not the main reason. My sister used to always call me Bub. Since then, every usermane/email-adress ive ever made has the word "Bub" in it. I dont really know about the "sty" part though. its just random.
==Thank you google!==
: I found out about this wiki when I was google-ing all the main characters of homestar at school. That was around April or March 2005. So I haven't been here for very long.
: I don't tend to do a lot of changes. I spend about an hour each day going to homestar, clicking "random toon," finding out what it is but not watching it, going to wiki, looking up that toon for any easter eggs, then watch the toon, go back to the wiki page, look at the fun facts, and do the cycle all over again. today I've probably spent about 3 or 4 hours on wiki. Thats how much of a fan I've become. I hope to be a sysop some time, but I know that before I ever can I need to start making more changes and learn to edit better. Im still having problems with pictures and things like that. I at least hope that some day I'll be able to win the "Favorite user of the week award." but I know that I'm still a looooong ways away from winning that award at this rate.
:Some of the things I do do are:
*Patrol the "recent changes" page.
*(Try to) Catch trolls. (I've only caught 2. Don't laugh).
*State my opinion in the "stuff" page
*See how the [[Jack Hamma]] page is comin along
*Do gnome work
*Constantely upgrade this page
:I joined the welcoming commitee in July sometime, then quit, and very recently, joined again. My goal is to welcome 5 new members before I get lazy and quit again. :-)
:I've also made a Homestarrunner quiz that you can check it out [[User:Bubsty/hrquiz|here]]. If you get 8 out of 8, and you never guessed or cheated, then... You're the biggest homestarrunner fan ever. (Cheating means going to a different page while you're doing the quiz. You can't go to [[i love you]] when you're on question 8. I consider that cheating.)

=='''''My''''' actual life==
:I was savin the worst for last. Feel free to leave this page now.

:So... I've decided to remain annonomyus (how do u spell that?) since mom would freak if she found out i left my real name on a website. u can just call me bubsty. or bub.
:Anyway, I live in Seattle, Washington. I'm 11 yrs old, turnin 12 in june, 2006. I found out about homestarrunner in computer class, when one of my friends was watchin it. When I got home, I checked out the site. I looked at [[Shopping For Danger]], since that was the newest big toon then. I didn't really get it though. Then I just checked out the [[Characters]] page. Ironiclly, it wasn't 'till I new a lot about Homestar that I found out about the [[First Time Here?]] page. Im the youngest in my family (sadly). I have a dad, age 53, and a mom, age 50. I also have a sister, age 16. Sadly, no pets. My grouchy ol' dad is "allergic" to dogs, cats, rabbits, hampsters, etc.
:I use a computer just like [[Tangerine Dreams|The Cheat's]], an imac G3. It actully works pretty well. (I really don't know why I said this. I guess it's just a cool fact.)
:My other intrests include: Traveling, Skiing, Reading, Writing (I'm gonna start lookin for a publisher), cartooning, and polotics. (I'm a very strong democrat.)
:I really ''really'' like writing. I'm not that good, but I try very hard. I've written about 4 short storys. Each of them have been about... I'd say 45 pages long. feel free to ask me if you want to read one. I also like reading. My school has a little list of books that they want kids to read. If you read one, a little slip of paper with your name on it goes into the "coffee can of probibility." Each week the librarian draws a name out, and if you're chosen, you get a prize. Anyway, my goal for the year is to read every book on that list. I might make it, but I doubt it.
:I also like polotics a lot. I'm a very strong democrat, and I don't like Bush a whole ton. (Notice I didn't say hate. There are some good things about him, but he's mostly an idiot.) Since I live in the U.S.A, there's a lot of political strifes going on for me to look into. I'm in the honors program at my school, and was in the Spectrum program at my old elementary school. I like to work on [[User:The Pizza Guy|The Pizza Guy]]'s and my [http://boxochox.blogspot.com blog].
:I've known homestarrunner since November 2004, and its definately not gettin old for me. my sister also goes 2 homestar, but she isnt as big of a fan as i am. she hasnt even seen all the strong bad emails!
:Hm........ ain't much else. Jus' wanna say, I credit myself for the first person to ever have my done removed. (The Limozeen cartoon was '''not''' the best thing I had ever seen, done, or eaten. It tasted like sweaty socks.) It hurt a lot, and now I have weird pains in my chest, but when Strong Bad asks you to do something, you should do it.

==Into 2 me==
Hey there everypeoples. Mine name Bubsty. You might know me better as Shmebb, Shmebber8, Bubsters108, madmanwithaknife, justatest7, yeah, thats me right there.
I'm a complete fan of homestarrunner. As I type this, I'm wearing my Strong Bad T-Shirt and listening to "Everybody to the Limit." I've memorized every single toon there is, except maybe some of the old sbemails. thats still pretty good, right?

Ur probably wondering. <big>Why do I have a weird username?</big> Well, Bubs is a pretty cool character, but thats not the main reason. My sister used to always call me Bub. Since then, every usermane/email-adress ive ever made has the word "Bub" in it. I dont really know about the "sty" part though. its just random.
==Thank you google!==
: I found out about this wiki when I was google-ing all the main characters of homestar at school. That was around April or March 2005. So I haven't been here for very long.
: I don't tend to do a lot of changes. I spend about an hour each day going to homestar, clicking "random toon," finding out what it is but not watching it, going to wiki, looking up that toon for any easter eggs, then watch the toon, go back to the wiki page, look at the fun facts, and do the cycle all over again. today I've probably spent about 3 or 4 hours on wiki. Thats how much of a fan I've become. I hope to be a sysop some time, but I know that before I ever can I need to start making more changes and learn to edit better. Im still having problems with pictures and things like that. I at least hope that some day I'll be able to win the "Favorite user of the week award." but I know that I'm still a looooong ways away from winning that award at this rate.
:Some of the things I do do are:
*Patrol the "recent changes" page.
*(Try to) Catch trolls. (I've only caught 2. Don't laugh).
*State my opinion in the "stuff" page
*See how the [[Jack Hamma]] page is comin along
*Do gnome work
*Constantely upgrade this page
:I joined the welcoming commitee in July sometime, then quit, and very recently, joined again. My goal is to welcome 5 new members before I get lazy and quit again. :-)
:I've also made a Homestarrunner quiz that you can check it out [[User:Bubsty/hrquiz|here]]. If you get 8 out of 8, and you never guessed or cheated, then... You're the biggest homestarrunner fan ever. (Cheating means going to a different page while you're doing the quiz. You can't go to [[i love you]] when you're on question 8. I consider that cheating.)

==Can't see template==
I'm trying to figure out what your [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:The_Stick&curid=7302&diff=0&oldid=146913 recent edit] to The Stick did. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

Maybe it was just my computer, but I couldn't see some of the template, the box was covering it. But now that I look at the history, it's fine. Maybe it was at the moment that that I looked at it, or my window way a ceratain way. Funny.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 00:25, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Washed out==
The image you just uploaded (and some others) look washed out, especially where you can see The Paper. What's the deal with that? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] P.S. I see that the dumb Cardinals won the division again. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:36, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I am not sure. Currently I have a Macintosh Computer running on version 10.2.8. To make images, I do the following:
# I go to the .swf version of what ever toon it is.
# I make a .pdf of it
# I put the .pdf into Apple Works version 6.2.4 and convert it into a .png
# I make the image so it is under the 100k standards and upload it.
Sometimes, the image doesn't fit the window, so I'll make it smaller and so it is within the standards. Sometimes in the process of making it fit in the window, it washes it out. When I started making images, (example: most of the ss getting hurt pics) I would use power point and convert it into a .png. When I knew about the standards I used Apple works. When I try and make the image the same size as the .pdf, the file size is huge. Like, 500k! I'm confused. Can you help? P.S. Yeah, what did the rangers do? ;) --{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 01:55, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Wow, that's a lot of steps. When I press Command+Shift+4, my cursor turns into a crosshairs. By clicking and dragging across a retangular area, I can capture part of the screen (you can also capture the whole screen by pressing Command+Shift+3). The resulting file is saved on the desktop. The file should already be in PNG format. I captured an image about the size of a H*R screen, and the file size was only 44 KB. Let me know whether this helps. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:03, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I do the cmd+shift+4 and it comes up as a pdf. I just made a pdf of the index screen it's self and it is 68kb. Then, I converted it into a png and it is 104kb! On one of my friends little newer macs I tryed the cmd+shift+4 and it came up as a png. I am still not sure why all this happens. Is it because of my operating system? I don't know. P.S. I already knew about the cmd+shift+4, but i'm surprised about the file results.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 03:13, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I have searched my help files with no luck as to why it's saving it as a PDF. Obviously, you have some setting set weird, but I don't know where to tell you to look. As a workaround, you might try using Grab (Applications→Utilities). That should save it as a TIFF. You might also try Picture Viewer to convert it to a PNG. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:31, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

To compare the grab with the pdf. I made a pdf and tiff of about the same thing from the fluffy puff mashmallows commercial. The pdf is 52 kb. The tiff is 104kb. I made pngs from both of them. The one I made with the pdf with out reszing it is 92kb. The one with the tiff is 76kb. That's kinda wierd.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 22:20, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hey, those gif are '''''VERY''''' cool!!!--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 03:10, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Antmated Gifs help==
http://angelfire.gifworks.com/

It is very easy to make the text. Even if you make a mistake, you can just edit the url adress to make changes. To rermove those annoying 's, just take away the %27 around the text in the url.

For example, if I make mine to say bannana it will make the text as 'banana'. So just go to the url and take out the bold

'''%27'''banana'''%27'''

so 'banana' will now be banana

You need to save it to your computer and upload it to www.imageshack.us

I don't know if you saw my comment in the recent changes, but good eyes, bkmlb... the green is only 1/128 different. I had to zoom WAY in and open it in an image editor to be sure of this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:57, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Thank you! Before the toon ends it's '''''A LOT''''' easier to see it. But after they make the screen grayer and put the ''end'' and ''back'' buttons it's a lot harder and I ''do'' need to zoom in. But before the screen becomes gray, I didn't have to zoom in at all. With the [[HR:dumpingtontoon.swf|swf]] version, I made the sceen as big and as small as possible. I still could see it, but on the smaller window, I could only see the part by the white line clearly enough to. That's probably because I knew it was there, but, oh well!--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 18:13, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Any Idea how I could use custom not, "costume" templates? Would I just replace the "Intropagebox" with "the picture direct url"?

What do i replace or add to make those templates work? This darn wiki code is confusing

==Tough loss==
Tough loss for your guys last night, what with the grand slam and all. And against the team you hate the most. ;) (But that guy was ''totally'' out trying to steal second in the bottom of the ninth, so it shouldn't have even gone into extra innings.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:04, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me cope with the loss. Game time temp: 97. I was at the game last night, and in the upper deck! I was almost sure Hector Luna (that guy) was out! It kept us alive though and then David Eckstein hit a double and drove him in! Dang Nefi Perez! Guess what I said when nefi came up with two outs? "Oh! I'm shaking! It's Nefi Perez!" Guess I should have been! Then when I was leaving there was a HUGE amont of drunk cubs fans running around with there drunkness. Cubs fans are bad enough, but drunk cubs fans? I can't stand them!--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

:Good thing you weren't in center field during BP. Temperature reading: 119°! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

And on saturday, I was there too, the field temp was 120°! — Good thing I was in the shade the whole time! Lots of water and wet towels on your neck --[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

:And I thought it was hot at Ameriquest Field in Arlington! I've pretty much decided night games are the way to go whenever possible (although yesterday's Cubs–Cards game was a night game, so whattayagonnado?). What were they ''thinking'' starting Saturday's game at 2:15?! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:48, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I think the reason saturday's game was at 2:15 was because fox wanted it to broadcast so america could see it. Who cares about the players and fans ''going'' to the games. But it wasn't their fault that it was 90° plus.--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

==New Stadium==

Oh, and are you excited about your new stadium? What is it now, like 17 days until? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:As of July 24th, there are 28 games left at busch stadium. The last regular season game will be played on October 2nd, a 1:15pm game. Yeah I am excited. On the new stadium they now have seats in the upper deck, the ''B'' on the sign that will eventually be ''Busch Stadium'', and alot of the walls around it. Three weeks after the season (or playoffs) ends they will implode the current busch. ''Then,'' they'll build the rest of left field going into where the current busch is now. You can go to the cards page on the new stadium [[http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/stl/ballpark/index.jsp | here]] --[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

HEY! DON'T YOU BE TALKEN ABOOT THOSE SOX, THARE MORE AWXEM THEN THE CARDS{mocking voice}!!!!!
[[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 22:31, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Wait, ..... what?--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]] 22:48, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Allow me to explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Thechamp is from New Hampshire, a state that, although I can't remember anything notable about it specifically, feels a closeness with the rest of New England. So, naturally, they all feel like the Red Sox' victory over your Cardinals was ''their'' victory. Hence, according to some, "thare more awxem." Um, yeah, okay. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:03, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Thank you Dot com. The champ, that was pointless. Okay, your sox record as of now is 64-47. The Cards are 71-41. Yes, the red sox did whip us in the the world seires, winning their first world seires since 1918. But in June of '05 the cards took two of three from the red sox. How's Renteria workin' out for ya? Eckstien has been a good replacement. The red sox will probably make to the playoffs but they will ''''NOT'''' win the world seires--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]] 13:44 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Here's hoping the Sox don't make it back to the Series - or the playoffs. I wish your Cards luck (you might want to wish the same to my Yankees...nine games to go, and it's white-knuckle all the way!) — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 13:06, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. And yes, I'm rooting against the sox. With Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina coming around, I think the yankees have an great chance of making the playoffs. How about them Indians too. They're on a roll.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 14:59, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I can't tell you how embarrassing it is to have a 200-gajillion dollar payroll and have your playoff hopes hanging by a thread. I'm pretty resigned to the Yanks making a quick exit from the postseason anyway - the Tribe looks really scary with that core of young, hungry players. What chance do you give the Cards in the postseason? {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 15:30, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I think the Astros will win the wild card, so in the first round we'll play the Padres. That'll be a piece a cake. Then that leaves the Braves vs the Astros. I think the 'Stros will win, because of their pitching. So it will probably be another seven game seires with the Cards coming out on top, but this year we have better pitching than last year, so it might be five or six. I think on the american league side it'll be the Indians or, sorry to say now, the Red Sox. That's only because of Manny Rameirez and David Ortiz. If we play the Red Sox, we'll win the world seires and if we play the Indians, it'll be a close one. Overall, hopefully, the Cards will win the seires either way. Pitching is so important. Both the Cards and Indians have good pitching, but the Sox really don't. Oh! And about the White Sox! I think they'll go out in the first round, at least from the way they've been playing now.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 16:49, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Those recent GIFs ==

Hey B.K., I removed those GIFs you recently added. First of all, they wouldn't show up without a MSN account. To nearly everybody they appear as broken links. Second, anytime you try to link to a file on <code><nowiki>www.msnusers.com</nowiki></code>, some computers (all the ones I tested) actually try to log you in for every image you have (in this case, three times).

How do I delete the image I just uploaded?--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]] 22:56, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Go to the image and click edit at the top of the screen. Then put a "to be deleted" tag on it just like an article. But I've already taken care of this one. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:59, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:According to [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Embedding_external_images this], external images can be actual size only.

== Date & Time on sig ==

If it just my computer, then never mind. But, why is it when I put my sig in it does this thing--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 21:19, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I think it's because your sig is inserting a return at the end of itself. When the timestamp adds itself on, it starts on a new line with a space, which tells the Wiki you want something in a <nowiki><pre></nowiki> tag.
--{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 23:25, 15 August 2005 (BST)
An example of which is my sig above. I'll try and fix the offending return in yours...

:You had a missing <code><nowiki></nowiki></code> tag. I inserted one, and that seems to have done the trick. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:33, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::See also the beginning of [[User_talk:Thunderbird_L17/The_Vault#Towards_a_more_standards-compliant_signature|this discussion]] for info on using the <code><nowiki></nowiki></code> tag instead of the <code><nowiki></nowiki></code> tag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

== Good eyes ==

I don't know if you saw my comment in the recent changes, but good eyes, bkmlb... the green is only 1/128 different. I had to zoom WAY in and open it in an image editor to be sure of this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:57, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Thank you! Before the toon ends it's '''''A LOT''''' easier to see it. But after they make the screen grayer and put the ''end'' and ''back'' buttons it's a lot harder and I ''do'' need to zoom in. But before the screen becomes gray, I didn't have to zoom in at all. With the [[HR:dumpingtontoon.swf|swf]] version, I made the sceen as big and as small as possible. I still could see it, but on the smaller window, I could only see the part by the white line clearly enough to. That's probably because I knew it was there, but, oh well!--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 18:13, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Tough loss==
Tough loss for your guys last night, what with the grand slam and all. And against the team you hate the most. ;) (But that guy was ''totally'' out trying to steal second in the bottom of the ninth, so it shouldn't have even gone into extra innings.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:04, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me cope with the loss. Game time temp: 97. I was at the game last night, and in the upper deck! I was almost sure Hector Luna (that guy) was out! It kept us alive though and then David Eckstein hit a double and drove him in! Dang Nefi Perez! Guess what I said when nefi came up with two outs? "Oh! I'm shaking! It's Nefi Perez!" Guess I should have been! Then when I was leaving there was a HUGE amont of drunk cubs fans running around with there drunkness. Cubs fans are bad enough, but drunk cubs fans? I can't stand them!--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

:Good thing you weren't in center field during BP. Temperature reading: 119°! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:And I thought it was hot at Ameriquest Field in Arlington! I've pretty much decided night games are the way to go whenever possible (although yesterday's Cubs–Cards game was a night game, so whattayagonnado?). What were they ''thinking'' starting Saturday's game at 2:15?! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:48, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I think the reason saturday's game was at 2:15 was because fox wanted it to broadcast so america could see it. Who cares about the players and fans ''going'' to the games. But it wasn't their fault that it was 90° plus.--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]]

==New Stadium==

Oh, and are you excited about your new stadium? What is it now, like 17 days until? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:As of July 24th, there are 28 games left at busch stadium. The last regular season game will be played on October 2nd, a 1:15pm game. Yeah I am excited. On the new stadium they now have seats in the upper deck, the ''B'' on the sign that will eventually be ''Busch Stadium'', and alot of the walls around it. Three weeks after the season (or playoffs) ends they will implode the current busch. ''Then,'' they'll build the rest of left field going into where the current busch is now.

[[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 22:31, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Wait, ..... what?--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]] 22:48, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Allow me to explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Thechamp is from New Hampshire, a state that, although I can't remember anything notable about it specifically, feels a closeness with the rest of New England. So, naturally, they all feel like the Red Sox' victory over your Cardinals was ''their'' victory. Hence, according to some, "thare more awxem." Um, yeah, okay. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:03, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Thank you Dot com. The champ, that was pointless. Okay, your sox record as of now is 64-47. The Cards are 71-41. Yes, the red sox did whip us in the the world seires, winning their first world seires since 1918. But in June of '05 the cards took two of three from the red sox. How's Renteria workin' out for ya? Eckstien has been a good replacement. The red sox will probably make to the playoffs but they will ''''NOT'''' win the world seires--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]] 13:44 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Here's hoping the Sox don't make it back to the Series - or the playoffs. I wish your Cards luck (you might want to wish the same to my Yankees...nine games to go, and it's white-knuckle all the way!) — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 13:06, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. And yes, I'm rooting against the sox. With Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina coming around, I think the yankees have an great chance of making the playoffs. How about them Indians too. They're on a roll.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 14:59, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I can't tell you how embarrassing it is to have a 200-gajillion dollar payroll and have your playoff hopes hanging by a thread. I'm pretty resigned to the Yanks making a quick exit from the postseason anyway - the Tribe looks really scary with that core of young, hungry players. What chance do you give the Cards in the postseason? {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 15:30, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I think the Astros will win the wild card, so in the first round we'll play the Padres. That'll be a piece a cake. Then that leaves the Braves vs the Astros. I think the 'Stros will win, because of their pitching. So it will probably be another seven game seires with the Cards coming out on top, but this year we have better pitching than last year, so it might be five or six. I think on the american league side it'll be the Indians or, sorry to say now, the Red Sox. That's only because of Manny Rameirez and David Ortiz. If we play the Red Sox, we'll win the world seires and if we play the Indians, it'll be a close one. Overall, hopefully, the Cards will win the seires either way. Pitching is so important. Both the Cards and Indians have good pitching, but the Sox really don't. Oh! And about the White Sox! I think they'll go out in the first round, at least from the way they've been playing now.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 16:49, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

If it just my computer, then never mind. But, why is it when I put my sig in it does this thing--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 21:19, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I think it's because your sig is inserting a return at the end of itself. When the timestamp adds itself on, it starts on a new line with a space, which tells the Wiki you want something in a <nowiki><pre></nowiki> tag.

Maybe it was just my computer, but I couldn't see some of the template, the box was covering it. But now that I look at the history, it's fine. Maybe it was at the moment that that I looked at it, or my window way a ceratain way. Funny.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 00:25, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Washed out==
The image you just uploaded (and some others) look washed out, especially where you can see The Paper. What's the deal with that? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] P.S. I see that the dumb Cardinals won the division again. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:36, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I am not sure. Currently I have a Macintosh Computer running on version 10.2.8. To make images, I do the following:
# I go to the .swf version of what ever toon it is.
# I make a .pdf of it
# I put the .pdf into Apple Works version 6.2.4 and convert it into a .png
# I make the image so it is under the 100k standards and upload it.
Sometimes, the image doesn't fit the window, so I'll make it smaller and so it is within the standards. Sometimes in the process of making it fit in the window, it washes it out. When I started making images, (example: most of the ss getting hurt pics) I would use power point and convert it into a .png. When I knew about the standards I used Apple works. When I try and make the image the same size as the .pdf, the file size is huge. Like, 500k! I'm confused. Can you help? P.S. Yeah, what did the rangers do? ;) --{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 01:55, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Wow, that's a lot of steps. When I press Command+Shift+4, my cursor turns into a crosshairs. By clicking and dragging across a retangular area, I can capture part of the screen (you can also capture the whole screen by pressing Command+Shift+3). The resulting file is saved on the desktop. The file should already be in PNG format. I captured an image about the size of a H*R screen, and the file size was only 44 KB. Let me know whether this helps. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:03, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I do the cmd+shift+4 and it comes up as a pdf. I just made a pdf of the index screen it's self and it is 68kb. Then, I converted it into a png and it is 104kb! On one of my friends little newer macs I tryed the cmd+shift+4 and it came up as a png. I am still not sure why all this happens. Is it because of my operating system? I don't know. P.S. I already knew about the cmd+shift+4, but i'm surprised about the file results.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 03:13, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I have searched my help files with no luck as to why it's saving it as a PDF. Obviously, you have some setting set weird, but I don't know where to tell you to look. As a workaround, you might try using Grab (Applications→Utilities). That should save it as a TIFF. You might also try Picture Viewer to convert it to a PNG. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:31, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

To compare the grab with the pdf. I made a pdf and tiff of about the same thing from the fluffy puff mashmallows commercial. The pdf is 52 kb. The tiff is 104kb. I made pngs from both of them.

good job on finding my secret page. It's not very hard. Yeah, I'll pay you when I'm a really famous writer and have like, 2 billion bucks. Nice job on the quiz.

==Text Colors. (Thanks but I just needed the wiki code)==
I am fully aware of the #(color) but I wasn't sure how to use it to change the color of the text. I went back and figured out how to do it on my own. I realized that I didn't just need <color: #99FF00> but I also needed the, size: 100%. Thanks anyways. =D

But, how do I make a sig that I can use on the wiki. I know how to make it, but I dont know how to put it on the wiki. Do I have to post the sig manually, or is it like the <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>?

[[User:Arrow'd|Arrow'd]] 02:43, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Well, first, you make [[User:Arrow'd/sig]]. Then, make your preferences look exactly like this:

Hey, those gif are '''''VERY''''' cool!!!--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 03:10, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Antmated Gifs help==
http://angelfire.gifworks.com/

It is very easy to make the text. Even if you make a mistake, you can just edit the url adress to make changes. To rermove those annoying 's, just take away the %27 around the text in the url.

For example, if I make mine to say bannana it will make the text as 'banana'. So just go to the url and take out the bold

'''%27'''banana'''%27'''

so 'banana' will now be banana

You need to save it to your computer and upload it to www.imageshack.us

Oh! Thanks arrow'd!!--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 00:49, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I '''''Love''''' baseball http://www.eteamz.com/WGBSL/images/BaseBallrotate.gif But I extremely love the St. Louis Cardinals http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/mlb/images/team_logos/50x50/stl.gif. I always have my Cardinals cap on and usually a baseball shirt. I hate the Cubs. Big Cubs fans get on my nerves, but drunk ones I can't stand. I would strongly recommend the Cardinals website, at: http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp?c_id=stl

I was introduced to homestar runner by a friend around sb email [[kind of cool]] in mid december 2003. The first thing I saw on h*r was [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]].

I found this wiki when I searched [[Limozeen]] on [http://www.google.com/ Google] . I joined on March 29, 2004 on the ye olde wiki.

HRWiki talk:Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.5

2005-10-09T16:50:10Z

Bkmlb.: /* Can't log in */

==Nifty stuff==
The "Edit diff." feature sounds fortuitous. I'm not sure I understood the permalink business, though. —[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 06:37, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:For instance, the current revision of the [[HRFWiki:Main Page|fanstuff Main Page]] is [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=119031 rev 119031]. With 1.4 and earlier, it is not possible to have a link that would always display what was on the page at the time that you viewed it, as the current link in 1.4 just has an [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki_talk:Upgrade_to_MediaWiki_1.5&oldid=0 oldid of 0]. That link will always take you to the current version, which may have been updated since the time you linked to the article. This is important when someone would want to cite an article for research and so forth.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:03, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::I'm looking forward to the 'Print' tab I've heard about. I'm always up for a new tab. And the move log sounds kinda nifty. I am gonna miss that maintenance page though, *sniff*. I fondly remember searching for double redirects. Is the upgrade probably gonna be finished by Monday morning, NA time? Or are we probably gonna be late updating the Wiki for the Monday update? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:53, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::When no one was looking late last night, I did a complete dry run and everything worked as expected. It didn't take more than a few hours, and I think I'll be able to shave a few minutes off that because of some of the prepping I've been doing. I expect that everything will be done by Monday barring anything drastic happening. Who knows, I could have a dozen ninjas bust in through my window and I'd have to fight them off instead.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:01, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==Logo is messed up==
While I am searching the wiki some times tho hrwiki logo in the top-left corner of the screen turns to the mediawiki flower logo with a message saying: "set #wgLogo to the URL parh to your own logo image". Is the hrwiki logo not set up properly?
[[User:Matt|Matt]] 15:47, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

:Okay, that was a problem where the Wiki was in two places at once for a little while. I don't know how people made it into the "/new" directory, but this is all fixed now.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

== Images ==

A few images will not display correctly, but fixing them is simple. They just need to be re-uploaded.

<blockquote><div style="float:right">http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/images/4/4e/20051007_broken_fanstuff_image_example.png</div>
Steps to reupload image:
#Find broken image
#Go to image description page
#Click on direct image link. In the example to the right, this is "ZipZap_OldSchool.png".
#Save this image to your computer.
#Click on the "Upload a new version of this file" link on the image description page.
#Browse to the location that you saved the image and re-upload the file, making sure to click the "Save file" button when the upload warning appears.</blockquote>

This is important when someone would want to cite an article for research and so forth.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:03, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::I'm looking forward to the 'Print' tab I've heard about. I'm always up for a new tab. And the move log sounds kinda nifty. I am gonna miss that maintenance page though, *sniff*.

Steps to reupload image:
#Find broken image

#Click on direct image link. In the example to the right, this is "ZipZap_OldSchool.png".
#Save this image to your computer.
#Click on the "Upload a new version of this file" link on the image description page.

I think I've pinpointed a source to one of the problem: everything that begins with a lowercase letter is being sent to a version with a capital letter. So, for example, the email 'pom pom' redirects to 'Pom pom' (which is his character page. It even affects users (which may be why some people can't log in). I'm sure you've noticed this yourself, but I thought I'd point it out anyway. Just to help. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
