Will: Greasemonkey's so cool

{{/Archives}}
== Where art thou? ==

Phlip, buddy, here in the Eastern hemisphere (i.e.: me) miss you on IRC. Where have you been? I can also see you don't edit as much. Is everything alright? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:34, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
:End of semester. Uni work == Very Yes. I haven't had the chance to do that much wiki-related of late. I will return, don't worry. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
::Good luck them on them tests. Just wanted to hear a word from you. :) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I'm making a visit to all my eastern hemisphere buddies. All my buddies on this side of the earth, let me hear you say, "Hey!" Man, I should probably get dressed or something. What is it, like three in the afternoon? Looking good, CortStar. ...Nah, it's really 2:40 in the morning. I should grab some cinnamon and go to bed. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 06:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
::::"Hey!". Grabbing some cinnamon? That's not very ladylike. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

== Subtitles ==

I remember you made a way to put subtitles on Flash cartoons. Are those still on any other website? The two they were on both went down. [[User:Libertyernie|Libertyernie]] 01:03, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
:I probably have it around somewhere... but I'd rather not post it again unless I can get it to work a ''lot'' less kludgy-like. And I can't do that until I get Flash (the creator, not the player) working again... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

== /Archives?! ==
Your archive template is just <tt>/Archives</tt>. Since I wanted to know how you made it look so cool, I tried to find the template. I searched /Archives, User: Phlip/Archives, Template: /Archives, and Template: User: Phlip/Archives. Where could it be? — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 11:31, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
:[[User talk:Phlip/Archives]]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:32, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

==Thank you!==

Thanks for cleaning up my user page! {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 14:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

== Gyp (theme song) ==

You asked: "Did you even read..."
Maybe you could look at Jay's talk page - then you might be able to figure it out for yourself instead of asking the question in your editlog comment on [theme song]. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:58, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:I have read that, and see nothing to suggest that anything should be changed. As Jay said, "gip" is listed as an accepted variant in at least the [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=gip American Heritage dictionary]. [http://www.google.com/search?q=gyp+roma+slur Your own Google link], in just the preview bits from the first few links, I can see "It seems a bit of a stretch to therefore claim "gyp" is a slur." "know that the word ‘gyp’ deriving from ‘gypsy’ is not the least bit a racial slur." "And as you found out, using "gyp" doesn't mean an ethnic slur against gypsies anyway."... and so on. So what is it you claim should be changed? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 01:04, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== Stinkoman Cheat version ==

I would use the forum, but it won't let me join! Anyway, here's the info:

-Whenever I go into the file, full, normal, or non-downloadable, I would not let me play it it's say, "Game not loading" in the bottom corner and still show the loading animation. 
-Windows 2000 
-IE. Don't know the version. 
-When downloaded, Flash 8, but now, Flash 9 
-Updated my flash player version 
Thanks in advance - [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]
:Hmm... First off, it probably actually says "Game not playing" in the corner - which is where it puts assorted information when you are actually playing the game. It says "Game not playing" when you're in the menus and such. For the forever-loading problem, I'd suggest checking that you have all the files extracted correctly - You should have at least cheater.swf, stinkogame.swf and objectLibrary.swf in the main folder, with a lot of .xml files in a levelData folder and lots of .swf files (cutscenes and the manual) in an externalSwf folder... if they aren't in these subfolders, or are missing, I think it'll act like you're saying... I'm not certain, it's been a while since I've looked at it... As for not being able to join the forum, ask for help [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewforum.php?f=3 here] (you can post there without signing in). {{User:Phlip/sig}}

== Help ==
Can you figure out why [[Subtitles:sbemail150/en|this transcript]] isn't loading on the site? It was working fine before. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 16:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
:There was a missing '>' on one of the lines... <code><line start="2031" end="2086"<oldstrongbad></code> – if you use the "test" thing in the new script, it tells you about stuff like that. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

== Spyware ==

I seem to have messed up a page and revealed some coding again, which is strange, because it hasn't happened on the past few pages I put discussions on. Unfortunately, I forget what to do to kill spyware. Any ideas? -- [[User:Dragoon5464|Dragoon5464]] 16:00, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
:[http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ Ad-Aware] and [http://www.safer-networking.org/ Spybot Search&Destroy] are the usual tools for fighting a malware infection. They're both free, and they scan the computer in different ways, so they're both handy to use (one may see something the other misses). As for the adware only affecting some of your edits... the way it works is by adding extra code to whatever's in the edit box when you hit "submit". So if you only edit a section, it can only add its crap to that section. If the section is short and doesn't have any of the keywords it wants to try to add links to, it won't do anything. But if you edit an entire page, it'll have more potential places to add links, since there'll be more in the edit box. if you have any problems with either of those tools, feel free to ask me for help... good luck! {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:10, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== Javascript frame count ==

Sorry to bug you, but is it true that there's a javascript thing to see the current frame of a flash file? (Sorry if I don't make sense, I'm a bit confused.) --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 18:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, use this [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|page]], as long as you have Mozilla Firefox.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 19:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
::Yes, but you see, I use IE and I'm not switching to Firefox anytime soon, so don't say anything like "Get Firefox!" or something like that. --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 20:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
:::You don't have to "switch" to get Firefox. You can continue to use IE if you install Firefox for the subtitles.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:35, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
:::By switch, I also mean install. Plus, my dad seems to have disabled me to be able to change the internet security, so I doubt I could even get Firefox to work. --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 20:40, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
::::Then I don't believe, to my knowledge, that there is any extension of IE so that you can get the javascript thing.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 20:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::The changes I made to the seek bar can be backported to the bookmarklet... quite easily, in fact. However, the IE version of the bookmarklet is a massive kludge that I wouldn't touch with a 10m pole... stupid IE and its stupid URL length restrictions... I'll look into it. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 00:18, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::Sorry to bother you, but, being the one who suggested asking you in the first place, I was specifically talking about the Javascript property which showed the current frame in the Flash file being displayed. Perhaps you could write a script with a "Pause" button and the current frame number. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 00:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
OK, first, go to http://pastebin.ca/raw/159387 and save that somewhere to your hard drive. Then add a new favorite to your favorites list, with this url:
<blockquote><code>javascript:(function(){ var s = document.createElement("script"); s.src = "file:///C:/path/to/wherever/you/saved/the/script.js"; s.type="text/javascript"; document.body.appendChild(s); })()</code></blockquote>
(replacing <code>path/to/wherever/you/saved/the/script</code> with the actual path to wherever you saved the script). That should work... at least, it worked for me. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 01:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
:BTW, your father might be swayed by the advantages of Firefox as a browser. Research it and lay it down for him. It is a great browser. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
::Thank you, Phlip! *fhwee!* P.S. I'll take that into consideration, Qermaq. Or wait until I get my own compy. :P --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 13:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

== Greasemonkey's so cool ==

I've dared myself to watch every Homestar toon ever made once again, just for renewing memory. I downloaded your script to do it. I must say, you're pretty darn awesome. But are there any other scripts (preferably related to Homestar) that you happen to know about? Thanks. →[[User: Will|Will]]← 23:52, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Changing username

2006-07-27T02:55:20Z

Will: /* Seriously to Will */

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, Bureaucrats can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.

==Requesting a change==

To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request in the section below.
#If you are a sysop, please note this fact with your request so that the necessary changes can be made.
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
#You should check that the old account has been recreated and blocked to prevent someone else creating the account and impersonating you.
#:''This cannot be done in the case of usernames with a lowercase first letter, but they can no longer be registered so this isn't a problem.''
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

==Current requests==

=== Count X --> «Âpðçã£ýpX» or Âpðçã£ýpX ===

I wouldn't prefer the latter, but it's the (PEOPLE WHO CHANGE NAMES)'s decision. {{User:Count X/sig}}

:I would call this a very complicaded and hard to read and pronounce name. {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 22:05, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

::I think it would be pronounced "Ahp-thsa-pound-ipcks", but I'm not quite sure how [[Wikipedia:ã|ã]] is supposed to be pronounced (it's a Portuguese letter with no equivalent phoneme in English), and the "th" of ð is supposed to be the ''voiced'' th, like in "them", which is hard to pronounce when followed by the "s" of ç. And no, I don't think this name change is going to happen – we prefer names that you can actually read, none of this neo-1337 buisness. If you ask for "ApocalypX" you have a better chance – I'm not going to say it will, as it's the admin's decision, but it's certainly more likely than your gibberish. How do you propose to type that into [[Special:Userlogin]], anyway? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

:::Most people who use a standard English-language keyboard (which includes the vast majority of HRWiki users) prefer that other users' names be easy to read and, especially, easy to type. Therefore, the best names use only letters (and, occasionally, numbers and symbols) from the standard [[Wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII]] character set. Non-Latin or [[Wikipedia:Unicode|Unicode]]-only characters are really frowned upon, and even characters in the extended [[Wikipedia:ISO/IEC 8859-1|Latin 1]] character set can be a hassle. (We overlook it in cases like [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] because (1) his name actually means something and (2) it would be grammatically incorrect otherwise.)

HRWiki:Changing username

2006-07-27T02:54:54Z

Will: /* Seriously to Will */

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, Bureaucrats can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.

==Requesting a change==

To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request in the section below.
#If you are a sysop, please note this fact with your request so that the necessary changes can be made.
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
#You should check that the old account has been recreated and blocked to prevent someone else creating the account and impersonating you.
#:''This cannot be done in the case of usernames with a lowercase first letter, but they can no longer be registered so this isn't a problem.''
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

:I would call this a very complicaded and hard to read and pronounce name. {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 22:05, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

::I think it would be pronounced "Ahp-thsa-pound-ipcks", but I'm not quite sure how [[Wikipedia:ã|ã]] is supposed to be pronounced (it's a Portuguese letter with no equivalent phoneme in English), and the "th" of ð is supposed to be the ''voiced'' th, like in "them", which is hard to pronounce when followed by the "s" of ç. And no, I don't think this name change is going to happen – we prefer names that you can actually read, none of this neo-1337 buisness. If you ask for "ApocalypX" you have a better chance – I'm not going to say it will, as it's the admin's decision, but it's certainly more likely than your gibberish. How do you propose to type that into [[Special:Userlogin]], anyway? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

:::Most people who use a standard English-language keyboard (which includes the vast majority of HRWiki users) prefer that other users' names be easy to read and, especially, easy to type. Therefore, the best names use only letters (and, occasionally, numbers and symbols) from the standard [[Wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII]] character set. Non-Latin or [[Wikipedia:Unicode|Unicode]]-only characters are really frowned upon, and even characters in the extended [[Wikipedia:ISO/IEC 8859-1|Latin 1]] character set can be a hassle. (We overlook it in cases like [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] because (1) his name actually means something and (2) it would be grammatically incorrect otherwise.)

=== Count X --> «Âpðçã£ýpX» or Âpðçã£ýpX ===

I wouldn't prefer the latter, but it's the (PEOPLE WHO CHANGE NAMES)'s decision. {{User:Count X/sig}}

:I would call this a very complicaded and hard to read and pronounce name. {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 22:05, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

::I think it would be pronounced "Ahp-thsa-pound-ipcks", but I'm not quite sure how [[Wikipedia:ã|ã]] is supposed to be pronounced (it's a Portuguese letter with no equivalent phoneme in English), and the "th" of ð is supposed to be the ''voiced'' th, like in "them", which is hard to pronounce when followed by the "s" of ç. And no, I don't think this name change is going to happen – we prefer names that you can actually read, none of this neo-1337 buisness. If you ask for "ApocalypX" you have a better chance – I'm not going to say it will, as it's the admin's decision, but it's certainly more likely than your gibberish. How do you propose to type that into [[Special:Userlogin]], anyway? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

:::Most people who use a standard English-language keyboard (which includes the vast majority of HRWiki users) prefer that other users' names be easy to read and, especially, easy to type. Therefore, the best names use only letters (and, occasionally, numbers and symbols) from the standard [[Wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII]] character set. Non-Latin or [[Wikipedia:Unicode|Unicode]]-only characters are really frowned upon, and even characters in the extended [[Wikipedia:ISO/IEC 8859-1|Latin 1]] character set can be a hassle. (We overlook it in cases like [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] because (1) his name actually means something and (2) it would be grammatically incorrect otherwise.) All that to say, sorry, we're not gonna change your name to that mess. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

::::Aww. It's would be pronounced "ApocalypX". Drat. {{User:Count X/sig}} 05:55, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Will:

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, Bureaucrats can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]].

Can you please change my username from "Rainer" to "Rob", and if possible, change my username on the fanstuff wiki and the forum. Thanks in advance! {{User:Rainer/sig}} 11:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

:Oh, also, if "Rob" is already taken on the forum (I haven't checked), "Rob123" is fine for there. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 11:08, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

well, then, can i get a second account if i want said specified user name? and made it according to the user name making rules? - [[User:AIK 74|AIK 74]]

=== Count X --> «Âpðçã£ýpX» or Âpðçã£ýpX ===

I wouldn't prefer the latter, but it's the (PEOPLE WHO CHANGE NAMES)'s decision. {{User:Count X/sig}}

:I would call this a very complicaded and hard to read and pronounce name. {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 22:05, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

::I think it would be pronounced "Ahp-thsa-pound-ipcks", but I'm not quite sure how [[Wikipedia:ã|ã]] is supposed to be pronounced (it's a Portuguese letter with no equivalent phoneme in English), and the "th" of ð is supposed to be the ''voiced'' th, like in "them", which is hard to pronounce when followed by the "s" of ç. And no, I don't think this name change is going to happen – we prefer names that you can actually read, none of this neo-1337 buisness. If you ask for "ApocalypX" you have a better chance – I'm not going to say it will, as it's the admin's decision, but it's certainly more likely than your gibberish. How do you propose to type that into [[Special:Userlogin]], anyway? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

:::Most people who use a standard English-language keyboard (which includes the vast majority of HRWiki users) prefer that other users' names be easy to read and, especially, easy to type. Therefore, the best names use only letters (and, occasionally, numbers and symbols) from the standard [[Wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII]] character set. Non-Latin or [[Wikipedia:Unicode|Unicode]]-only characters are really frowned upon, and even characters in the extended [[Wikipedia:ISO/IEC 8859-1|Latin 1]] character set can be a hassle. (We overlook it in cases like [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] because (1) his name actually means something and (2) it would be grammatically incorrect otherwise.) All that to say, sorry, we're not gonna change your name to that mess. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, {{PAGENAME}}! Thanks for joining the wiki! I assure you, pretty much everyone likes seeing a new user join the wiki, so no matter what you'll be treated well here. If you need any help with editing, users, or anything else ask anyone you want on the [[HRWiki:Welcoming Committee#Members|Welcoming Committee]].

Here are some things to help you get started:
* Don't know how to edit? Don't know how to do, well.....anything on the wiki? I know, I was like that too. Just check out the [[Help:Contents|help page]].
* Before you do much serious editing on this site, the best thing you can do is visit the [[HRWiki:Standards|standards for doing so]].
* If you want to create a user page, make sure you visit [[HRWiki:User Space|This page]]. That way, people will '''love''' your userpage. Also, the page you are reading this on right now happens to be your talk page, where you and other people can post messages concerning, well...you.
* If you're bored, or you just want to know what to do to help the wiki, visit [[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]].
* If you're looking to just hang out with all the extremely cool people on this wiki, you might wanna check out the [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum]. Cool place. If you want a more relaxed environment for chilling with users, check out the [[Hrwiki:IRC channel|IRC channel]].
*When posting a comment, leave your signature to make sure everyone knows you were the one who made it. It's easy, just type three tildes (one o' these: ~) after your comment and it will automatically leave a link to your page. You can customize your sig, by the way, and I can dot hat for you if you ask. I'm really good about that technical stuff. Also, when posting a comment that is after another users, just press enter so you are on a new line, then put a colon before you type. Here, check it out:
:Here's one!
::Here's two!
:::Here's three!
That way, everyone will tell your comment from someone else's.
*Here's a complicated page: the [[Special:Recentchanges|The recent changes]]. It may look weird, but it's actually an incredibly organized program used to detect vandalism. If you didn't hear a word I just said, you might want to head over to the [[HRWiki:Recent changes patrol|Patrol page]].
*Above all when on the wiki, be '''Bold''' and have fun!

Feel free to delort [''sic''] this message when you are done reading it. After all, your userpage belongs to you. Have a great time on the wiki, and thanks for joining!

==Signature==

Hi Lapper. I moved your sig to [[User:Lapper/sig]] (with a slash), because that's the right format. (You may have been following Rogue Leader's example with the period, but that's actually incorrect and it's too late to fix it. Oops.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:14, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Also, you don't need to put a timestamp in your sig. Four tildes automatically adds one for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:36, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::He means to post your sig do this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, and your sig and time stamp will appear automatically, with out you having to put five tildes in your sig. Again, in STUFF you put three tildes. If you had four tildes in your sig and put it in stuff, it would be your sig and timestamp, when you don't need a timestamp.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 03:27, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hey again Lapper. Are you meaning to put two em dashes in front of your signature? You've got one in the code of /sig itself, but you're also inserting one as text in front of that. Just wondering, 'cause it looks kinda funny. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:54, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Yes, back then I just was trying to remove the &mdash; code from my signature preferences and into my signature itself, but it just didn't work. I guess it'll have to stay the way it is. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

==Eagle Scout project==

I just wanted to tell you to not procrastinate on your Eagle rank if you can help it. In a few years your life will more than likely be a ''lot'' busier than it is now, making all the work you need to do much more difficult than it already is. Trust me, I know from experience. I earned Life when I was your age and put off a lot of things until last month (one month before my 18th birthday), which made it much more stressful. All that said, congratulations on making it to where you are now, and I wish you good luck in finishing what you have left to do. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 03:32, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:It's really great to know that there's an experienced scouter around here. I actually stopped procrastinating this summer, and started getting down to business. I have three merit badges to receive remaining; personal fitness, citizenship in the community, and citizenship in the world. They aren't so bad, so I'm not incredibly worried. Let me know if you have any good ideas on an Eagle scout project, Some HSR themed username. And thanks so much for your concern. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 11:24, September 22, 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, those last few should be easy to finish up, but don't put them off because of that just to be safe. As far as a project goes, I'm not sure where you live exactly in Missouri but there were a variety of trails in my town that needed work, and that's what I ended up doing. If you can't or don't want to do that, I'm sure you could talk to local organization heads or town/city government officials for ideas as well. Hope that helps. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 14:23, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::I'm really not that outdoorsy for a scout. Ironic, eh? I actually have an idea for a fundraiser or book drive, and I'm also doing the Troop's website on the side. I also might do something for my temple or youth group. Thanks a bunch for the ideas, Some HSR themed username. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:10, September 22, 2005 (UTC)

::::Get it done! Hear me? Get it done! The Eagle application looks a like a lot more than it is (especially getting all those people to to agree to write letters about you and then actually do them) when your 18th birthday is exactly six days away. And like the both of you, I had Life since I was 15. I think it might have even been exactly a week after my 15th birthday. Oh, and Personal Fitness ''is'' one of t he awful ones a.k.a.: the ones with the 3 month requirements. My last three were those exact three. For your project, you could see if your county or coty government has been putting off any "minor" beautification projects and offer to do one. Mine was identifying, cataloging, describing, and making a sign about the animals that inhabit a pond in the park by my house, so that when people go to [[Duck Pond| feed the ducks]], they know what they're feeding. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 06:39, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

:No, I meant that ''you'' hated it when people confused your gender, but you confused ''me'' as a girl. The two sentences were miles apart in time, but it was still hilarious. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:59, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I think I may have a couple ideas. They may not be any good, but I'll give it a shot. Maybe you could show what to put for a welcoming message (and how to sign up for the welcoming comitee), and how to add links and all that minor stuff. They would have been useful if I had known them when I was new. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 19:49, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:You're very welcome, Bubsty. The help pages can be used as templates as well. Easy to post on talk pages. Glad I could help. By the way, is that a new signature? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:31, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Yes it is. Howd u know? {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 18:24, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lapper. Some of your subpages, like the help section, look to be quite useful. ''(Side note: I think a good long-term goal would be for them to move to the Help namespace. Ask me about that later.)'' However, the one called "chain" is not in compliance with our [[hRWiki:User space#What_about_user_subpages.3F|guidelines for user spaces]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:58, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Wow, thanks, It's dot com. My simplifed help pages and I would be honored to appear on a Help namespace. The chain one is simply a list of chain conversations, kind of like a talk page, in which I post for user enjoyment. Please reconsider letting it stay. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:05, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::If dot com doesn't really want it to stay, you could just have a section on your talk page for it.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 21:07, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::Hmmm. Sounds okay, but It would take up an enormous amount of space, text wise. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:09, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::It really doesn't have to do with what I want personally. Subpages simply need to be furthering the knowledge base in some way. What you're planning sounds like it would be better on the [[HRFWiki:|Fanstuff]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:11, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::I was just thinking about that. I don't really want it to be there, for some reason or another. But the guidelines for the spaces allow things that would otherwise be on talk pages. Just a thought. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:12, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::It also says not to abuse the privilege. Why don't you want it on the Fanstuff? It would fit there. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:16, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::::You know, it was just off the top of my head anyway. Maybe I could just confine it to the talk page like you said. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:18, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::::Okay, let's do that for now. I'll give you a couple of minutes to move whatever you need to. Thanks for understanding. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:21, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::Okay, how's that? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:24, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::::::Cool. Thanks again. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:So, It's dot com, do you ''really'' mean you'll put my help templates in a help namespace? That would be so cool. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:33, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Certainly. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:58, September 25, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lapper, I just noticed [[Help:Link|your link help page]] and I thought I'd give a few notes;
For [[Thorax Corporation]] links, type [[Thorax:]] before the link. For [[Videlectrix]] links, type [[Videlectrix:]] before the link.
The [[HR:|Homestar Runner]], [[HRStore:|Yahoo!]], [[Videlectrix:|Videlectrix]], [[Thorax:|THORAX CORP]] and [mailto:fakeemailaddress@website.egg Email] icons will only show up in Mozilla Firefox. In IE, they just look like ordinary [[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia]] links.
Just thought I'd tell you. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 16:55, October 3, 2005 (UTC)

::Wait. What do those links look like in Firefox? Do you have a screenshot? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:58, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::[http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b354/Venusy/Linknotes.png Here's a screenshot.] --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 17:06, October 3, 2005 (UTC)

::::Hmm. Those are cool and all, but I'm not sure I like them. Do they show up much in running text, because I know I'm not designing pages with them in mind. By the way, in IE (and therefore to a lot if not most users), there's a big gap after the ''V-'' in Venusy (also after your discussion speech bubble). (Most people probably don't have the Joystix games font, either, but my hunch is that you already know that.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:19, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Ooh. I totally forgot. Thanks a bunch; I'll add them soon. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:39, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

There are already help pages on STUFF. Your instructions are incorrect. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:36, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

:I apologize. You may delete the page. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:22, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

::No probalo. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:51, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

When would you like to move your others to the Help namespace? What's your time table for that? I'm thinking names like "Help:Signature" would be appropriate. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:51, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

:Nice! If we're doing that, then I'm thinking that maybe we should also link to them through somewhere, like maybe through [[Help:Editing]]. Or even a link in [[Template:welcome]] maybe? Otherwise they might be hard to find. Just brainstorming here... — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

::At the very least they should be listed on [[Help:Contents]]. Also brainstorming... Wikipedia has a tutorial section that I'm thinking we could model this after, if we wanted to get really fancy. But that might be overreaching, I don't know. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:41, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

:::You mean like another link on Contents? More people on the chat channel would see it then... hmmmm.... I don't think I have enough pages to create the Wikipedia deal. Oh! Maybe they could be linked to right next to the buttons when you edit! You know, in line with the Cancel and Editing help links. Maybe.... — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:53, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey Lapper. Good job on your troll help page! I would just reccomend adding how to add a troll to it. --{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 23:48, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks a bunch, bkmlb. What do you mean by ''how to add a troll''? Do you mean to [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]]? I also may add how to revert a page. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:33, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah. Sorry for the confusion. Those help pages are useful! Dot com was right! --{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Hi, nice going on the new [[Help:IRC|IRC help page]], but don't you think the font is too big? I know it's for new users, but I think that they can read a smaller font than that ;) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

:Sure. It's totally preliminary. It's not even in the help namespace yet, so I was just working it around. Thanks for the input. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 16:48, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey, Lapper. I came up with a sort of idea for a new help page. It's a page for minor stuff too small to have their own separate pages. It could include things like how to make a redirect, how to make a subpage, and stuff like that. Good idea, bad idea? Feedback, please. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:53, December 4, 2005 (UTC)

:That's a great idea, DorainGray. I'll get started on that. By the way, have you checked the TriviaTime scores lately? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 19:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

::Not since I got 6565. What, am I in last place now? ;) I know you took first... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:01, December 4, 2005 (UTC)

:::No, you stand a close second place by only 5 or 600 points. You don't have to worry. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:03, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

::::I'm wondering Dorian, if you had that help page idea after doing '''this''' edit. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 20:03, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

:::::Yes, Bubsty, actually I did... And the bit about subpages is something I myself have wanted to know for a while. And I'm sure Lapper will think of some other things to add to it as well... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:07, December 4, 2005 (UTC)

==Strong Bad Email Songs revert==

Why did you revert my move of [[Strong Bad Email Raps]] to [[Strong Bad Scroll Button Songs]]? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 12:43, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I don't want to sound like I'm speaking for him, but I think he made the right choice. You should hear from more than one person before making a significant change like that, and sysop backing would be helpful as well. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 12:47, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

So sorry, Super Sam. In no way did I mean to imply anything negative. When you made the move earlier today, the troll [[Special:Contributions/Hydro|Hydro]] was rampant on page moving and blanking. Going a bit too quickly to pay extreme attention to the intentions of the move, I simply didn't realize that your motives were benign. After all, it's been "raps" for as long as I've been here. Feel free to continue regular editing activity as if I hadn't interfered, if you wish. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:04, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==User page suggestions==

I'm new to the wiki and still figuring out how to make my userpage look better. Any suggestions? You could even edit it if you want. [[User:Arrow'd|Arrow'd]] 02:41, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Thank you for asking for my input, Arrow'd. Here are five ideas of mine.

:*The GIFs, no matter how cool they look, (they rock), slow down even the fastest internet connections.
:**My solution? Save it as a png still image, viewing it from the front. It would still rock, but it wouldn't slow anyone down.
:***If [[User:Bkmlb|Bkmlb]] wants to hear it, I'd advise him to do the same.
:*The light blue on your page somewhat fails to contrast with Wikipedia or Fanstuff links, as they are almost identical in color.
:*Add a bit more content to the page, maybe including how you were introduced to Homestar or the Wiki. Good quotes always make things shimmer.
:*Try not to clutter images. You don't, and that's good, but don't in the future.
:*Provide content with a catchy introduction, a steady middle, and a powerful close.
:**Strong Bad Email blockquotes always make good intros. If you don't know how, come to the [[Help:Sbemail|help page]].

:Try those and you'll have a kickin' userspace in no time! Don't hesitate to ask anything else. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 02:54, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::But blue is my favorite color, along with red and white. So my userpage looks great to me. And about the gifs, I can just reduce the number of frames it has. As for the content, I'm still working on that. [[User:Arrow'd|Arrow'd]] 21:57, September 29, 2005 (UTC)

:::Like I said, it's just a suggestion, and it's your call in the end. Have a great time making your page, Arrow'd! — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 15:03, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==Image uploading==

Hi Lapper, its me again. Um... I just realized that I have absolutely no idea how to upload images. I know you already made a help page on putting an image on the wiki, but it doesn't excactly say ''how'' to upload an image. It could just be my computer, but I can't at all. Do you think you could make a new help page, (or add onto your image help page on that? {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:18, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:(sorry to butt in Lapper)You can just read the Upload link and do what it says. Remember to check the ''Homestar Runner Wiki copyright'' box. It should be a png if it's from a homestar toon and a jpeg if it's from the DVD of live action. It should also be under 100kb, which you can find by lookin gat the Image info. If you want to also replace an existing Image, name it the '''''exact''''' same thing as it is on the wiki. If you upload something that looks the same as snother image, it can always be deleted.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 01:33, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Sorry, I guess I selected my words wrong. I know ''how'' to upload an image, but my computer won't let me. It's at that "choose file" thingy that I don't know what to do with. Even when I select an image that would work, my computer still won't let me. Any suggestions? {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:43, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Hmm...that '''is''' strange. I'm not much of a computer expert, but what browser are you using? You might have some wierd setting that won't let you. I'm not sure at all.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 02:48, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::I'm using Safari. Does that make a differance? {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:58, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::::I don't know. I'm using Safari also. You're on a mac I assume?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 03:00, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::::I should hope. Otherwise Apple might be all up ons on that one. And not in a good way. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:06, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::About the issue, though. When you click the button, you probably see a menu that morphs from your window's bar, or just a pop-up window. For the life of me, I really don't understand why your computer wouldn't let you upload a file. Perhaps try on a public computer, before blaming it on the compy. Good luck. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:10, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, I am using a mac. Thanks for the help guys. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:37, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:And, yeah. I guess I'm better at writing Hebrew than typing it. Thanks for the swtich up. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 15:50, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Nice going on all those holyday mentions, but you don't greet someone with "Happy Day of Remorse". It supposed to be a sad day. (Altough, because no one is driving on that day, all the kids get out on their bike and start driving all over town.) So, instead, say "Easy fast" ("Tzom kal") if you are religious or "Happy blasphemy" ("Kfira neima") if your'e a sinner. Like me. :). {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

:That's common opinion, E.L. Cool, but after listening to a sermon from our rabbi, I found his view interesting. He states that because Adonai has given you a day to be clean of all sins, it should be a happy day, as though a weight has been lifted off your back. Just a thought. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:30, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

::Well, then have a happy Yom Kipur! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Yo! Nice idea on the Babel thingy. I nade one myself for my userpage. It's not as big as yours, but I'll add to it as I see fit. Chack it out! (No, seriously, check it out!!) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:Dude! That looks great! If you want the language name in the left tabs to be all on one line, you can just bring the font size down to 13 or 12. I didn't know Hebrew was your native language! — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 14:55, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, man! I like what you did with my Babel so much, I'm going to add another language! But.. I will get it all screwed up again. :P Could you please add [[Wikipedia:Category:User_gb-N|this template]] to my list? Thanks! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:46, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks a bunch, E.L. Cool! I'd love to add the template for you. Although I can't add it until after school, around 15:00 CST (21:00 for you?). See you then! — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:50, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you muchly for those colors! {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 23:31, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

:No problem, ACupOfCoffee. Keep up your template, because we all know how cool Babel is. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 23:33, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Wow, thanks! I just hopped online and saw the table you put together for my Wikipedia:Babel info. What put you on to my attempts at putting Babel on my page?  [[User:Kyushu|Kyushu]] 08:16, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

:Well, Kyushu, the [[Special:Recent changes|recent changes]] page showed you making edits, so I cheked out your user page. I saw that Babel was kind of mangled, and it's kind of one of my things to make and fix Babel templates on here. See you around. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:11, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

==Sadistic personal narrative==

Lapper sweeps on leather jacket that goes "swooooosh" anyway. Lookin' good in black. Lapper discovers a knife in his pocket. Lapper grasps the knife. 'Tis a good knife. Lapper swiftly exits the dark room and slips on black mirrored lenses. Lapper pulls up collar on his jacket. Lapper grasps the next flight to Canada. Lapper heads straight for Tony Blair's house. Lapper knocks. Tony opens the door. Lapper asks to borrow Tony's pet rock Snuffles. Tony says "Ah..." Lapper cuts him off. Literally. With his knife. And steals his precious rock.

Lapper goes back and picks up rambling Kelsey. Lapper drops her off at the Happy Hotel. Lapper dashes straight to Kelsey's house to tell her parents the news. They say they already knew she was nuts. Lapper leaves with the tip of a cool top hat and drives to Nova Soctia.

Lapper keeps driving until he hits Nova Scotia. Lapper pays the toll at the booth. Lapper rents a room in a hotel... then immediately leaves without warning and goes to Lockeport. But sir! You forgot your ke... Lapper kills the secretary before she can say the "y".

Lapper finds a sane, yet just as crazy as ever, Kelsey waiting in the terminal. They take a cab to the beach. When they get there, they realize they have no cash. Lapper kills the cab driver to compensate. Lapper steals the cab and drives off without Kelsey. She ends up getting eaten by a shark. Lapper forgot to turn off his "On duty" light, so he picks up a customer. The man needs to go to the Beach. Lapper kills the man to compensate, then steals his briefcase. Lapper drives to the beach anyway. Lapper arrives, then, sighing, swims out 50 miles, kills the shark with a paper clip, then pulls the living Kelsey out.

Lapper takes the unconscious, slime covered Kelsey to the hotel where he had previously booked. He passes by the dead secretary. Miss? Said Lapper, I need my key. She rudely ignores him. Lapper goes upstairs to his room and kicks the door open. Lapper finds It's dot com sitting on the bed. What are you doing here? I'm here to end this, Lapper. I'm here to end it all. Lapper drops the unconscious Kelsey on the floor, a real pain for the maid later, and pulls a lighter out of his pocket. Ha ha! It's dot com, this ends now! It's dot com casually pulls a gun from his pocket. *gulp* Said Lapper, as It's dot com clicked the gun. No, Lapper, It's over. It all is. The murders, the killing, and the shooting. It's all over. It's dot com shoots Lapper dead. It's dot com walks out of the room with Kelsey. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

It certainly doesn't hurt to be welcomed more than once, and better safe than sorry, but I've often been on the verge of doing so when I discover they've simply deleted it.

:::So did I. We're all in the same boat. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

::::I think he's just stopped so when he signs on with a fresh account, nobody will suspect it's him. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 01:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for listing me as a contributor. It feels great to know I'm appreciated for what I do. It seems my reputation isn't completely annihilated from past issues. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 01:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

:That's just a list of people who have taken the time to leave a real message. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 01:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Er, ''all'' of the recent new users have been sockpuppet trolls. Perhaps you should hold off on welcoming them for a few minutes after they join. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:38, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

:Sure thing, It's dot com. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 02:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Lapper. It's amazing how many users you've welcomed. I can see the big 3-0-0 is a monumental event. Conga ratz, yo. Thanks for welcoming so many people. — [[HRFWiki: User: Seriously|<tt>seriously</tt>]] [[HRFWiki: User talk: Seriously|<tt>talk</tt>]] 14:50, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

:Thank you, Seriously. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

::Y'know, there was a reason why I posted this on your actual talk page. This ''is'' a talk archive. Why would it make sense to post everything, even if it's on an archive, relating to welcoming here? — [[HRFWiki: User: Seriously|<tt>seriously</tt>]] [[HRFWiki: User talk: Seriously|<tt>talk</tt>]] 17:39, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

:::This archive is not an "archive" in it's definitive sense, as in "historical preservation", but rather a place to keep spare topics instead of them floating around on my User talk. I, personally, tend to merge topics if they are the exact same subject. Again, thank you for your noticing. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:53, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

::::Oh, okay. Smart idea. — [[HRFWiki: User: Seriously|<tt>seriously</tt>]] [[HRFWiki: User talk: Seriously|<tt>talk</tt>]] 23:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

==Toolbox==

I know, I know, this is like, my 20000th time asking for help, but I just had one question. Where do we post your little toolbox template, to make it show up? Please don't kill me on account of my stupidity. Thank you. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 04:09, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

:Bubsty, I don't know where you got the idea that I'm an agressive person, as well as the idea that you've asked for my help too many times. You can easily add my toolbox template to your user page or talk page by placing the following code in either one:<pre>{{User:Lapper/toolbox|Bubsty}}</pre>You can always ask for help. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:21, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

:This code will not work stored in your [[User:Bubsty/monobook.js|Javascript]] page. You can paste it on your user page if you like. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 12:37, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

::Ohhhh... I see. Thanks. And actully, I dont think ur agressive, that was a joke. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 00:45, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

:::Ah. Well, I hope you find it useful. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:06, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

At your request, I deleted your toolbox. There are still links to it on this page and your user page. One user was still using it, but I substituted the code on his page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:53, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

:Thank you, It's dot com. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:18, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

==Explanations==

"Explanations" is just a subcategory of "Fun Facts", along with Trivia, Remarks, Goofs, Glitches, Inside References, Real-World References, and Fast Forward (when applicable). In various places on STUFF, you make comments as though you think otherwise. See the [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]]. Just letting you know. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:36, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

:Sure deal, Jay. But I still can't see why an explanation about military time needs to be voted on. It's perfectly valid and useful. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:38, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

::Hate to butt in, but yeah, I agree. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 05:01, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

:::Thanks, Bubsty. Now I know I'm not totally crazy. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 05:07, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

:::: I never said otherwise; but your comment on how the STUFFed item "wasn't a Fun Fact," along with similar comments in the Potion-ma-jig facts, led me to believe that there was a misunderstanding. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:09, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

==Blog invitation==

I have created a blog called [http://casaestrellacorredor.blogspot.com/ Casaestrella Corredor]. Its a Homestar related blog. Would you like to join? --[[User:Benol|Coach B]] 02:15, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

:I'll definatly consider it, Benol. Thanks for the offer. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:05, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, after observation, I've noticed that all you seem to do on it is post pictures. We do that here, so thanks anyway for the offer. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:06, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

==Apology==

I'm totally sorry about me adding to that pointless disscusion at the more halloween costumes disscusion. Just goin with the flow. Sin-ser-ly, [[User:SupremeRulerOfSBadia|SBadiaRula]]

:It wasn't the discussion itself that was inappropriate. Simply the fact that you were talking about those girls in the photo with a facade that could be taken as sexual harassment. You are free to discuss anything without the virtual cat-calls. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:46, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

::Uuuuhhhhh.... I don't know what the crap any of that means. I'm only 12. But I did undastand that first part. [[User:SupremeRulerOfSBadia|SBadiaRula]]

:::It means you were commenting on the girls' bodies and/or chests in a rude way. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:57, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

yo yo yo {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 23:22, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

:Ladies and Gentlemen, Elcool has not gone crazy. He is simply making as many edits as he can in a row uninterrupted. How far can he get? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 23:23, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

:::Not very good... Maybe better next time. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 23:34, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

I, myself, just bagged 14 in a row. Bet you can't beat that. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 16:54, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

:I just got 22. Beat ''that!'' {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 19:17, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

::Those doesn't count. We talked about constructive editing. Not sandbox crap. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:24, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

:::Dang. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 19:26, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

::He's right, you know. I simply was in a diligent mood when no one else happened to be doing much. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:56, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

==The Thank You Award==

[[Image:Thankyouposter.PNG|thumb|The Thank You Award given to '''Lapper''']]
For helping me through the time when I was new and really stupid, I present to you '''The Thank You Award'''. Thanks for helping! (Seriously, your help pages rule. I still use 'em!). {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:10, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

==Signature==

Hi Lapper. I moved your sig to [[User:Lapper/sig]] (with a slash), because that's the right format. (You may have been following Rogue Leader's example with the period, but that's actually incorrect and it's too late to fix it. Oops.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:14, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Also, you don't need to put a timestamp in your sig. Four tildes automatically adds one for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:36, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::He means to post your sig do this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, and your sig and time stamp will appear automatically, with out you having to put five tildes in your sig. Again, in STUFF you put three tildes. If you had four tildes in your sig and put it in stuff, it would be your sig and timestamp, when you don't need a timestamp.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 03:27, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hey again Lapper. Are you meaning to put two em dashes in front of your signature? You've got one in the code of /sig itself, but you're also inserting one as text in front of that. Just wondering, 'cause it looks kinda funny. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:54, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Yes, back then I just was trying to remove the &mdash; code from my signature preferences and into my signature itself, but it just didn't work. I guess it'll have to stay the way it is. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

==Misplaced votes==

Some of your recent votes in STUFF don't match with the edit summaries as you saved them. All of your edit summaries read "to decline" but your votes [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Template:STUFF/Commandos_in_the_Classroom&curid=11910&diff=145918&oldid=145917 here] and [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Template:STUFF/Commandos_in_the_Classroom&diff=prev&oldid=145917 here] were actually to accept. Just letting you know. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:01, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I actually did notice that - about three seconds after I pushed the save button. Thanks, Dot Com. Guess I was a bit overeager to vote. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 06:05, September 17, 2005 (UTC)

::So the votes themselves are in the right places? That's what I'm most concerned about. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:07, September 17, 2005 (UTC)

:::Indeed they are. Thanks for your concern. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 06:16, September 17, 2005 (UTC)

Hey, Lapper. Hate to bother you, but looks like you voted twice on one STUFF fact: once in each column. I dunno which you want to remove, but the vote is [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/space program#A mutant from where?|here]]. Just to let you know. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:Whoops. I always have trouble with these new fangled stuff boxes. I'll do it in a minute. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:15, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Just so you know, you accidentally voted for the original fact and its revision. Just letting you know. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

:Thank you for letting me know, Has Matt?. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 23:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

==Eagle Scout project==

I just wanted to tell you to not procrastinate on your Eagle rank if you can help it. In a few years your life will more than likely be a ''lot'' busier than it is now, making all the work you need to do much more difficult than it already is. Trust me, I know from experience. I earned Life when I was your age and put off a lot of things until last month (one month before my 18th birthday), which made it much more stressful. All that said, congratulations on making it to where you are now, and I wish you good luck in finishing what you have left to do. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 03:32, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:It's really great to know that there's an experienced scouter around here. I actually stopped procrastinating this summer, and started getting down to business. I have three merit badges to receive remaining; personal fitness, citizenship in the community, and citizenship in the world. They aren't so bad, so I'm not incredibly worried. Let me know if you have any good ideas on an Eagle scout project, Some HSR themed username. And thanks so much for your concern. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 11:24, September 22, 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, those last few should be easy to finish up, but don't put them off because of that just to be safe. As far as a project goes, I'm not sure where you live exactly in Missouri but there were a variety of trails in my town that needed work, and that's what I ended up doing. If you can't or don't want to do that, I'm sure you could talk to local organization heads or town/city government officials for ideas as well. Hope that helps. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 14:23, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::I'm really not that outdoorsy for a scout. Ironic, eh? I actually have an idea for a fundraiser or book drive, and I'm also doing the Troop's website on the side. I also might do something for my temple or youth group. Thanks a bunch for the ideas, Some HSR themed username. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:10, September 22, 2005 (UTC)

::::Get it done! Hear me? Get it done! The Eagle application looks a like a lot more than it is (especially getting all those people to to agree to write letters about you and then actually do them) when your 18th birthday is exactly six days away. And like the both of you, I had Life since I was 15. I think it might have even been exactly a week after my 15th birthday. Oh, and Personal Fitness ''is'' one of t he awful ones a.k.a.: the ones with the 3 month requirements. My last three were those exact three. For your project, you could see if your county or coty government has been putting off any "minor" beautification projects and offer to do one. Mine was identifying, cataloging, describing, and making a sign about the animals that inhabit a pond in the park by my house, so that when people go to [[Duck Pond| feed the ducks]], they know what they're feeding. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 06:39, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

::::::Thanks for the input, ACupOfCoffee. Personal Fitness is indeed a difficult merit badge, but I'm handling it. I currently need Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World, Personal Fitness, and Communications, as well as a project. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:46, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

==Gender quote==

I am not a guy! Lol what I meant was that one of my biggest pet peeves was when people '''CALL''' me a ''guy''. Thus, confusing my gender. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 05:48, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:No, I meant that ''you'' hated it when people confused your gender, but you confused ''me'' as a girl. The two sentences were miles apart in time, but it was still hilarious. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:59, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::OOhhh I understand now. But yeah it still was pretty funny. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 18:06, September 24, 2005 (UTC)

==Help pages==

I think I may have a couple ideas. They may not be any good, but I'll give it a shot. Maybe you could show what to put for a welcoming message (and how to sign up for the welcoming comitee), and how to add links and all that minor stuff. They would have been useful if I had known them when I was new. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 19:49, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Okay, so a welcoming template and a links template. Gotcha. Let me know if you think of anymore. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 19:54, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Will do {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 19:56, September 24, 2005 (UTC)

::Well, I think you may get alot of good ideas if you look through [[Help:Editing]]. May as well, everything like that is there. You could just keep on makin' it simpler. I think what you are doing is a great idea, for those less computer-smart people. Sure helped me :D {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 21:47, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

BTW, nice new sig ;) {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 22:21, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lapper. I checked out ur image help page, and now I know how to make an image. Thanks! --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 16:15, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:You're very welcome, Bubsty. The help pages can be used as templates as well. Easy to post on talk pages. Glad I could help. By the way, is that a new signature? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:31, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Yes it is. Howd u know? {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 18:24, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lapper. Some of your subpages, like the help section, look to be quite useful. ''(Side note: I think a good long-term goal would be for them to move to the Help namespace. Ask me about that later.)'' However, the one called "chain" is not in compliance with our [[hRWiki:User space#What_about_user_subpages.3F|guidelines for user spaces]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:58, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Wow, thanks, It's dot com. My simplifed help pages and I would be honored to appear on a Help namespace. The chain one is simply a list of chain conversations, kind of like a talk page, in which I post for user enjoyment. Please reconsider letting it stay. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:05, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::If dot com doesn't really want it to stay, you could just have a section on your talk page for it.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 21:07, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::Hmmm. Sounds okay, but It would take up an enormous amount of space, text wise. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:09, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::It really doesn't have to do with what I want personally. Subpages simply need to be furthering the knowledge base in some way. What you're planning sounds like it would be better on the [[HRFWiki:|Fanstuff]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:11, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::I was just thinking about that. I don't really want it to be there, for some reason or another. But the guidelines for the spaces allow things that would otherwise be on talk pages. Just a thought. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:12, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::It also says not to abuse the privilege. Why don't you want it on the Fanstuff? It would fit there. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:16, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::::You know, it was just off the top of my head anyway. Maybe I could just confine it to the talk page like you said. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:18, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::::Okay, let's do that for now. I'll give you a couple of minutes to move whatever you need to. Thanks for understanding. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:21, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::Okay, how's that? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:24, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::::::::Cool. Thanks again. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:So, It's dot com, do you ''really'' mean you'll put my help templates in a help namespace? That would be so cool. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:33, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Certainly. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:58, September 25, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lapper, I just noticed [[Help:Link|your link help page]] and I thought I'd give a few notes;
For [[Thorax Corporation]] links, type [[Thorax:]] before the link. For [[Videlectrix]] links, type [[Videlectrix:]] before the link.
The [[HR:|Homestar Runner]], [[HRStore:|Yahoo!]], [[Videlectrix:|Videlectrix]], [[Thorax:|THORAX CORP]] and [mailto:fakeemailaddress@website.egg Email] icons will only show up in Mozilla Firefox. In IE, they just look like ordinary [[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia]] links.
Just thought I'd tell you. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 16:55, October 3, 2005 (UTC)

::Wait. What do those links look like in Firefox? Do you have a screenshot? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:58, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::[http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b354/Venusy/Linknotes.png Here's a screenshot.] --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 17:06, October 3, 2005 (UTC)

::::Hmm. Those are cool and all, but I'm not sure I like them. Do they show up much in running text, because I know I'm not designing pages with them in mind. By the way, in IE (and therefore to a lot if not most users), there's a big gap after the ''V-'' in Venusy (also after your discussion speech bubble). (Most people probably don't have the Joystix games font, either, but my hunch is that you already know that.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:19, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Ooh. I totally forgot. Thanks a bunch; I'll add them soon. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:39, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

There are already help pages on STUFF. Your instructions are incorrect. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:36, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

:I apologize. You may delete the page. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:22, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

::No probalo. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:51, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

When would you like to move your others to the Help namespace? What's your time table for that? I'm thinking names like "Help:Signature" would be appropriate. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:51, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

:Nice! If we're doing that, then I'm thinking that maybe we should also link to them through somewhere, like maybe through [[Help:Editing]]. Or even a link in [[Template:welcome]] maybe? Otherwise they might be hard to find. Just brainstorming here... — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

::At the very least they should be listed on [[Help:Contents]]. Also brainstorming... Wikipedia has a tutorial section that I'm thinking we could model this after, if we wanted to get really fancy. But that might be overreaching, I don't know. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:41, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

:::You mean like another link on Contents? More people on the chat channel would see it then... hmmmm.... I don't think I have enough pages to create the Wikipedia deal. Oh! Maybe they could be linked to right next to the buttons when you edit! You know, in line with the Cancel and Editing help links. Maybe.... — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:53, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey Lapper. Good job on your troll help page! I would just reccomend adding how to add a troll to it. --{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 23:48, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks a bunch, bkmlb. What do you mean by ''how to add a troll''? Do you mean to [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]]? I also may add how to revert a page. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:33, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah. Sorry for the confusion. Those help pages are useful! Dot com was right! --{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Okay, will do. Thank you so much. It's really fun to help people. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:38, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Nice new help page! {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 19:50, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

:Thank you so much, Bubsty. I've been putting the project on hold for a long time. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 19:55, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, nice going on the new [[Help:IRC|IRC help page]], but don't you think the font is too big? I know it's for new users, but I think that they can read a smaller font than that ;) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

:Sure. It's totally preliminary. It's not even in the help namespace yet, so I was just working it around. Thanks for the input. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 16:48, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey, Lapper. I came up with a sort of idea for a new help page. It's a page for minor stuff too small to have their own separate pages.

Why did you revert my move of [[Strong Bad Email Raps]] to [[Strong Bad Scroll Button Songs]]? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 12:43, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

So sorry, Super Sam. In no way did I mean to imply anything negative. When you made the move earlier today, the troll [[Special:Contributions/Hydro|Hydro]] was rampant on page moving and blanking. Going a bit too quickly to pay extreme attention to the intentions of the move, I simply didn't realize that your motives were benign. After all, it's been "raps" for as long as I've been here. Feel free to continue regular editing activity as if I hadn't interfered, if you wish. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:04, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==User page suggestions==

I'm new to the wiki and still figuring out how to make my userpage look better. Any suggestions? You could even edit it if you want. [[User:Arrow'd|Arrow'd]] 02:41, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Thank you for asking for my input, Arrow'd. Here are five ideas of mine.

:*The GIFs, no matter how cool they look, (they rock), slow down even the fastest internet connections.
:**My solution? Save it as a png still image, viewing it from the front. It would still rock, but it wouldn't slow anyone down.
:***If [[User:Bkmlb|Bkmlb]] wants to hear it, I'd advise him to do the same.
:*The light blue on your page somewhat fails to contrast with Wikipedia or Fanstuff links, as they are almost identical in color.
:*Add a bit more content to the page, maybe including how you were introduced to Homestar or the Wiki. Good quotes always make things shimmer.
:*Try not to clutter images. You don't, and that's good, but don't in the future.
:*Provide content with a catchy introduction, a steady middle, and a powerful close.
:**Strong Bad Email blockquotes always make good intros. If you don't know how, come to the [[Help:Sbemail|help page]].

:Try those and you'll have a kickin' userspace in no time! Don't hesitate to ask anything else. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 02:54, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::But blue is my favorite color, along with red and white. So my userpage looks great to me. And about the gifs, I can just reduce the number of frames it has. As for the content, I'm still working on that. [[User:Arrow'd|Arrow'd]] 21:57, September 29, 2005 (UTC)

:::Like I said, it's just a suggestion, and it's your call in the end. Have a great time making your page, Arrow'd! — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 15:03, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==Image uploading==

Hi Lapper, its me again. Um... I just realized that I have absolutely no idea how to upload images. I know you already made a help page on putting an image on the wiki, but it doesn't excactly say ''how'' to upload an image. It could just be my computer, but I can't at all. Do you think you could make a new help page, (or add onto your image help page on that? {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 01:18, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:(sorry to butt in Lapper)You can just read the Upload link and do what it says. Remember to check the ''Homestar Runner Wiki copyright'' box. It should be a png if it's from a homestar toon and a jpeg if it's from the DVD of live action. It should also be under 100kb, which you can find by lookin gat the Image info. If you want to also replace an existing Image, name it the '''''exact''''' same thing as it is on the wiki. If you upload something that looks the same as snother image, it can always be deleted.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 01:33, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Sorry, I guess I selected my words wrong. I know ''how'' to upload an image, but my computer won't let me. It's at that "choose file" thingy that I don't know what to do with. Even when I select an image that would work, my computer still won't let me. Any suggestions? {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:43, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Hmm...that '''is''' strange. I'm not much of a computer expert, but what browser are you using? You might have some wierd setting that won't let you. I'm not sure at all.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 02:48, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::I'm using Safari. Does that make a differance? {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:58, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::::I don't know. I'm using Safari also. You're on a mac I assume?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 03:00, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::::I should hope. Otherwise Apple might be all up ons on that one. And not in a good way. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:06, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::About the issue, though. When you click the button, you probably see a menu that morphs from your window's bar, or just a pop-up window. For the life of me, I really don't understand why your computer wouldn't let you upload a file. Perhaps try on a public computer, before blaming it on the compy. Good luck. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:10, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, I am using a mac. Thanks for the help guys. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:37, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:And, yeah. I guess I'm better at writing Hebrew than typing it. Thanks for the swtich up. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 15:50, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Nice going on all those holyday mentions, but you don't greet someone with "Happy Day of Remorse". It supposed to be a sad day. (Altough, because no one is driving on that day, all the kids get out on their bike and start driving all over town.) So, instead, say "Easy fast" ("Tzom kal") if you are religious or "Happy blasphemy" ("Kfira neima") if your'e a sinner. Like me. :). {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

:That's common opinion, E.L. Cool, but after listening to a sermon from our rabbi, I found his view interesting. He states that because Adonai has given you a day to be clean of all sins, it should be a happy day, as though a weight has been lifted off your back. Just a thought. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:30, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

::Well, then have a happy Yom Kipur! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

==Babel==

Yo! Nice idea on the Babel thingy. I nade one myself for my userpage. It's not as big as yours, but I'll add to it as I see fit. Chack it out! (No, seriously, check it out!!) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:Dude! That looks great! If you want the language name in the left tabs to be all on one line, you can just bring the font size down to 13 or 12. I didn't know Hebrew was your native language! — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 14:55, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, man! I like what you did with my Babel so much, I'm going to add another language! But.. I will get it all screwed up again. :P Could you please add [[Wikipedia:Category:User_gb-N|this template]] to my list? Thanks! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:46, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks a bunch, E.L. Cool! I'd love to add the template for you. Although I can't add it until after school, around 15:00 CST (21:00 for you?). See you then! — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:50, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you muchly for those colors! {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 23:31, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Wow, thanks! I just hopped online and saw the table you put together for my Wikipedia:Babel info. What put you on to my attempts at putting Babel on my page?  [[User:Kyushu|Kyushu]] 08:16, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

:Well, Kyushu, the [[Special:Recent changes|recent changes]] page showed you making edits, so I cheked out your user page. I saw that Babel was kind of mangled, and it's kind of one of my things to make and fix Babel templates on here. See you around. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:11, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

==Sadistic personal narrative==

Lapper sweeps on leather jacket that goes "swooooosh" anyway. Lookin' good in black. Lapper discovers a knife in his pocket. Lapper grasps the knife. 'Tis a good knife. Lapper swiftly exits the dark room and slips on black mirrored lenses. Lapper pulls up collar on his jacket. Lapper grasps the next flight to Canada. Lapper heads straight for Tony Blair's house. Lapper knocks. Tony opens the door. Lapper asks to borrow Tony's pet rock Snuffles. Tony says "Ah..." Lapper cuts him off. Literally. With his knife. And steals his precious rock.

Lapper goes back and picks up rambling Kelsey. Lapper drops her off at the Happy Hotel. Lapper dashes straight to Kelsey's house to tell her parents the news. They say they already knew she was nuts. Lapper leaves with the tip of a cool top hat and drives to Nova Soctia.

Lapper keeps driving until he hits Nova Scotia. Lapper pays the toll at the booth. Lapper rents a room in a hotel... then immediately leaves without warning and goes to Lockeport. But sir! You forgot your ke... Lapper kills the secretary before she can say the "y".

Lapper finds a sane, yet just as crazy as ever, Kelsey waiting in the terminal. They take a cab to the beach. When they get there, they realize they have no cash. Lapper kills the cab driver to compensate. Lapper steals the cab and drives off without Kelsey. She ends up getting eaten by a shark. Lapper forgot to turn off his "On duty" light, so he picks up a customer. The man needs to go to the Beach. Lapper kills the man to compensate, then steals his briefcase. Lapper drives to the beach anyway. Lapper arrives, then, sighing, swims out 50 miles, kills the shark with a paper clip, then pulls the living Kelsey out.

Lapper takes the unconscious, slime covered Kelsey to the hotel where he had previously booked. He passes by the dead secretary. Miss? Said Lapper, I need my key. She rudely ignores him. Lapper goes upstairs to his room and kicks the door open. Lapper finds It's dot com sitting on the bed. What are you doing here? I'm here to end this, Lapper. I'm here to end it all. Lapper drops the unconscious Kelsey on the floor, a real pain for the maid later, and pulls a lighter out of his pocket. Ha ha! It's dot com, this ends now! It's dot com casually pulls a gun from his pocket. *gulp* Said Lapper, as It's dot com clicked the gun. No, Lapper, It's over. It all is. The murders, the killing, and the shooting. It's all over. It's dot com shoots Lapper dead. It's dot com walks out of the room with Kelsey. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 04:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

It certainly doesn't hurt to be welcomed more than once, and better safe than sorry, but I've often been on the verge of doing so when I discover they've simply deleted it.

== 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.

== 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)

== Question ==
How do I know when a TriviaTime match is going on? {{User:LePorello/sig}} 21:53, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
:Join [irc://irc.freenode.net/hrwiki-trivia #hrwiki-trivia] and see if the user 'TriviaTime' is in there. If so, type '!trivia start'. [[User:Ed smildE|Ed smilde]]/[[User talk:Ed smildE|talk]]
::It always gives me that "page cannot be displayed" screen. Also EdS, did you mean to put that exclamation point next to "trivia" up there?{{User:LePorello/sig}} 02:01, 18 February 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)
::::OK. {{User:LePorello/sig}} 00:15, 20 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)
:::::Well yeah, I know that. Everyone does.....right? {{User:Seriously/sig}} 20:45, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::Huh?? --{{User:The thing/sig}} 22:02, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

== Back ==

Are you back! --{{User:The thing/sig}} 14:56, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
:Obviously not. Like he said above, he's setting up the Homestar Runner Netwrk, among other things. Don't worry; he's not gone forever. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 01:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
::''Now'' he's back. [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:JoeyDay&diff=next&oldid=280433 See]. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 23:52, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Welcome back! Glad to see that you are back. and also glad to see that your stress-o-meter has gone down. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

== XHTML elements ==

Hey, I noticed you upgraded some <nowiki> </nowiki> tags to <nowiki> </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> </nowiki> to <nowiki> </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> </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. My wife particularly enjoyed the translations one as she was a history major and she spent a year studying and reading the Tyndale version. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 19:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Oh, I also asked if you design and maintain your websites or does someone else? I have been using your CSS to teach myself CSS. Some of it I still don't what it does. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 19:51, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

::::Hm, I'm not sure if I got that email. Yes, I've had time to look through the Word doc, but I haven't had time to pick it apart and really analyze it yet. Perhaps I'll sit down and do that here in the next day or two. Thanks for the comments on the studies I have on my Documentation wiki. I enjoy putting those together and it's good to hear someone is paying attention to them and they aren't just collecting dust. Yes, I do all of my own CSS. Are there particular places you're having trouble understanding? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 20:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::There is a really neat story to go along with the word doc as you can probably tell but the begining in italics. I'll have to take the time to write out what happened but I don't have time at the moments. As to the CSS, I'd rather than not clog this place up with a score of non-H*R stuff, I'll shoot you another email. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 21:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== <Napoleon Dynamite>Yes!</Napoleon Dynamite> ==
My dad says that I can donate. Which totally rocks. Once the pledge drive begins (or just when he feels like getting off the couch ;)) I'm definitely donating at least 20$. I've used this wiki for a long time, and I figured I should give something back. Thanks for creating such an awesome place! — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:33, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

:::'''EDIT CONFLICT:''' Yeah, it is Lapper's, not JoeyDay's.

== Hey ==

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)

::See the deletion log, Joey. It's Fire Man's talk page, which Dot com calls a vandal talk page. Totally not takin' any sides, {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 23:56, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Thanks for keeping us in mind for additional admins. It's dot com did this kind of stuff, he banned my friends account (Fireman) for no reason and he delete's pages and then he restores them. Bye --[[User:Master Chief|Master Chief]] 00:13, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Master Chief 18:13 2006 March 23
::::Also check the [[Special:Log/block|block log]] and the [[Special:Ipblocklist|blocklist]]. He banned Fire Man with an infinite ban and F.M's innocent. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 01:42, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::The reason for those pages being deleted was because they were just redirects to people's user pages, and they were not needed. Apparently the only way to get rid of those is to delete them and then restore them again. If you ever want to see the reason for why a page got deleted, just check the reason in parinthises behind the edit in the history or [[Special:Log|Logs]]. [[User:Ed smildE|Ed smilde]]/[[User talk:Ed smildE|talk]]

== Purge Button ==

Ummm....What does the purge button do? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 22:48, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
:It updates your sig. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 22:51, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
::Really? But my sig updates autimaticly and why does the front page have one? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 22:54, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
:::'''EDIT CONFLICT'D:''' It forces all templates on a page to update, such as {{tl|whatsnew}} on the [[Main Page]], or your sig if you change it at some point. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 22:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

== New Format ==

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. I would appreciate it if you could get back to me on this when you get the chance. Thanks for reading this.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 17:01, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
:I don't mean to answer for Joey, but I can safely say this is completely permanent. Hopefully, it will look better soon. But in the meantime, this is our only option. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 17:03, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
::To be honset with you, I was kinda hoping that Joey would answer. He's, like, the creator of the Wiki and I wanted to be able to get a reply from him.

::::Hey, wait...That's the death hoooooooooooole--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 17:22, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
:::::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)
::::::Bluebry, it is not an April Fool's joke. That is the final time I'm saying it. Thhere's a lot of stuff happening at the server. The troll took advantage of that. Please realize there is nothing we can do if people are a bit hyped up. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 17:30, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Hey.. ==

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? But that's not true, is it? *cough**cough*[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=8 click here]*cough**cough*. So uh, what is it Joey? 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)

== It's dot com ==

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)

== Just letting you know ==

Hi JoeyDay stop giving crap that doesn't exist! We did not create vandal sockpuppets! Dot Com just wants to get us in trouble for no reason.--[[User:Master Chief|Master Chief]] 21:01, 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?

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.

Hi Joey,

You're doing incredible work and I love your content. I'm the new CEO of Wikia.com and I'm trying to build the best place on the internet for all passionate wiki users. I had a few thoughts for you.
* I'm not a user but if it's okay I can make a small personal donation to the site
* We offer wiki hosting and are currently on mediawiki 1.7, so we'd love to host your site if you were interested
* We are normally ad supported, but in your case we might make some sort of exception, either by leaving ads off for the first year or so, or some other idea if that made a difference
* We also have a ton of tools for preventing spam and vandalism - I see you've had to add graphical logos to each edit page, which is a bummer
* I hope I'm not offending you with the offer, so if nothing else, leave me a message at Wikia on my userpage [http://wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Gil Gil] and I will make a small donation to your site, so you can keep doing great work.

Cheers

:Gil, thanks so much for your generous offer. [[User:Angela|Angela]] has tempted us with this offer before, but we have a strong desire to remain independant. We are very proud to do what we do on our own, and like to remain in complete control of the server and the software. Thanks again. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:12, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey Joey. Y'know, I've thought for a long time how you made those great images such as the logos, the backgrounds in the main page, and so on. DFid you get them from somewhere. Or did you construct them yourself? The reaosn I'm asking is that I'm trying to [[HRFWiki: Main Page Test/Seriously|trying to consturct a new main page idea]] for the Fanstuff Wiki, and I was wondering if you knew how to make a Pom Pom background much like the SB and Homestar ones.

Senor Cardgage

2006-06-29T14:27:30Z

Will:

[[Image:Senor_Cartgage_Profile.PNG|thumb|right|100px|So cool.]]

{{about|creepy mortgage broker and used car salesman}} {{for|blue [[Storybook Characters|storybook character]]|Señor}} {{for|common misuse of the Spanish word "Señor"|Senor}}

'''Senor Cardgage''' is apparently the creepy guy that lived down the street from the Brothers Strong when they were little, and gave [[Strong Sad]] nightmares due to his extreme sketchiness. He now runs [[Senor Cardgage Mort-gage|his own mortgage business]] as well as a [[Senorial Day|used car dealership]]. His name is pronounced "[[Senor|Seh-nor]]", not "Seh-nyor", due to the lack of a [[Wikipedia: tilde|tilde]] on the N.

Some of his traits include:
* Suspiciously coming out of bushes and shrubs just as you walk by
* Always carrying [[Aldi Bag|an old plastic Aldi grocery bag]] of mysterious contents
* Loudly eating melty chocolate bars while standing too close to you in lines
* Smelling like [[Peas|pea soup]] (according to [[Homestar Runner]])
* Being so cool, that even if you were a dude, still calling at you like you were a lady.

[[Image:Can of Peas.png|thumb|left|"Look at this can of peas, Helvetica."]]
Senor Cardgage speaks in phrases that are almost one word but not quite another, like; "excardon me" and "exobably not," and he talks in a very quiet voice. He'll also "call at you as if you were a lady," regardless of your gender.

Even though he has a car dealership and a mortgage company, his residence is unknown. It is suggested in [[Senorial Day]] and [[candy product]] that he is homeless, as he is shown in an [[Alleyway|alleyway]] sleeping in a sleeping bag and using his [[Wikipedia:Aldi|Aldi]] bag as a pillow. Strong Sad said that Senor Cardgage lived down the street when they were little, implying he had a house at one point; however, there is no proof of this or of his current residence, if any. Although it is implied that he is poor, he offers to buy Strong Sad a can of peas at [[Strong Bad]]'s [[garage sale]] for $99, and then proceeds to buy it for himself.

When Strong Bad is asked what he would be like if he was not stylish and buff in the email "[[kind of cool]]", he describes Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad who is just like Senor Cardgage. Both are, at least to Strong Bad, "so cool, you don't even know [that they are] cool".

It is often debated whether Senor Cardgage and Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad are the same person or not, but it is notable that during the "[[Sketchbook (video)|Sketchbook]]" extra on the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD, [[The Brothers Chaps]] refer to this character as Senor Cardgage, and during the commentary for [[garage sale]], they remark, "Ah, good ol' Senor Cardgage. I guess he's a real character now." Also, in the [[Toons Menu]], the description for [[Senor Mortgage]] reads "Wait. Is Senor Cardgage real?!"

This template attempts to workaround a problem in the MediaWiki software where redirects to sections of articles are only redirected to the top of the article. This is done by forcing the end user to click through on something, which in my opinion is worse.

This page is the sole exception to the "articles are in the main namespace" rule, and giving it a different title would make it seem as if this was an article about the Homestar Runner Wiki (remember, we already have an article for that at [[HRWiki:A History]]). This is the main page of the wiki, it's our cover page and our table of contents. It's not the Homestar Runner Wiki. The entire wiki is the Homestar Runner Wiki.

It has links to the other pages that ''make up'' the Homestar Runner Wiki.

:::Lapper: I think you're splitting hairs here. The reason for the change isn't so that we have an article about the wiki itself, it's so that the words "[[Homestar Runner Wiki]]" will appear, as a title like in that link, at the top of the page all professional-like. I suppose one could make a case that a page called "Homestar Runner Wiki" is just fine for a table of contents of the wiki, and certainly "Talk:Homestar Runner Wiki" would be a good change, since the page is devoted to general discussion about wiki matters and isn't really used much to talk about the contents or format of the front page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:43, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

::::That's not what I was saying; I was saying that that would be the pratical use for such a title. I prefer the term "Main Page", although "Talk:Main Page" is somewhat misleading, as most of the time it isn't for discussion of the Main Page. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 03:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:'''Support'''. I can see the arguments for both sides. The strongest argument against, I think, is that the main page is not the whole Homestar Runner Wiki, but just the entry portal. That being said, I can't see that confusing anyone or causing problems. "Homestar Runner Wiki" would look a little nicer, and it would make the purpose of this talk page more clear (it took me a long time to realize that discussions about the wiki in general were occurring here). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:59, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:I don't care too much, but I would prefer that it stay as the Main Page, for all the reasons above, and most people will already see from the logo that this is the HRWiki, and the Main Page title will complement it by saying that it's the main page. Plus, I don't want to stare at a note that I was redirected when I enter the site. '''Another Option:''' we could do what [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia]] does, and cut out the title completely.

:It would just look weird. Plus I like the word: Main Page as the title.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 19:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:Something to point out is the fact that Wikipedia ''can't'' do this, because they already have an article about [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia|the encyclopedia itself]] in the same place where the title article would go. Most other wikis don't have this problem. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:I'm kinda in between... on one hand, it really is the Main Page and that's a descriptive title ('Homestar Runner Wiki - Homestar Runner Wiki' would look weird but maybe that can be fixed). On the other hand, 'Homestar Runner Wiki' looks a ton nicer and more welcoming. I'll say I '''support'''. It wouldn't look like an article about the Homestar Runner Wiki any more than 'Main Page' looks like an article about the Main Page on H*R. {{User:Ed smildE/signature}}

THe only problem I've seen noted about the current title is that it is "boring" - but being an encyclopedia, this wiki should not be trying to be "exciting", rather it should be noting what is exciting about Homestar Runner. Since I see no real benefit from such a change, I must '''decline'''.

:However, I counterpropose: '''change name''' to "Homestar Runner Wiki - Main Page". This allows the page to be identified as exactly what it is, but also serve as a suitable cover for the encyclopedia. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:I support moving it to Homestar Runner Wiki.[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

::In response to [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]], although this is indeed a "compromise", I believe that that title is rather long, not only for a URL, but for the H1 title itself. Perhaps it is an accurate description, but it is slightly wordy. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 01:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

:Why not move it into the HRWiki: namespace? There's no real reason why we couldn't... If the appropriate MediaWiki pages are changed, there's nothing stopping the main page from being [[HRWiki:Main Page]], or [[HRWiki:Homestar Runner Wiki]] or something like that... and it would answer the question about it ''being'' a Main Page, rather than being ''about'' a Main Page. And for those that are wondering: http://www.hrwiki.org/ would correctly load the right page, no "Redirected" message. [[Main Page]] would have to be kept as a redirect though, for people that have http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page bookmarked, or as an external link on their page. After enough time, it could concievably become a redirect to [[Main Pages]] with a disambig notice to the new main page, but that's a discussion for then, not now. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:54, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
::Phlip's idea of HRWiki:Main Page holds merit, and I would '''support''' it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:31, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I would rather leave it unchanged than do that. To borrow a phrase, it is not a noticeable improvement over how it is now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:39, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
::::"HRWiki:Main Page" is a pretty good compromise, and it might even solve the talk page ambiguity problem. "HRWiki talk:Main Page" ''does'' sound like the main talk page for the Homestar Runner Wiki. If "Homestar Runner Wiki" doesn't fly, I could definitely support this one. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
:I support either leaving it as [[Main Page]] or eliminating the page title a la Wikipedia. Moving the Main Page to [[Homestar Runner Wiki]] would be a bit too drastic in my opinion. {{User:Kilroy/sig}} 23:46, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

== Dates for updates ==

They seem to be a month too far. Homestarrunner.com was last updated in May, yet the front page claims it was updated yesterday, which was exactly one month later than it actually was.
:No... It says 5-22-06. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::(S/He means the Wiki's front page claims it was updated yesterday, Dorian. :) ) —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
:You're right, the last big update was in May. But there are several smaller updates that have been happening that are not noted on the HR.com main pages. The dates of the [[Podstar Runner]] releases and [[Store]] updates are indeed accurate. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:27, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

==Block of 64.12.116.12==

If you look at how he vandalized It's dot com's userpage, he was apparently Dr. Who?. Dr. Who? has since repented, and he currently edits as [[User:Taco Salad of My Dreams]]. Thus, I don't think it's that necessary to block him. — {{User:Seriously/sig}} 17:48, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

:Note how the IP address [[Special:Contributions/64.12.116.12|64.12.116.12]] is in the AOL IP range 64.12.0.0/16. Also note how any vandal has his or her impersonators. Please don't concern yourself with blocking. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:57, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

::Yeah, Droifc popped up a while back to defend the annoying author of a terrible fanfic that was getting really bad reviews, and who was being made fun of by some of us IMDBers for replying to all reviews (even constructive criticism) with "ur all prepz i hat u u suk!!" We suspected Droifc was either the author or one of her friends, but now we think Droifc is probably one of the reviewers under a different identity, because it's unlikely that this Droifc could be for real (although it would be funny), and s/he's right, s/he DID announce his/her password, so several people (such as me) helped ourselves to the account. Now Droifc is on an obsessive vendetta against me, and keeps starting threads about how much I suck, that keep getting deleted by the IMDB admins. {{User:Granola/sig}} 17:08, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

:::I really don't think it was very nice of you to assume Jody Droif's (aka Drofic's) account, even if he or she posted the password. Although the vendetta is indeed petty, it is not without base. Do not commit acts of unfriendliness to others – on or off the Internet. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 18:28, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

::::Droifc started this vendetta before that; the password incident just made Droifc more obsessed with it. I don't think it was very nice either, but Droifc was already starting anti-me threads everywhere; I would never have done that if some random person had accidentally blurted it out, rather than an enemy saying something like "i changd mah pasword 2 'ihateyelt' cuz u suk yletnesic!" (I also returned the account shortly, by e-mailing the new password, but Droifc changed it back to the old one, so someone else stole the account and still has it). {{User:Granola/sig}} 18:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::What, may I ask, started this vendetta? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 18:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

::::::Droifc hated everyone for disliking the terrible [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2828044/1/ fanfic] I mentioned, but me especially because I started Dandypedia. (admittedly that was originally a vendetta of sorts, but I started the site for fun). Now Droifc has either revealed him/herself to be, or is pretending to be, a right-wing religious extremist and is making lists of everyone on the boards who will go to hell for reading Harry Potter and His Dark Materials. (I suspect that this is all fake, and is automatic opposition to me, after studying my Myspace, Wikipedia userpage etc for things to disagree with me on). {{User:Granola/sig}} 18:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Well, the best we can do for now is remove his future hate-material. And, not to take sides, but that is indeed a poorly written story. "Special fangz [to] ... bloodytearz666 4 helpin me wif da ... spelling...". That's some nice spelling. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 19:05, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

==phpBB==

I don't think I have ever seen such a throughly elaborate and awesome format for a Talk Page. That is truly amazing. With your knowledge of wikicode, you could beautify formatting like nobody else. Fabulous job. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

:Why thank you, Seriously. Your generous compliments flatter me. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 01:13, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

:I agree with Seriously, Your talk page is intuitive and amazing when it comes to creativity and complicated wikicode and is something that I could have never thought of or performed. {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 01:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

::Thank you, Dacheatbot. You're very kind. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 02:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I think the main reason it looks so awexome is because it looks like the aforementioned phpBB. It's very innovative. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 11:05, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Looks like a lot of work. Good job. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 19:11, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

==Wikiholic test==

Hmm, I got a bit over 1000 on that test too (replacing "Wikipedia" with "HRWiki", "Jimbo Wales" with "Joey Day, etc)... about 1015 or something, I can't remember the exact number... This is probably not a good sign. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 15:47, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

:Well, it may be an addiction, but the skills pay the bills... or at least help add significant content to the site daily. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 16:52, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

::Wait, you're getting paid for this? I had to pay ''them'' to let me become a syso... err... by which I mean that none of the admins, least of all Dot com, can be proven to have accepted massive bribes into their off-shore bank accounts. For real. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:56, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

:::Well, I guess that indirectly makes me your boss, Phlip. You bribe them, they bribe me. I mean... bribe? What... bribe? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:01, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

::::Caught ya! I'ma go seel this to some celebrity newspaper or gossip column...or something...But yeah, where can I take this quiz, if possible? I'm on the wiki way too much to neglect it. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:09, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::It's linked to from my userpage. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 02:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

==MediaWiki fixation==

I'm in the process of setting up my own wiki. I'm interested in how the Introduction page works. A few days ago, you wrote this on that page: "There is a MediaWiki message for this page, allowing people to edit the page as blank, even though the code appears at the top. — Lapper (talk • aim) 12:27, 15 May 2006 (UTC)." Could you please tell me where to go learn how to do this? I've looked through the MediaWiki documentation, but to no avail. It explains how to create system messages (which I already knew how to do), but not how to attach a new message to a particular page.

The top one is your current sig, complete with link to a pointless redirect page. The bottom one is your sig, actually linking to your talk page directly. Other than the underline on the link, they look ''exactly the same'', and that's only because I have "Always underline links" turned on in my [[Special:Preferences|prefs]].

:While I understand what you're saying, there's one thing that ''does'' make it look better. I just don't like seeing an empty link to my talk page when I'm viewing messages here.

:For some idiotic reason, all admins here are admins at the Fansuff wiki. However, no admins at the fanstuff wiki (besides Hrwiki admins) are admins here. — {{User: Seriously/sig}}
::No, if you look closely, you'll see that the knowledge-base sysops just have [[HRFWiki:Special:Listusers/reservist|reserve permissions]] at the fanstuff. That means that they can help out in an emergency, but don't have any responsibilities other than that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::Well, I understand that. However, I find it idiotic because admins from there aren't admins here. There's no reason why those sysops aren't as good as you guys. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 19:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Because there's no need. We have enough KB sysops to completely cover the workload without a need for emergency reserves. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::But then why not let the Fanstuff wiki have their own sysop nominations? I think there wouldn't be a need for reservists, then, and the Fanstuff wiki qwould be able to choose. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 19:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Yeah. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 19:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Then I don't see what you're griping about. As a rule, we stay out of the internal affairs of both the fanstuff and the forum, only stepping in in extreme circumstances.

::::::::::Huh? An example of an extreme circumstance would be being overrun with a vandal attack. I can't think of anything short of that where the reservists should exercise their abilities. In general, that doesn't happen much, and so the current amount of fanstuff sysops is plenty. If you disagree, however, you should take it up with them, not here. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

== Image upload ==

Why on Earth was there a problem with the uploading of the images from my Wikipedia userpage?
[[User:Booksworm|Booksworm]] 13:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:The problem is that every user is only allowed 2 personal images (plus a small one for their sig). That was about eight images, six more than is allowed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Abusing the system ==

Hello again, x-Spider2. First of all: It is highly discouraged to have internal redirects on your user space. Second of all: Did you know that some of the 1.6 features like rando were disabled on Wikipedia because of user abuse? That option was designed to better articles, not desplaying random messeges on your user page. Other users have previously contacted you concerning Recent Changes flooding, showing page previews, user page editing and image uploading, and now this. '''Your user page is long and complicated enough as it is'''. While you still confirm to [[HRWiki:User space|the guidelines]], you are very close to breaking them. Please review your actions and read closely to what other advise you. As I told you before - Your knowledge of HTML and wiki-syntax can be valuable to the wiki ''if you will only use it on main space articles''. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

:Sorry about the subpage, but it just seems a waste to only be using the random syntax for [[Template:Homsar Quote]]. --{{User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2}} 05:13, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

::HomsarQuotes was built before that was available, actually. But you're missing the point. The point is to get ''out'' of your user space. This isn't a webhosting service. Besides that, nobody is ever going pay attention to anyone else's user page to the extent that you're putting effort into yours, so all the time you're pumping into it could be spent making the rest of the wiki better, never mind the fact that pages on this wiki should ideally be designed to look good (or at least passable) on any browser using any resolution. <s>I don't know many who use a resolution as large as your recommendation, and not for lack of trying.</s> — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I originally misread the numbers on the recommended resolution. Still, it's considered poor form to design to a particular browser and screen size. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

::::I agree - you cannot know what combination of font size, screen resolution and other factors the user's browser is set to use, so designing for a specific size, as if you were doing a graphic layout on a piece of paper, has long been viewed by web authors as "A Dumb Thing To Do." Incidentally, I run the resolution you are requesting, and the page looks like a cluttered mess. (And, btw, my browser of choice, Opera, cannot be used to post to your talk because my entire computer froze twice trying to. Firefox seems to work so far, but I'm saving a lot just in case.)

::::But there's another point of "abuse of the system" I'd like to broach with you. I counted your user space edits in the last 100 edits and came up with 87. I looked at random other 100-edit spans and came up with similar results. Long story short - you are spending an ''inordinate'' amount of time on your userspace. I'd append "in my opinion", but this has gotten beyond opinion, clearly. According to [[HRWiki:User space]] the purpose of the userspace is "to facilitate communication among participants in the project" but with 2 of the last 100 edits (and similar numbers elsewhere) in the main namespace (the 2 Coach Z edits) this can hardly be called "participation".

::::I'm "being bold" here; I'm not a sysop and therefore can't make you do anything. I really, really hope to convince you, however, to spend less time on your userspace and more in the main namespace. Are you here to make a cool userpage, or to help build a wiki of many, many pages? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:48, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Currently you have all of these subpages to your user space:
#[[User:X-Spider2/Header]] - doesn't work in any skin except Monobook, in TaviStyle it hides the title and the logo, and in Cologne Blue it hides several important links in the top right. And it's a CSS hack, and only serves to confuse people who expect to see the page title there.
#[[User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2]] - Your sig. No problems there.
#[[User:X-Spider2/alternuser]] - Doesn't seem to be used anywhere, and would be rather pointless if it was.
#[[User:X-Spider2/helscome]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/monobook.css]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/monobook.js]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/nav]] - I don't see the need for this. Once again, it only works in Monobook - in TaviStyle or Cologne Blue it is completely invisible (above the top of the page). It leeches the images off Wikipedia, and while I can't find anything in their policies about hotlinking, it is bad form to do so, and you should assume unless told otherwise that it isn't allowed. That is unless you have permission from the Wikipedia admins to use those images here, with their bandwidth. It doesn't link to anything I can't either access quickly with the links already avaliable (Your user page, talk page, contribs, email link) or won't want to access regularly enough to warrant a special link (your sig, custom CSS/JS, userbox tower). Finally (and minorly), the icon you have for JavaScript is actually a [[Wikipedia:Java (Sun)|Java]] icon, which has nothing to do with [[Wikipedia:JavaScript|JavaScript]].
#[[User:X-Spider2/rando]] - Unused and pointless.
#[[User:X-Spider2/rando/links]] - Unneccessary use of #rand, why would you ever need a link to a random page in your user space? Clearly rarely, as it is unused (other than in /rando, which is unused)
#[[User:X-Spider2/talkarchive1]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/talkarchive2]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower]] - this is split into many sub-pages - why?
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower babel]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower hrw]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower top]] - this one in particular baffles me - if you have so many userboxes that your ''tower'' needs a ''TOC''... maybe you're overdoing it?
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower wp]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/welcome]] - A redirect to /helscome - still there only because it is being included on user pages... Speaking of which, why included? Why not subst:ed? A new user clicking "Edit" and seeing a template is likely to either be confused if they don't understand the templates (and wonder where the message is coming from) or feel less welcomed... there's just something impersonal about rubber-stamping a template on a user space.
Counting your user page and your talk page, that's 19 pages in your user space. That could easily be cut down to 9: user page, talk, 2 archives, custom CSS/JS, sig, welcome and tower. The policies for [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|user-space subpages]] say in particular to "not use component (nested) pages for content that could just as easily go on your main page." We haven't been enforcing this on userbox towers, mostly because we're not certain as to whether they are in general a "good idea" or not - they do get a lot of code off of the main user page, which can be useful. That doesn't, however, give you free reign to make lots of unneccessary pages (like /nav, /Header, /table_*...) which are simple, and could easily be put directly on your user page. You've been doing a ''lot'' of userpage edits, as has been pointed out by others... and the content of many of your edits show that you clearly understand how it all works. Why not leave your user space alone for a while, and focus that energy and knowledge on something else, and try make the wiki a better place? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

:Fine, when I've sorted out my space properly, you can delete the unnecessary ones. —{{User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2}} 23:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

::The unnecessary ones can now be deleted. --{{User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2}} 05:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Could ya maybe put <nowiki>{{delete|Unneeded subpage}}</nowiki> or something similar on them, so we know which ones to delete (and which ones not to)? It's very helpful... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Link advice ==
I've noticed you gave some advice to two people (one is Homsarroks) about linking. Actually, all you really have type <tt><nowiki><div class= "plainlinks"></nowiki></tt> to remove the box. But what I don't understand is why you even felt like giving the advice. See, it reminds me of Christmas when I was younger, because we were making Christmas cookies, and I loved doing it so much that all I did was give nonstop, almost ''forceful'' advice on how my brother's cookies should like. You're not being forceful in this situation, but I can tell you can relate to that. Why bother give the advice? It's their userpage, and I would think they would know. If they don't, well, still, why bother? I did read the above section, so I realize you have some userpage-itis (XD). If you really want to edit userpage stuff, then you can, but keep it to your own. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 14:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

::HomsarQuotes was built before that was available, actually. But you're missing the point. The point is to get ''out'' of your user space. This isn't a webhosting service. Besides that, nobody is ever going pay attention to anyone else's user page to the extent that you're putting effort into yours, so all the time you're pumping into it could be spent making the rest of the wiki better, never mind the fact that pages on this wiki should ideally be designed to look good (or at least passable) on any browser using any resolution. <s>I don't know many who use a resolution as large as your recommendation, and not for lack of trying.</s> — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

::::I agree - you cannot know what combination of font size, screen resolution and other factors the user's browser is set to use, so designing for a specific size, as if you were doing a graphic layout on a piece of paper, has long been viewed by web authors as "A Dumb Thing To Do." Incidentally, I run the resolution you are requesting, and the page looks like a cluttered mess. (And, btw, my browser of choice, Opera, cannot be used to post to your talk because my entire computer froze twice trying to. Firefox seems to work so far, but I'm saving a lot just in case.)

::::But there's another point of "abuse of the system" I'd like to broach with you. I counted your user space edits in the last 100 edits and came up with 87. I looked at random other 100-edit spans and came up with similar results. Long story short - you are spending an ''inordinate'' amount of time on your userspace. I'd append "in my opinion", but this has gotten beyond opinion, clearly. According to [[HRWiki:User space]] the purpose of the userspace is "to facilitate communication among participants in the project" but with 2 of the last 100 edits (and similar numbers elsewhere) in the main namespace (the 2 Coach Z edits) this can hardly be called "participation".

::::I'm "being bold" here; I'm not a sysop and therefore can't make you do anything. I really, really hope to convince you, however, to spend less time on your userspace and more in the main namespace. Are you here to make a cool userpage, or to help build a wiki of many, many pages? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:48, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Currently you have all of these subpages to your user space:
#[[User:X-Spider2/Header]] - doesn't work in any skin except Monobook, in TaviStyle it hides the title and the logo, and in Cologne Blue it hides several important links in the top right. And it's a CSS hack, and only serves to confuse people who expect to see the page title there.
#[[User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2]] - Your sig. No problems there.
#[[User:X-Spider2/alternuser]] - Doesn't seem to be used anywhere, and would be rather pointless if it was.
#[[User:X-Spider2/helscome]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/monobook.css]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/monobook.js]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/nav]] - I don't see the need for this. Once again, it only works in Monobook - in TaviStyle or Cologne Blue it is completely invisible (above the top of the page). It leeches the images off Wikipedia, and while I can't find anything in their policies about hotlinking, it is bad form to do so, and you should assume unless told otherwise that it isn't allowed. That is unless you have permission from the Wikipedia admins to use those images here, with their bandwidth. It doesn't link to anything I can't either access quickly with the links already avaliable (Your user page, talk page, contribs, email link) or won't want to access regularly enough to warrant a special link (your sig, custom CSS/JS, userbox tower). Finally (and minorly), the icon you have for JavaScript is actually a [[Wikipedia:Java (Sun)|Java]] icon, which has nothing to do with [[Wikipedia:JavaScript|JavaScript]].
#[[User:X-Spider2/rando]] - Unused and pointless.
#[[User:X-Spider2/rando/links]] - Unneccessary use of #rand, why would you ever need a link to a random page in your user space? Clearly rarely, as it is unused (other than in /rando, which is unused)
#[[User:X-Spider2/talkarchive1]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/talkarchive2]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower]] - this is split into many sub-pages - why?
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower babel]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower hrw]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower top]] - this one in particular baffles me - if you have so many userboxes that your ''tower'' needs a ''TOC''... maybe you're overdoing it?
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower wp]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/welcome]] - A redirect to /helscome - still there only because it is being included on user pages... Speaking of which, why included? Why not subst:ed? A new user clicking "Edit" and seeing a template is likely to either be confused if they don't understand the templates (and wonder where the message is coming from) or feel less welcomed... there's just something impersonal about rubber-stamping a template on a user space.
Counting your user page and your talk page, that's 19 pages in your user space. That could easily be cut down to 9: user page, talk, 2 archives, custom CSS/JS, sig, welcome and tower. The policies for [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|user-space subpages]] say in particular to "not use component (nested) pages for content that could just as easily go on your main page." We haven't been enforcing this on userbox towers, mostly because we're not certain as to whether they are in general a "good idea" or not - they do get a lot of code off of the main user page, which can be useful. That doesn't, however, give you free reign to make lots of unneccessary pages (like /nav, /Header, /table_*...) which are simple, and could easily be put directly on your user page. You've been doing a ''lot'' of userpage edits, as has been pointed out by others... and the content of many of your edits show that you clearly understand how it all works. Why not leave your user space alone for a while, and focus that energy and knowledge on something else, and try make the wiki a better place? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

:Fine, when I've sorted out my space properly, you can delete the unnecessary ones. —{{User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2}} 23:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

== Link advice ==
I've noticed you gave some advice to two people (one is Homsarroks) about linking. Actually, all you really have type <tt><nowiki><div class= "plainlinks"></nowiki></tt> to remove the box. But what I don't understand is why you even felt like giving the advice. See, it reminds me of Christmas when I was younger, because we were making Christmas cookies, and I loved doing it so much that all I did was give nonstop, almost ''forceful'' advice on how my brother's cookies should like. You're not being forceful in this situation, but I can tell you can relate to that. Why bother give the advice? It's their userpage, and I would think they would know. If they don't, well, still, why bother? I did read the above section, so I realize you have some userpage-itis (XD). If you really want to edit userpage stuff, then you can, but keep it to your own. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 14:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Why on Earth was there a problem with the uploading of the images from my Wikipedia userpage?
[[User:Booksworm|Booksworm]] 13:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:The problem is that every user is only allowed 2 personal images (plus a small one for their sig). That was about eight images, six more than is allowed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Abusing the system ==

Hello again, x-Spider2. First of all: It is highly discouraged to have internal redirects on your user space. Second of all: Did you know that some of the 1.6 features like rando were disabled on Wikipedia because of user abuse? That option was designed to better articles, not desplaying random messeges on your user page. Other users have previously contacted you concerning Recent Changes flooding, showing page previews, user page editing and image uploading, and now this. '''Your user page is long and complicated enough as it is'''. While you still confirm to [[HRWiki:User space|the guidelines]], you are very close to breaking them. Please review your actions and read closely to what other advise you. As I told you before - Your knowledge of HTML and wiki-syntax can be valuable to the wiki ''if you will only use it on main space articles''. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

:Sorry about the subpage, but it just seems a waste to only be using the random syntax for [[Template:Homsar Quote]]. --{{User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2}} 05:13, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

::HomsarQuotes was built before that was available, actually. But you're missing the point. The point is to get ''out'' of your user space. This isn't a webhosting service. Besides that, nobody is ever going pay attention to anyone else's user page to the extent that you're putting effort into yours, so all the time you're pumping into it could be spent making the rest of the wiki better, never mind the fact that pages on this wiki should ideally be designed to look good (or at least passable) on any browser using any resolution. <s>I don't know many who use a resolution as large as your recommendation, and not for lack of trying.</s> — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I originally misread the numbers on the recommended resolution. Still, it's considered poor form to design to a particular browser and screen size. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

::::I agree - you cannot know what combination of font size, screen resolution and other factors the user's browser is set to use, so designing for a specific size, as if you were doing a graphic layout on a piece of paper, has long been viewed by web authors as "A Dumb Thing To Do." Incidentally, I run the resolution you are requesting, and the page looks like a cluttered mess. (And, btw, my browser of choice, Opera, cannot be used to post to your talk because my entire computer froze twice trying to. Firefox seems to work so far, but I'm saving a lot just in case.)

::::But there's another point of "abuse of the system" I'd like to broach with you. I counted your user space edits in the last 100 edits and came up with 87. I looked at random other 100-edit spans and came up with similar results. Long story short - you are spending an ''inordinate'' amount of time on your userspace. I'd append "in my opinion", but this has gotten beyond opinion, clearly. According to [[HRWiki:User space]] the purpose of the userspace is "to facilitate communication among participants in the project" but with 2 of the last 100 edits (and similar numbers elsewhere) in the main namespace (the 2 Coach Z edits) this can hardly be called "participation".

::::I'm "being bold" here; I'm not a sysop and therefore can't make you do anything. I really, really hope to convince you, however, to spend less time on your userspace and more in the main namespace. Are you here to make a cool userpage, or to help build a wiki of many, many pages? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:48, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Currently you have all of these subpages to your user space:
#[[User:X-Spider2/Header]] - doesn't work in any skin except Monobook, in TaviStyle it hides the title and the logo, and in Cologne Blue it hides several important links in the top right. And it's a CSS hack, and only serves to confuse people who expect to see the page title there.
#[[User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2]] - Your sig. No problems there.
#[[User:X-Spider2/alternuser]] - Doesn't seem to be used anywhere, and would be rather pointless if it was.
#[[User:X-Spider2/helscome]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/monobook.css]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/monobook.js]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/nav]] - I don't see the need for this. Once again, it only works in Monobook - in TaviStyle or Cologne Blue it is completely invisible (above the top of the page). It leeches the images off Wikipedia, and while I can't find anything in their policies about hotlinking, it is bad form to do so, and you should assume unless told otherwise that it isn't allowed. That is unless you have permission from the Wikipedia admins to use those images here, with their bandwidth. It doesn't link to anything I can't either access quickly with the links already avaliable (Your user page, talk page, contribs, email link) or won't want to access regularly enough to warrant a special link (your sig, custom CSS/JS, userbox tower). Finally (and minorly), the icon you have for JavaScript is actually a [[Wikipedia:Java (Sun)|Java]] icon, which has nothing to do with [[Wikipedia:JavaScript|JavaScript]].
#[[User:X-Spider2/rando]] - Unused and pointless.
#[[User:X-Spider2/rando/links]] - Unneccessary use of #rand, why would you ever need a link to a random page in your user space? Clearly rarely, as it is unused (other than in /rando, which is unused)
#[[User:X-Spider2/talkarchive1]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/talkarchive2]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower]] - this is split into many sub-pages - why?
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower babel]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower hrw]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower top]] - this one in particular baffles me - if you have so many userboxes that your ''tower'' needs a ''TOC''... maybe you're overdoing it?
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower wp]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/welcome]] - A redirect to /helscome - still there only because it is being included on user pages... Speaking of which, why included? Why not subst:ed? A new user clicking "Edit" and seeing a template is likely to either be confused if they don't understand the templates (and wonder where the message is coming from) or feel less welcomed... there's just something impersonal about rubber-stamping a template on a user space.

Are you here to make a cool userpage, or to help build a wiki of many, many pages? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:48, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Currently you have all of these subpages to your user space:
#[[User:X-Spider2/Header]] - doesn't work in any skin except Monobook, in TaviStyle it hides the title and the logo, and in Cologne Blue it hides several important links in the top right. And it's a CSS hack, and only serves to confuse people who expect to see the page title there.
#[[User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2]] - Your sig. No problems there.
#[[User:X-Spider2/alternuser]] - Doesn't seem to be used anywhere, and would be rather pointless if it was.
#[[User:X-Spider2/helscome]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/monobook.css]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/monobook.js]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/nav]] - I don't see the need for this. Once again, it only works in Monobook - in TaviStyle or Cologne Blue it is completely invisible (above the top of the page). It leeches the images off Wikipedia, and while I can't find anything in their policies about hotlinking, it is bad form to do so, and you should assume unless told otherwise that it isn't allowed. That is unless you have permission from the Wikipedia admins to use those images here, with their bandwidth. It doesn't link to anything I can't either access quickly with the links already avaliable (Your user page, talk page, contribs, email link) or won't want to access regularly enough to warrant a special link (your sig, custom CSS/JS, userbox tower). Finally (and minorly), the icon you have for JavaScript is actually a [[Wikipedia:Java (Sun)|Java]] icon, which has nothing to do with [[Wikipedia:JavaScript|JavaScript]].
#[[User:X-Spider2/rando]] - Unused and pointless.
#[[User:X-Spider2/rando/links]] - Unneccessary use of #rand, why would you ever need a link to a random page in your user space? Clearly rarely, as it is unused (other than in /rando, which is unused)
#[[User:X-Spider2/talkarchive1]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/talkarchive2]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower]] - this is split into many sub-pages - why?
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower babel]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower hrw]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower top]] - this one in particular baffles me - if you have so many userboxes that your ''tower'' needs a ''TOC''... maybe you're overdoing it?
#[[User:X-Spider2/tower wp]]
#[[User:X-Spider2/welcome]] - A redirect to /helscome - still there only because it is being included on user pages... Speaking of which, why included? Why not subst:ed? A new user clicking "Edit" and seeing a template is likely to either be confused if they don't understand the templates (and wonder where the message is coming from) or feel less welcomed... there's just something impersonal about rubber-stamping a template on a user space.
Counting your user page and your talk page, that's 19 pages in your user space. That could easily be cut down to 9: user page, talk, 2 archives, custom CSS/JS, sig, welcome and tower. The policies for [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|user-space subpages]] say in particular to "not use component (nested) pages for content that could just as easily go on your main page." We haven't been enforcing this on userbox towers, mostly because we're not certain as to whether they are in general a "good idea" or not - they do get a lot of code off of the main user page, which can be useful. That doesn't, however, give you free reign to make lots of unneccessary pages (like /nav, /Header, /table_*...) which are simple, and could easily be put directly on your user page. You've been doing a ''lot'' of userpage edits, as has been pointed out by others... and the content of many of your edits show that you clearly understand how it all works. Why not leave your user space alone for a while, and focus that energy and knowledge on something else, and try make the wiki a better place? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

== Link advice ==
I've noticed you gave some advice to two people (one is Homsarroks) about linking. Actually, all you really have type <tt><nowiki><div class= "plainlinks"></nowiki></tt> to remove the box. But what I don't understand is why you even felt like giving the advice. See, it reminds me of Christmas when I was younger, because we were making Christmas cookies, and I loved doing it so much that all I did was give nonstop, almost ''forceful'' advice on how my brother's cookies should like. You're not being forceful in this situation, but I can tell you can relate to that. Why bother give the advice? It's their userpage, and I would think they would know. If they don't, well, still, why bother? I did read the above section, so I realize you have some userpage-itis (XD). If you really want to edit userpage stuff, then you can, but keep it to your own. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 14:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Why on Earth was there a problem with the uploading of the images from my Wikipedia userpage?

:The problem is that every user is only allowed 2 personal images (plus a small one for their sig). That was about eight images, six more than is allowed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Abusing the system ==

Hello again, x-Spider2. First of all: It is highly discouraged to have internal redirects on your user space. Second of all: Did you know that some of the 1.6 features like rando were disabled on Wikipedia because of user abuse? That option was designed to better articles, not desplaying random messeges on your user page. Other users have previously contacted you concerning Recent Changes flooding, showing page previews, user page editing and image uploading, and now this. '''Your user page is long and complicated enough as it is'''. While you still confirm to [[HRWiki:User space|the guidelines]], you are very close to breaking them. Please review your actions and read closely to what other advise you. As I told you before - Your knowledge of HTML and wiki-syntax can be valuable to the wiki ''if you will only use it on main space articles''. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

:Sorry about the subpage, but it just seems a waste to only be using the random syntax for [[Template:Homsar Quote]]. --{{User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2}} 05:13, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

::HomsarQuotes was built before that was available, actually. But you're missing the point. The point is to get ''out'' of your user space. This isn't a webhosting service. Besides that, nobody is ever going pay attention to anyone else's user page to the extent that you're putting effort into yours, so all the time you're pumping into it could be spent making the rest of the wiki better, never mind the fact that pages on this wiki should ideally be designed to look good (or at least passable) on any browser using any resolution. <s>I don't know many who use a resolution as large as your recommendation, and not for lack of trying.</s> — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I originally misread the numbers on the recommended resolution. Still, it's considered poor form to design to a particular browser and screen size. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

::::I agree - you cannot know what combination of font size, screen resolution and other factors the user's browser is set to use, so designing for a specific size, as if you were doing a graphic layout on a piece of paper, has long been viewed by web authors as "A Dumb Thing To Do." Incidentally, I run the resolution you are requesting, and the page looks like a cluttered mess. (And, btw, my browser of choice, Opera, cannot be used to post to your talk because my entire computer froze twice trying to. Firefox seems to work so far, but I'm saving a lot just in case.)

::::But there's another point of "abuse of the system" I'd like to broach with you. I counted your user space edits in the last 100 edits and came up with 87. I looked at random other 100-edit spans and came up with similar results. Long story short - you are spending an ''inordinate'' amount of time on your userspace. I'd append "in my opinion", but this has gotten beyond opinion, clearly. According to [[HRWiki:User space]] the purpose of the userspace is "to facilitate communication among participants in the project" but with 2 of the last 100 edits (and similar numbers elsewhere) in the main namespace (the 2 Coach Z edits) this can hardly be called "participation".

My younger sister (Carolyn) discovered he [[Homestar_Runner_(Flash_cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] website in 2003, and she was the first one in my family to find it. Then, I liked that site so much that I wanted to go on it, too. I even know all the main characters: [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The King of Town]], [[Strong Mad]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Coach Z]], [[Bubs]], and the surreal [[Homsar]]. I know many other characters, too.

Speaking of [[Senor Cardgage]], I had no idea who he was when the e-mail "[[kind of cool]]" debuted. Then, when I saw the later short "[[Senor Mortgage]]", I realized that he was the guy Strong Bad described in "kind of cool". Strong Sad clearly says, "Uh, excardon me, but none of that stuff is cool, Strong Bad. You basically described that creep Señor Cardgage that lived down the street from us when we were little." I didn't quite get that, though. I finally did get it after watching the short. No one really listens to Strong Sad anyway, and previously, that character was described as ''Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad''.

Anyway, my favorite character is Strong Bad. Senor Cardgage is cool, too (creepy, but cool). I think my favorite email is "[[personal favorites]]", and my favorite Easter egg would be the [[Grape-Nuts Robot]].

You're my least favorite admin ever.
:Well, <s>''Bubsty''</s> (I was close. See below), one of the things you learn as an admin is that you can't please everybody all the time. I am, however, open to constructive criticism, so I'm a little disappointed that you didn't give me any more to go on than that one line. Or that you didn't at least sign your name. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
::What? Did Bubsty write that? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 20:37, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Indeed. ''EDIT: Actually, his sister said that it was she who wrote the comment.'' — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::::Or perhaps somebody from his computer or something. He did [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Da_Basement&diff=prev&oldid=241561 refer to Bubsty in the third person]... {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

::::::Yes, he did, but I unblocked the IP, since the edit wasn't trolling or vandalism. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::I see. And in response to Thunderbird's comment: I don't know that third person is really evidence it wasn't he; he could have been covering his tracks. What ''does'' baffle me, however, is that that IP wrote false information about Bubsty's guestbook being gone, when in fact Bubsty himself removed the deletion tag from his guestbook, something one would think Bubsty would know. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:14, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

::::::::::First off, I '''''DID NOT''''' write that comment above. I recently showed Sarah the comment you left on my user talk page a while ago telling me to stop using the list of users list to welcome people. Although I really didn't care that much about what you had written, she seemed to think of it as rude and insulting. I assume that comment was her "blowing off steam".
::::::::::It seems Dot Com thinks Thekillerdynamo is me. If you still have any questions about this whole thing, ''please'' tell me. I'll try to explain it.
::::::::::Finally, I'm really sorry (not to mentioned embarrased), that this whole thing happened. I'll '''try''' to have something like this ''never'' happen again. (Depends if a certain family member agrees).

You do a lot on this wiki, but you're mean to the young people here. 10, 11, 12, and 13 year olds shouldn't have to act like a 28-year-old!
Can't you just be a ''bit'' nicer? I think more people would like you then.
Please; I'm not trolling - although I did blank your talk page. But that was so you would see this easier.
If you revert it (which I'm sure you will) can you at least think about being ''nicer''?
Once again, sorry for messing up your talk page. Just please read. Thanks! [[User:24.18.208.18|24.18.208.18]] 04:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
:PS: I think you're still a good admin. Just show some commen sense. (Of course, I should talk; Look who's about to get themselves blocked!)
:PPS: Oh, and about my first edit on this page; I admit that was me. But that was back when I didn't know what a wiki was and didn't know who you were. You ''aren't'' my least favorite admin ever. In fact, you're one of my favs! If you want to block me for that, go ahead; I deserve it.
::Why don't you log in so we can discuss this. Talking through an IP address isn't the kind of conversation we should be having. I'm not going to block you. If I wanted to block you, I would have blocked your IP a long time ago. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

When you said that thing about user welcoming... something like that. But I'm not mad anymore. [[User:Thekillerdynamo|Thekillerdynamo]] 04:01, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::::: Oh, okay then. Please allow me to speak to your points: Occasionally messages must be posted that are stern because it's urgent that the message be understood. (In the case of the message I sent your brother, it was because of the fact that edit summaries can't be changed, and so we have to be careful what we put in them.) I do try, however, never to be insulting, and as I said way back when, I do apologize if he took it that way. Also, I have nothing against young users, and I will happily give assistance to anyone who needs it (just have a look around this talk page). It should be noted that several of our exceptional users, including a sysop, are quite young, relatively speaking. Even though actual age doesn't matter, I don't see anything wrong with expecting a certain level of maturity from our users, once they've had a chance to get the hang of things. The wiki, after all, is not a toy. I think BazookaJoe put it quite well in his message to The thing when he talked about what [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:The_thing&oldid=242251 the purpose] of this wiki is.

Hey it's dot com, what happened to your discussion page? [[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 01:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

:well, he archived it. this means that at the top, you can just go to the links and they will lead you to the headlines. pretty cool, huh?

::Yeah, I just couldn't take all the whining from all you guys anymore. ;) But I figured out a compromise between keeping all the talk on this page and moving it all to an archive, so I went with it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::::::::Both are gone but the main reason I want to be a sysop is so I can help the wiki as much a possible. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 17:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::It's admirable to want to help the wiki. We need as many people—sysops and users alike—who will do that.     Around here, we consider several factors when choosing whom to make sysops, and the most important consideration is trustworthiness. A close second is participation in the project. Rounding out the top six are the ability to deal with other users (especially in mediating disputes or deciding when to step in), technical know-how, the necessity for another position (that is, whether or not the wiki needs more sysops at any given time), and finally seniority. ([[bottom 10|Number seven]] on the top-six list is [[Senor Cardgage|senority]], which is the ability to make bad H*R-related jokes.)     With those things in mind, at this time I would not be comfortable with making you a sysop. Not long ago, you vandalized this wiki and less than a day ago you were blocked from the fanstuff wiki for persistent trolling. I think it will take a while for people to trust you again after that. Additionally, you currently don't meet the [[User_talk:It%27s_dot_com/Let%27s_Get_Started_on_Doing_All_Those_Awesome_Things_I_Suggested#How_to_become_a_sysop|participation requirements]]. That is, you really don't have that many edits in the main or talk namespace nor have you done a big project. I haven't seen how you handle stress or abuse from problematic users and I don't know the status of your technical know-how (again, because I don't have a large sample of edits from which to judge). Last (and this one matters the least to me but is nevertheless important) there's the question of seniority: In other words, even if all else were equal, quite a few deserving people have been here a lot longer than you, and would thus be ahead of you in line whenever we promote the next user(s).     Please don't think I'm trying to be overly discouraging, but your persistence in asking has made me want to be as unambiguous as possible. (By the way, asking for a position of power—no matter where you are (except maybe Wikipedia)—is a sure way to guarantee that the position will ''not'' be handed to you. Just so you know.) I encourage you to read the link above about the requirements and follow its advice. Over time, perhaps a long time, if you make good contributions and keep your nose clean, then you might be more seriously considered. Until then, keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:45, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::::::::::Darn --{{User:The thing/sig}} 19:15, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

To The Thing: Personally, I'd love to be able to do all those things as well, but being given a position of power doesn't come free - [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig|You just gotta ''earn'' it!]] And to It's dot com: I found this whole conversation quite amusing. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

::::One other thing, Thing: as I'm sure any of the sysops can tell you, it might not be as fun as it looks from the other side of the fence. It means a butteload of ''work'', and a commitment to a certain amount of involvement and responsibilities. It's like the Spiderman thing (you know, "With great power...). (Except it ''doesn't'' come with the ability to swing through Manhattan streets in spandex.) Also, about helping the wiki: yeah, deleting pages and blocking folks help, but it's really only a small percentage of the work that improves the wiki: the bulk of it is regular users editting and reviewing each other's edits. In other words, you ''already'' have the power for the single biggest part of wiki-helping that goes on. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::Nevermind I'm a sysop on [http://weirdal.wikicities.com/ My own wiki] now. But it would still be cool to be one. {{User:The thing/sig}} 21:59, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

If I may throw in my own perspective on this, "with great power comes great responsibility." From what I've observed, being a sysop means making a lot of tough judgement calls, speaking nicely to people when you'd rather not, getting blamed for just about anything that goes wrong (real or perceived) and a lot of really hard work. Given all that, I'm not really clear on why someone would want that job so much, but I have nothing but admiration for the people who do it. [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 01:37, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

== i'm back ==
hey, it's dot com. i just got unblocked this morning. i want to say you did the right thing, and that now i will probably be spending less time on the wiki, so when i get blocked the next time it won't suck so bad. ah well. anyway, like i said, you did the completely right thing, and i hope you become an admin for what you did. thanks.

== That image ==

Just so you know, the reason I restored that image for "[[It's like it was meant to be]]" is just because Homestar Coder and Abdi both expressed their support for it and I felt that the person who removed it was acting rather unilaterally.

:::Yeah, I'd say the same about not having a super-strong opinion; I just wanted to see things done fairly. (I try not to be too committed to my own ideas around the wiki.

== What did you do ==
I would just like to make a counterpoint to hating guestbooks, even though the discussion is over. Have you ever thoguht how much sigs should be deleted? You must have, because if you are going to delete guestbooks like you did, the exact same reasons apply to sigs. People working on their sigs clutters up the recent changes, I know because I do it '''all the time'''. Sigs are not contributing to the wiki, just like you insist guestbooks don't. And finally, They give no proof that someone ever read your userpage, something that by the way is something that people either do or don't but that shouldn't matter to anyone else. I just think that What you and the admins did was entirely opinionated. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
:No proof, eh? Well, I guess that someone could read a user page in a matter of seconds and then promptly sign a guestbook. Not all sigs clog recent changes, just yours. Sigs are a means of identifying a user, and thus serve a purpose. I am not meaning to reply for It's dot com, but I just wanted to say this. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 22:58, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
::Also, I bet a lot of sig flooding could be stopped if people just used "Show Preview". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::: Sigs exist anyway; you edit them in your user preferences (which does not show up on Recentchanges). The custom, however, is to create a User/sig template and use ''that'' as your sig. The User/sig versions are used because:
:::# They're easier to edit.
:::# If you edit one, ''all'' of your signatures change. If you edit the sig in your preferences, only ''future'' signatures change.
::: What's more, custom sigs of any sort allow links to your Talk or Contributions page, and make it easier to tell who's who (if you see a light blue sig with a green "Talk" area, it's probably me. If you see a gold-colored sig with symbols on both sides, it's likely Thunderbird. etc.) I'd take that over not being able to tell if I've previously read a user page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:29, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey Dot com, what's up? I have two questions. First, where did you post that discussion where someone was asking how to do links that were not underlined and you tried an example which didn't quite work correctly? (This is indirectly related:) I was wondering if you could take a look at [[User_talk:Invisible_Robot_Fish/Projects|this]] issue. Thanks! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
:See [[#Super-plain_link]]. Note: old how-to questions from my talk page are filed under ''The System Is Down → Technical help''. On your second question, I'm not sure what you're asking. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:16, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
::For the first question, I looked briefly and couldn't find it (actually i scanned the page twice) but couldn't find it. I was scanning too quickly. As for the second issue, it turns out to be a firefox issue :(. Nerd42's sig goes beyond the table borders for some reason. I looked at the sig code and all the tags were closed off. I hope you have a copy of firefox to look at this cuz i'm not gonna provide a screenshot of it right away! ;) I gotta eat! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, often times he makes a remark that identifies him as, in fact, yeltensic. If he didn't do that, then I'll step aside and let dot comster answer this. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 17:22, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I just looked at the blcok log, and I have to admit I am confused. He must have matched the IP addresses. Also, there are two new users that are created. How do we know they're not yeltensic? {{User:Seriously/sig}}

::::I agree with The thing on this one. Even though he might look like NSMC at first glance, take a look at the article on Uncyclopedia [http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/HRWIKI about our wiki]. At the near bottom, it says "If you happen to be new, register with the username: 18593095NSMC90531234 - Trust me, it'll be fun." This is the ''exact same username''. It seems to me that this guy just didn't know anything about NSMC or this wiki and got Punk'd. He wasn't doing anything bad (yet), so why block him because of "trolling"?

== Babel ==

I understand why you think that the [[HRWiki:Babel|Babel]] towers will be better with the source code rather than the templates, but I really think that templates will make it a lot easier to use and more user friendly. I understand that there would be a lot, but noinclude tags could be used to keep track of them. Source code is fine, but do you think that I could at least try with Templates, and if it gets too confusing switch back to source code? -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 00:23, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
:I think we should try with the source code first. It's not too hard to get the hang of. (Besides, it's just copy and paste for most people. ;) ) I don't have a problem with a generic template, but we don't need to create a whole slew of them for a non-mainspace thing such as this. Plus, this way, people won't be limited by just the ones in the templates (although we do ask that they be Homestar Runner (or wiki) related). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:31, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Umm... are you sure that IP you blocked recently is the right guy? Because I checked his contribs and he hasn't done anything vaguely trollish.

== Admin sigs ==
Why do none of the admins excepy JoeyDay have customized their sigs? I'm thinking maybe you guys are too busy to do that stuff. Just wondering if you knew. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:47, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:Well, that's not quite true, unless you have a very narrow definition of admin. If by admin you mean someone on the [[Template:adminteam|Admin Team]], then [[User:Stu|Stu]] definitely has a [[User:Stu/sig|signature]]. If you mean people who are on the Admin Team and are currently active in the day-to-day maintenance of the site, then you're right, only Joey has really customized his signature. Of the six of us, however, only [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] has no customization to speak of. [[User:Tom|Tom]], [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]], and I all have subtle modifications from the standard. If, on the other hand, when you say admins you mean sysops, then there is quite a bit of customization. [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] and [[User:FireBird|FireBird]] have had special sigs for as long as I can remember, as have [[User:Jay|Jay]], [[User:Homestar Coder|Homestar Coder]], [[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]], and [[User:The Paper|The Paper]]. [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]'s modification is a slight tweak, and [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] and [[User:Furrykef|Furrykef]] haven't been here in a while. Even [[User:GrapeNuts|GrapeNuts]] (a bot) has a [[User:GrapeNuts/sig|sig]]. As for the heart of your question: Why do Tom, [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]], and I have more or less "plain" signatures? Well, Tom's is like that because he's ornery about such things. BazookaJoe's and mine are like that because it just looks right. Since everyone else goes to such great lengths to customize their signatures, ''not'' doing so becomes a customization in itself. — [[User:It's dot com|''It's dot com'']] 23:30, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Cool font. I meant the admin team, without the sysops, By the way. Stu, well I've never actually seen him make an edit. Although I did hear that he was joey's friend. I just think that if you have a sig, you should make it have more convenience, like having a link to your talk page. Thnaks for the answer. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:35, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

:And Dot com has toyed with his signature in the past [[User talk:Thunderbird L17/Archive 8#Towards a more standards-compliant signature|once or twice]], a long while back. That special sig you just made looks pretty cool, if you ever did decide to change it for good. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:35, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
::GrapeNuts has a sig? Dot com customizing his!? What is the world coming to!? ''This message is {{User:GrapeNuts/sig}} approved (not really, I just wanted an excuse to use his sig :).'' --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:04, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::Tom has a nonbreaking space in front of his (and used to have an empty link). I have an em dash. Interruptor Jones has both of those and uses small tags. Dr Haggis's real username is Drhaggis. All of us put the modifications directly in the preferences box, instead of using a sig template. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:59, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

:I can't realy think of many people who do translations. Even then, the translations themselves are direct quotes and the replies are occurring on the talk pages. The reason I had a problem with your activity is because not only were you inviting people to edit your user page, you were asking them to ''create new H*R-related content'' based on the toons, which is the very definition of fanstuff. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:38, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Why isn't what he did bad to you? Before you say no, let me explain. First of all, he embarassed me ''and'' The thing on his talk page '''on purpose''', second of all, he said apology's to dot com, which means he knew this would have a certain outcome to certain people like me, you (which for some reason you find fine), and the thing. This is a perfect example of premeditated malice.

The thing has recently vandalized a wiki. Check Benol's talk page for info. I suggest you block him, as per your rule posted on the main page. Thanks. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 16:53, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::Look, you guys. I'm pretty sure all this trolling went on before Dot com posted that message on the Main Page talk. Besides, he's now trying ''extremely'' hard to clean up the mess he's made, so he obviously knows what he did is wrong. Therefore, will a block ''really'' do anything to help this situation?

:::::::::::::I wasn't party to this at all, so I don't really know what happened in this particular case. But I will say this: I said once before that I thought the ops here were being too lenient on The Thing, as he's had a history of vandalism and trolling in the past, and everyone seems to be very quick to defend him. (Lots of "I'm sorry's" and "I won't do it again!'s".) I don't deny he's also made good edits here, but I have not seen discipline executed equally to him as has been to others who've done similar things, or less. That's kinda frustrating to see. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

You all need to complain to your teachers for not teaching you how to read. While you're at it, Seriously and The thing, go ahead and post a mailing address where I can send a bill to your parents for babysitting you. On the main page talk, I said that anyone caught vandalizing in our name would be dealt with. I have neither the time nor the resources to try and police other wikis. The message regarding other wikis means that if you vandalize Uncyclopedia, for example, ''in retaliation'' for something that happens here, then at that point you are speaking for ''all'' of us here, and I care very much that you don't do that. But random vandalism doesn't concern me. To The thing: I can't believe that you think vandalism is funny, especially given that you're an administrator at a wiki. To Seriously: you need to learn what is and what isn't important, and stop being such a tattletale. And stop speaking for me. In one place you say "No matter what, you must get blocked." You have neither the authority nor the experience to be making claims like that. To KieferSkunk: The thing didn't actually do anything (in this case) to harm our wiki or its good name, and therefore there are no grounds for blocking him. (And he ''has'' been blocked recently by BazookaJoe for spamming.) To anyone who needs to hear this: Stop vandalizing. Stop behaving so immaturely (and don't blame your actions on your age; I know several young good contributors). Wiki usage is not a right; it's a privilege. And for goodness' sake, stop apologizing. You've said you're sorry so much that the words have no meaning. Let your future actions be your apology. That's all for now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:38, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
:In reply to your comment to me: I understand, and I'm not asking for him to be blocked in this case. I was making a more general comment about The Thing's history, seeing as how I have witnessed vandalism from him in the past and saw people, even sysops, defending him and going way out of their way to reason with him, rather than treating him as a vandal. I didn't understand it at the time, and I still don't, so I left my comments on the matter at "I think you're being too lenient with him". This was mainly just a follow-up on that, more to mention that I'm not surprised another "incident" has come up than anything else. That's all. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I've answered your talk page questions for you with crappy answers. Again, jsut trying to help. These things don't mean you have to insult me like that. Y'know, I've really never done anything bad to you on purpose. I always had great respect for you, and I've never purposely insulted you like you just did. You need to learn how a simple misinterpretation of a comment on the main page talk should'nt be an excuse for acting like that. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

::::To Seriously: As one who has been an admin several times in other places, one thing I can say with certainty is that many admins feel very put off and are easily annoyed by non-admins (and especially relatively new people) trying to speak for them. Dictating policy to other users on behalf of the admins is usually a no-no unless you are an admin or are trusted by the admins to do so. (Obviously, I can't speak for It's dot com, but if I were in his place dealing with this crap, that's how I'd feel.) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:17, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

::::::Okay. Here it goes, time for me to swallow my pride:

Look, Dot com, I just don't want to be treated like a baby. In my opinion, I think being a tattletale is the wrong was to think about it, I prefer "fighting trolls, and trying to help you with your rule". Yes, I was disrespectful to you. I just needed to prove my point and express my anger at you. Also, I know you are an admin. Maybe I ''was'' a bit overboard with you; that doesn't mean what I said was entirely wrong. I mean, I apologize, but it's not like I'll kiss your ring and beg for forgiveness. I've got to be a bit more defiant than that to ever prove my point. Just remember: I've always, ''always'' tried to help you, and I just found your comment a bit mean. Just forgive me, please, and let this whole thing disappear. Thanks a lot. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:11, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

:Seriously, have you been reading this thread and understanding it? It's dot com has stated just 8 posts up: "And for goodness' sake, stop apologizing." You are still relatively new to this wiki, and your experience has been limited to editing User and User talk pages. You said yourself you give "crappy answers" to questions that don't concern you. When I first joined, I watched conversations like this unfold and saw how responsible admins reacted. I didn't try to solve everybody's problems; I knew I didn't have the knowledge. Just keep to yourself for a while and maybe see what it's like to make some main namespace contrubutions. (That is the idea of a wiki, you know.) {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 00:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm still at the conference, it was really great. IRC doesn't work on the terminals, but suffice it to say, I was here, got autographs, (not many questions) and it was really great. I'll try and get a writeup on Wednesday evening. --TBird

::Thunderbird is not at home, so the IP address would be different. It could still be him, but I would like him to log in if possible.

:::Too late. His IP's been blocked. He'll log in when he needs to, but I have one question: If he was TBird, why did he sign TBird instead of his IP (accidentally typed <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> without knowing he wasn't logged in) or with his sig (or siggie, I guess)? It doesn't seem right. I mean, if he can edit annonymously, he can edit logged on, and I think the first thing he'll ask if he can't log in is why he can't. Plus, he would know that an IP editing as a user would most likely be reverted. We could unblock the IP and see if TBird can log on now, I guess. Wouldn't hurt, but I still think it wasn't him. I dunno. Oh, also, if it was him, sorry, just don't want anybody impersonating you. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 03:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
::::We didn't block the IP. There are several reasons why he might not have been able to log in (if the computer he was using didn't accept cookies, for example).

== Blocking durations ==

As a senior sysop and an admin here, if we are being trolled by someone, for how long he or she should be blocked. I know that known trolls like NSMC, Dr. Who and others are blocked forever, but what about small calibar trolls? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
:It's pretty much a judgment call in almost all cases. For IP addresses, 1 to 3 days, depending on the severity of the vandalism. For ''really'' bad stuff, a week or so. If a vandal is obviously changing IPs within a narrow range, blocking the range X.X.X.0/24 (or 23) usually works. Users who make useful contributions should be reasoned with first if possible, not blocked. Accounts created for no purpose other than to vandalize should be blocked infinitely. Hope that helps! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:13, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
::Thank you very much. It sure will help! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

== New sysops ==

Was there a sysop nomination? If so, I'm surprised that Lapper wasn't one. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:34, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
:''Anyone'' who had made any edit since around the beginning of February was considered. Of the ones we took, they were each chosen not only because they are deserving but also to fill certain niches. As we say, we will add new sysops as our circumstances warrant, and this time circumstances warranted the number and specific users that we took. I can name a half dozen other users who will someday make excellent sysops, and anyone who was not chosen this time should ''not'' read into it negatively in any way. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
::When I posted the above, I couldn't say what I can say now: We were still considering some people, and some people simply don't check their email often enough! (Or they don't make their primary email available to the wiki, which is pretty much the same thing.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:24, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey, It's dot com, I see you having a lot of new sysops. Does that mean there won't be any new sysops for a while? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 05:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
:Yes, I believe the seven new sysops that we have just inducted are it for a while. We've always got our eyes open, though. Remember also that ''all'' users can be important users. I did some of my best stuff (including STUFF) before I was promoted. (It's kinda funny too... what a lot of people don't realize is that sysop = more headaches.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

::Gotcha, thanks. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:19, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

== User groups ==
I have a question: I know what a sysop does, and I know what a beaurucrat does, but what do you get to do as a developer that nobody else can? I'm just wondering what it means it have the promotion. Thanks. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
:For those of you following along at home, I was technically made a bureaucrat and a developer on the same day. The only reason I wasn't added to the developer group in the wiki software is because there's a subtle difference between being a developer and being in the developer group. At the time I was made a developer, the wiki developer group was inactive. Since then, we reenabled it, and when we did, I was put in the group, even though for practical purposes I was already in it. Make sense? Okay, now that we have that out of the way: Bureaucrats can assign and unassign users to groups (usually to make sysops), and can also rename users. People in the developer group can lock and unlock the database. That originally was the only function available, but since then I have extended it somewhat using my developer abilities. And here's the distinction: a developer has direct access to the server and database. They can see server logs, view raw database data, and modify system software (to improve upon it). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
::And is there anything special about Joey Day's "proprietor" group? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::No, it was created for purely narcissistic purposes (Joey's words, not mine). -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:42, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

:::: This is true. 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)

== Dr. Who Never Strikes Again ==

Ok. I've got to admit, somewhat grudgingly, that you caught me earlier. I AM in fact Dr. Who. But I really wasn't planning on using this account for vandalism. Yesterday after I attacked the fanstuff wiki I saw that I had hurt someone's feelings and I felt terrible when it put a personal face on what I'd done. I'm ready and willing to talk to you about why and how I did all of that trolling if you just give me this chance. Of course, I would understand if you banned me right away, but I'm asking you to give it a try. Sincerely, [[User:Taco Salad of My Dreams|Taco Salad of My Dreams]]
:I can't speak for all the other sysops, but I won't ban you if you're willing to talk civilly. The whole reason I posted on your talk page was to find out about you and talk to you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:33, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
::Ok then, here goes. I believe the first trolling I ever did was under the name "you smell", where I added that phrase several times to the [[Characters]] page. I decided that it was funny that someone coming to learn would see that (yes, I know, very immature and stupid of me). That was the full extent that I knew of what I was doing. I later learned of the concept of wiki vandalism from Uncyclopedia. I have been using this wiki for years without knowing exactly how maintenance worked; when I did I became jealous of the sysops. I wished to make a name for myself here without doing years of work (rather like WoW, I was trying to gain infamy). My attacks became somewhat meaner as I went on, and I attacked users when I got tired of simply tampering with content. I started thinking of ways to justify it to myself, such as that injustice was being done to me over userboxes, or that my name alone had gotten me banned. I guess I saw it as a way to "break loose" because I am normally NOT a rude or confrontational person. I just stopped for two reasons: I was ashamed of myself, and I was inspired by the way [[User:Granola|Yeltensic]] had turned himself around. In any case, I am deeply sorry. The least I can do is tell you how I did the vandalism so that you can better protect against anything that might happen in the future.
::I used two dynamic IP's: Safari and AOL. Aol has a set of three or four dynamic IP's that change within a narrow range from page to page. Safari's IP changes once every day, but it usually retains the first two segments (75.123.12.32, 75.123.32.34.... and so on). I opened numerous windows at once and typed in my edits and (sigh) summeries. This way the vandalism was at a high speed. I hope at least me telling you this helps (or rather, that you won't need it). [[User:Taco Salad of My Dreams|Taco Salad of My Dreams]]
:::I am willing to give you a chance. Several of your latest incarnations have actually showed some promise, and I hope you can build on that. Once again, I can't speak for all users and sysops, but in general we're a pretty forgiving bunch. I caution you that you will have to prove yourself (assuming others also give you a chance), and our collective patience with you might not be what it would be for a normal new user.
:::Thanks for the technical info (although I did already know that, by the way; that's how I was able to post on your talk page before you'd even made any real edits). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

== IP Checking ==

There's been a fair amount of debate about accounts that seem to be all created by H*bad.

:::Um... yeah. Okay. First of all, don't let people make accounts using your computer, and if you do, have them choose a different name from you.

== MediaWiki Extensions ==

Cool, two headings in a row. Alrighty, I have two things to talk about. One - would you be able to post your source code for the extensions you wrote somewhere, such as [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Mediawiki_Extensions here]? Two - do you know how to add a tab from within an extension? I figured out how to do it by editing SkinTemplate.php, but is there any way to have the same effect through an extension? (I'm trying to add a purge tab next to watch/unwatch). - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 10:22, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
:I do plan to publish the extensions I have written. They need a bit of polishing, standardizing, and commenting before I would post them in a public place, however. As for the tab thing, I'm guessing you want more of an add-on file rather than a patch in the original file? I'm not currently familiar enough with how the tabs are generated to be able to give you a good answer to that one, but I would be surprised if it could be done with a standalone extension. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:37, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
::Alrighty, thanks. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 11:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

{

var text = document.createTextNode( "Purge" );
newA.appendChild( text );
newLi.appendChild( newA );
ul.appendChild( newLi );
}

== Grizzly Chomps ==

Hi It's dot com,

I had a question, and I'm not sure where else to put it. Can you explain why you didn't you think my "Grizzly chomps" fun fact in the Candy Product was a good one? I may be biased, but I think it applies pretty well. TBC have been known to reference old and obscure pop-culture items in the past, and I can't think of any other "pre-bitten" candy product sold in stores. I'd like to think they had this product in mind when they made the toon. You can even Google for it and read up on it.

Anyhow, I just wanted to know what my options were for debating this fact. Is this is something I could put in STUFF for debate? And if so, how?

The submission was:
*The "built-in bite" shape of SBLOUNSKCHED! may refer to Grizzly Chomps, a [[Wikipedia:Hostess|Hostess]]-brand treat introduced in 1992. The package included two chocolate cupcakes with a bite-mark shape cut out of them, and the package bore a cartoon bear saying, "I start 'em, you finish 'em."

:I removed it because the Grizzly Chomps are so old and obscure that any similarity to SBLOUNSKCHED is likely just a coincidence. None of the secondary details match, especially the reason for the bite. In the case of Grizzly Chomps, the bear helps you eat it for some reason, but Strong Bad calls the bite in his candy a security measure to deter others from eating it. I think that TBC independently thought it was funny to have a bite missing from the candy, and to suggest otherwise is too much speculation for my taste.
:    That said, I am more than willing to help you set up a STUFF item. The relevant instructions are at [[HRWiki:STUFF/Newfact]]. You need to start at "2. The STUFF subpage". Hope that helps! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:37, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
::I went ahead and STUFF'd it for you. You can have the next one. :) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

::While that's true, Kookykman, he might asking in general. Sorry, Bluebry. I'm not the one to ask about bots. You might try Joey, Tom, Phlip, or even others. I'm much more content to hack the software from the inside rather than use a bot from the outside. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:42, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Unless you have über-1337 haxx0r access like our friend It's dot com here, the only way you're going to be doing anything to the wiki is with normal page loads, ie exactly as if you were editing it by hand, just automated. So any language that you can use to access the net you could theoretically use to write a bot. However since many languages have packages to simplify HTTP, these languages would be easier to use, and some languages (like Python) even have pre-built wikibot frameworks for you to work off. But this doesn't say you can't go and write your wikibot in pretty much any language – it's simply a matter of how hard it is to write. Python is a simple-to-learn language anyways. I doubt you would ever write a bot that used PHP, and rarely would you write one that used MySQL. And of course if you prefer to work with <code>socket</code> and <code>connect</code> in C, there's nothing stopping you from doing that either... it would just be extremely tedious to write. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:23, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

== Dangeresque change ==

(First off I'm new here so I don't know if I'm doing this right. Just so you know)

I'm the guy that changed the Dangeresque character page to note that dangeresque's glasses somehow stay on his head despite his total lack of ears. You changed it back, saying "(that's true, but it's not really very notable)"

Not notable? This is homestarwiki! You've got an entire page on the battle of strongbadia, despite the fact that it only applies to one email. And allow me to quote some other character pages...

Homestar: "Though he lacks a visible pair of arms, he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he does have arms, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. "

Bubs: "His facial configuration is puzzling; in Pumpkin Carve-nival, he appears to have a safety pin stuck through his face above an internal ear."

Marsipan: "Like Homestar, Marzipan has no visible arms, though she is able to interact with the world as though she did, being able to pick up and move objects, and even play a guitar. It is generally accepted that either her arms are invisible, or that she has limited telekinetic powers."

Strong Bad:"He has boxing gloves for hands (that always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), and a lucha libre mask for a head [...] Strong Bad may also have a Homestar-like telekinesis"

Um...so yeah. I'm not mad or anything. I just wanted to point out that dangeresque's floating glasses can probably be considered significant if all this other stuff is on the site. (Hey, you could even tie it in with Strong Bad's rumored telekinesis, right?)

In conclusion, sorry this comment was so long. I guess I'll check back on this page later to see if you offer a counter-argument. Thanks for reading!

:First of all, let me say thank you for taking the time to write such a lengthy comment. Why not take a second and [[Special:Userlogin|create an account]]? I agree with you that Dangeresque's glasses do not seem to have anything supporting them (although I suppose one could argue that they are held to his face by tension or even glue). My main problem with noting it on the Dangeresque page is that it really breaks up the flow of that sentence (which is based largely on the [[Dangeresque (theme)|Dangeresque theme]]). In addition, the information isn't really that central to the character; it's more like [[TBC]] just worked in the glasses as best they could given the features of Strong Bad's head. I'm not suggesting that we not note the information ''anywhere''. Perhaps you could put it in the list of [[Lack of Visible Arms#References to Other Apparently Invisible Body Parts|references to other apparently invisible body parts]]. Again, thanks for your note, and welcome to the wiki! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:07, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Just out of curiosity, why did you revert my edits on the HR Wiki article on wikipedia? I tried to include the most important users on the wiki there (e.g. you, Tom, BazookaJoe, Some H*R Themed Username, etc.) and put accurate descriptions on what you did there. I'm not mad or anything, just a bit confused. Get back to me when you can. 

P.P.S. I left this message on your account on Wikipedia first, but I decided to put it on both your accounts so that you might get it sooner.

See yas!

:Actually, you didn't include BazookaJoe. I put him in shortly before removing the list. The reason I took it out is that it's so subjective. What makes a user notable? That list could have easily been four times as long. I decided that it would be better not to have it at all.

Actually, that's what I thought when that addition showed up a few days ago.

I guess this addition was an attempt to explain its significance (otherwise, why should two guys in Atlanta choose it aside from the funny-sounding name?).

== Expanded basic cable ==

Hi. Master Chief has this friend and Masterchief always goes to his house. Yesterday i went to his house and When I went on this site, I saw that he had the same IP as me. So when Master Chief went to his friend's house he created sockpuppets and vandalized the wiki. Now he isn't Master Chief's friend anymore because they got into some fight. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 21:49, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

:::If you installed your wiki yourself, then you already have the access necessary to check IPs.

:That is standard in 1.6 (where it will be spelled 'contribs', incidentally). I recognize that it's taking us longer than we originally anticipated to make the upgrade. Don't give up hope of its happening, though. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:01, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

==Where's the page?==

When I try to get into the "Where's the Cheat?" page from the H*R updates page, it says "no page with that title exists," but when I get into it from the "Toons" section, it works fine. Is there a broken link, or is the problem at my end? [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 14:04, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

:To clarify, the link found at [[H*R.com updates 2002#Tuesday, February 26, 2002]] for [[Where's The Cheat?]] doesn't work, but the one at [[Toons#Big Toons]] does? What's really odd is that the error you're receiving is [[MediaWiki:Nogomatch]], which I thought was only shown when there's no exact match for a search done with the "Go" button. Is that the message you're seeing? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:15, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

::The closest I came to duplicating this problem is to type "Where's The Cheat" (without a question mark) in the search box. It also gives a similar error if you type "Where's The Cheat?" (with or without the question mark) in the URL. I'm going to make a redirect to fix those two things, but otherwise I can't recreate the problem as described. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:19, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

== When STUFF gets contradicted... ==

Hi, It's dot com. Here's a question that's been on my mind for a very, very long time (4 months):

What happens if we decline a STUFFed reference, thinking that it's unlikely, but then it turns out it was a reference after all? Say, for example, and I'm not saying that it is (even though I admit voting in favor), [[Happy Trogday]] WAS a homage to All Your Base, and that it is confirmed by TBC themselves on, say, the DVD commentary? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:31, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

:Well, we just write a nice letter to TBC explaining how they must be mistaken. Once we vote here, that's the end of it. :) Actually, this has happened several times (none springs to mind right this second, but I'm sure someone will list an example here shortly). In cases like that, we simply overturn our vote and note that TBC said so. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:33, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
:: I haven't yet looked it up, but I believe that "Ryan S." from [[theme park]] was such an example. You're welcome. :D --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
:::[[Talk:rampage#I.27m_on_a_Rainbow_.28originally_DECLINED.2C_now_ACCEPTED.29|Here]] is the one example of which I'm aware. And concerning AYB: Even though I voted to decline, I have always felt it was ''possible'' that fact was correct, and will not be surprised if we do have to un-decline it (nor will I be surprised if we don't). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:39, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

==Sockpuppetness==
I know sockpuppetry when I see it and I know that kk is a definate sockpuppet person. (I know how ironic) Anyways, I was wondering why it is that when someone creates an account on here, 2-3 others are created. So my question is, that do you beaucrats check every new user if they have another log in name?--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 17:24, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
:You have already asked me questions like this two or three times on this page, but I'm still not going to give you a straight answer. Nothing against you, but I don't like to post details of something like that. Nevertheless, it's probably not hard to infer certain things by posts I've made elsewhere. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:02, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

== Thatkidsysop ==
Do you think you could make [[HRFWiki:User:Thatkidsam|Thatkidsam]] a sysop on the Fanstuff Wiki? There's been a concensus for him to be added to the team. (I actually posted this on the official forum's admin thread a little while ago, but it's been hours without a response and there's already a bit of excitement on the wiki.) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 19:22, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
:No wait. Lets make a discussion about this.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 19:38, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
No problem. For some reason that forum wasn't showing as having new messages for me. I know what it's like to be offered a promotion and then have to wait and wait for it to go through (in my case, the whole wiki was locked down for the server move). So I will not tell you to keep your pants on, for real. ;) H*bad, this talk page is not the right venue for a discussion on the promotion. In fact, simply by Joshua's posting here I assume that all the necessary discussion has already taken place. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:05, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

== Magical Sysop Powers? ==

I've noticed that you and the other sysops around here are able to identify a user by their IP number. I have my own little personal wiki, running on the exact same version of MediaWiki as this one, of course without any changes made to this wiki after installation. As far as I can tell, I have no such all knowing, ip reading powers as the sysop of my wiki.

== Paranormal Idol ==

Could you check the IPs of Paranormal Idol and HomeTron V20 on the fanstuff wiki? I think they might be the same person. - {{User:Bub/sig}}
:Sorry, but a request for that info would have to come from a fanstuff sysop. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
::Okay, could you please check the IPs of the following Fanstuff users: [[HRFWiki:User:HomeTron V20|HomeTron V20]], [[HRFWiki:User:Paranormal Idol|Paranormal Idol]], [[HRFWiki:User:Paranormal Idol2|Paranormal Idol2]], [[HRFWiki:User:Paranormal Idol3|Paranormal Idol3]] and [[HRFWiki:User:Ytmnd Boy|Ytmnd Boy]]. Here's the reason. (edited version of reasons written by Bub on [[HRFWiki:User talk:Joshua]].)
::HomeTron V20 was a player on an interactive game which Bub created. HomeTron apparently quit the wiki because his Fake Characters were getting deleted by Joshua (as per a different discussion). A couple of days later, a new user, Paranormal Idol joined the wiki. He then created two new accounts, Paranormal Idol2 and Paranormal Idol3, claiming that he lost the password to his original account. Paranormal Idol3 then joined the same interactive game. After playing it for a while and then dying (in the game), he left the wiki. A few minutes after this, Ytmnd Boy signed up and requested to be in Bub's interactive game using the same character as HomeTron V20. All of these users share the same style of grammar, spelling and the way they transcribe.
::In my opinion, this seems like valid grounds for an IP check. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 06:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

== Upgrade to 1.6 at the fanstuff wiki ==
Hey, awesome job, you and Tom really work harder than most people notice. The log in page is the best part, though. however, do you think you'll be able to add the poopsmith border again? I'm just wondering if 1.6 can't do that. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:54, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
:I love the RSS upgrade....But one question: Why did you upgrade the HRFWiki before the HRWiki? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 02:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
::We try to shake down any problems we're going to encounter there before we apply the upgrade here. Not all fanstuffers are happy with this arrangement, but it's the best we've got, as it allows us to identify problems using a database that already has an enormous amount of content. If it's any consolation to them, we did spend an extensive amout of time testing the new features before we committed them to the live wiki. As for the Poopsmith, I don't know when or whether we'll be seeing him again soon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

== Hi ==

I was just lookin around on the wiki this morning and decided that I'd leave a brief hello message for you. 

Hi, It's Dot Com. 
I haven't really talked with you too much, so I felt like leaving you a message. What's up with you in real life lately? Anything cool happening that you'd like to talk about? Any interesting stories or other stuff? Are there any Wiki projects that need serious cleaning up or any pages that need creating? If so, I'd be glad to help with them. I don't really have too much wiki time any mroe, but I have a chance to be on this morning for a little while. I'd be glad to assist with any ongoing projects that are in need of serious help. If you get a chance, please reply on my talk page.

{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 13:27, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Could I add you to my friends list? I'd like to recognize you on my userpage for your remarkable work on this wiki over the time you've been here. Thanks for your time.

:Well, sure. You can't have too many friends. To answer your other questions: The Rangers are still doing well, and that makes me happy. I can't think of any projects off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's some good ideas over at [[HRWiki:The Stick]]. I also can't think of any pages that need to be created. I wish they would release the next toon so we can make a page for ''it''. (By the way, I replied here instead of your talk page because it's generally better to keep discussion in one place.) Talk atcha later! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:36, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

2006-06-20T23:39:23Z

Will: /* Oh, crap */

Talk Page. All right. Feel free to add anything you'd like, people. Well, unless you're like, a vandal. In which case you shouldn't add anything at all.

==Just a quick question!==

How do you add a sig? They're so pretty! I want one. I mean, do you have to be a sysop?
:I suggest you look at the [[Help:Signature]] page for simple and clear instructions for making your own custom signature. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:I think I've got this! Did it work? {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 20:59, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

== Fan fiction ==

Teh Frossty One, your subpage, [[User:Teh Frossty One/fanfic]], is an example of fan fiction and is only acceptable on the [[HRFWiki:Main Page|fanstuff wiki]], as outlined [[hRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|here]]. If you wish for this to be a temporary home for the project due to your not being able to create an account on the fanstuff, please proceed. Otherwise, plese move the contents of the page to the Fanstuff wiki. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:04, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

'''Edit conflict:''' Hi Teh Frossty One! First off, welcome to the wiki! (This is not an official welcome as I do not belong to the welcoming committee). However, I am writing with regards to your [[User:Teh_Frossty_One/fanfic|fan fiction]]. I know there are certain leniencies as to the [[hRWiki:User space|content of your user page]]. <s>, so I think what you have now should be fine. </s> Know, however that if you do plan on creating a large amount of fan fiction that you consider putting it in the [[HRFWiki:Main_Page|fanstuff wiki]]. Unfortunately we're encountering strange circumstances, so if you don't have an HRFWiki account now, it may be some time before we're able to re-activate new user registration there. If you don't have an account there, and plan on making lots more fanfic, i suggest talking to a sysop to make temporary arrangements. Anyway, this note is long winded enough, and I read the story and it's pretty good! Keep up the good work --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:10, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks. But this'll probably be my only one until I get an account on the Fanstuff. Or my only one, period. {{User:Teh Frossty One/sig}}

::Ok, sounds good. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:19, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

== Apology...about the whole man thing...oops. ==

Yeah... Sorry about that. I meant it as no more than a quote, but I see how it could present problems. I didn't even think about it that way when I left it. I'm really sorry, and I hope my fix to the comment helps to ease the problem. If not, please feel free to just delete the quote entirely. I'll understand.

Again, really sorry about that. No harm meant.

::Technaclly, you don't ''have'' to be nominated. That was just in the 2004 sysop nominations. Usually, a sysop will just make you one, but first talk with the other sysops. At least, thats my guess. I dunno, since I'm not one. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 00:34, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm addicted to the wiki. When I left, I never really did. I still hung around as an IP a lot, just looking at gossip like who got blocked, who was made a sysop, etc. At least you'll be missed. I was never anything but a babbler on user talk pages. You were a hard-core contributor. It's ironic how the useless user stays, but the good user has to leave.

::I think this looks a lot better, but there's still some things that we could fix up. Like I said on [[Hrwiki talk: The Stick]], the background of The Cheat is not the least bit necessary. We should get an image of the stick and zoom in on the stick, then upload that image and put it behind the template you made for useful wiki links.

I have some problems with this. Overall, it's a pretty goofy welcome message. This would be good, but I don't think it would get that warm welcoming feeling to the new user. Also, the "could get you closer to being a sysop" remark is bad, as a proper user doesn't aim for sysophood, but rather contributing to main namespace articles. Also, the whole <s>striked through</s>, underlined etc. ruins the whole "be bold" thing. We don't mean bold as in '''bold''' text, but rather to not be afraid or intimidated of major editing. It has nothing to do with striking through stuff. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 14:06, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
:Fine, I'll change the messages around and then leave this open for deletion. The be bold joke was the best I have and I'm told it just ruins the be bold thing altogether. ''{sarcastically}'' Thanks for dissapointing me, though. --{{User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2}} 02:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
::How about instead of deleting it, you improve it? It's not all bad. There's just a bit too much sillyness in it that it may overwhelm and confuze the new user.

::::Well, that's not what I meant. Your welcome has gone beyond the scope of Homestar Runner humor that it doesn't even make sense to a wiki veteran. Saying "Helscome our wedsite; we're glad to have you as a member of the Homestarmy" is appropriate for an H*R community, but saying "Helscome our wheatie; we're glad to have you as an ingredient" is just too over the top.

Teh Frossty One, your subpage, [[User:Teh Frossty One/fanfic]], is an example of fan fiction and is only acceptable on the [[HRFWiki:Main Page|fanstuff wiki]], as outlined [[hRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|here]].

Otherwise, plese move the contents of the page to the Fanstuff wiki. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:04, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

'''Edit conflict:''' Hi Teh Frossty One! First off, welcome to the wiki! (This is not an official welcome as I do not belong to the welcoming committee). However, I am writing with regards to your [[User:Teh_Frossty_One/fanfic|fan fiction]]. I know there are certain leniencies as to the [[hRWiki:User space|content of your user page]]. <s>, so I think what you have now should be fine. </s> Know, however that if you do plan on creating a large amount of fan fiction that you consider putting it in the [[HRFWiki:Main_Page|fanstuff wiki]]. Unfortunately we're encountering strange circumstances, so if you don't have an HRFWiki account now, it may be some time before we're able to re-activate new user registration there. If you don't have an account there, and plan on making lots more fanfic, i suggest talking to a sysop to make temporary arrangements. Anyway, this note is long winded enough, and I read the story and it's pretty good! Keep up the good work --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:10, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

I recently showed Sarah the comment you left on my user talk page a while ago telling me to stop using the list of users list to welcome people.

Can't you just be a ''bit'' nicer? I think more people would like you then.
Please; I'm not trolling - although I did blank your talk page. But that was so you would see this easier.
If you revert it (which I'm sure you will) can you at least think about being ''nicer''?

:::::::: Oh, okay then. Please allow me to speak to your points: Occasionally messages must be posted that are stern because it's urgent that the message be understood. (In the case of the message I sent your brother, it was because of the fact that edit summaries can't be changed, and so we have to be careful what we put in them.) I do try, however, never to be insulting, and as I said way back when, I do apologize if he took it that way. Also, I have nothing against young users, and I will happily give assistance to anyone who needs it (just have a look around this talk page). It should be noted that several of our exceptional users, including a sysop, are quite young, relatively speaking. Even though actual age doesn't matter, I don't see anything wrong with expecting a certain level of maturity from our users, once they've had a chance to get the hang of things.

Apparantly this is all because of [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Character_Evolution&diff=next&oldid=175719 this revert]. I'm really confused as to how posting a few images constitutes two to three hours work as well as hating Homestar Coder for reverting it. Additionally, it didn't really fit; those images were all over the place. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 01:34, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I thought I [[User talk:Homestar Coder/MayAug2005#character evolution|explained reasonably]] that the pictures made the page cluttery; at the time, I was also trying to get that page deleted as I considered it redundant with [[:Category:Character Evolution]]. *shrug* {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 01:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::::::::Both are gone but the main reason I want to be a sysop is so I can help the wiki as much a possible. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 17:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::It's admirable to want to help the wiki. We need as many people—sysops and users alike—who will do that.     Around here, we consider several factors when choosing whom to make sysops, and the most important consideration is trustworthiness. A close second is participation in the project. Rounding out the top six are the ability to deal with other users (especially in mediating disputes or deciding when to step in), technical know-how, the necessity for another position (that is, whether or not the wiki needs more sysops at any given time), and finally seniority. ([[bottom 10|Number seven]] on the top-six list is [[Senor Cardgage|senority]], which is the ability to make bad H*R-related jokes.)     With those things in mind, at this time I would not be comfortable with making you a sysop. Not long ago, you vandalized this wiki and less than a day ago you were blocked from the fanstuff wiki for persistent trolling. I think it will take a while for people to trust you again after that. Additionally, you currently don't meet the [[User_talk:It%27s_dot_com/Let%27s_Get_Started_on_Doing_All_Those_Awesome_Things_I_Suggested#How_to_become_a_sysop|participation requirements]]. That is, you really don't have that many edits in the main or talk namespace nor have you done a big project. I haven't seen how you handle stress or abuse from problematic users and I don't know the status of your technical know-how (again, because I don't have a large sample of edits from which to judge). Last (and this one matters the least to me but is nevertheless important) there's the question of seniority: In other words, even if all else were equal, quite a few deserving people have been here a lot longer than you, and would thus be ahead of you in line whenever we promote the next user(s).     Please don't think I'm trying to be overly discouraging, but your persistence in asking has made me want to be as unambiguous as possible. (By the way, asking for a position of power—no matter where you are (except maybe Wikipedia)—is a sure way to guarantee that the position will ''not'' be handed to you. Just so you know.) I encourage you to read the link above about the requirements and follow its advice. Over time, perhaps a long time, if you make good contributions and keep your nose clean, then you might be more seriously considered. Until then, keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:45, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

::::One other thing, Thing: as I'm sure any of the sysops can tell you, it might not be as fun as it looks from the other side of the fence. It means a butteload of ''work'', and a commitment to a certain amount of involvement and responsibilities. It's like the Spiderman thing (you know, "With great power...). (Except it ''doesn't'' come with the ability to swing through Manhattan streets in spandex.) Also, about helping the wiki: yeah, deleting pages and blocking folks help, but it's really only a small percentage of the work that improves the wiki: the bulk of it is regular users editting and reviewing each other's edits. In other words, you ''already'' have the power for the single biggest part of wiki-helping that goes on. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

If I may throw in my own perspective on this, "with great power comes great responsibility." From what I've observed, being a sysop means making a lot of tough judgement calls, speaking nicely to people when you'd rather not, getting blamed for just about anything that goes wrong (real or perceived) and a lot of really hard work. Given all that, I'm not really clear on why someone would want that job so much, but I have nothing but admiration for the people who do it. [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 01:37, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

hey, it's dot com. i just got unblocked this morning. i want to say you did the right thing, and that now i will probably be spending less time on the wiki, so when i get blocked the next time it won't suck so bad. ah well. anyway, like i said, you did the completely right thing, and i hope you become an admin for what you did. thanks.

== That image ==

Just so you know, the reason I restored that image for "[[It's like it was meant to be]]" is just because Homestar Coder and Abdi both expressed their support for it and I felt that the person who removed it was acting rather unilaterally.

== What did you do ==
I would just like to make a counterpoint to hating guestbooks, even though the discussion is over. Have you ever thoguht how much sigs should be deleted? You must have, because if you are going to delete guestbooks like you did, the exact same reasons apply to sigs. People working on their sigs clutters up the recent changes, I know because I do it '''all the time'''. Sigs are not contributing to the wiki, just like you insist guestbooks don't. And finally, They give no proof that someone ever read your userpage, something that by the way is something that people either do or don't but that shouldn't matter to anyone else. I just think that What you and the admins did was entirely opinionated. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
:No proof, eh? Well, I guess that someone could read a user page in a matter of seconds and then promptly sign a guestbook. Not all sigs clog recent changes, just yours. Sigs are a means of identifying a user, and thus serve a purpose. I am not meaning to reply for It's dot com, but I just wanted to say this. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 22:58, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
::Also, I bet a lot of sig flooding could be stopped if people just used "Show Preview". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::: Sigs exist anyway; you edit them in your user preferences (which does not show up on Recentchanges). The custom, however, is to create a User/sig template and use ''that'' as your sig. The User/sig versions are used because:
:::# They're easier to edit.
:::# If you edit one, ''all'' of your signatures change. If you edit the sig in your preferences, only ''future'' signatures change.
::: What's more, custom sigs of any sort allow links to your Talk or Contributions page, and make it easier to tell who's who (if you see a light blue sig with a green "Talk" area, it's probably me. If you see a gold-colored sig with symbols on both sides, it's likely Thunderbird. etc.) I'd take that over not being able to tell if I've previously read a user page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:29, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

::For the first question, I looked briefly and couldn't find it (actually i scanned the page twice) but couldn't find it. I was scanning too quickly.

Yeah, I just looked at the blcok log, and I have to admit I am confused. He must have matched the IP addresses. Also, there are two new users that are created. How do we know they're not yeltensic? {{User:Seriously/sig}}

:::How? {{User:The thing/sig}}

::::I agree with The thing on this one. Even though he might look like NSMC at first glance, take a look at the article on Uncyclopedia [http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/HRWIKI about our wiki]. At the near bottom, it says "If you happen to be new, register with the username: 18593095NSMC90531234 - Trust me, it'll be fun." This is the ''exact same username''. It seems to me that this guy just didn't know anything about NSMC or this wiki and got Punk'd. He wasn't doing anything bad (yet), so why block him because of "trolling"? Although I would suggest that he get a better username. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::Yea. {{User:The thing/sig}} 22:13, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::LLok at this '''North Shore Medical Center''' same first letters. {{User:The thing/sig}}

::::::I know exactly where he got the username, and it's the reason I knew what his intentions were. Trolling is the (usually intentional) provocation of a person or community with the aim of getting a negative reaction. Even if he just did it on a lark (which I doubt), he should know better than to blindly follow instructions he came across in a place like that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

== Babel ==

I understand why you think that the [[HRWiki:Babel|Babel]] towers will be better with the source code rather than the templates, but I really think that templates will make it a lot easier to use and more user friendly. I understand that there would be a lot, but noinclude tags could be used to keep track of them. Source code is fine, but do you think that I could at least try with Templates, and if it gets too confusing switch back to source code? -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 00:23, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
:I think we should try with the source code first. It's not too hard to get the hang of. (Besides, it's just copy and paste for most people. ;) ) I don't have a problem with a generic template, but we don't need to create a whole slew of them for a non-mainspace thing such as this. Plus, this way, people won't be limited by just the ones in the templates (although we do ask that they be Homestar Runner (or wiki) related). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:31, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Umm... are you sure that IP you blocked recently is the right guy? Because I checked his contribs and he hasn't done anything vaguely trollish. Except, maybe for editing Tampo's sig and page, but Tampo din't seem to mind, which leads me to believe he ''is'' Tampo. If he's not, he still seems like a fine user.

== Admin sigs ==
Why do none of the admins excepy JoeyDay have customized their sigs? I'm thinking maybe you guys are too busy to do that stuff. Just wondering if you knew. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:47, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:Well, that's not quite true, unless you have a very narrow definition of admin. If by admin you mean someone on the [[Template:adminteam|Admin Team]], then [[User:Stu|Stu]] definitely has a [[User:Stu/sig|signature]]. If you mean people who are on the Admin Team and are currently active in the day-to-day maintenance of the site, then you're right, only Joey has really customized his signature. Of the six of us, however, only [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] has no customization to speak of. [[User:Tom|Tom]], [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]], and I all have subtle modifications from the standard. If, on the other hand, when you say admins you mean sysops, then there is quite a bit of customization. [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] and [[User:FireBird|FireBird]] have had special sigs for as long as I can remember, as have [[User:Jay|Jay]], [[User:Homestar Coder|Homestar Coder]], [[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]], and [[User:The Paper|The Paper]]. [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]'s modification is a slight tweak, and [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] and [[User:Furrykef|Furrykef]] haven't been here in a while. Even [[User:GrapeNuts|GrapeNuts]] (a bot) has a [[User:GrapeNuts/sig|sig]]. As for the heart of your question: Why do Tom, [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]], and I have more or less "plain" signatures? Well, Tom's is like that because he's ornery about such things. BazookaJoe's and mine are like that because it just looks right. Since everyone else goes to such great lengths to customize their signatures, ''not'' doing so becomes a customization in itself. — [[User:It's dot com|''It's dot com'']] 23:30, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Cool font. I meant the admin team, without the sysops, By the way. Stu, well I've never actually seen him make an edit. Although I did hear that he was joey's friend. I just think that if you have a sig, you should make it have more convenience, like having a link to your talk page. Thnaks for the answer. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:35, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

:And Dot com has toyed with his signature in the past [[User talk:Thunderbird L17/Archive 8#Towards a more standards-compliant signature|once or twice]], a long while back. That special sig you just made looks pretty cool, if you ever did decide to change it for good. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:35, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
::GrapeNuts has a sig? Dot com customizing his!? What is the world coming to!? ''This message is {{User:GrapeNuts/sig}} approved (not really, I just wanted an excuse to use his sig :).'' --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:04, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

:::Weird. And ''you'', thunderbird, had a blue sig. That scares me. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 05:10, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
::::Um, I just wanted to know what subtle modifications you, Tom, and InterruptorJones have on your sig. Do you mean past versions? Also, what is DrHaggis's slight tweak? {{User: Seriously/sig}} 01:25, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::Tom has a nonbreaking space in front of his (and used to have an empty link). I have an em dash. Interruptor Jones has both of those and uses small tags. Dr Haggis's real username is Drhaggis. All of us put the modifications directly in the preferences box, instead of using a sig template. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:59, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

== Fanstuff on the knowledge base ==
By the way, you say I have to delete my caption contest, yet you don't seem to think about the amazing amount of people doing translations on their userpages. Also, you should think about Has Matt?'s page that includes homsar quotes that other people can edit. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:I can't realy think of many people who do translations. Even then, the translations themselves are direct quotes and the replies are occurring on the talk pages. The reason I had a problem with your activity is because not only were you inviting people to edit your user page, you were asking them to ''create new H*R-related content'' based on the toons, which is the very definition of fanstuff. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:38, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

::::Well, DBK does, after the extremely insolent remark I made on his user page, And you have a reason because of [[User: Ciberdude444|Something I can't mention.]] Also, Firebird has an excuse because I was blocked by him for trolling, and Yeltensic has a reason (although he's not a user anymore) because I was one of the people who asked him to stop most. {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:47, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::One of the coolest things in this wiki is that everybody generally treats each other with respect and with maturity. Most of the people I know here do their job (be it editing pages, commenting on behavior, or taking action nobody wants to have to take but that needs to be taken) and then move on if need be, and so we try not to harbor little things that may be divisive or in the long run inconsequential. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:04, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Why isn't what he did bad to you? Before you say no, let me explain. First of all, he embarassed me ''and'' The thing on his talk page '''on purpose''', second of all, he said apology's to dot com, which means he knew this would have a certain outcome to certain people like me, you (which for some reason you find fine), and the thing. This is a perfect example of premeditated malice. And third of all, would you like it if someone made fun of you on their talk page for everyone to see? {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:24, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:I have asked The Smoking Monkey to revert or remove the thread. If you find it insulting, then it is a personal attack, which we don't want. I assure you this was not The Smoking Monkey's intent, but that is beside the point. Let me take this opportunity, however, to suggest that learning to laugh at one's self is one of the most difficult yet rewarding things a person can do.

== Finding vandalism ==

Hey, just wanted to flag a sysop. [[other days]] was mildly vandalized. I fixed it but figured you might want to know about it. Feel free to delete this from your talk if you want. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:22, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:Simple nuisance vandalism can just be fixed and then ignored. The best way to let us know about more serious vandalism is to post it on [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]]. Then we'll get it taken care of. Thanks for reverting that page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:41, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Did I miss something or is this just deja vu? I *just* noticed that the order of the "diff" and "hist" buttons are out of order from the other wiki's.

:::::::::::::I wasn't party to this at all, so I don't really know what happened in this particular case. But I will say this: I said once before that I thought the ops here were being too lenient on The Thing, as he's had a history of vandalism and trolling in the past, and everyone seems to be very quick to defend him. (Lots of "I'm sorry's" and "I won't do it again!'s".) I don't deny he's also made good edits here, but I have not seen discipline executed equally to him as has been to others who've done similar things, or less. That's kinda frustrating to see. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

You all need to complain to your teachers for not teaching you how to read. While you're at it, Seriously and The thing, go ahead and post a mailing address where I can send a bill to your parents for babysitting you. On the main page talk, I said that anyone caught vandalizing in our name would be dealt with. I have neither the time nor the resources to try and police other wikis. The message regarding other wikis means that if you vandalize Uncyclopedia, for example, ''in retaliation'' for something that happens here, then at that point you are speaking for ''all'' of us here, and I care very much that you don't do that. But random vandalism doesn't concern me. To The thing: I can't believe that you think vandalism is funny, especially given that you're an administrator at a wiki. To Seriously: you need to learn what is and what isn't important, and stop being such a tattletale. And stop speaking for me. In one place you say "No matter what, you must get blocked." You have neither the authority nor the experience to be making claims like that. To KieferSkunk: The thing didn't actually do anything (in this case) to harm our wiki or its good name, and therefore there are no grounds for blocking him. (And he ''has'' been blocked recently by BazookaJoe for spamming.) To anyone who needs to hear this: Stop vandalizing. Stop behaving so immaturely (and don't blame your actions on your age; I know several young good contributors). Wiki usage is not a right; it's a privilege. And for goodness' sake, stop apologizing. You've said you're sorry so much that the words have no meaning. Let your future actions be your apology. That's all for now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:38, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
:In reply to your comment to me: I understand, and I'm not asking for him to be blocked in this case. I was making a more general comment about The Thing's history, seeing as how I have witnessed vandalism from him in the past and saw people, even sysops, defending him and going way out of their way to reason with him, rather than treating him as a vandal. I didn't understand it at the time, and I still don't, so I left my comments on the matter at "I think you're being too lenient with him". This was mainly just a follow-up on that, more to mention that I'm not surprised another "incident" has come up than anything else. That's all. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
::Well, unless an account is being used for nothing but vandalism, then [[HRWiki:Blocking_Policy#Vandalism|reasoning should always be exhausted]] before blocking is implemented. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:53, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
:::Just who do you think you are? ''Babysitting''? Y'know, it's not like I've ever done anything mean to you. Yes, I spoke for you. Just trying to help and to see it in the eyes of an admin. Yes, I've answered your talk page questions for you with crappy answers. Again, jsut trying to help. These things don't mean you have to insult me like that. Y'know, I've really never done anything bad to you on purpose. I always had great respect for you, and I've never purposely insulted you like you just did. You need to learn how a simple misinterpretation of a comment on the main page talk should'nt be an excuse for acting like that. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

::::To Seriously: As one who has been an admin several times in other places, one thing I can say with certainty is that many admins feel very put off and are easily annoyed by non-admins (and especially relatively new people) trying to speak for them. Dictating policy to other users on behalf of the admins is usually a no-no unless you are an admin or are trusted by the admins to do so. (Obviously, I can't speak for It's dot com, but if I were in his place dealing with this crap, that's how I'd feel.) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:17, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
:::::And if you haven't figured it out by now who I am, Seriously, then you've got deeper problems than I can fix in one afternoon. To The thing: whatever, man. To KieferSkunk: Hear, hear. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:23, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
::::::Okay. Here it goes, time for me to swallow my pride:

Look, Dot com, I just don't want to be treated like a baby. In my opinion, I think being a tattletale is the wrong was to think about it, I prefer "fighting trolls, and trying to help you with your rule". Yes, I was disrespectful to you. I just needed to prove my point and express my anger at you. Also, I know you are an admin. Maybe I ''was'' a bit overboard with you; that doesn't mean what I said was entirely wrong. I mean, I apologize, but it's not like I'll kiss your ring and beg for forgiveness. I've got to be a bit more defiant than that to ever prove my point. Just remember: I've always, ''always'' tried to help you, and I just found your comment a bit mean. Just forgive me, please, and let this whole thing disappear. Thanks a lot. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:11, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

:Seriously, have you been reading this thread and understanding it? It's dot com has stated just 8 posts up: "And for goodness' sake, stop apologizing." You are still relatively new to this wiki, and your experience has been limited to editing User and User talk pages. You said yourself you give "crappy answers" to questions that don't concern you. When I first joined, I watched conversations like this unfold and saw how responsible admins reacted. I didn't try to solve everybody's problems; I knew I didn't have the knowledge. Just keep to yourself for a while and maybe see what it's like to make some main namespace contrubutions. (That is the idea of a wiki, you know.) {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 00:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm still at the conference, it was really great. IRC doesn't work on the terminals, but suffice it to say, I was here, got autographs, (not many questions) and it was really great. I'll try and get a writeup on Wednesday evening. --TBird

:::Too late. His IP's been blocked. He'll log in when he needs to, but I have one question: If he was TBird, why did he sign TBird instead of his IP (accidentally typed <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> without knowing he wasn't logged in) or with his sig (or siggie, I guess)? It doesn't seem right. I mean, if he can edit annonymously, he can edit logged on, and I think the first thing he'll ask if he can't log in is why he can't. Plus, he would know that an IP editing as a user would most likely be reverted. We could unblock the IP and see if TBird can log on now, I guess. Wouldn't hurt, but I still think it wasn't him. I dunno. Oh, also, if it was him, sorry, just don't want anybody impersonating you. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 03:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

== Blocking durations ==

As a senior sysop and an admin here, if we are being trolled by someone, for how long he or she should be blocked. I know that known trolls like NSMC, Dr. Who and others are blocked forever, but what about small calibar trolls? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
:It's pretty much a judgment call in almost all cases. For IP addresses, 1 to 3 days, depending on the severity of the vandalism. For ''really'' bad stuff, a week or so. If a vandal is obviously changing IPs within a narrow range, blocking the range X.X.X.0/24 (or 23) usually works. Users who make useful contributions should be reasoned with first if possible, not blocked. Accounts created for no purpose other than to vandalize should be blocked infinitely. Hope that helps! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:13, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

== User groups ==
I have a question: I know what a sysop does, and I know what a beaurucrat does, but what do you get to do as a developer that nobody else can? I'm just wondering what it means it have the promotion. Thanks. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
:For those of you following along at home, I was technically made a bureaucrat and a developer on the same day. The only reason I wasn't added to the developer group in the wiki software is because there's a subtle difference between being a developer and being in the developer group. At the time I was made a developer, the wiki developer group was inactive. Since then, we reenabled it, and when we did, I was put in the group, even though for practical purposes I was already in it. Make sense? Okay, now that we have that out of the way: Bureaucrats can assign and unassign users to groups (usually to make sysops), and can also rename users. People in the developer group can lock and unlock the database. That originally was the only function available, but since then I have extended it somewhat using my developer abilities. And here's the distinction: a developer has direct access to the server and database. They can see server logs, view raw database data, and modify system software (to improve upon it). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

:::No, it was created for purely narcissistic purposes (Joey's words, not mine). -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:42, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

:::: This is true. 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)

== Dr. Who Never Strikes Again ==

Ok. I've got to admit, somewhat grudgingly, that you caught me earlier. I AM in fact Dr. Who. But I really wasn't planning on using this account for vandalism. Yesterday after I attacked the fanstuff wiki I saw that I had hurt someone's feelings and I felt terrible when it put a personal face on what I'd done. I'm ready and willing to talk to you about why and how I did all of that trolling if you just give me this chance. Of course, I would understand if you banned me right away, but I'm asking you to give it a try. Sincerely, [[User:Taco Salad of My Dreams|Taco Salad of My Dreams]]
:I can't speak for all the other sysops, but I won't ban you if you're willing to talk civilly. The whole reason I posted on your talk page was to find out about you and talk to you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:33, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
::Ok then, here goes. I believe the first trolling I ever did was under the name "you smell", where I added that phrase several times to the [[Characters]] page. I decided that it was funny that someone coming to learn would see that (yes, I know, very immature and stupid of me). That was the full extent that I knew of what I was doing. I later learned of the concept of wiki vandalism from Uncyclopedia. I have been using this wiki for years without knowing exactly how maintenance worked; when I did I became jealous of the sysops. I wished to make a name for myself here without doing years of work (rather like WoW, I was trying to gain infamy). My attacks became somewhat meaner as I went on, and I attacked users when I got tired of simply tampering with content. I started thinking of ways to justify it to myself, such as that injustice was being done to me over userboxes, or that my name alone had gotten me banned. I guess I saw it as a way to "break loose" because I am normally NOT a rude or confrontational person. I just stopped for two reasons: I was ashamed of myself, and I was inspired by the way [[User:Granola|Yeltensic]] had turned himself around. In any case, I am deeply sorry. The least I can do is tell you how I did the vandalism so that you can better protect against anything that might happen in the future.
::I used two dynamic IP's: Safari and AOL. Aol has a set of three or four dynamic IP's that change within a narrow range from page to page. Safari's IP changes once every day, but it usually retains the first two segments (75.123.12.32, 75.123.32.34.... and so on). I opened numerous windows at once and typed in my edits and (sigh) summeries. This way the vandalism was at a high speed. I hope at least me telling you this helps (or rather, that you won't need it). [[User:Taco Salad of My Dreams|Taco Salad of My Dreams]]
:::I am willing to give you a chance. Several of your latest incarnations have actually showed some promise, and I hope you can build on that. Once again, I can't speak for all users and sysops, but in general we're a pretty forgiving bunch. I caution you that you will have to prove yourself (assuming others also give you a chance), and our collective patience with you might not be what it would be for a normal new user.

Two - do you know how to add a tab from within an extension? I figured out how to do it by editing SkinTemplate.php, but is there any way to have the same effect through an extension? (I'm trying to add a purge tab next to watch/unwatch). - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 10:22, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
:I do plan to publish the extensions I have written. They need a bit of polishing, standardizing, and commenting before I would post them in a public place, however. As for the tab thing, I'm guessing you want more of an add-on file rather than a patch in the original file? I'm not currently familiar enough with how the tabs are generated to be able to give you a good answer to that one, but I would be surprised if it could be done with a standalone extension. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:37, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

== Grizzly Chomps ==

Hi It's dot com,

I had a question, and I'm not sure where else to put it. Can you explain why you didn't you think my "Grizzly chomps" fun fact in the Candy Product was a good one? I may be biased, but I think it applies pretty well. TBC have been known to reference old and obscure pop-culture items in the past, and I can't think of any other "pre-bitten" candy product sold in stores. I'd like to think they had this product in mind when they made the toon. You can even Google for it and read up on it.

Anyhow, I just wanted to know what my options were for debating this fact. Is this is something I could put in STUFF for debate? And if so, how?

The submission was:
*The "built-in bite" shape of SBLOUNSKCHED! may refer to Grizzly Chomps, a [[Wikipedia:Hostess|Hostess]]-brand treat introduced in 1992. The package included two chocolate cupcakes with a bite-mark shape cut out of them, and the package bore a cartoon bear saying, "I start 'em, you finish 'em."

:I removed it because the Grizzly Chomps are so old and obscure that any similarity to SBLOUNSKCHED is likely just a coincidence. None of the secondary details match, especially the reason for the bite. In the case of Grizzly Chomps, the bear helps you eat it for some reason, but Strong Bad calls the bite in his candy a security measure to deter others from eating it. I think that TBC independently thought it was funny to have a bite missing from the candy, and to suggest otherwise is too much speculation for my taste.
:    That said, I am more than willing to help you set up a STUFF item. The relevant instructions are at [[HRWiki:STUFF/Newfact]]. You need to start at "2. The STUFF subpage". Hope that helps! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:37, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

If I wanted to program a WikiBot, would it be HAVE to be in PHP, Python, or MySQL? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 22:27, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

::While that's true, Kookykman, he might asking in general. Sorry, Bluebry. I'm not the one to ask about bots. You might try Joey, Tom, Phlip, or even others. I'm much more content to hack the software from the inside rather than use a bot from the outside. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:42, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
:::Unless you have über-1337 haxx0r access like our friend It's dot com here, the only way you're going to be doing anything to the wiki is with normal page loads, ie exactly as if you were editing it by hand, just automated. So any language that you can use to access the net you could theoretically use to write a bot. However since many languages have packages to simplify HTTP, these languages would be easier to use, and some languages (like Python) even have pre-built wikibot frameworks for you to work off. But this doesn't say you can't go and write your wikibot in pretty much any language – it's simply a matter of how hard it is to write. Python is a simple-to-learn language anyways. I doubt you would ever write a bot that used PHP, and rarely would you write one that used MySQL. And of course if you prefer to work with <code>socket</code> and <code>connect</code> in C, there's nothing stopping you from doing that either... it would just be extremely tedious to write. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:23, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

== Dangeresque change ==

(First off I'm new here so I don't know if I'm doing this right. Just so you know)

I'm the guy that changed the Dangeresque character page to note that dangeresque's glasses somehow stay on his head despite his total lack of ears. You changed it back, saying "(that's true, but it's not really very notable)"

Not notable? This is homestarwiki! You've got an entire page on the battle of strongbadia, despite the fact that it only applies to one email. And allow me to quote some other character pages...

Homestar: "Though he lacks a visible pair of arms, he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he does have arms, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. "

Bubs: "His facial configuration is puzzling; in Pumpkin Carve-nival, he appears to have a safety pin stuck through his face above an internal ear."

Marsipan: "Like Homestar, Marzipan has no visible arms, though she is able to interact with the world as though she did, being able to pick up and move objects, and even play a guitar. It is generally accepted that either her arms are invisible, or that she has limited telekinetic powers."

Strong Bad:"He has boxing gloves for hands (that always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), and a lucha libre mask for a head [...] Strong Bad may also have a Homestar-like telekinesis"

Um...so yeah. I'm not mad or anything. I just wanted to point out that dangeresque's floating glasses can probably be considered significant if all this other stuff is on the site. (Hey, you could even tie it in with Strong Bad's rumored telekinesis, right?)

In conclusion, sorry this comment was so long. I guess I'll check back on this page later to see if you offer a counter-argument. Thanks for reading!

:First of all, let me say thank you for taking the time to write such a lengthy comment. Why not take a second and [[Special:Userlogin|create an account]]? I agree with you that Dangeresque's glasses do not seem to have anything supporting them (although I suppose one could argue that they are held to his face by tension or even glue). My main problem with noting it on the Dangeresque page is that it really breaks up the flow of that sentence (which is based largely on the [[Dangeresque (theme)|Dangeresque theme]]). In addition, the information isn't really that central to the character; it's more like [[TBC]] just worked in the glasses as best they could given the features of Strong Bad's head. I'm not suggesting that we not note the information ''anywhere''. Perhaps you could put it in the list of [[Lack of Visible Arms#References to Other Apparently Invisible Body Parts|references to other apparently invisible body parts]]. Again, thanks for your note, and welcome to the wiki! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:07, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Just out of curiosity, why did you revert my edits on the HR Wiki article on wikipedia?

P.P.S. I left this message on your account on Wikipedia first, but I decided to put it on both your accounts so that you might get it sooner.

:Actually, you didn't include BazookaJoe. I put him in shortly before removing the list. The reason I took it out is that it's so subjective. What makes a user notable? That list could have easily been four times as long. I decided that it would be better not to have it at all.

It seemed like ''completely'' random trivia until I looked down at the context; "Poughkeepsie" is the destination in Homestar's word problem about trains entering tunnels. I guess this addition was an attempt to explain its significance (otherwise, why should two guys in Atlanta choose it aside from the funny-sounding name?). But if it's reinstated, it would need some rewrite to explain that (so the reader doesn't have to do the same thing I did). —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:07, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
:Meh, I don't see the point of including all that info, especially if there's any kind of link that can be clicked. It's barely mentioned in the toon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:13, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

== Patrolling ==

Perhaps you can clear something up for me? Are all users allowed/encouraged to patroll recent changes, or only those who have committed to the official "recent changes patrol"? [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 03:07, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
:It's not necessary to sign up (although it's nice to know who has committed to the work). I never patrol an edit unless I am pretty sure of (1) the overall content of the article, (2) the intent of the editor, and (3) whether or not the edit is good for the article. (Vandal edits still get marked as patrolled, but the article is immediately reverted. Likewise, edits that add incorrect information are either reverted or reworked as the situation warrants. By marking an edit as patrolled, I am saying either that an edit was good or that I'll fix it.) Hope that helps! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:16, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
::It does. Someday I may sign up for the patrol, but I think I want to observe for a while first. I'm still really new at determining the validity of edits, as my [[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Template:STUFF/senior_prom| recent adventure]] with STUFF demonstrates.

== Even more recent block ==

I was wondering about the IP address you just blocked. I looked at his contributions, and his vandalism wasn't much. At least it didn't deserve a month-long block, in my opinion. So why did you blcok him for that long? Also, how did you know he was using the computer system at that school?

== Recent change of the template that says "do not create this page"==
Absolutely brilliant. I had tried to edit the weather in london before, and it had the normal template. Now it's completely redone, including hatred by Strong Bad. Dot com, you truly do rock. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 01:03, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

== Expanded basic cable ==

Hi. Master Chief has this friend and Masterchief always goes to his house. Yesterday i went to his house and When I went on this site, I saw that he had the same IP as me. So when Master Chief went to his friend's house he created sockpuppets and vandalized the wiki. Now he isn't Master Chief's friend anymore because they got into some fight. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 21:49, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

When I try to get into the "Where's the Cheat?" page from the H*R updates page, it says "no page with that title exists," but when I get into it from the "Toons" section, it works fine. Is there a broken link, or is the problem at my end? [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 14:04, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

:To clarify, the link found at [[H*R.com updates 2002#Tuesday, February 26, 2002]] for [[Where's The Cheat?]] doesn't work, but the one at [[Toons#Big Toons]] does? What's really odd is that the error you're receiving is [[MediaWiki:Nogomatch]], which I thought was only shown when there's no exact match for a search done with the "Go" button. Is that the message you're seeing? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:15, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

::The closest I came to duplicating this problem is to type "Where's The Cheat" (without a question mark) in the search box. It also gives a similar error if you type "Where's The Cheat?"

== When STUFF gets contradicted... ==

Hi, It's dot com. Here's a question that's been on my mind for a very, very long time (4 months):

What happens if we decline a STUFFed reference, thinking that it's unlikely, but then it turns out it was a reference after all? Say, for example, and I'm not saying that it is (even though I admit voting in favor), [[Happy Trogday]] WAS a homage to All Your Base, and that it is confirmed by TBC themselves on, say, the DVD commentary? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:31, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

:Well, we just write a nice letter to TBC explaining how they must be mistaken. Once we vote here, that's the end of it. :) Actually, this has happened several times (none springs to mind right this second, but I'm sure someone will list an example here shortly). In cases like that, we simply overturn our vote and note that TBC said so. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:33, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

:::[[Talk:rampage#I.27m_on_a_Rainbow_.28originally_DECLINED.2C_now_ACCEPTED.29|Here]] is the one example of which I'm aware.

:You have already asked me questions like this two or three times on this page, but I'm still not going to give you a straight answer.

No problem. For some reason that forum wasn't showing as having new messages for me. I know what it's like to be offered a promotion and then have to wait and wait for it to go through (in my case, the whole wiki was locked down for the server move). So I will not tell you to keep your pants on, for real. ;) H*bad, this talk page is not the right venue for a discussion on the promotion. In fact, simply by Joshua's posting here I assume that all the necessary discussion has already taken place. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:05, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Could you check the IPs of Paranormal Idol and HomeTron V20 on the fanstuff wiki? I think they might be the same person. - {{User:Bub/sig}}
:Sorry, but a request for that info would have to come from a fanstuff sysop. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:12, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
::Okay, could you please check the IPs of the following Fanstuff users: [[HRFWiki:User:HomeTron V20|HomeTron V20]], [[HRFWiki:User:Paranormal Idol|Paranormal Idol]], [[HRFWiki:User:Paranormal Idol2|Paranormal Idol2]], [[HRFWiki:User:Paranormal Idol3|Paranormal Idol3]] and [[HRFWiki:User:Ytmnd Boy|Ytmnd Boy]]. Here's the reason. (edited version of reasons written by Bub on [[HRFWiki:User talk:Joshua]].)
::HomeTron V20 was a player on an interactive game which Bub created. HomeTron apparently quit the wiki because his Fake Characters were getting deleted by Joshua (as per a different discussion). A couple of days later, a new user, Paranormal Idol joined the wiki. He then created two new accounts, Paranormal Idol2 and Paranormal Idol3, claiming that he lost the password to his original account. Paranormal Idol3 then joined the same interactive game. After playing it for a while and then dying (in the game), he left the wiki. A few minutes after this, Ytmnd Boy signed up and requested to be in Bub's interactive game using the same character as HomeTron V20. All of these users share the same style of grammar, spelling and the way they transcribe.

::Also, their next game is Sunday, Sunday, Someday. Ok, bye.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 15:14, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

== Interwiki links ==
Hey It's dot com. I need some help with a link, it's [[Meta:Help:User style]]. It works here, but not on the Fanstuff User Preferences. Do you know why this is?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 15:30, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
:It should work now. (I updated and synchronized the knowledge base and fanstuff interwiki tables.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:21, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
::Ok, thanks. Now I can continue to make it more updated like.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 19:24, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

== The latest most recent block ==
Why did you block Strong bad roks!, because it doesn't appear that he did anything wrong.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 19:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
:No, but he was going to. Thanks for your concern. Please look over my talk page here and find every thread with the words "recent block" in the title before posting another thread like this one. Thanks again. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:07, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

== Archives ==
Sorry if my last post was worded rude, mainly because I didn't word it very well. Anyways the reason I bring it up, is because anytime I post something on your talk page it takes forever for it to bring up your talk page.--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 20:21, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
:It's okay, but you should be aware that people generally already know when their talk page has gotten pretty long. Pestering them about it rarely does more than annoy them. If you look at the top of the page, you'll see that I've already archived once before. Maybe I will again someday. Who knows, maybe even soon. There are a lot of other projects I'm working on, however, that require more of my attention right now (like the long-overdue upgrade). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:53, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

== Userpage Fix ==

It seems my userpage is acting up again around the Binary Translations/Harry's Cake List Area. (Just to let you know, The translation up right now is unanswered) {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 17:58, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
:I believe the problem stems from the long string used in the caption. It's so long, the thumbnail cannot go full right, and part of the caption is not visible. Shortening the lines will keep the pic from not being so awkwardly far from the right. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:06, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
::So what, use <nowiki></nowiki> tags? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 18:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I think that'd make the text too small to read. Why not more frequent line breaks? Maybe every 24 characters? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
::::I don't think you see the problem I'm talking about. When I look at my Userpage the side toolbar and everything below Harry's Cake List looks like they have small tags on them {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}}

== Master Chief's name ==

Hey, dot com. How did you know Master Chief's real name was Ryan? That is his real name. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 21:03, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
:Well, Brendan, you'd be surprised what information is out there if you know where to dig. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
::You mean on my talk page's history? {{User:Tampo/sig}} 21:28, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Well, there's that, but he created [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Log?user=!!!!_Ryan_ON_WHEELS! this account] as well. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
::::Well, how'd you know my name? {{User:Tampo/sig}} 21:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::Like you said. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
::::::But you knew my name before I said On my talk page's history. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 21:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::::That's true. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

== Upgrade to 1.6 at the fanstuff wiki ==
Hey, awesome job, you and Tom really work harder than most people notice. The log in page is the best part, though. however, do you think you'll be able to add the poopsmith border again? I'm just wondering if 1.6 can't do that. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:54, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

== Categories ==

Those categories don't belong on your user page. That's why I'm removing them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:You mean the sectionstub? {{User:Tampo/sig}} 16:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
::Quit editing my userpage!! How would you like it if I started removing sentences on your userpage? {{User:Tampo/sig}} 16:08, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::Of course I mean the section stub. Have you not looked at my changes at all? And I'm not removing sentences. I'm removing categories that shouldn't be on a user page. Incidentally, I think you should get your own sig and not copy someone else's. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:11, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
::::When i got edit conflic'd i saw you remove the stub template and a few other things. And I didn't copy someone else's sig, iT'S FOR COOL PERSON OF THE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!! Man, people go crazy about cool person of the month. They're like: <tt>"Get your own sig, You shouldn't copy someone's work,"</tt> iT'S DRiViNG ME NUTZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {{User:Tampo/sig}} 16:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::I wonder if you know that Tom has his finger poised over the block button ''this very second'' because you keep yelling at me. You need to learn what an edit conflict is really showing you. If you check the diffs in the history, you'll notice that I did not remove any of your so-called content. You shouldn't have even been using a section stub to edit your user page anyway. (And you really could have done it all in one edit if you had tried.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:21, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::There is no link on the section stub. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 16:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::::What? (And it really looks like you're copying his sig, not honoring him.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:08, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Cool person of the month is over now. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 01:02, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::Look [[Template:sectionstub|here]]. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 17:12, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::Putting that template on a page causes it to be included in the Section Stubs category. User pages should not be in that category. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::[[User:KB|KB's]] userpage is that category. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 00:55, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::Thanks. I fixed it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:58, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

== Personal Images ==

Hey Tampo. I've noticed that you currently have
[[:Image:BURNiNATOR color.PNG|one]]
[[:Image:Homestarpedia Logo.png|two]]
[[:Image:Irnakk.jpg|three]]
[[:Image:Ultimate Tampo.png|four]] personal images. You can easily check [[Special:Personalimages#T|here]] to see how many personal images you have prior to uploading images in the future. Please mark two of your images for deletion at this time, and keep your limit of two personal images at a time in mind in the future. Thank you. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:53, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
:Hmmmm..... Lets see............... I'll delete all of 'em! {{User:Tampo/sig}} 22:45, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

== I AM VEZOK!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait, what?==
Please don't misuse the ability to have edit summaries. It's just spammming, what you're doing. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
:I'm not spamming. You're the spammer, Spammer. JUST QUiT SPAMMiNG!!!!!!!!!!!!! {{User:Tampo/sig}} 23:10, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
::Anyways you're the one who [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Thunderbird&curid=5785&diff=335411&oldid=165537 vandalized] [[User:Thunderbird|Thunderbird's userpage]]. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 20:09, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
:I'm not spamming, you spaz. And I find it funny how good you are at being irrelevant and wrong at the same time. That wasn't Thunderbird's userpage, that was a redirect to his real one. Since there aren't any userpage redirects allowed, I was obligated to but the <tt>delete</tt> tag there. If you had only cared enough to do anything more than scrap up tiny bits of unreliable evidence against me, you'd have realized that. All I'm saying is that you're kinda spazzing out on your userpage. Don't you want to make it look a bit better? — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:20, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
::''Oh, You're even stupider than I thuoght, '''NERD!''' and I talk like this! and I'm a at five thirty in the morning! And your name is Decaying Corpse!'' Anyway, on [[User:Thunderbird|Thunderbird]]'s userpage, you put down, <code><nowiki>{{delete|No userpage redirects, you bad boy..}}</nowiki></code>, and on his userpage, it clearly said: Redirect: [[User:Thunderbird L17]], '''NERD!''' Anyway about the spam, This whole message, I AM VEZOK!!!!, Was spam. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 11:42, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Tampo, Seriously was right. When Thunderbird joined the Wiki, he created two accounts (according to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:FireBird&diff=prev&oldid=50764 this edit] to FireBird's userpage). Thunderbird's old user page (User:Thunderbird) was made a redirect to [[User:Thunderbird L17]] before the policy of no userpage redirects was implemented. I agree that Seriously's wording on the delete template was a bit harsh, but at the time of writing, the page has already [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=&page=User%3AThunderbird been deleted]. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 11:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
::::Venusy: I was only joking with the whole "bad boy" thing. I didn't eman for it to be harsh. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:34, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

== NSMC ==

Hey Tampo, would you mind removing the uncensored version of the "N-word" from your page? It's censored on every other page the phrase appears on, and it could be considered offensive. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 23:24, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
