== Freebies 1 ==
We need to list all the Freebies you can get with your order. As far as the keychains go, I only know of the Strongbadia Stop sign. --[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

Wierd, cause i only know the homestar one. I have 2 of them. lol Is the strongbadia stopsign shaped like a star also, but with homestar's head replaced with the sign? --[[User:Martin925|Martin925]]

:No, the [[Stop Sign]] keychain looks like the Stop Sign. It is shaped like the Stop Sign. I think it has www.homestarrunner.com on the back, written in white. I've actually lost mine, so I'll have to find it. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 01:23, 22 August 2005 (BST)

I seriously think that they should make plushies of Strong Bad, Homestar and the rest of the dudes, don't you? - [[Miss Free Country USA]]

== Clean up ==
===Re-writing===
This page really needs major work, especially in the updating-to-the-new-page department. I think we could also have a section or maybe another page for the Flash store page that they just recently stopped using.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:57, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, it was done for the [[FAQ]] and the [[Email FAQ]]. Any ideas for the title of the old store page? I was thinking either "Old Store" or "Flash Store". --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 22:10, 23 May 2005 (BST)

Do you want them to be organized (the items) as they are in the store? -- [[User:fahooglewitz1077|[[User:fahooglewitz1077|fahooglewitz1077]] | [[User talk:fahooglewitz1077|Talk]]]] 20:35, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

===Orphaned Image===

Until a new section of this article (or a new article altogether) is created, the following is a screenshot of the "old" flash-based store that is no longer linked to any part of the site. I am including it here so it doesn't get "lost in the shuffle": [[Image:store_screenshot.png|100px]] {{User:The Paper/sig}} 14:18, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

==Easter Eggs==

I'm not seeing this 'Dancing Homestar' easter egg... Is this confirmed? Can it be clarified at all? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:37, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yep. Certainly there. Try using "Tab". {{User:FireBird/sig}}

: It doesn't work on firefox for whatever reason however [[User:super orange!|super orange!]]

Okay, figured that out (used Internet Explorer), but now I'm stuck on the other one. Where can I view the time at Bub's (the other easter egg)? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 12:08, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

:Switch you computer clock to, say, ten o' clock and it will be night at Bubs'. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 12:10, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

:: Just like in [[Population: Tire]]. [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] 14:33, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

::Ah, I see. CLARIFIE'D!!!! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:51, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I looked at some scripts and i found that the ones that can change backrounds have three. The nighttime is displayed between 7pm and 4am, the sunrise/sunset between 4am and 6am, also between 6pm and 7pm, and the rest daytime. So, starting at 12 am, from 12am to 4am nighttime, 4am-6am sunrise, 6am-6pm daylight, 6pm-7pm sunset, and 7pm-12am nighttime. Sunrise and sunset are identical, the ones that change are Bubsness and Song.
Also, this is the first use of my new signature: {{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 21:22, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Oh wait, click the D. I found it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

== Random Troll, Maybe? ==

Why are the lyrics to "The Cheat" written SMACKDAB in the middle of "Out of Production" and "Toys" like someone trolled the page like a brainless n00b? (Not newb, as in a new guy, n00b as in an idiot) [[User:Mashi|Mashi]] 15:40, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

== Transcribed? ==

I'd like to give a whack at transcribing the product descriptions (actually just copy 'n' paste). Would that make the page too cluttery? Maybe we could make a table with the product pictures and descriptions. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 02:35, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

== The last shirt. ==

The last tone on the shirts in the old store... Am I crazy or is that one not actually Homestar? It doesn't sound like a human voice to me.

== Other retailers? ==

Hi all,
I sell H*R stuff in Australia. Would it be appropreate to link my site on the wiki?

I'm not completly sure of wiki-etiquette!

: MAYBE on your User page (if you have one); nowhere else. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:43, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[mailto:store@homestarrunner.com You could ask the Brothers Chaps] to mention your place at their [[HRStore:storelocator.html|store locator]], but right now they only list American and Canadian stores. --[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]] 17:11, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== nothing but products. ==

Proof that Homestarrunner.com is becoming nothing more than a commercial product.
: Uh... it's a Store page... is there a point here I'm missing? I've been seeing a lot of odd comments from regular users here all of a sudden... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:43, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
: Hasn't the Store page been there for years? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:47, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::I don't know about you, but I like the updates once a week. If they didn't have a store, they'd have to get a job and the 'toons would not be released as often. They have to get money from some where! {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 19:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

== Legal Question ==

Can I obtain Strong Bad's face (for example), print it, go to my local T-shirt printer and do my own shirt? It will be only for personal use and I wouldn't make a dime out of this. Is it legal? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 12:50, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

As long as you don't sell it commercially, I don't think. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

:You don't think it's legal, or you don't think it will be a problam? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 02:27, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

No, it's not legal. TBC have given the rights to reproduce their characters to the company that prints their shirts, and producing your own shirt undermines their ability to turn a profit. Now, as long as you don't ''sell'' your shirt (I'm assuming we're talking about ''one'' copy), you probably won't attract much notice. But you asked whether it was legal, not whether you would likely be prosecuted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:40, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:OK, now I get it. Thanks. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:26, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC) (And yeah.. I already made one :P)

==Hey Thanks==

I just found out an easter egg if you buy something at the store. It is called Hey, Thanks! Can someone make an article and make the article. It is a real toon. In order for you to view it, you must buy somethig. If you type in the URL, it has somnething with Strong Bad, instead of Homestar and Marzy. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

:For all who are doubting, he link is [https://secure.homestarrunner.com/heythanks.html], but Strong Bad gives a message about "sneaking in the back door". I have yet to buy something from the real store, so I have not seen the actually "Thanks" toon. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:37, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Ok, here is a link to my recently ordered [https://order.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/wg-thank-you?oid=homestarrunner-297528&vwoidc=61e2b415d863af1129ad&unique=15fcb&vwxide=4145791290.260be04ef173dff8f180f25f1f95278c&catalog=homestarrunner&et=42e166d3&basket=b%3D5C518088d800d68942e158da6dbb0508088d86443ffcf27217b04be1c9c9a8562%26l%3D%26s%3DVADDZWbQ2xhZiERhQCwNGHT1fcU-] figurine thing. Click the continue button. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

:::Cool. And it looks like they use a bit of JavaScript to check where you are coming from on the "heythanks" page. I found five more files from references in the "sneaking in the back door" flash file:
:::#[https://secure.homestarrunner.com/thankyou_celegante.swf thankyou_celegante.swf]
:::#[https://secure.homestarrunner.com/thankyou_bubsness.swf thankyou_bubsness.swf]
:::#[https://secure.homestarrunner.com/thankyou_song.swf thankyou_song.swf]
:::#[https://secure.homestarrunner.com/thankyou_cinnamon.swf thankyou_cinnamon.swf]
:::#[https://secure.homestarrunner.com/thankyou_bonus.swf thankyou_bonus.swf]
:::but I can't figure out if they are supposed to do anything yet or not.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:13, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::So, should we add this as an easter egg, or should we make an article. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

:Tom: those are the direct Flash files for each "thank-you" message- there is more than one. Five, to be exact, if you count the "back door" message. Using Leader's "Continue" link, I've managed to see three of them- all except "cinnamon.swf". {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:05, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: Your computer's clock has to be set to late night to see the "cinnamon" one. Is "bonus" the one with Strong Bad telling you to buy something? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:13, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Jay- "bonus.swf" is the back-door message.
:Anyone- Transcripts of these messages can be found [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=150347&highlight=#150347 here]. Note that I jotted them down quickly, especially "bubsness.swf", so they may be wrong. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:32, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: Transcripts of all but the Bubsness message were already on the Store page. The "celgegante" message appears automatically after you see the "bubsness" message enough times, so I screwed up transcribing the Bubsness message by seeing it too many times. I'm using your version now. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:37, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::Cool. Looks like "song.swf" can be played during the day or at night. Changing my clock to around 11:00 p.m. shows that message at night. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:39, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::: Uh... in my testing, it replaced "celegante" in the same fashion that it replaces "bubsness", and when my clock was set to late at night (later than 11 PM) it ALWAYS gave me cinnamon.swf. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:41, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::Hmm. Must be more than one "late night" toon. Seems as though even if I set my clock late, I still get "song.swf", only at night. I still can't get "cinnamon.swf". {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:43, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::::: That's because you're not setting it late enough. Try 3 AM. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:47, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Ah. Got it. Semi-late night gives you the "song.swf" (at night), and late-late night gives you "cinnamon.swf". Cool. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:50, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: No no no, my clock is (correctly) reading 2:50 PM and I'm getting song.swf. I'm quite convinced that song.swf totally replaces celegante.swf after you see the latter enough times. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:52, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::You're sort of right. It goes in time order: bubsness.swf, celegante.swf, song.swf, song.swf (at night), and then cinnamon.swf. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:54, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::: I think I'm getting a loop. I got Bubsness at night (set to 11:52 PM). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:55, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::: Yeah, it's a loop. Except at late night, it goes Bubness for a few rounds, then Celegante, and then Song, and then it starts over. At late night, it's ONLY Cinnamon. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:56, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::::: Well, further testing is helping nothing—I just went straight from Bubsness to Song. But I am quite convinced that (aside from cinnamon.swf) none of them have anything to do with the time on your clock. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:03, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::::Doesn't look like it. song.swf will play with a night-time background if late enough, though. Cinnamon only plays at night, song will play at night (but not late) or day, and the other two only play in the day. Right? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 20:06, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::::::: Wrong. Like I said, I saw Bubsness at 11:50 PM (it was darkened but otherwise the same.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:10, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Ah. I think I got it. Apparently (as far as we know) celegante can only be seen during the day, song and bubsness can be seen during either, and cinnamon can only be seen at night. Now am I right? :) {{User:FireBird/sig}} 20:14, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: So far, that's as much as we know. Personally, I suspect that Celegante can be seen at not-so-late night, but currently I haven't seen it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:21, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::I think that celegante cam only be accsesed in midday, song and bubsness can only be seen at midday and night, and cinnamon must be after midnight. and I never knew that Strong Bad smoked. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}
:I can't get them to work [[Mini-Trogdor]]

::During the song one, on Marzipan's guitar, it doesn't say Carol on it. Should I put that as one of the goofs or something? --{{User:RJMT/sig}} 01:24, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Flash software==
Speaking of, what's the best software to use to view Flash files directly? I've looked all around this wiki but I've never come across a name. A Google search gives results, but I don't know which one to pick. Pause. Rewind. Fast forward. Resize/Zoom. View source code. See behind the black. Any or all of these features would be preferable. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:19, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
: I can get all of those features except the source code from simply watching the .swf file of any 'toon (we link them on every page.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:23, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: Riiight... but what ''software'' do you use? Do you watch it straight from IE? Firefox? What? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::: IE. Right-click the toon to see all the features. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:28, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::: Yeah, I've been using IE for a ''while'' now to view .swf files, and not being able to jump ahead, or to move forward or backward more than one frame at a time, just isn't cutting it. I need something more advanced. Some people mention a "seek bar", which tells me there is software out there that is better than just plain ol' IE. Is it Flash developer software? Is it expensive? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:51, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
::::: Try [http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/flash.html here] [[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

::::::It's dot com: I use [http://www.eltima.com/products/flashdecompiler/ Flash Decompiler]. The demo doesn't expire. Being just a demo, it doesn't allow you to decompile much, but as a viewer it works great. Oh, and you can see the scripts and inner workings all cool-like.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:14, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::::Thank you Ed and Tom! — [[User:It's dot com|Dot com]] 21:17, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::::About that Flash Decompiler, I know this might seem like a stupid question, but how do u view .swf files on there? --{{User:RJMT/sig}} 22:48, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::::::I can type a URL directly in where the filename would go in the Open dialog box. Otherwise, you could right-click on the link to the Flash file and save it to your computer and then open it locally. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:02, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::Oh, thanx! --{{User:RJMT/sig}} 05:33, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Store Revamp ==

I noticed [[User:mibluvr13|mib]] revamped the article. It looks great, but I think it could use some improvement, especially the "Accesories" section. The pictures stretch the screen on smaller screens, and I think it'd look nice if most, if not all, of the products were tables with the "closeup" feature on all of them. I also don't really like the direct images from the actual Homestar Runner Store. I think they could use some editing (and better quality). If the whole thing was a table, it wouldn't look so cluttered and messy, but easy on the eyes and not as difficult to read. My two cents. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:07, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Freebies ==
What do the freebies look like (particularly the big freebie, the keychain)? --{{User:RJMT/sig}} 22:33, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

The keychain is the basically looks like this [http://groups.msn.com/bkmlb/stuff.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=27 this] and on the back in white writing is homestarrunner.com--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]] 22:46, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:But what about that other one described? --{{User:RJMT/sig}} 22:49, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::The other keychain is the shape of a star. The front has a red border with Homestar Runner in the middle, and the back has three smaller stars with the words "homestarrunner.com" in red writing. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:21, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

They have the Homestar one that is white, shaped like a star, has a picture of homestar on it, a red border, and says the site adress in red on the back. The Strongbadia one is red, shaped like a stop sign (octagon), has the word 'STOP' in white on it, with 'STRONGBADIA, POP: TIRE' in a spraypainted black font written overtop, and has the site adress in white on the back. I don't know of any others! --dayve_57, 1 Oct 2005

Here's a tidbit: on the order confirmation/acknowledgement emails, Big Freebie A is the homestar keychain, and Big Freebie B is the stop sign... I think. I haven't got my order yet but I noticed that I got a different freebie, supposedly... so I think that is how you know which you got. -[[User:Jenny|Jenny]] 21:13, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

:Yup, that's right. And it's now *finally* noted in the newly organized [[Store#Freebies|freebies]] section. Thanks Jenny, sharp eye. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:35, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

== Kick The Cheat coming back? ==

"The Cheat Doll will be back later this month." How do we know this? Is it in the Store somewhere? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 17:28, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== No longer available ==

I know that you have a section for some of the T-shirt that aren't available anymore, but I was thinking that it might be cool to have a section where it says some of the other things that used to be available in the store such as the tattoos and the Strongbadia Floaty Pen. Thanks!

== Ow! My browser! ==

Man, this page kills on slow computers. Maybe we should split up the items, much like [[Sightings]] ("Store T-shirts", "Store Toys", etc.)?

:I agree that this page does look cluttered and we probably should divide this article into muliple pages like T-shirts and Toys.

== Layout stuff ==

I [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Store&diff=226695&oldid=223291 think] there are a couple of layout things that need to be discussed.
#The [[Store#T-Shirts|T-Shirts]] section table looks great except for the Sizes column. Currently, only one row has all the sizes listed and really it looks unsightly. I'd do away with the entire column if it was me and think of a different way of listing these (perhaps an extra <code>colspan</code>'d row below each entry).
#Also, the '''20X6 Stinko Man Shirt!!!''' pictures should have the red '''20X6''' box removed from them.
#I'm not sure what [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Store&diff=226695&oldid=223291 updates] table is referred to here. But tables are generally good.
#It's been discussed or at least mentioned before that this page be broken up. Should it? It's not as big as i thought it was but it sure is sizeable. Regardless, the layout of the products and their description is not yet consistent among sections.

== Cleanup ==

This page needs to be cleaned up. The tables are okay, but it clashes with the other items and descriptions. It needs to be cleaned up, and maybe sorted into subpages. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 12:27, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
:I have posted some of my suggestions [[Talk:Store#Layout_stuff|here]]. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:32, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
::Well I cleaned up the [[Store#Freebies|freebies]] section. That's been bugging me for a long time. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

===Update===

:Okay, I spent quite a while cleaning up the store. How does it look now? If it's good enough, then I'd like to add the id tags like we did with the Floppy Disk Container, and move over the links to the store from the [[H*R.com updates 2000|updates]] series of articles to ones straight to the store page here. Maybe leave the current links straight to the store for now, but since the links get out of dated, I'd like to switch most of them over to a permanent solution here. But I don't want to get started on that unless everybody agrees this page is good enough. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}}

:Well, no opposition here. I'm saying it's cleaned up enough. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:47, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
::Nice Job Thunderbird and you definitely put in lots of work into that page! I do have two questions though: I didn't quite understand what you meant to do when you said you were gonna add id tages like the Floppy Disk container to change some links... what links specifically were you going to change? Can you provide examples? Also, there's still open the suggestion of breaking this into several pages. What you think? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
:::I just timed how long it took Firefox to load this page over dial-up (I noticed it was takaing a while, so I pressed Ctrl+Shift+R with one eye on the clock) and it took 10:41. That's in mm:ss. That's ridiculous. Some of these images could probably benefit from PNG optimization. Argh! MS Paint in WinME can't do that. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 04:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

== Stinkoman ringer ==

Why was the Stinkoman ringer t-shirt discontinued shortly after it was out?

Not sure. Maybe it didn't sell very much. {{User:Seriously/sig}} 17:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

== Homsar update (update..'d) ==

Just a small update on the Homsar t-shirt. I contacted the store about it. They don't plan to reprint it ''until enough people request it'':
<pre>We will count your email as a "vote" for bringing back the Homsar T-shirt.</pre>
So, I'm just a friendly reminder. If more people want the Homsar shirt, [mailto:store@homestarrunner.com go tell 'em].

''Status update''
<pre>He'll be back again around the end of March.</pre>
'nuff said.

== Collaborative Community Project ==

It's been awhile since we've done a community project, but I think it's about time for another one. I've been wanting to work on Store for a long time, so I thought this would be a good way to get something done with it. A couple of things that need to be done:

==={{done}} Images===
All of the images now follow the [[HRWiki:Image use policy|image use policy]].

==={{done}} Updating [[HRWiki:Userbox]] and [[Flash Store]] ===
Both [[HRWiki:Userbox]] and the [[Flash Store]] have been updated with the correct images.

==={{done}} Different pages for each type of product===
This is what I've been wanting to do for a long time. Instead of one massive Store article, I think it'd be nice to have different pages for each type of article: <nowiki>[[Store T-Shirts]], [[Store Toys]],</nowiki> etc. This would make [[Store]] much shorter, and it'd be easier to keep up with and archive the different descriptions for each product, which change around some. This is just an idea, of course, and I'd like to see some different opinons on it.

If you have any other ideas, feel free to suggest them here as well. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 06:05, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

: I went ahead and started editing the page based on your suggestion. Is this what you were thinking of, or did I screw up? -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 03:02, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

::Good work, juys! {{User:FireBird/sig}} 03:43, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

==={{done}} ID Tags===

Don't forget, many of the id tags are linked to from various parts of the site, especially [[H*R.com updates 2006|H*R updates]]. Make sure you either leave them be, or update their links. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:05, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

:I think this will be the last thing we need to do. If we can knock this out, I think we'll be done! {{User:FireBird/sig}} 13:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
::What do these things ''do''? I've been trying to figure that out, but am stumped. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 18:01, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
:::For linking to a specific part of a table, for instance the Floppy Disk Container. Compare [[Floppy Disk Container]] to [[Floppy Disk Container#tongue of the fatman]] or [[Floppy Disk Container#spy vs spy]]. Usually we can use section breaks (<nowiki>== Section or ===Section===</nowiki>), but in the case of tables we need to "id tag them" so we can link to a specific point. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:38, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

== Official store in Atlanta? ==

I was headed to Atlanta this week and assumed there would be a store (or retailer) in their hometown. Is there any place there that sells merchandise?
:The homestarrunner.com store licenses select independent retail establishments to sell some of their merchandise based on [[HRStore:reop.html|these conditions]].

== Amazon.com ==

I noticed a few [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] items for sale on [http://amazon.com Amazon.com]:
*[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009811ZG B0009811ZG] [[strongbad_email.exe]] (for $25.99; in the [[Store]] it's "Reg. price: $29.95 Sale price: $26.96")
*[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BB7C1S B000BB7C1S] [[strongbad email.exe Disc Four]] (for $10.99; in the Store it's "Reg. price: $12.00 Sale price: $10.80")

Type the code in the "Coupon or Promotional Code" box during checkout and $3.00 will be deducted from your merchandise total of $30.00 or more.

== Homsar shirt preview ==

I was just browsing the store when I noticed that the preview for the Homsar shirt was in a Flash file. Namely, [[Videlectrix:storeflash/shirt_homsar.swf|here]]. It's pretty weird that it's hosted on the Videlectrix site, and not on the main one, or the Yahoo store. Anyways, does anybody know when it was added, and if so, how and where do we mention it? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:46, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

::The shirt was re-introduced in Nov 2007, according to [[Store T-shirts]]. Whether that Flash file was there then or not, I don't know.

== Bad Math ==
Currently, the store lists the Strong Bad overkill combo as being '''$63.95''' separately. I don't know about anyone else, but I do the math as follows: Strong Bad Emails 3 Disc DVD Set '''$29.95 +''' Strong Bad Emails Disc 4 DVD '''$12 +''' Strong Bad Emails Disc 5 DVD '''$12 +''' Strong Bad Sings CD '''$12 = $65.95'''. I don't quite know how to phrase a goof like this, so I invite some talented soul to do so. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 04:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
:It's a common practice to throw in a small discount on combo packs in stores to sell the items... otherwise, why buy the combo, instead of just buying the individual items? -[[User:StarLion|StarLion]] 15:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
::Wait... reread your post, and think I may have the answer... it's '''still''' a goof, though!

Still a goof, but just a 5 instead of a 6. -[[User:StarLion|StarLion]] 15:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I got this response from the Customer Support team over at the store:
<tt><blockquote>The "$63.95 Separately" price was for during the holidays when the CD was on sale for $10. We forgot to change it once the sale was over. Thanks for letting us know.</blockquote></tt>

So... there's the mystery solved! -[[User:StarLion|StarLion]] 16:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

:No, but it's got the 'Come on in heeeere!' quote for October. Another thing about October is that the order of two of Homsar's costumes are switched around. It claims he's Slash in 2002 and Ghost Dog in 2003, but it's the other way around.--[[User:HRWiki Greg|FIFTH GREG! HRWiki Greg]] 19:23, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

== New update for March ==

I noticed that the store page now says, "Since it's March already"... this page says that the last update says, "Since it's February already"... Signs of life from TBC, but once agin, only in the store :(. Should we add a new update paragraph to reflect this?--[[User:Bauerman24|Bauerman24]] 08:33, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

==Transcript==
''{Short opens with pan down to the field. Cut to a close-up of the Tragic Clown Dog's face. Zoom out to a medium shot of Strong Bad's face visible in an open flap of the costume, taking a drag off what appears to be a cigarette and exhaling audibly. Coach Z, wearing the Drive-Thru Whale costume, enters screen right.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, hey there, fellow mascot! I didn't know you was the smokin' type!

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whisperingly}'' Shh! I'm not! ''{normally}'' But Bubs only gives me one of each kind of break. I've already used pee, coffee, and maternity leave today. And this is a white crayon.

''{Cut to a medium shot. Homestar Runner enters screen left, wearing the Jolly Dumple costume.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What is up, my fellow sweat factories?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, I didn't know ''you'' were working today.

''{Close up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, it's freshman orientation. I'm in charge of orienting them freshly!

''{Cut to Homestar in the field with the CGNU tower visible in the back, and silhouettes of freshmen in the front. The words of Homestar's song are show at the bottom of the screen, with a ball bouncing as sings each word.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' You're gonna have to 
share a bafroom 
with some kid from Alabama 
that kinda sucks. 
The financial aid office 
is closed on Tuesdays 
and steer clear of the 
beef stroganoff at the 
dining hall!

''{Close-up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' C! G! N! ...U! ''{whispering}'' And then, and then you guys all say "Me?"

''{Cut back to medium shot.}''

'''FRESHMEN:''' ''{mumbling}'' No way, no way.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, that's good, that's good. ''{dancing, quietly}'' We got spirit!

''{Cut back to Homestar and Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' At least you get college kids! I got little snot-butted kids messing with my costume all day!

''{Pan over to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I used to have that prablem, too, but now I just swallow 'em up and spit 'em out in the baall baath! ''{throws several colored balls out from the mouth of his costume}''

''{Close-up of Coach Z. The top of his costume gains and loses bumps as an unseen child stuck in the costume knocks on it.} ''

'''CHILD:''' Mommy! Mommy! I don'— can't see!

'''COACH Z:''' Oop! Looks like I forgot one. He'll be fine for at least a week.

''{Cut back to medium shot of all three.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, where's Pom Pom, anyway?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, P-squared's not in the union. He doesn't even get a break.

''{Cut a low shot of Pom Pom strapped to the roof of Bubs' Concession Stand, with a sign that reads "RIGHT CAR! RIGHT PPICE!" }''

'''BUBS:''' What is wrong with you? Attract more customers! ''{Cut to an inflatable gorilla with glasses behind the [[Gremlin]] with a sign that reads "YOUR TEXT HERE!"}'' That gorilla's pulling his own!

''{Cut back to a close-up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sniffing}'' Man, what ''is'' that smell?

''{Cut to a shot of all three}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Homestar, we're three grown men working in mascot costumes in the dead of summer! What ''isn't'' that smell? ''{close up of Strong Bad}'' I can name about forty different odors emanating from this thing right now. There's death, rot, decay—

''{Cut to close up of Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Damp, moist, kimchi!

''{Cut to a close up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holding yellow alarm clock, which rings once}'' Ah! It's time. ''{shot of all three}'' Let's do this.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Homestar and Coach Z walk off}'' Ugh, not again....

''{Cut to a close-up of a speaker on a wooden pole}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' That's right, ladies and gentlemen! ''{Cut to a shot of The Announcer in the booth}'' For your between-inning unjoyment, it's the Bumbling Mascot Race Around the Field!

''{Matt and Mike sing "Yakety Sax" while Coach Z, Homestar, and Strong Bad randomly move around a baseball diamond.}''

''{Cut to the inflatable gorilla with a sign that reads "The Ending Here!"}''

'''MATT:''' Does it end different?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Let's do it again.

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on the Gorilla's mouth at the end to see an animation of a video game with the mascots.
*:''{A black screen with "GAME START!" appears. The mascots run around on platforms and ladders, referencing the old video game 'Burger Time', while Mike and Matt hum the theme music. Eventually, Mike stops humming. "GAME OVER" flashes on screen.}''
*:'''MATT:''' Go longer.
*:''{Mike starts and stops again}''
*:'''MATT:''' No, I mean you stopped longer.

*Click on the word "Here!" at the end to see Homestar and Coach Z (as Poppy and Stoppy, respectively, from [[theme park]]) have a conversation at Mount Ridesplace, USA. Music plays and a pink border is present.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, these mascot costumes in Strong Bad's imagination are ''way'' better than the real-life ones!
*:'''COACH Z:''' Boy, I'll say! Mine's got a minibar and air conditionin'!
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My ol' Dumple costume had air conditioning. It conditioned the air to think it smelled like... dead zut.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Kimchi|Kimchi]] is a pickled Korean dish made with beef stock, cabbage, and hot peppers, and is known for its distinctive pungent smell and mildly spicy taste.
*Mascots or other costumed figures are featured at [[Wikipedia:Sausage Race|several]] [[Wikipedia:Presidents Race|ballparks]] racing around the field between innings during baseball games.

===Remarks===
*The collar and tie on Strong Bad's costume have been moved down since their last appearance, to make room for the door.
*Although Strong Bad denies being a [[Smoking|smoker]], he's been seen smoking a cigar in [[Store Thank You Message]].
**In consideration that the costumes are likely made from [[Polymascotfoamalate]], smoking in one would be potentially dangerous (more so than usual), as seen in [[4 branches]].
*Strong Bad indicates that the three of them are grown men; a rare clue as to [[Ages of Characters|their relative ages]].
*Just as it was in [[Blubb-O's Commercial]], the Gremlin's passenger-side window is completely opaque and gray.
*Whe the scene cuts back to the three mascots after the gorilla balloon, the "ball bath" balls have disappeared.
*When Strong Bad runs around at the end of the toon and in the Easter egg, the door on his costume [[Flipped Images|switches sides]] whenever he turns around. However, the animation in these sequences seems to be intentionally poor.
*Even though Strong Bad says his "cigarette" is a white crayon, its tip seems to be smoking for some reason.
*Strong Bad has a much easier time walking in his costume than he did in [[part-time job]].

===Goofs===
*When Homestar is holding his alarm clock, there is a very thin white gap between the black border and the bottom of the green background.
*As Homestar walks away from Strong Bad, he vanishes shortly before he has walked completely offscreen.
*The sign on Pom-Pom says "Right ppice" instead of "right price".

===Inside References===
*The various costumes:
**Strong Bad appears as the [[Tragic Clown Dog]], seen in [[part-time job]]. (At the end of that email, however, he quit working for Bubs.)
**Coach Z appears as the [[Drive-Thru Whale]], from [[Blubb-O's Commercial]].
**Homestar once more wears his [[Jolly Dumple]] costume, first seen in [[mascot]]. (The sing-along style of Homestar's song, as well as the ending, are also references to this email.)
**In an Easter egg, Coach Z and Homestar appear as [[Strong Bad's Mount RidesPlace! USA#Mascots|Poppy]] the [[Tire]] and [[Strong Bad's Mount RidesPlace! USA#Mascots|Stoppy]] the [[Stop Sign]], who appeared in [[theme park]].
*The pink border in the [[Mount Ridesplace, USA]] Easter egg is from [[dreamail]].
*Strong Bad [[Smoking|smokes]] a white [[crayon]].
*The background music for Homestar's orientation song is the version of the CGNU Fight Song played by a high school band that was featured as the [[Quote of the Week#QW-2006-02-09|Quote of the Week]] on February 9, 2006.
*Strong Bad mentions "[[Peeing|pee]], [[coffee]], and [[Pregnancy|maternity leave]]" as the types of breaks he has taken that day.
*Homestar mentions [[sucks]] during his song.
*Coach Z mentions his smells as being [[moist]].
*"Kids from Alabama" were previously mentioned in [[An Important Rap Song]].

===Real-World References===
*The instrumental "[[Wikipedia:Yakety Sax|Yakety Sax]]" is sung while the mascots race around the Athletic Field.
*The Easter egg activated by clicking the gorilla's mouth is a parody of [[Wikipedia:BurgerTime|BurgerTime]].
*The [[page title]] is a reference to the band [[Wikipedia:Thinking Fellers Union Local 282|Thinking Fellers Union Local 282]].
*When the kid shouts "Mommy! I don- can't see!", it may be a reference to the 1982 film [[Wikipedia:Poltergeist (film)|Poltergeist]], when Carol Anne shouts the same thing from inside another dimension.

''{Then the cover of the second book zooms in "The Homestar Runner In: Where My Hat Is At?" "A Book Story"}''

''{The book opens to the first page of the original book, with a crudely drawn Homestar in a star}''

'''CAPTION:''' Everyone loves the Homestar Runner. He is a terrific athlete.

''{crossfades to a modern Homestar (sans hat) in a green star on a blue background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If there are two things I know about the Homestar Runner, it's that everybody loves the him ''and'' he's a terrific athlete.

''{page turn to reveal Marzipan sitting on her couch, and Homestar coming in screen left}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Marzipan! I'm off to the big game!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, where's your hat, Homestar?

''{close-up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm sorry, I couldn't understand what you just said.

''{close-up of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{annoyed}'' I said, "Where's your hat?".

''{reverse to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, you're not even speaking English at this point.

''{reverse to Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{sighs, resigned}'' I mean, where your hat is at, Homestar?

''{reverse to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, good question! Without my hat, I won't be allowed to play in the ''big'' game.

''{cut to a shot of Marzipan and Homestar}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{annoyed}'' Well good! Then you can start mowing the lawn and—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let's look under the couch!

''{Homestar lifts the end of the couch, tossing Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{screams}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It isn't under the couch.

''{page turn to reveal Homestar standing next to the [[TeeBee]] in his living room, wearing a monocle.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{faux British accent}'' Or, on top of the teleset, governor!

''{push wipe from the bottom: close up of Homestar on a spinning blue background. The words appear as he says them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Where my hat is at?

''{cut to Homestar emerging from the pool wearing a snorkeling mask, displacing a beach ball.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whew! It's not in the pool. ''{closer shot}'' But I did find this Strong Sad brand concrete block!

''{Strong Sad appear, encased in cement, with both of his eyes bloodied}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Thanks for saving me, mister! Can I obsess over you now?

''{zoom out to reveal Strong Bad and The Cheat standing on the side of the pool, wearing fedoras.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of all the dumb luck in the world!

''{page turn to reveal Homestar opening the lid to The King Of Town's grill, revealing a piece of meat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It isn't cooking on the grill? ''{reverse}'' Man, I really thought it'd make complete sense if my non-edible hat would be cooking on a food grill!

''{push wipe left: Homestar on the blue background}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Where my hat is at?

''{cut to Homestar at a mailbox, wearing a driving cap.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bangers and mash! It isn't in the post box either!

''{page turn to Homestar underneath a red car in the garage}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Or under this auto that I always all the time drive around. ''{pause}'' And call an auto.

''{push wipe left: Homestar on the blue background}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Where my hat is at?

''{cut to Homestar standing with Pom Pom on a pitching mound. Pom Pom has a cap on and is holding an 8-ball.}''

''{cut back to the wider shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! How about a trade? You let me borrow your hat, I let you borrow my jock.

'''POM POM:''' ''{angry bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, never mind!

''{page turn to close up of Coach Z in the locker room}''

'''COACH Z:''' You lost a prat of your uniform!?

''{wider shot of Coach Z and Homestar, who is looking embarrassed}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, it's like I always say. A man's uniform ''{cross fade to [[The Chalkboard]], which has a hat drawn on it and is embellished as Coach Z speaks}'' is like a temple, wherein he keeps his uniform when he's not using it.

''{Chalkboard is pushed up to a two shot of Coach Z and Homestar. Homestar looks annoyed.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, are you suggesting that my hat is inside my hat?

'''COACH Z:''' No, I'm suggesting that—

''{close up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well good, 'cause I already looked and it's not there.

''{page turn to Bubs' Concession Stand. Homestar is standing outside, and the sign reads "Candy"}''

'''BUBS:''' Shrug. I haven't seen it! ''{close-up of Bubs}'' Nobody's tried to sell me any stolen hats this half hour!

''{cut back to the wider shot.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{lifts up Marzipan's pony tail}'' I do have this stolen wig, though.

''{page turn to The Umpire and Homestar, standing at home plate}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' If you can't find your hat, you're not allow to play in the ''big game''!

''{close up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{annoyed}'' Um, yeah, we sorta established that in the first scene. ''{happier}'' But thanks anyway.

''{page turn to Homestar kicking a soup can}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{distraught}'' Looks like I won't be able to play, then.

''{cut to a shot of Homestar walking down a road, with his shadow reaching towards the horizon and sky gradually turning to orange.}''

''{cut to Homestar in his kitchen next to the refrigerator.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly}'' I could really go for a few Cold Ones right about now.

''{reverse shot from inside the fridge, with hat in the foreground}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hmm, it feels like something is strange here... but I can't seem to put my finger on—

''{cut to Homestar with the swirling blue background}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{excitedly}'' There my hat is at!

''{cut to a slow zoom to the hat in the fridge}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right between the milk and the Colden Ones.

''{cut to wider shot of Homestar at the fridge. Homestar takes out the hat, closes the door and puts the hat on his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I must've left it in there when I put my hat in the fridge. ''{Homestar comes close to the camera}'' If I hurry, I can still make it the ''big game''! ''{Homestar runs off screen left}''

''{cut to a silhouette on a yellow background of Homestar running while drinking a Colden One}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Glug glug glug glug glug glug glug.

''{cut to Homestar coming in screen right in front of The Umpire. Homestar leaps onto home plate.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yay!

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Uh, what are you doing?

''{close up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I found my hat just in time to score the winning run.

''{close up of The Umpire}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' ''{annoyed}'' Uh, no, actually it's the bottom of the second, your team's down by 94 points, and you just illegally ran onto the field!

''{wider shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Get this, it was between the milk and the Cold Ones!

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Yeah, yeah, you need to head back to the dugout before I toss you out of here, buster!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, Mr. Umpire, you sure have a funny way of pronouncing—

''{push wipe down; Homestar in a green star on a blue field. Homestar pulls out The Local Newspapes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Runner's team wins!

'''THE UMPIRE:''' ''{off-screen}'' Yeah, you're suspended from the league. ''{Homestar looks disappointed}''

''{black screen with white text: "here the end is at!"}''

I added that fun fact because it is a little odd that Blue Laser would tell his minion to add something that has already been added, especially since Blue Laser appears to be staring at the list as he says it. I would think this merits some fun fact-ness. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 22:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I've created a new template at [[Template:Talkheader]]. I was wondering if you were any good at Wiki code, because I'm having three issues with it. Once the box is finished, I'd like to customize it to the Homestar Runner Wiki. Also, if this is redundant, let me know. [[User:Son|Son]] 16:35, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
:Hey there, i'm actually curious what all these templates you're creating are for. We tend not to create templates without extensive discussion. I get the talkheader one, but not the others. (Also, there's better ways to put headers on all pages of a namespace than templates, and such a thing is best left up to the site developers.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:36, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks for tagging those. I wholesale copied the Talkheader template from Wikipedia. In the process, it had these other templates layered in it. In my tired idiocracy, I tried to build those as well. It was becoming hopelessly complicated. At that point, I at least moved them into my userspace, though it's probably a lot simpler to just delete those in the first place. I thought that perhaps a talkheader would be a nice improvement to the site. I probably should have put in a request some where. If that's the case, I'll keep that in mind for the future. [[User:Son|Son]] 16:47, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, i can tag the remaining ones in your user space for deletion if you want. As for the talk page header, we already have something sort of like it, {{tl|talk}}. It might be worth expanding and seeing if the devs want to have mediawiki automatically add it to the top of every talk page. I certainly would support the idea, your template makes it very clear what talk pages are for, and it might be good to have a short list of talk page rules there. I think i'll bring it up with the devs and get back to you on it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:52, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

== tt ==

I looked up what < tt > means...
From [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT#Computing_and_electronics Wikipedia]:
An HTML element for teletype or a monospace font family, e.g. <tt>monospace</tt>.
I'm guessing it's something that standardizes fonts if people use different skins in their preferences.

Hope this was of interest to you. It was to me when I saw you wondered (what I'm sure was probably more rhetorical than less...), so I looked it up. Thought I'd spread the word!
[[User:Son|Son]] 18:36, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I can't tell any change between the post you did and the way MichaelXX2 "fixed" it for you. Can you explain the difference, just for the sake of someone unfamiliar with wiki syntax? -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.140|132.183.140.140]] 23:44, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
:Sure. when putting "subst:" before a template, it will replace, or SUBSTitute, the template call for the actual code contained therein. For example, if i have a template named "example" that contains "This is a sample template", if i were to write "<nowiki>{{example}}</nowiki>" somewhere, then when i go to edit the page, it'll still say "<nowiki>{{example}}</nowiki>" in that spot on the edit page. If i wrote "<nowiki>{{subst:example}}</nowiki>" instead, it would instead have "This is a sample template" written. Outwardly, the pages would look identical, only in the code does it matter. I hope that answers your question, cause i don't know how to make it any clearer. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:51, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

This is the award.

== Different opinion ==
Yeah, so I thought I made a valuable contribution to the Homestar email toon article, I even went through the legwork of doing the necessary research to make everything authentic. Boy was I cheesed off to see it deleted within seconds! It took me a few days to do the trackdown, and it pointed to you. I was REALLY cheesed off until I went to your home page, and then I saw why you deleted said additions. I thought my contributions were significant. Heck, I never write ANYTHING online without first considering if it will be worthwhile or just internet poop, whether this note be a Facebook note or a blog. But after reading your page on what you think good content is, especially regarding pop culture references, I understood why you removed them. Yes, I will stand by my post. I still think it was important information. But I've had limited exposure to pop culture as a whole, so it's likely that the information I supplied could be found in a hundred places. And you feel that a reference to a concept (a reference that can come from a dozen sources) is unnecessary to mention. I agree. It just hurt to see my first post wiped out in seconds. --[[User:Bauerman24|Bauerman24]] 04:18, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
:I'm not entirely sure what edit you're referring to, as you seem to have not made any edits with your account before this one, but i assure you that i meant no offense by reverting. For a long time I've said that we need a mechanism to revert edits while still letting people know that their contributions are welcome, but unfortunately such a thing would be tedious and annoying to do, as we often get anonymous users who make one-time edits that aren't worth keeping. But anyway, would you mind clarifying to which edit you are referring? Whatever it is, i'd be glad to discuss it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:39, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
I did the edit before I had a real account, so I just showed up as an IP [I KNEW you were going to look! haha]. The address WAS [[97.89.178.220]]. Probably the last one, but I don't know how to link to the history page or anything. I'm still new to this whole "edit-a-wiki" thing.

Like I said, I read why you remove posts like mine [even though I didn't know I was referring to common phenomena at the time]. I can't stand wasteful or poorly-written posts. I've edited a fair share of run-on sentence posts. So, thank you for keeping your wiki cleaned up and informative. These things can get bloated with junk fast.

Thanks for being understanding about it. I don't expect to see my work back up. In fact, I'd prefer it stay down, in the interest of an accurate, more concise wiki. Again, thanks for understanding and reading my concerns. I only hope that I can contribute some useful information to this wiki in the future. --[[User:Bauerman24|Bauerman24]] 04:55, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I've created a new template at [[Template:Talkheader]]. I was wondering if you were any good at Wiki code, because I'm having three issues with it. Once the box is finished, I'd like to customize it to the Homestar Runner Wiki. Also, if this is redundant, let me know. [[User:Son|Son]] 16:35, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
:Hey there, i'm actually curious what all these templates you're creating are for. We tend not to create templates without extensive discussion. I get the talkheader one, but not the others. (Also, there's better ways to put headers on all pages of a namespace than templates, and such a thing is best left up to the site developers.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:36, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks for tagging those. I wholesale copied the Talkheader template from Wikipedia. In the process, it had these other templates layered in it. In my tired idiocracy, I tried to build those as well. It was becoming hopelessly complicated. At that point, I at least moved them into my userspace, though it's probably a lot simpler to just delete those in the first place. I thought that perhaps a talkheader would be a nice improvement to the site. I probably should have put in a request some where. If that's the case, I'll keep that in mind for the future. [[User:Son|Son]] 16:47, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, i can tag the remaining ones in your user space for deletion if you want. As for the talk page header, we already have something sort of like it, {{tl|talk}}. It might be worth expanding and seeing if the devs want to have mediawiki automatically add it to the top of every talk page. I certainly would support the idea, your template makes it very clear what talk pages are for, and it might be good to have a short list of talk page rules there. I think i'll bring it up with the devs and get back to you on it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:52, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I looked up what < tt > means...
From [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT#Computing_and_electronics Wikipedia]:
An HTML element for teletype or a monospace font family, e.g. <tt>monospace</tt>.
I'm guessing it's something that standardizes fonts if people use different skins in their preferences.

Hope this was of interest to you. It was to me when I saw you wondered (what I'm sure was probably more rhetorical than less...), so I looked it up. Thought I'd spread the word!

:Sure. when putting "subst:" before a template, it will replace, or SUBSTitute, the template call for the actual code contained therein. For example, if i have a template named "example" that contains "This is a sample template", if i were to write "<nowiki>{{example}}</nowiki>" somewhere, then when i go to edit the page, it'll still say "<nowiki>{{example}}</nowiki>" in that spot on the edit page. If i wrote "<nowiki>{{subst:example}}</nowiki>" instead, it would instead have "This is a sample template" written. Outwardly, the pages would look identical, only in the code does it matter. I hope that answers your question, cause i don't know how to make it any clearer. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:51, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

:::You are correct of course, i'm guilty of it too. I wasn't complaining about the summary per se, i was just asking for a clarification. Everyone makes vague summaries sometimes... 02:13, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

*Yeah, so I thought I made a valuable contribution to the Homestar email toon article, I even went through the legwork of doing the necessary research to make everything authentic. Boy was I cheesed off to see it deleted within seconds! It took me a few days to do the trackdown, and it pointed to you. I was REALLY cheesed off until I went to your home page, and then I saw why you deleted said additions. I thought my contributions were significant. Heck, I never write ANYTHING online without first considering if it will be worthwhile or just internet poop, whether this note be a Facebook note or a blog. But after reading your page on what you think good content is, especially regarding pop culture references, I understood why you removed them. Yes, I will stand by my post. I still think it was important information. But I've had limited exposure to pop culture as a whole, so it's likely that the information I supplied could be found in a hundred places. And you feel that a reference to a concept (a reference that can come from a dozen sources) is unnecessary to mention. I agree. It just hurt to see my first post wiped out in seconds.
