Okay heres a message. Hi. You're on facebook too, huh... I'm so badly addicted to that site, and this site, and fanstuff, and homestarrunner.com... ok, so I barely get off the puter all day 'cept for classes, and barely for homework. Oh well. Oh, and flash... i'm addicted to flash. Maybe someday i'll be almost as famous as TBC for somethin in flash... like when pigs fly... but you never know. Get autographs now while they're cheap! Oh, cwap... I think maybe I wasn't supposed to put this here? Sorry. -[[User:Jenny|Jenny]]

* Cool! Wow! My first serious contribution! check out: [[The Geddup Noise]]. It's not yet complete, and it definitely it a lot of work! But all These guys you see in the history have worked hard at getting this list right! Amazing how much goes into one little article! I'm tired. I need to go back to the world of responsability again :(. Take care ppl! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:32, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)
**Great job with that article! ^-^ You and Joshua did great with it (although I helped. A little). Good luck with future articles too. I might suggest making note of it on your actual user page too, along with the talk page. (I like it on the talk page, though. It lets people--like me--give random and well-deserved congratulations.) In closing, keep up the nice work. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
***Thank you for the kind comment DorianGray! You have a wonderful night! :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:50, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Geocities ==

If your website is hosted by geocities free then how you get a domain??? {{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 08:06, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Hehe! It's a secret! Actually, it's a little thing called domain parking! You register your domain (you gotta pay for that part) and "park it" -- you don't buy hosting. Many sites will offer free website redirection and will mask the real address (this is what I do). <s>Two</s> A good place is [http://www.godaddy.com godaddy.com] which is dirt cheap and offers lots of features, and is the only registrar I use at this moment. <s>and [http://www.namesdirect.com/ names direct] which offers a couple (not really that many) of other features but at a greater expense per year</s>. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 14:02, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::How much do you pay??? {{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 05:58, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

:::Well, the geocities page is one of their free ones (hence the ads and the limit on web space and traffic -- but mine's not a very big and important page so I don't care about that). All I pay for is the domain -- this one runs at about $40/year, while another one I have is $14/year and both include "domain protect" which keeps my personal information private in the Whois Database. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 06:02, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

::::Well. This is awesome. {{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 06:28, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

''UPDATE: I am no longer a customer of namesdirect nor do I trust that company that much anymore. I have since switched exclusively to GoDaddy.'' --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:31, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

== Jackie C. ==

Just so you know, Jackie C. is [[Jackie Chapman]], Matt's wife.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 15:42, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:OOOOOHH! Why thank you very much! Very, very much! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:45, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Your very welcome!--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 15:46, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Subpages ==

Hey Stux. I notice you have some stuff on this page that isn't really talk. My guess is that you don't want it on your main user page. May I suggest a subpage? Perhaps "User:Stux/to-do". You're allowed to have subpages for projects you're working on and other things that further the goals of the wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:36, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Cool! Thanks for the tip! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:38, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I adjusted the formatting on the email table to the wiki format, which hopefully will make it easier for you to use. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:18, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Gray backgrounds ==

Oh! You were so close! When you first started uploading those, I looked to check them out, and realized that they were going to be very good. I was gonna leave you a note on your talk page, but when I noticed how fast you were uploading, I decided not to mess up the beauty of your string of edits. I can't believe you got all the way to 3 before it was interrupted... Man! And, before I forget to say it in all my ramblings, good jorb! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:LOL! Why thank you very much Hamstring, er Homegrown, er It's dot com! I didn't even see the string of edits uuntil I refreshed my Recent Changes tab... Wow! I got lucky that there was a lull too! Hehe I'm glad you liked the edits! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:53, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::BTW I learned from the best! I noticed you and BazookaJoe going at it with those page deletions earlier today! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:58, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the congradulations. :){{User:Pertmywert/sig}} 21:08, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Finally I found it! ==

[[Image:RabidTheCheat.png|thumb]]
I really didn't look for it, but the other day I really wanted to post this picture in my user space. I finally found it and I'm posting it. It pretty much describes how I've been feeling all week. Meh!
--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:05, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Kudos for whoever made the template <code><nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki></code> found here [[Template:clear]]. Even '' '''THAT''' '' i had to dig for again cuz it didn't occur to me to bookmark it or copy it to my page. Oh well. Hope everyone has a good weekend!
{{clear}}
[[Image:strongbadsweater.PNG|thumb|left| Much better!]]
I feel better and more relaxed now!
{{clear}}

== In the news... ==

I think I will no longer be reading my current news from regular, hyped up news franchises, but instead from a '''truly''' unbiased ''(relatively speaking)'' source like the [[Wikipedia:Main_Page|Wikipedia]]. Case in point:
*The [[Wikipedia:2005_Indian_subcontinent_earthquake|2005_Indian_subcontinent_earthquake]] is a very recent, tragic event. This article on the wiki has been published the same day of the event. It cites the [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4321490.stm BBC] article among others, and you can tell the night and day difference in tone, sensationalism and objectivity. Wow.
* How I long for jounalists to attain the same level of true objectivity as encyclopedia writers are required ('''this''' wiki is a great example, beleive it or not). My apologies to those who are in the journaling business and also contribute/read the wiki. I am not trying to offend anyone but rather to make an observation.
* In the meantime I will keep the people in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India in prayer.
--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:07, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Well it turns out there is a [http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page Wiki News] project out there already! It's early so I haven't read the articles, so I can't render a verdict. Good day all! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 13:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

== Wha? ==
What are you talking about with "Thanks for catching my little swappage in the Stinkoman page"? [[User:Seek Bar|Seek Bar]]

==Stress==
Stux, what are those recent templates for? We have those images uploaded. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:57, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

:The [[User_talk:Stux/Stress_Template|templates]] are meant for "easy coding" for the stress level images (they link to them directly), that way people just need to change the level simply by changing the stress level number. I wanted to try it out and see if people would like to use that for their pages. If they are too much trouble I can remove them. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:01, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

::No trouble at all. Just curious. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 01:07, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

== Heh ==

I caught that ''Robin Hood: Men in Tights'' edit summary. That's what it was, right? Anyway, I love that movie. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 17:04, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
:Lol! Awesome! Yup! that's right! Only that it's actually "D-E-E-D" but I'm used to saying it the other way. I wasn't sure if anyone would catch that! Yeah, it's an awesome movie. I gotta get my girlfriend to watch it, I know she'd like it! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:08, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

== IDs ==

The IDs for the costumes page were to the individual years, which are now taken care of by the individual pages. That's why there aren't IDs on the new pages (although, if someone wanted to get ''really'' ambitious, he or she could put 'id="homestar"', etc. on all the pages. But that's a topic for another day, probably). Also, you don't need to put underscores in the links. The software takes care of that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:17, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:Sounds like a job for grape nuts {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 18:21, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
:''Edit Conflict:'' I thought the one for Thy Dungeonman specifically was for the specific costume it was referring to (that is Strong Sad's costume? (LOL i didn't even catch the "pub" the first time I read it. ) Of course, SS is third on the list so it doesn't really matter as much now, does it? As for the underscores... um yeah... I was kinda lazy there, cuz I just copied and pasted the corresponding URLs and removed the header part of the url... :) *whistles* anyway... since you already fixed the old ones while I was typing, I'll keep an eye out for the new ones! ''(This will sound silly, but who's grape nuts!?)'' --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:25, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
::[[User:GrapeNuts]] is a bot belonging to JoeyDay. He's programmed for automated tasks and replacements and stuff like that. It's pretty wild. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== WikiTroll ==

Oops, sorry about that early post thing. Was an accident. But what I wanted to say is that if a troll has been blocked, it doesn't need to go on the WikiTroll page. That is simply to bring the troll to a sysop's attention, and especially with this WikiTikiTavi guy, it is just not worth the time and energy. This is probably good news for you eh? {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 06:52, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
:LoL I thought that was an interesting message. I was thinking of leaving some smart quip like "nice message" but I figured I'd wait and see what developed. BTW you're fast on them reverts! Yeah, you're right, it really isn't worth my time and energy. But when I started noticing, I didn't know if there were sysops around so I did it anyway. Yeah at least I know now they're being block so yeah you bring an excellent point. The last ones I still wanted to make sure they didn't get 'missed' or whatever might've been going through my mind.

::Oh! Now I know what you're [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page_9&diff=185439&oldid=175565 talking about]! At the time, some main pages had a "Button Effects" title, though most didn't. As a result I went ahead and added that title to all the main pages that didn't so that they would be uniform and would look better. The first change I'm sure I labeled "button effects", but all subsequent changes I made i labeled "+be" to refer to that first change (to mean that I was adding('''+''') a "'''b'''utton '''e'''ffects title) and to save time while I was doing all 20 or so pages.

On the other hand, weren't you a little hard on [[User:Homestar|Homestar]]? (I can't believe nobody'd taken that name before now!) The word "panties" has, after all, itself appeared on H*R, and Marzipan's dubious anatomy makes it more of an improbability than an "obscenity."

Well, suffice to say my reaction would have been the same as Strong Bad's reaction to [[do over|Homestar's falling for him]]! But eventually I figured out what it really meant. And, like both of you, I really should be doing some homework (in my case, reading about neoclassicism and Stravinsky). [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 03:06, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::::::::Thunderbird's trivia was no doubt made more confusing by the fact that you ''aren't'' actually German, are you, Läufy? (And as for your homework, I can summarize for you:
*Stravinsky's neoclassicism was one of the earliest examples of corporate downsizing among composers. After the roaring success (?) of ''Rite'', he was planning a lavish production incorporating a Russian fable into grand pageant, as he had with ''The Firebird''. There were to be grand song-and-dance numbers showcasing the soldier and the devil, chorus scenes with the inhabitants of the soldier's native village, and a live jazz combo on stage in addition to the full pit orchestra. The task of casting the soldier and the devil was difficult, since they would need to be not only strong operatic vocalists, but skillful violinists and trained balletists as well. In the end war broke out, and Stravinsky was forced to settle for a few instruments and people talking. This dramatic reduction in artistic forces was to subsequently inspire that other wartime masterpiece, the ''[[Wikipedia:Quatuor_pour_la_fin_du_temps|Quartet for the End of Time]]''. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:24, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

== Featured Article ==

Hey there, Stux. I don't really want to get into a revert war about whether the colors in [[Template:featuredarticle]] are the same or not, but you mentioned in [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Template%3Afeaturedarticle&diff=213371&oldid=213364] that you found that they actually were the same. Well, I too have checked, on both a laptop (LCD) and a desktop (CRT) and the result has always appeared the same to me, in that the colors contrast slightly. I had found a near-perfect match with said converter, and I believe that it is the correct color. May I have your opinion? — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:44, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
:Sure no problem. Thank you for posting this, I did not want a revert war either. Unfortunately, this may be a more techincal issue than we both might have anticipated. I think I notice the slight tonal difference between the background and the image. (Actually, I think this might be for me a visual artifact). Unfortunately, the RGB combination that you gave presented an even higher contrast between the image and background colors, which is why I reverted it. If you see your RGB combination as the correct color in both your monitors, perhaps we might be running into some obscure problems with our hardware? It is certainly strange. I have GIMP installed on my machine at home and will inspect the RGB values that it gives me and compare them with what we have. Actually Windows paint gave me Red: 248 Green:216 Blue:163. Which converted to hex would equate to: Red: F8, Green: D8, Blue: A3. Which would mean that numerically #F8D8A3 would be the correct color code. (#FFD196 would give it too much red, and not enough blue). I don't think E.L.Cool would've created the template with color differences, so it baffles me that both of your monitors would show a difference in the color combinations for that page. From what i see #F8D8A3 has to be the right color combination. I'm wondering, have you modified your monobook.css file? Have you tried looking at the page as an anonymous user? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:49, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
::Here's the wierd thing. I just rechecked it with my laptop and it looks like it is the right color. However, ever other computer at my school shows the subtle color difference. Perhaps there's a happy medium, or the image may need to be re-uploaded with a different background. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 18:39, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
:::Someone should have told me about this discussion. Maybe there's another option. Someone with better image skilz could crop the image around Homestar and the star so it wouldn't be white, but simply not there. That way the background could simply be behind the picture. Can this be done? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:42, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
::::I was going to suggest that we get someone else to chime in on this thing. Yes there is a way to do this, and that is to make the background of the image transparent (there is a "transparency color " that many formats (includnig PNG i'm pretty sure) can use). I think I can do that with the GIMP (the hard part is cutting the border "just right"), I'll see what I can do. I don't know why I didn't think of that before. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:45, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
:::::Ok! I uploaded a version with a transparent background and it works! <s>Unfortunately, wikimedia has not cleared out the [http://www.hrwiki.org/images/thumb/c/ca/featured.png/100px-featured.png thumbnail version] and replaced it with the new one, and so ...</s> nevermind, it has been cleared but you will not see the changes until you go on your browser and either refresh the whole page or go to the image and refresh that. Otherwise you will not see the changes. One curious thing: my monitor at home displayed Lapper's colors lighter than the monitors at school did. Oh well, welcome to the wild world of color correction and tone. Just ask Dot com, or the guys that work with color with Dot com's magazine (not sure if he works with color himself). No two monitors display the same thing the same way (kinda like going to Best buy and looking at all the HDTV's and how different their image qualities are). But it's still strange that Lapper's school computers displayed different colors for pixels that were supposed to have the same RGB values. Anyway, let me know if it looks ok or what. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:18, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

"—but we need to scare The Cheat."
I always found it comical that SB knows the grammar rules for it's vs its, but doesn't know what Haikus are. This might just nit-picking after all, it's your poem, but, I thought I'd share that traditionally Haikus have 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third line. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:02, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
:Lol! Ah! I knew someone would come to me with that! Just not this quickly. This I actually wrote (well assuming i got the first line right), during a workshop I had in college where one of the Biology Teachers (yes, Biology) who is an avid Haiku-ist gave us the task to write a [[Wikipedia:haiku|Haiku]]. Among some of the things that we were taught: Japanese haiku's do not always strictly follow the 5-7-5 rule. Some of these even portray some picture with irony or surprise in it. I'm not sure exactly where she got her style (since it was so long ago) but it was that style I was following when I wrote it! :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

== Hi there ==

Hey, Stux, how's going? I've been thinking that I haven't talked atcha in a while, so I just thought I'd leave you a little message. School's back in for me and it's quickly beginning to kick my butt. Too much Greek music theory. My French class is going OK. It's not too hard so far, although I'm quickly learning that having learned German is not a great aid to learning French. The skills you need for the two languages are so different. Anyway, I hope all's going well for you. Keep on tranglin'! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:47, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
:Hey Heimstern! Thanks for dropping a note! It is very kind of you :). Anyway I am doing well, I got back from PR last week and I already have tons of stuff to do here. I'll be writing papers till tongue turns green. Speaking of which I have one that I gotta work on that I really don't feel like working on it. Which is why I'm editing the wiki! Go figure :). Greek music theory eh? I didn't even know such a class exited. How's that different from um, regular music theory? Is this music from the height of the Greek Empire? You'll be fine in french. If you know latin or spanish it might help a little. Someday I'd like to learn german, but someday I'd also like to learn one of Chinese (Cantonese or Mandarin), Japanese or Korean. Totally different languages so I'll have to pick one, but i dunno. So I take it things are going well for you? Save the gobs of work coming your way (mine too!) Take it easy! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
::Today was our seminar on Greek music theory. It's music theory from ancient Greece. Basically the oldest Western music theory we have. It went OK, all things considered. Now it's time to work on medieval theory. As for French: the difficulty is that I don't have any real experience in Spanish or Latin. Learning German has had the positive effect of giving me the experience of having learnt another language, but also the negative effect of strengthening all the wrong points for learning a Romance language. What do I mean by that? I mean that where English has similarities with German, they are usually differences with French. (Already I remember several times when my teacher said, "That's like in English" and I thought to myself "Hmm. It's different in German".) But that class is still going pretty well. I just have to learn a new set of habits (like sticking adjectives after nouns). So that's the fun I've been up to lately. Sounds like you've had a dose of it yourself.

Hey! Over on the [[HRWiki:Guestbooks|ongoing-exercise-in-situational-irony page]], I just rearranged a couple of my ideas.

Now I've shifted it so the second suggestion is the one being voted on.

Yeah it was me trying to set up an account for research with regards to [[Talk:Strong_Bad_Email_Statistics#Updates|this]] request (I was trying to find the xls file) but I had a problem creating the account: when i hit register, it gave me the following error:
<pre>Persits.MailSender.4 error '800a0006'

550 not local host geocities.com, not a gateway

:So it turns out i'm registered, but I can never get my confirmation email to arrive for this reason. (I'm pretty sure I typed it in correctly). So I just gave up on that. I didn't know you ran strongfans.com! At least now I can like bug report to you or something. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't really have much of an opinion on what you brought up, but there is something else I can pass on to you, if you're up to filmography problems. [[:Category:Limozeen]] compared to [[:Category:Limozeen Filmography]]. Just what do we do? Seperate film for each of them, for all of them together, a bit of both? I'm not really up to it right now, if you wanna take charge of it. Thanks. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:53, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
:I have made the filmography a subcat of limozeen and moved all strict filmographies to that cat and everything else to the other. Hopefully this should work. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:31, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

If you want to change the text, put the new text after a vertical bar, and if you also want to change the mouse-over message, put the new message after a second vertical bar, like so: <code><nowiki>{{inlinecontentwarning|illegal pony fight warning|This link contains VERY illegal pony fights}}</nowiki></code> produces {{inlinecontentwarning|illegal pony fight warning|This link contains VERY illegal pony fights}}.

::::Unfortunately, because of how the template substitution thingies work, you can either make a template transclude nicely or subst nicely... ideally I'd make it so that {{tl|sbemail}} was subst'ed in that thing too, but to make it so that that happens nicely (without including the entire switch every time), I'd end up breaking all the times that {{tl|sbemail}} is transcluded anywhere (which is a lot of places).

== QOW ==
Okay, i'll give you brownie points for guessing the answer. This answer may be true (since you googled it), but it wasn't the answer i was looking for. This answer (or one of) is that cats don't have a collarbone. If you or I were to jump and land on all fours, we could break our collarbone. Cats don't have that risk, so they land on all fours with no injury. For getting a right answer, however, you and {{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} recieve this fine userbox.

As for answering so many questions... sorry that wasn't my original intention. I wanted to answer a math one but then I figured I'd give a stab at the QOW (which again was just an [[Wikipedia:Ear|educated]] [[Wikipedia:Inner_ear|guess]] and I'm still not sure if it constitutes as a right answer). Anywho, when your math problem came up, I couldn't help but to answer it! Now to try to beat [[User:Trey56#NES Endings Trivia Challenge|Trey's quiz]]! BTW I dunno if you're aware or not, but this wiki's convention is to leave conversations in one page (different from wikipedia). The reason for this is that they're easier to read, and it's not a big problem since we don't get the volume of edits the big wiki does and so we can easily keep track of replies through the watchlist. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 00:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

== Filmographies in character category ==

I'm a little confused as to why you just put all the filmographies in the character categories. I mean, the filmographies obviously aren't characters, and now you have to scroll through all the filmographies to get to the actual category content. Maybe we could make a "Main Character Filmography" category instead? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 20:13, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
:Hmmm that's probably a better idea. Actually I was thinking about creating a {{tl|CategoryMainFilmography}} (smaller name would be better) template for these categories since they all have the same information, and then just change the template. What do you think? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
::Meh, not so sure about the template. I think it's probably okay how it was (with maybe the new main filmography category added). But it probably wouldn't hurt either, so, uh... yeah. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 20:22, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Most of these categories have similar wording but inconsistent formatting (e.g. some have {{tl|CategoryTOC}}'s others don't). But for this case I'd like some "yes"/"no" feedback before proceeding. As for [[:Category:Main Character Filmography]] I'll start on that soon (later if I do the template). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:30, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
::::All right then, the templates sound okay. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 20:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

== Contest #3 ==
=== Monty Python Reference ===

I love that monty python reference! "What is the 44th mersenne prime number?" i am a college student with a math major and i love number patterns like this. may i use it elsewhere? [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 02:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

ps it is debatable if there are different mersenne primes after #39 between the other ones. if there aren't,then the 44th known mersenne prime is 232,582,657 - 1, which has 9,808,358 digits. (don't you love wikipedia) [[User:Kevin G. Dannerson|Kevin G. Dannerson]] 02:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

:Sweet! Glad you liked the reference! Feel free to use the lines anywhere you like. Just make sure you use a <code><nowiki><references></nowiki></code> tag and link to my page otherwise i'll be forced to use the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Citing sources|[''citation needed'']]] tag! ;)
:Actually, you are absolutely right. Since the solution space between the 44th and 39th mersenne primes hasn't been fully checked there may be others hidden (though I personally doubt it). But yeah, 232,582,657 - 1 '''''is''''' the 44th Mersenne Prime*!!! I myself am a math geek as well so I enjoy talking math stuff with whomever is interested! (My BS was in CS ''and'' Math.)
:So guess, what? That entitles you to a cupcake! That's the answer to the third question of my contest (getting the question itself is now easy).

I hate to do this, pal, but you're over the personal image limits. [[:Image:1overn.PNG]], [[:Image:Black ribbon 1.jpg]] and [[:Image:Evil homestar.PNG]]. Not sure which one you want to lose, but that first one is in a talk archive and nowhere else. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:16, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah I've been meaning to bring this up for a while, but never got around to it. And no one had noticed till now :-p. Anyway, [[:Image:1overn.PNG]] was going to be my intended target. It was uploaded by IRF and I volunteered to adopt it for the time being. Though it was noted at some point that it was unnecessary since it was part of a convo.

:Wow, I'm surprised still paid attention to the contest. I was thinking about soon archiving the contest figuring it may have been too hard and vague.

==Signatures==
Hey, The 386! I have been noticing that, when you are on talk pages, you sign your name like this <nowiki>[[The 386]]</nowiki>. That isn't how you sign. Here is how you sign. <nowiki>[[User:The 386|The 386]]</nowiki>. Just want to let you know! {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 22:28, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:And the easy way to do that is to use four tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. Generally we use four tildes to sign on a talk page and three tildes to vote on STUFF (four tildes is a signature with a timestamp). {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 22:30, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

It's fine, but you don't need to use the tildes and then put [[User:The 386|The 386]], just the tildes. It's no big, but it looks like you're signing twice. :) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 22:38, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== How to do custom sigs. ==

Likes you asked...

Go to [[User:The 386/sig]] and edit it as you please. You could make it <nowiki>[[User:The 386|The 386]][[User_talk:The 386|(talk)]]</nowiki> or anything you want. Then go to your preferences and in the "Your nickname (for signatures)" box put <nowiki>{{User:The 386/sig}}</nowiki> and make sure you have the "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" checked. Then everytime you put <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, it will put that sig. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 01:35, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

There you go, I made the page for you. Just edit [[User:The 386/sig]] to make it display what you want.

I got it now. {{User:The 386/sig}}

Do you want to make it different colors? If so, I could help.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 02:27, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I want different colors. {{User:The 386/sig}}

:Which ones would you like and do you want it to be in bold like my sig, or just regular?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 12:40, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I'll take the bold, but I hope it does what I want. {{User:The 386/sig}}

:Okay, now it's in bold. What colors do you want?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 12:47, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

It should be dark red on the text, and yellow on the line. {{User:The 386/sig}}

No, not the line. I think it should be just the text. {{User:The 386/sig}}

:You like it?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 12:57, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I like it. {{User:The 386/sig}}

I've noticed that the '''(talk)''' part of your signature doesn't link to your talk page. Would you like me to fix it for you? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:30, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey, there. I see you've added a "Current Status" section to your user page. In case you didn't know, there are some special pictures you can add to show how stressed you are. They are:

Oh, that's fine. Can you show me how to get that image? --{{User:The 386/sig}} 16:08, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, never mind. I like my page as is, but the image is optional. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 16:26, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

{{User:The 386/sig}}</blockquote>

::I'm not quite sure what you mean, so I'll just answer what I ''think'' you mean.

I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. That's all. I would also like to ask you about your opinion of Homsar. That's about it.
Oh, just out of curiosity, what did you mean by "may be good"?--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 00:37, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

But still, thanks for the introducement. 
Do you think I should have a guestbook?

Hmm...Yeah, probably. I have one. It's fun to see who checks out your page. I also like to encourage people to make comments about my userpage on my talk section. It's always nice to get feedback.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 18:25, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

== Signature ==

The 386, with your several frustrated reverts of your signature, it has come to my attention that you may simply be having a cache issue. For your signature to appear the way you've updated it, the caches on the pages it was linked to from will need to be purged. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:11, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm going to leave my sig as is, so, I'm giving up on it. I'll try later. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 21:13, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

== About that warning. ==

You don't have to worry about spam from me. I didn't even think of that when I made that name. It's a reference to Ultima 6, where one of the cheat codes was talking to a character and saying "SPAM SPAM SPAM HUMBUG". {[[User:SpamHumbug|SpamHumbug]] 00:39, 1 January 2006 (UTC)}

Kay. I'm pretty sure 'bout that, but still, try harder next time. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 00:42, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

:You've welcomed over 80 users! When am I gonna... ''{bangs head on keyboard}'' Oh never mind. Carry on... --{{User:The 386/sig}} 00:42, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

::You should not expect other users to step back so you can welcome someone. If a user on the welcoming committee is online, and a new user is created, he or she will welcome that new user. If you would like to welcome someone, watch recent changes carefully. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 02:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Kay. I'll watch. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 02:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

== Siggy ==

I think your sig is broken. If you want it fixed, you're missing a <nowiki></nowiki> tag. Put it in after all the other codes.

--{{User:Nckinfn04/sig}} 21:08, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, good to see you back here more frequently. I wanted to point out [[Help:Editing#Minor edits]] because I saw a recent edit marked as minor which really isn't technically a minor edit. I know, picky picky. Wasn't sure if you hadn't seen that section or just plain forgot. No big deal. Keep on tranglin'. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi The 386,
Re: {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Idon%27twannabeinlove&diff=544388&oldid=544361 this welcome}}. I would like to encourage you to be a little more friendly when welcoming new users. Your comment could've been construed as more corrective and less welcoming to users unfamiliar with the wiki. (And it's also a good idea to wait for a user to have more than a couple of edits under their belt). It's always best to sound welcoming and encouraging in a "welcome". --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:30, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

There's nothing "stupid" about UK English; it's just another way to write our language. Getting hostile about it is just going to make people mad.

Sorry to overwrite your edit to [[Baddest of the Bands Responses (Battle of the Bands stages)‎]] - I got an edit conflict while making my edit, and given how much I was adding, I was too lazy to read through what you'd added in order to incorporate my own, so I just over-wrote it. From my quick skim, though, I'm pretty sure we were both adding the same stuff. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 00:37, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

:Hey, ''I'' wrote that first! I could undo your edit! --{{User:The 386/sig}} 00:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

::You ''could'', yes. However, I had a closer look at your edit after I posted here (not sure why I didn't do it before), and realised that we'd simply added the same things, at least in the section where you made your edit. If I hadn't brought it up, you probably wouldn't have noticed the difference. =) On a vaguely-related side note, regarding British English, I'm trying to spell and punctuate things the American way, but occasionally I slip up and the correct spelling or punctuation gets onto the page. You're free to fix it if you notice it. You don't, however, have to bite my head off about it. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 01:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Why do you keep deleting my welcome post on Kittyslasher's talk page? I'm just trying to help. {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}
:I can answer that. He is vandal and we don't welcome vandals. I welcomed a few vandals not even knowing that they were already vandals. Please see the block log or on the deletion log if you want to see if you welcome a vandal. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:Ah, I was just about to post on your talk page. I'm sorry, but that particular user is a vandal who has been blocked from editing forever. I do appreciate that you welcome new users, and I do know that it's confusing that some users should not actually be welcomed. I had the same problem when I started! Only very few users are vandals, and it's usually safe to welcome everybody. If you see that a new user has not been welcomed for quite a while (maybe an hour or longer), then you might want to check [[Special:Log/block]] to see if he or she has been blocked. Don't let this spoil your mood, it's no big deal! :-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 13:34, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

:Yes, I'm sure it was. It's just that you're already the second editor to mix up '''Georgia''' and '''Virginia'''. ;-) And apart from that, it's not quite article talk page appropriate, as the talk page is for discussing article content. Keep on tranglin'! {{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:16, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

== Subpages ==

Loafing, I've seen other people make subpages that I don't think fit the H*R Wiki and they never get deleted. Do you think many admins just never notice or that I'm wrong about the Wiki policy. (Also, I might not do TODs anymore. I can't think of many good ones.) {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 00:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
:That is a very good point. There are many subpages that really shouldn't be there according to our policy, and I have been meaning to bring this up for a while now. It's just a lot of work, and so I've so far concentrated mainly on new subpages. And really, only policing subpages is no fun, so I'm mostly doing other things, as I guess most other users will do, too. Apart from that, I like Trey's response on your talk page, and his post [[HRWiki_talk:User_space#Uploaded_images_subpages|here]], which must have been inspired by your question. And hey, you might have a good idea for another TOD tomorrow or next week. Never say never ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

==i has a deletion==
Hey Loafing. I was wondering if you can delete my "i has a crayon" personal image on my userpage. Instead of that, I am doing a Nintendo challenge like Trey. (with permission) So, if you could do that for me, it would make me happy. ;-) Keep on tranglin, {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 02:42, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Just how did you delete my personal image, Sprinkles (Barfalamue).jpg? I don't see how. {{User:Mas12806/sig}} 01:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
:You don't see how because only [[HRWiki:sysops|sysops]] have access to the delete button. (Incidentally, this should probably have been a new section at the bottom of Loafing's talk, not part of one that's over a year old.) {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:11, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

'''PNG GUY:''' I use an exe called PNGOUT[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pngout] which was created by the Ken Silverman, creator of the Build engine used in Duke Nukem 3D, amongst other games.

Since you are always voting '''delete''' on my articles.(The bad ones, at least.) I figured you would know what a necessary or unnecessary one would be. Anyways, should I make [[Squinting]] on account of Strong Bad doing so to read long or unclear words. {{User:SantanaHomerunner/sig}}
:I'm gunna go ahead and give my two cents. Squinting is a natural function of the human body when reading long or unclear words, therefore, I don't think it merits a page. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 22:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
:SantanaHomerunner, I do appreciate your eagerness to contribute to the wiki. However, you often create new articles too quickly. Next time, before you create the article, check if this is already covered elsewhere (as for example with [[Basketballs]]), ask yourself if this would actually make for an interesting article ([[Squinting]] is for example a very normal thing to do, so it's not very notable). Also, make sure you go through the points listed in our [[HRWiki:Inclusion guidelines|inclusion guidelines]] to see if that article would have a chance. You've created 2 decent articles, which is much more than most new users can say, so you really don't need to stress. However, 15 (!) of your articles have turned out deleted, redirected or will soon be. You need to make sure that you'll be more productive, as it is a lot of work for everybody to discuss those articles. Keep an tranglin'!{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:57, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm also not so sure about your other suggestions. [[a-]] is for exmple something that really only Strong Bad does, so a whole article on it might be too much.

You always have to ask yourself if someone would actually want to read such an article. Not sure that mining is something that happens so often at homestarrunner.com, and there has never been any actual spring break. You should also definitely check out [[HRWiki:Spoons]] and it's talk page. Now, as per our agreement, you owe me $30.000 if I counted correctly.

Whether you may know it or not, there is [[User talk:Sysrq868#Gimme_a_break|a small bug in the local viewer]]. I asked Phlip over IRC, and he said that your XML parser spits out <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> instead of just <code><nowiki> </nowiki></code> in the HTML generated from the subtitles data. Could you fix this, or take this to someone who could fix it? Thanks! --{{User:Sysrq868/sig}} 11:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

== HEY! WHAZZUP? ==

Yo, I made an edit to a page, you reverted it (which is fine, this is why we have Wiki's) but, you posted your reason as "rv. complete stretch". If you could please tell me what that means, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks. {{unsigned|69.250.235.131|23:17, 22 January 2008}}
:Cool, cool! Here's what it means: "rv" means "revert". That's so that people can immediately see the nature of my edit. "Stretch" means that the connection between the quotes from the toon and the movie was exaggerated. The Duke Nukem [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=50_emails&diff=prev&oldid=537749 quote] is (as far as I know) not unique to the game, and even if it was, it's not obvious that Homestar's quote was actually referring to it. It's something that happens all the time, don't let this discourage you! Sometimes, my edits get reverted, I take a step back and think "Oh yeah... it's not ''that'' obvious..." ;-) Keep on tranglin'!{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:24, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

== About your revert on TGS 8 ==

I said the trolls' language was a take-off on Klingon, and you said it was too big of an assumption to make. It seemed to be a pretty clear reference to me, even though it may take a few steps to perceive it as such. To me, So and So's death by twelve-sided die makes sense if you see the trolls as nerds in costume, which would also explain why they want So and So's autograph (because of her new Goth look). The fact that they are nerds thus makes it possible that at least one would know how to speak Klingon. In either case, it does bear some resemblence to Klingon, whether coincidental or intentional, so maybe I could have made my edit a weaker yet more acceptable statement by simply saying so. [[Special:Contributions/24.1.72.253|24.1.72.253]] 19:55, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:As you said, it takes a few steps to perceive it as a reference to Klingon. Seeing the trolls as nerds in costume is not something that most editors would agree with, I believe. Trolls and Klingons also don't match, as trolls are fantasy and Klingons are science fiction. It's a rather weak link, and not quite enough to be listed on an article, I'm afraid.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

== sig length ==

{{sigbox|User:MichaelXX2/sig}} Your sig is too long again. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:54, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:In addition, there's no reason to have a separate subpage for your halloween sig. please save its data and mark it for deletion. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:58, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

I hope you realize that your pending [[HRWiki:Changing_username#MichaelXX2|username change]] (assuming it gets approved) will really limit you on what you can add to your sig next to your name. Just the name itself {{sigbox raw|Homestar VS. Yoshi}} fits okay, but your "Talk to me" ain't gonna fit .. especially with your image, if you decide to keep it. Something to keep in mind. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== Talk page edit ==

Hey there, MichaelXX2. I noticed you recently left a message on [[User talk:98.227.0.180]] that was rather inappropriate. Articles that are up for deletion will be dealt with on a per-article basis, and problems with MediaWiki syntax can be directed to [[Help:Content]]. Also, while creating an account gives users an identity, it is by no means required or necessary. Do consider these points in the future. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 17:16, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== Requesting Name changes ==

Hi MichaelXX2,

Please understand that [[HRWiki:Changing username]] was created as a courtesy by the admins for us wiki users. They are under no obligation to fulfill our requests under any time frame, if at all. Bothering the administrators with constant messages will not speed up the process and will only serve to disrupt the wiki. You should keep this in mind whenever making edits. Whenever your request is looked at, you will get a response. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:07, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:In addition, my suggestion to bug more people was sarcastic, and i apologize if you misunderstood and thought that it was the correct way to go about it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:23, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
::Oho, no prob, man. I just ''really'' want my user name to be Homestar VS. Yoshi, and no one that can change a user name has been in the page for months... Should I just make new account? No, I can't. It's too close to someone's other username blee blah bloo blick bleck... {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 20:26, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:::No, creating a new account would be creating what we call a sockpuppet. It's not allowed on this wiki. Also, I believe that it's unlikely that your username will actually be changed, as you are a prolific editor and you are relatively well known as MichaelXX2. Changing your name would probably confuse other editors. But it's not my decision to make, it's just a heads-up.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:03, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== MP3s ==

MichaelXX2, please stop advertising making mp3s from homestarrunner toons. This does not sound like fair use and is probably not legal.

Seriously, it's not what the wiki is about, and it might actually get us into trouble. TBC are very lenient with the wiki regarding copyright. We try hard to not only respect their work but also their copyright. A part of this commitment is that we don't extract songs from their toons and make them available online.

== About IDC ==
Michael, this has gotten a little out of hand. Your constant remarks about It's Dot Com are getting old. You've been whining for a few days now about wanting your username changed, trying to make him or another sysop feel bad for you, and that's just plain ridiculous. He stated clearly that he wasn't going to change your username for a while, and he stands by that. If you really want him to trust you and change your username, you should start making more contributive edits to the wiki, instead of bashing him. On a side note, when you make a post on another article's talk page about something you suggest, its not un-normal for someone to not respond for a day or two. Don't keep editing the page in hopes that someone will catch your edits on the Recent Changes page and respond. Be patient. Thanks, {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:30, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
:I'm sorry. I'll start by finishing a transcript of something or something. (That's confusing.) {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:32, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

I was not "making fun" of you on IRC. I think you did great work starting off the transcript.

== Invisible comments ==

Hi there. The reason [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:MichaelXX2&diff=next&oldid=599272 this edit] broke your page is because you're typing "<nowiki> {{clear}}</nowiki>" for invisible comments, when all you need is "<nowiki></nowiki>". The "<nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki>" template does something else entirely, namely, it makes the page text continue only after all images (and userboxes) have been cleared, which is why it sent everything to the bottom of your userboxes. So:
:Clear:
:[[Image:Hug.PNG|thumb|A picture]]
:Blah blah blah blah blah...
:{{clear}}
:More blahs after the <nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki>.
:Invisible comment:

== A Tip ==

Hi, theyellowdart. About the SBEmails you've sent, I think they were all awesome ideas! Maybe the only reason Strong Bad hasn't answered any on the website is because you're using a name that was used in one of the earlier Strong Bad emails. If you rewrite the emails, and use a different, new, and unique name at the end of it, I think you'd have a HUGE chance of being picked for the email of the week. Just trying to help, [[User:Hooray4homestar]].
:Hey there. Thanks! But, in fact, I do put my real name when I send the emails. But on the Wiki I just use my username. But cool. I'm glad you like my ideas. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 22:51, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I just did not know who was going to on. Ok now down business, I just finnish making a new page and I want the opinion of someone who know if this page would work or just get deleted the page is lightning. It has showed up about 10 times one homestarrunner.com. So will it work? {{User:The-homsarrunner/sig}}
:Hi, not TYD but I happen to be on, so... I'm not sure actually. It depends on how relevant the lightning is to the plots of the stories. I mean, we don't have a page on all the trees we've seen in the H*R universe, but we do have a page for [[the Decemberween Tree]]. So it may or may not work depending on how they are, and I haven't investigated.
:But here's what I suggest. When I have an idea that I'm not sure will work or not, I develop it in a subpage of my user space. You could make a page at [[User:The-homsarrunner/Lightning]] and start it there. Then it can be developed by you and others, but it isn't yet in the general article base so no one's going to be immediately going, "Delete". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:59, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

As the links show above, It's dot com tried to inform you politely why you shouldn't post things like that on pages, and you rudely dis-acknowledged(bad wording, sorry) the notice.

== Fourth Wall Breaks? ==

Hey Heimstern, I was just looking around the [[:Category:Articles_needing_cleanup|list of articles that need cleaning-up]] and I noticed that [[Fourth Wall Breaks]] is on there. When you look at its [[Talk:Fourth_Wall_Breaks|talk page]], it says that it's a featured article. Just curious, but why is it a featured article if it's marked for cleanup? -[[User:The Vector Kid|TVK]] 06:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
:Well, the problems that need cleanup may have developed after the article was featured, or it may simply be that we noticed problems that we didn't notice at the time of the feature.

i already told you peoples why i edited my page is because i thought i never got a reply that mike sent and he was clearly online because i saw him edit a page. most people check their e-mail daily. technically, you're not it's dot com, so you weren't asked to not block me, but i had a good reason this time. on top of that, it ''is'' my page, so why should i not be able to edit it. someone get Q over here. he'll agree that thinking the email was missing somewhere in the internet is a good enough reason to post there. and it is MY page. i should be able to use it. get Q over here. he'll agree. we're buds. he's on my [[User:Homsarstrongbad150#cool users list|cool users list]]. y'know what? i'm going to get Q, and i'm going to see what joeyday thinks of you. yeah, that's right. i'm going to the top, asking the big man. this was one edit, do you get it? i think i never got the reply to my email, so i asked, and now i can't use my own talk page for 2 days. so i did try not to post there. i had a legit reason to this time. that was a good question.

"thanks a lot", says {{User:Homsarstrongbad150/sig}} 03:11, 19 October 2008 (UTC) sarcastically and angrily
:I know perfectly well that you've told us why you edited your talk page. Your reason was not acceptable. The fact that you are having email problems or that Michael did not reply as quickly as you thought he should have does not mean we have to let you use HRWiki as a messaging service. As for your assertion that it's '''your''' talk page, you are entirely mistaken. Your talk page does '''not''' belong to you, it belongs to the entire wiki, and therefore it's subject to all the wiki's guidelines and policies. Your use of your talkpage is a privilege, and, since you abused that privilege, it was revoked. Call for Qermaq, JoeyDay, Tom, whoever to look over my edits and admin actions as much as you want; I believe they stand on their own and that most users will completely understand. You, by contrast, have taken actions that have gotten you blocked for a week. And did you notice that '''no one''' is defending you? That should cause you to think that just maybe '''you''' might be in the wrong, and not me, Phlip, Dot com and others who've warned and taken administrative action against you. Please realize also that if you return to this behaviour after your block is over, you can expect to be blocked again for longer (possibly indefinitely). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:24, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Is referring to someone "n00b" considered flaming? I've been careful to restrain myself, but I was just curious. Something tells me it's not a good idea. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 04:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
:I was just going down my user talk page recently and discovered that I left this question unanswered. Sorry about that, I forgot; didn't mean to ignore you or anything.

"Newbie" can be a nice alternative sometimes, incidentally. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:13, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
::I actually prefer avoiding calling attention to it altogether - just say "I know this is new for you" or "It's clear you are like me when I first edited a wiki" or something.

They probably feel like an outsider, and the goal is to make them feel like they are welcome to edit as much as any insider.

I allow other editors to contact me via email only so that I can be contacted about off topic matters, or in the unlikely event that I need to be contacted about something that is not germane to a public discussion. Thanks. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 20:36, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar Runner E-mails ==

A few notes regarding your recent changes to this page.

1) It is '''never''' acceptable to post someone's personal e-mail address in a public venue without their explicit consent. In this case, I doubt the e-mail address that was listed really was that person's personal address, so inaccurately listing it as such wasn't invasive after all, but still inaccurate and therefore not appropriate.

2) It is dubious whether the details of the MX records and related DNS information of homestarrunner.com should be documented in this knowledge base. In any case, the information you listed on the page was again inaccurate. That domain is not a secret part of the site. In fact it doesn't even respond to HTTP requests. It's part of their mail system.

3) To reiterate what I already mentioned on the talk page of the article, it's not in the purview of this knowledge base to provide a comprehensive contact sheet for all things homestarrunner.com. That is their business. Our mission is to document what they do put out there.

I understand you put work into the page, and I appreciate your effort on that. However, there was a notice at the top of the page indicating the probable transience of the page. Some of the information you added to the page should be documented, but not there. For example, the email addresses found on Thorax Corps' website would be appropriately listed in the corresponding articles for the pages of that site. Please don't think I'm attacking you, as it's not a personal matter. I just have a sensitive spot for respecting the distribution of other peoples' email addresses and publicly posting technical details of their systems. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 20:59, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

== Far more than spelling fixes ==

Your "spelling fixes" on [[Strong Badia the Free]] only accomplished removing all of the links, formatting, and mandatory templates on the page, in addition to fixing the spelling of a mere two words that I noticed. Why did you do that? If you copied the page's contents into a word processor, ran the spell checker, and pasted it back in, that would help to explain it... which is why you shouldn't do that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:51, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

== Sig ==

The image in your current sig should be reduced 28px (max) in width to conform to the 20px-max-height expectation (see [[HRWiki:Signature]]). {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 05:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
:{{sigbox|User:Mas12806/sig}}
:your sig is too long and your image too big. please shorten it, and reduce the size. thanks. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

==Other==
So a sysop is not a job at the Wiki, but a trusted user. Got it. I'd become a Sysop, but I have another job. I guess that's it. I guess. {{User:Mas12806/sig}} 02:27, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

During 6AM to 5PM during the week (Monday through Friday) I have to be at my other job. On Wednesday's, I get out of there by 4PM. I'd spend my whole day here at this wonderful Wiki, but you know, I've got to make some money to able to afford to keep this computer on, or else I couldn't be here. I'll try to fit more time. And if it's possible being a sysop user is a real paying job here, then I think it could work. Um, you administrators, you created this Wiki, right? Your in charge of everything? I'd like to say something. Looking to see that in the list users page, there are several page does not exist users. May I reccommend keeping these off the page as they are no longer using the Wiki? {{User:Mas12806/sig}} 03:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

:I'm not a sysop or anything, but i believe i'm pretty well-respected round these parts. And it's not staying up all day and night, it's more just doing what you can, monitoring changes, helping out people, stuff like that. That's all. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:09, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

::no, but many of the sysops and respected users are in other countries, allowing for differences in timezone. As for becoming a sysop, you just gotta be the best user you can. there's no nominations or anything, it's just like, if they think they need more sysops, they know who's been trustworthy, and they pick someone. Basically a "don't call us, we'll call you" kind of thing. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:20, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== Welcoming ==

Hi, Mas12806. Thanks for doing some welcoming for us. However, I note that your welcomes are a bit impersonal: they're basically the same welcome for each user with just the name changed. We prefer that people welcome using a more personal style (see [[HRWiki talk:Welcoming committee#Welcoming with tact and professionalism|these comments]]), so please keep that in mind for future welcomes. Also, it's standard to ask users to ask you questions via your talk page rather than by email. Thanks for your time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:46, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
:I understand I should have made different letters for each new user, but there will be alot of users joining. Is it against the policy to do this for the committee? I shall try different letters next time. Thanks! {{User:Mas12806/sig}} 02:15, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
::First off, we prefer to keep discussions in one place, so if someone leaves a note on your talk page, it's best to just reply here. Secondly, yeah, we don't really do the whole canned welcome thing that's usual on lots of other wikis. We only welcome users if we have something personal to say to them (which means we won't usually welcome a user until they've already made an edit or two, though there are exceptions). Remember, they'll get the links that they need anyway from the bot. Thanks; keep on tranglin'. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:06, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I wanted to do that for old times sake. Anyway, I kinda discovered something to make transferring things much easier. If you take the code from 'Tavi pages, put em in Word, and then do a ctrl-f, you can have it replace all the parentheses with brackets.

== Redirects ==

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

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

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

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

::Oh, Contraire! I have often wanted to be able to quickly type "sbemailxx" into the search box to find something quickly.

(I was actually thinking of adding these the other day, then stumbled across this thread. Sorry I'm a little late joining the discussion.) :) {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:37, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Sebastian Coe ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Idea ==

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

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

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

== Floppy Disks ==

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

-Thunderbird_L17

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

:I used a program called [http://www.flash-decompiler.com/ Flash Decompiler]. It's a free download, so you might want to give it a try.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Alright, I think it's finally done. I have one more little task though that I can't complete on my own. The three templates, Template:manhunter_new_york , Template:lode_runner , and Template:tongue_of_the_fatman are now unneeded, and as such should be deleted, right? I can't figure out how to.

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

Actually, I never thought about NPOV. While I was doing all this, I used reviews as sources, it's easier to just take the opinions of the writers and condence them. But I think that meathod has given the summaries a multi purpose, to now give you a bit of background about the game for curiosity's sake, but also as a type of mini review, for those who are deciding whether or not to find and play them. It gives the summaries a critical and reviewish type feel. Now to go back and do them all NPOV'D would take some doing, and in my opinion I don't think would be as enjoyable to read. What do you think?

== SB Email categories ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(The Knowledge Base Stuff)

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

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

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

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

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

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

== STUFF and Fun Facts ==

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

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

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

I have created a preliminary template:disputed

It reads as follows:{{disputed}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Rejected Halloween Costumes Task ==

Hi Tom! Thunderbird here again, with a special task for a few of my fellow users. On the [[Sketchbook]] page, in the [[Sketchbook#In The Museum|Museum]] section of that page, the last picture is a bunch of rejected halloween costume ideas. The caption gives the challenge '10 bucks to anyone who can identify them all'. So what I propose is to identify them all. I've already set up a basic 'top left to bottom right' type list under the 'Description' section, with the two most obvious costumes in it. But can we get the other costumes, and win ourselves $10? Any costumes you know would be a help. Thanks. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 02:14, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Update: The good Doctor Haggis was far faster with that task than I could have ever expected. All the costumes are done with the exception of one: The full body [[Marzipan]]. Many think that she is in fact Belle from Beauty & the Beast, but we're not quite sure about that. What are your thoughts? Any better ideas as to who this mystery Marzipans could be, or even just your opinion as to weather or not she's Belle?

You're right but wrong. You were correct that there was no evidence of a camera in The Cheat's room.

== Rock Opera Context Note ==

Tom,

Hello. I hope your day is well.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

:When you view edits via the RecentChanges page by clicking on the "diff" link, you now have the option to "[Mark as patrolled]".

Since many folks nowadays seem to be personalizing their sigs, I was just wondering: Is sig help covered in an 'HRWiki:' page? If not, should one be made?

==Trogga==

[[User:FireBird|We]] have a problem with Trogga. He's been making alot of edits that boarder on Trolling. Just look at his [[User talk:Trogga|talk page]] and you'll [[Special:Contributions/Trogga|see what we mean]]. Make no mistake about it, he does make good edits too, but a large chunk of them are mass deletions of text. So what should we do? Is another big deletion grounds for blocking? Or should we continue to follow him around undoing his... overzealousness?

:I know Joey has threatened to block him before. I know he makes some good edits, so just be careful we don't lose a good editor. If you feel he should be blocked, just make sure you give him fair warning (which I guess you have already) and keep it short (24h).[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:01, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

:::For the [[R!OT Radio Interview 1]], the best I could find was a [http://tvulive.com/contact.htm contact form]. I think we are okay with the transcript there, but we could still ask for information regarding the broadcast.

:::When quoting an email, you should use <code>blockquote</code> instead of <code>pre</code>. We should set up a style so that blockquoted text has a distinct look.

Have you seen [[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]] lately, namely this '[[HRWiki:STUFF'd Project Activities Control League|SPACL]]' thing? Is this sanctioned at all? It doesn't really seem to fit into the wiki as a 'NPOV' type place at ALL. [[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]], a user who's only been around a few months, and whom I've never even HEARD OF, has seemed to claim ownership of it as well, which really isn't a Wiki thing to do. I mean, not even Joeyday does much without a joint decision. I don't want to delete it or anything in case it is sanctioned, but I really think this needs a total overhaul at least, if not total deletion. Can't this thing just be covered under the [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts|STUFF]] page, or it's talk page? This is really starting to turn this Wiki into the direction of the Fanstuff one, something I really wouldn't want to see...

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

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

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

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

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

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

:::Sanjuro, my comment earlier was in no way an attempt to be offensive!

Sanjuro is obviously upset that his work, although not useful, was unceremoniously trashed. He is expressing his anger in the wrong way, in my opinion, but it's at least understandable. I think he put <code><nowiki>{{tobedeleted}}</nowiki></code> on his user page in haste. Did it have to be deleted right away? If not, is there an undelete feature? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:54, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Oh, sure, it's easy to undelete. The entire old history has been saved. I wouldn't have done it if that were not the case (mostly because I have a feeling he thinks that those comments are gone forever). <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:57, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Yes, that's right. If necessary, a sysop can restore any version of any deleted page at any time. Only image deletion is permanent.

This website is SO AWESOME! But I think that you guys shouldtake it easy on Sanjuro. By the sound of things (from which I read) all of your comments just made him more frustrated. Watch what you type to this member, cause it just might make him even MORE frustrated.
And Aurora, Captain Planet says "The power is yours", not "The choice is yours". No offense though.

== Deletion on my account please! It's too raw! ==

Yo Tom! What's up? I need you to do me a little favour. My accounts Sanjuro and Balmung? Yeah. Can you delete them? Thanks [[User:Sanjuro|Sanjuro/Balmung]] 02:42, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC) P.S. [[User:Balmung]] not to be confused with [[User:Balmung of Azure Sky]]

:Tim, after reviewing the database, I can clearly see that you currently you have three accounts:
:#[[User:Balmung]] (user_id 788)
:#[[User:Sanjuro]] (user_id 789)
:#[[User:Balmung of Azure Sky]] (user_id 2001)
:The use of [[Wikipedia:Internet sock puppet|sock puppet]] accounts is highly discouraged. However, I will not delete any of these accounts, since an accurate article edit history record must be maintained. As I'm sure you can see, the user page for the first two accounts has already been deleted per your previous request. If you would like to put any other pages up for deletion, use the <nowiki>{{tobedeleted}}</nowiki> template tag.

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

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

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

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

:I was hoping to go live today, but I see that ''that's'' not going to happen. Now I'm hoping to go live by midweek. (Right this second, however, I'm hoping to go get some good sleep.) Let me know how you think it's going. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:07, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The main format is ready to go live. We are in the [[HRWiki:stuff test index|public testing stage]] now. Once we work out any bugs, all that will remain will be to convert the existing facts to the new format. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 08:35, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

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

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

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

:::True, but he has only been around for a little over two months. There are some users that have been around significantly longer that I think are also deserving of sysopness. I do like the guy, and would be happy if he became a sysop, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Admins leave it a few months yet before opening another Nomination Window. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:46, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Question ==

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

:I'm in the Duck Shirt and jacket. [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] (not [[Matt Chapman|Matt]]) is in the red shirt with the scarf.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:37, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::And it isn't that Mike is unhappy... He apparently just takes [[User:DaChazman|bad pictures]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:16, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

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

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

== Forum namespace ==

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

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

::Will do. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:::Here is the reminder you requested. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:17, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::Done. Example: <nowiki>[[Forum:15|thread 15]]</nowiki> becomes [[Forum:15|thread 15]]. Oh, and just so I remember for next time, they are interwiki links, not namespaces.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:52, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== On the wiki ==

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

== Goofs vs. Typos ==

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

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

::Goofs may be our standard category, but we are flexible enough to accomodate a special category on a toon-by-toon basis. For example, [[50_emails#Homestar.27s_attempts_at_DELETED|Homestar's attempts at Deleted]]. I think these should be grouped together since there are several of them. How about "Strong Sad's Goofs", or "Strong Sad's Mistakes", or something similar? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:42, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== You are appreciated ==

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

Oh, well that's a problem. It was on a poll on the second Fanstuff Forum, which is offline for an indefinite amount of time.

== HRWiki Tour ==
This has been suggested elsewhere, but so far has been ignored by anyone in power. I asked JoeyDay, but he then decided to take a vacation. Then It's Dot Com, but he ignored it. So, let's see if someone will listen to the suggestion here.

A few people think that the [[HRWiki:Tour]], which currently has no solid page linking to it, should be the third tab in [[HRWiki:Introduction]]. Do you agree? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 16:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

:I didn't ignore it. In fact, I already replied at the only place there should be a discussion: namely, the [[HRWiki_talk:Tour#Location|tour talk page]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

:Okay. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:02, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

== Username redirect ==

Hi Tom, while JoeyDay is out, I'm asking you this: Can I have a userpage redirect to mine? I was thinking about [[User:Elcool]], because my freinds sometimes look for me on the wiki, not by my correct name. Some other users could use a redirect with common misspellings. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 13:23, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
:It's not unheard of... [[User:Thunderbird]] redirects to [[User:Thunderbird L17]]'s page, although I dunno if he got permission for that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::E.L. Cool, this leads to an interesting line of thought. We could take this in two directions:
::#We do not allow users to have redirects from common misspellings etc. to their correct username. We never have allowed someone to have "two" userspaces, and this would go along with that semi-policy. Then, someone comes along and registers [[User:Elcool]] and starts making edits. Someone like [[User:It's dot com]] or myself would then approach this user and ask that they choose a new name, since the one they chose is too close to the existing user [[User:E.L. Cool]]. (This comes to mind because it happened [[User talk:It's dot org|quite recently]].) Then I suppose we'd block the [[User:Elcool]] account so it wouldn't happen again. At that point, if you came and asked if you could have that page redirect to your own, I don't think I'd be able to say "no".
::#We do allow users to have redirects from common misspellings etc. to their correct username. We'd probably want to set up a process for this, however, because if people just started doing this willy-nilly, we might get people registering for usernames that were already redirects. We'd want to make sure what ever names were redirected where blocked as well.
::I also don't think I'd want this to become a normal thing, where everyone and their grandmother goes and thinks of all the possible permutations of their username and then goes and makes dozens of redirects. I don't think it's altogether too common that this kind of thing would happen.
::DorianGray, the redirect you bring up has a different intent associated with [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Thunderbird&action=history its history], and at this point is an exception.
::So at this point, hold off on doing anything for a while. I'm going to want to get Ben's input on how we should handle it, but as of right now, it looks like it could happen. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, sure. I wasn't even thinking of making it informal. Just make it like the Username Change page where people will ask before they do something. And ok, I'll hold. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:17, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
::::(comment only): I think Thunderbird registered the name [[User:Thunderbird|Thunderbird]] before he did that. [[User:Ed smildE|Ed smilde]]/[[User talk:Ed smildE|talk]]
:::::I have pondered similar issues to this one in the past. I am open to the idea, although I agree that to just turn everybody loose would not be the best course to take. For one thing, I don't like having user pages that don't correspond to a username in the database. I would like to consider how the problem might be solved elegantly (along the lines of a Special page or something) versus creating and blocking usernames that will never be used. Let me think on it and I'll tell you what I come up with. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:04, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

== Robots.txt ==
You seem to be the senior sysop around here (I think), so while JoeyDay isn't here, I'll ask you instead.

The Robots.txt file at http://hrwiki.org/robots.txt has this:

Disallow: /index.php/HRWiki:Sandbox
...which disallows just the Sandbox. However, the Robots.txt file at http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/robots.txt has this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
...which disallows everything. Why is this? Can you change it? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 07:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

:It's like that because we (The Admins) do not want the fanstuff wiki indexed by anything. And sorry, but no we aren't going to change it. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:32, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
::Why don't the admins want it indexed? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 12:43, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

::::...and why don't the admins want it showing up in search engines? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 16:13, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::Because it isn't built on strictly canon material.

::::::What does that have to with the Fanstuff showing up in search engines? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 17:15, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::[[User:It's dot com]] is correct, but the reasoning behind our decision was slightly different. The fanstuff wiki was only created to appease a small minority that wanted fanstuff brought back after we decided not to bring it back when we moved to MediaWiki. The Admins didn't want the fanstuff wiki, but relented due to what I can only call persistent whining. One of the conditions of our creating fanstuff was to make sure that search engines did not index it. This was for two reasons:
:::::::#We are very protective of the HRWiki name. We do not administer fanstuff closely enough to control the quality of the content.
:::::::#And as It's dot com mentioned, we don't want anyone searching for actual Homestar Runner knowledge to be confused with what they find there.

:First of all, Tom ''is'' an administrator here, and I'm sure he's fully aware of how he could archive his user page. It's not lack of knowledge; it's just a personal decision on his part, which he's free to make since his [[HRWiki:User space|user space]] belongs to him.

== MediaWiki Software Related Stuff ==
Two things:
#Do you know how the New Messages bug was solved? I'm having the same problem on a wiki I own.
#I had a discussion on #mediawiki with [[Wikipedia:User:Robchurch|Robchurch]] about deleting users. Here's the main part of the conversation:
<blockquote>
<Super_Sam> If you have database access to a wiki, it is possible to delete usernames? 
<robchurch> In theory. 
<robchurch> You can delete users without too many repurcussions. 
<Super_Sam> What about gaps in the history? 
<robchurch> Well, the users will still be credited for the edits. 
<Super_Sam> So, under history it'll show the user, but the user won't actually exist.
</blockquote>
I proceeded to test it out on my wiki (which also uses MediaWiki 1.5). By deleting the user from the "user" table, the user was effectively deleted (couldn't log in and no longer in the list of users), while edits by that user remained in history (including block logs). However, the user remained in [[Special:Ipblocklist]] until they were also deleted from the "ipblock" table. This method should also work for the NSMC accounts.

Hey Tom, I wanted to ask you about [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Category:HRWiki_Policy&diff=266540&oldid=246251 this edit]. The reason I had made the [[:Category:HRWiki_Policy|Policy category]] a subcategory of the [[:Category:Help|help category]] was that I wanted users who were browsing the Help category to be able to see the Policy category and browse its contents right away. I reasoned that having the Policy Category have greater visibility would be preferable (even if no one reads anything really). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:09, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

:The [[:Category:HRWiki_Policy|Policy category]] is a subcategory of the [[:Category:HRWiki Maintenance|HRWiki Maintenance category]]. The [[:Category:Help|Help category]] is also a subcategory of the HRWiki Maintenance category. The Help category shouldn't be a subcategory of a subcategory that's in the same category as it (the Help category) is in. In other words, we want HRWiki Maintenance --> Policy and HRWiki Maintenance --> Help and not HRWiki Maintenance --> Help and HRWiki Maintenance --> Policy --> Help. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:02, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

::My original idea was that the Policy Category be a subcategory of Help, not the other way around.

Hello my name is H*bad and I have a complaint to make, I have been blocked again most likely because of the same person I don't know but I am innocent. No one else is replying to what I have been saying. Can you please unblock me because I haven't done a thing wrong. I am blocked on the fanstuff wiki. And I could swear upon anything at all that I am not doing anything wrong.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 17:21, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
:Ps you may have to unblock the people who are doing that horrible joke of having the same user accounts as the NSMC bots but only for a little second and that may unblock me becaue they have been using my IP address somehow.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 17:24, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

::Yeah, it looks like you have been autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by a blocked username. The block expires 16:12, 5 March 2006 (UTC). If you'd like to edit before then, contact a fanstuff sysop.

For Darth Homestar runner I found out what his password was and I guess it showed my IP as his which reminds me to tell him to change his pass. any ways, Godzillarunner I made him, which I do admit that I made him, but for a good reason, I forgot my password and thought thats ok I will just make a new user account, a few hours later I remembered what my password was.

I didn't know that you could use the id attribute with target links.
There seems to be a bug in my web browser that is preventing it from rendering the target links on that page. It renders most target links correctly; it worked with the test page I made in the sandbox.
I kept editing the T-shirt page because thought that it must have been something wrong with with the code, but it appears the only problem was in my browser. I just checked the T-shirt page in Firefox and the target links work just fine in it.
Sorry for editing that page so much.

Either way, like It's dot com said, even if common sense didn't tell you that it was completely inappropriate, the fact that a sysop removed it should have given you an idea. You are treading on very thin ice and your disregard for several other policies of our community has all of us keeping a very close watch on your edits.

::::Dacheatbot: We actually don't want people to use their own time zone in timestamps on talk pages (or STUFF or wherever), as this is quite confusing. Having everyone use the UTC standard gives us an absolute time to refer to, and only requires one conversion (that is, you just have to know what your time is relative to UTC, not how your time zone matches to some unfamiliar abbreviation). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

The same arguement can be applied to {{tl|character-artwork}}, sure, the images are character-artwork, but they aren't from a comic book, video game, or animated television program or film, they're from homestarrunner.com.

== Homsar: banned on IRC ==
Hi, Tom. Nice to see you. Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering about Homsar999. He says that he was banned from the IRC channel. He says he was banned because he impersonated Lunar Jesters as a joke. He also says, however, that you and JoeyDay think he impersonated many more people. I usually would have no reason to not trust you and Joey, but Homsar999 has always been nice to me, and he seems to have a good sense of judgment. If you can, can you please elaborate on the situation so I won't have to keep choosing sides between my friends? Thanks a lot. Sincerely, — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:Yes, he is banned from the IRC channel. No, he wasn't banned just for impersonating Lunar Jesters. Yes, Joey Day and I know that he impersonated many more users. I don't really care if he has been nice to you or not, and I certainly don't care about your character assessment of him.. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 02:33, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

:::In your first post you stated that "he seems to have a good sense of judgment." Here you just stated that he drills stuff into your head about myself and Joey being evil.

Now that you've cleared things up, you've also cleared up the fact that he does not have a good sense ogf judgment. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 17:38, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::I did not say that you said that you hated the website. I merely drew logical conclusions based on the information available to me. I knew that you stated that you trusted his judgement and I knew you stated that he insisted that Joey and I were evil. You did not tell me the sequence of events until just now. Also, you led me to believe that he had told you on more than one occasion that Joey and I were evil because you used the word "drilling" which in the way you used it means something done repeatedly over a period of time. I implore you from this moment forward to ''always think before you type'' and to not leave out such important information.

Hey Tom I was wondering about something. Why did you remove <nowiki><div class="usermessage"></nowiki> from [[User talk:H*bad/sig|here]]?--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 17:41, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

:I did that while I was attempting to fix the problem at [[User talk:HickleSwoo]], where AbdiViklas had used the section edit link to add a note for HickleSwoo, but Abdi was really editing your welcome message (which should really be moved to [[User:H*bad/welcome]], instead of being at [[User_talk:H*bad/sig]]). The first thing I did was remove the usermessage div, since it was making Abdi's note bold and orange as well. I didn't add it back because the usermessage class was designed with one purpose in mind and using it for other things makes them look poor, there's much too orange. Also, I ended up fixing the problem by substituting the template, which you should do from now on by typing <nowiki>{{subst:User:H*bad/welcome}}</nowiki>. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:55, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

==Help Another Wiki?==
Greetings from [http://starwars.wikia.com Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki]. :) I'm one of the administrators over there ([http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/User:Jaymach Jaymach], if you'd like to check) and I have been told by [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] that you may be able to help us with something we are attempting to implement over there. We're looking into possibly using your "Image Code" verification, but only want to use it for Page Moves rather than every Page Edit. Do you know if this is possible at all and, if it is, is there any chance you could inform us how to do so? Feel free to contact me on [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Jaymach my talk page]. Many thanks. (I'd sign this, but it'd be from my anon IP so there seems little point)

== You have '''no''' new messages! Ever! ==
Hey, Tom! Nice to see you asgain. I'm having some glitchtastic problems at the fanstuff wiki with the "you have new messages" thing. Every time I log in, it says I have new messages. The link is to user talk: Seriously, not Special: Mytalk, so it's definitely not a prank. When I go to my talk page via the link, there's nothing new. I even checked the page history, and its last edit was be me. It's always on the main page, so I viewed the source and it didn't have <tt><nowiki><div class="usermessage">You have new messages</div> </nowiki></tt>, so I can't see how it could be a prank. Therefore, it must be some kind of glitch. Can you help me out with it, if possible? Thanks a bunch. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:05, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

:The message can only be cleared by going to either [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/User_talk:Seriously] or [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Seriously] while you are logged in.

:I didn't say the archive didn't exist. The message reads "It is no longer necessary to list vandals on this page" you added "This is the page: HRWiki:WikiTroll Archive" to that. [[HRWiki:WikiTroll Archive]] is not the page for listing vandals. There no longer is a page for listing vandals.

:There's no need to remove user pages from the list of wanted pages. Also, not only has this been turned down by the community before (someone back in March 2005 created a "Template:Blank user page" that included a "Category:User pages without content"), but it would mean that someone would be editing someone else's user page, which is frowned upon. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

By the way, please don't post on my talk page when there's a vandal. Posts like that are obsolete almost the minute you put them there. If I'm online, I either already know or can be reached in other ways. I would wager the other users in that list would feel the same way (especially Joey, who has entrusted the vast majority of vandal hunting to a very competent and numerous group of sysops). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey tom,
Sorry to bother - I saw you wanted me to upgrade my wiki. I tried, but I couldn't get it to work. I'm a guitar player first...just remember that.

:Instructions for upgrading are in [http://www.wikiguitar.net/UPGRADE your upgrade file]. Again, you should read the [[MetaWikiPedia:Help:Contents|MediaWiki documentation]] to better understand the software, for instance the page on [[MetaWikiPedia:Help:upgrading MediaWiki|Upgrading MediaWiki]] could be of some help.

==Question==

Is there any particular reason why I was re-banned from IRC? If I'm not mistaken, all I did my last time there (after, apparently, having been un-banned at some point) was describe an odd dream I had had in which (among other things) Nazi troops goose-stepped through my college campus. --[[User:Gowbda|Gowbda]] 03:42, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

:Nope, nothing has changed. There apparently was a brief hiccup in the freenode network. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

::Ah. Well then, could I perhaps be unbanned? Seeing that, during the time when I was effectively unbanned, I did nothing more trollish than describing the aforesaid dream. Oh, and plug a new wiki I started, that too. --[[User:Gowbda|Gowbda]] 06:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

:We've been through this several times now. You've been banned from the HRWiki related IRC channels. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

== Why? ==

Hey Tom, In reference to {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Stux/PECLT&diff=next&oldid=403691 this}} edit, what is your thought process behind leaving it as <nowiki>{{tick}}</nowiki>? I thought that by making it static instead of dynamic, it put less load on the server much in the same way that subst does. Can you explain?
{{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
:For that series of templates, the wikicode looks much cleaner to leave them as {{t|tick}}, {{t|todo}}, and {{t|done}}, and server load isn't really an issue for us like it is for Wikipedia (otherwise we wouldn't allow templates to be used as signatures). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:36, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

::In addition to that, I had thought your reason for changing them to the new PNG was a way of clearing the [[:Image:wiki_tick.GIF#filelist|filelist for wiki_tick.GIF]], which only had [[User:Stux/PECLT]] on it the last time I checked. That's why my edit summary talked about purging and dummy editing, since the PNG had already replaced the GIF in {{tl|tick}} but still hadn't show up on that page as such. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

== Line break in subtitles ==

Why did you remove the <nowiki> </nowiki> tags in [[Subtitles:sbemail56/nl]]? It made the subtitles look less chaotic. --[[User:Pdedecker|Pdedecker]] 12:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

:I took them out because they weren't in the [[Subtitles:sbemail56/en|English language version]] of the subtitles and I'm not familiar with that formatting being used in any of the other subtitles. I did this because it is my understanding that [[HRWiki:Subtitles|subtitles]] aren't meant to convey formatting, only words and the associated properties (speaker, volume, voiceover, sfx) of those words. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

::Have you ever seen a television program with subtitles? They do this stuff [http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/4594/substi1.jpg all] [http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/3532/subs2nb4.jpg the] [http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/7430/subs3dt4.jpg time] because it makes the subs easier to read. :) ''(PS: feel free to remove these links as soon as you've seen them; I can understand that you don't want links to copyrighted material on this wiki.)'' --[[User:Pdedecker|Pdedecker]] 19:16, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

:::I don't see any text on the show there that's being translated into another language with the formatting of the subtitles being formatted the same as the different language text. I see text on two lines. I don't know if the second line is that way because of it being spoken by a different speaker than the first (we break lines for that reason here) or if the line break naturally occurred at that point because of the width of the screen (we also do that here). I know text can occur on two lines, sure, but (it's my understanding that) subtitles aren't meant to convey the formatting of text. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
::::In my not-so expert opinion: normally subtitles don't need to convey formatting, since they represent spoken dialogue (though like you said, they can be separated in order to diferrentiate speakers), however typed text is handled a little differently. Since the original artwork generally can assume the viewer can read in their native language, that text is of course translated. Short items, like titles and such, fit in one line, however larger amounts of text is often laid out in the same format that the original text is presented. This is often the case in some Anime titles when newspapers or multi-line signs are presented. There really are no "rules" against it. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 11:29, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

:::::(quote) ''or if the line break naturally occurred at that point because of the width of the screen'' (unquote) Yup, that's what I was referring to. In this case, I think the subtitles should not exceed the width of the Flash movie or they will look chaotic. Do you think that's a good idea? --[[User:Pdedecker|Pdedecker]] 15:28, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

::::::No, that simply wouldn't work. Not everyone has the same size screen or views the toon in the same size window. Since [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|the script]] resizes the toon according to those factors, it's not practical to attempt to format the subtitles like you describe. That's not to say that there shouldn't be gobs and gobs of text on the screen at once, but that's why we have [[HRWiki:Subtitles#How to Write Your Own|guidelines for breaking up the text]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::::The preferrable way, as Tom alluded to, for breaking up text into more manageable pieces in a subtitle here is to introduce a new line. Some existing subtitles aren't terribly well broken up, in my opinion, and I see no reason not to improve the line breaks as is warranted in translation. But line breaks, unless actually required for semantic context, aren't needed. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

==Heylo!==

To Whom It May Concern,

Hello! My name is RelentlessRecusant, and I am a bureaucrat on Halo Fan Fiction Wikia. I know you're one of the top dogs around here and you don't have much time, so I'll make this brief. ;-)

I've been working with H*Bad closely for four months on Halo Fanon Wikia. The night HF Wikia was created by my request, I immediately made H*Bad a co-bureaucrat along with me, because I know from reputation that he is a trustable individual. Recently, he has been conferring with me about his block from HR Wiki, and based on his conversation, I feel individually compelled to seek you out and speak to you on his behalf.

In my months working with him, he has been a dedicated and trustworthy individual even in an administrative position, and recently he has been speaking to me that his block at HR Wiki has been haunting him or one another. I feel that it is unreasonable for a block to cause such guilt in a user...it's pretty painful to see my fellow Bureaucrat say that. ;-)

You can message me back at my talk page or email me at alpha_217@verizon.net, sir.

Later!! ;-)

Cheers,

[[User:RelentlessRecusant|RelentlessRecusant]] 21:26, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

:If Chris's block is haunting him, then that's too bad. It's certainly not haunting us. In fact, we don't even think about it anymore. He was given numerous (half a dozen or more) chances to get his act together, until he finally used up his last chance. We're done with that whole mess. He should let it go, too. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

:RR, there seems to be a recent trend that some of the rather nasty vandals use their more civil personas to ask others to plead their "case" on this wiki. I'm sorry to read that you've been the latest one to be used by one of them.

So, if anybody does anything funny under my account, I just thought I should let someone with special authorities and privileges and whatnot know about it (although I have since changed my password). I might start a new account just in case, but I'm not sure yet how that'll work out.

== Forum Redirect ==

Since the HRWiki forum is down, alot of the regular users have taken refuge to http://www.inversetiger.com/forum/ . However, pretty much the only way for people on the forum to communicate to each other now is by email. Since barely anyone shows their email address, the last resort option is to communicate by editing your sig. Even then, most people don't go looking through a locked forum looking at people's sigs(which is where I found the link). The result: Only the regular users found link. So, I figured that it would be best if you posted some sort of link on the front page of the Wiki or something so people can find it.

== Fanstuff Purge: Wiki User Emails ==

There are currently a few Wiki User Emails on the list of fanstuffs to be saved, and it's been decided that this would be a great chance to get them over to the Wiki User Wiki. My question is whether it would be easier to use whatever fancy method you're using to transfer them across or whether it would be easier to just do it manually. 
Cheers, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don't know if this is the specific fancy way that DC's going to use, but if you want to transfer stuff, then the easy way is to go to [[HRFWiki:Special:Export]], and put in all the page-names (one per line), and mash go. That'll give you an XML file that you can feed into Special:Import on WUW (you'll need to be sysop to use Special:Import, but Special:Export can usually be run by anyone). As well as being able to copy lots of pages in one hit, you can also (if you want) include each page's history, and all the templates they use. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Santa — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 19:24:17 GMT

Santa: /* SBCG4AP */

==Weclome==

Okay, now that you've seen this page it's time I went ahead and introduced myself. I'm Rexy (note there's quite a fair amount of these around the web; if that name's already taken I usually opt for freqrexy), I'm a young adult, and close friends refer to me as Bev. I live in England (even though my Youtube videos hint that my accent fuses in American/Canadian/Mediterranean/Australian references from time to time) and am working in an admin office (similar case to Strong Bad, except he works on Fridays and I don't).

==How I found Homestar Runner==

Since this is the HRWiki after all, I might as well discuss how I found it. I used to hang out at the [http://www.raymanzone.com RaymanZone] forums quite a lot, or at least during the heyday for Rayman 3.

Sometime in the summer of 2003, there was an old thread in which we could discuss what we would ideally look like as personas. Someone there stated that they'd look just like [[Stinkoman|"this blue haired guy"]] and linked to the [[japanese cartoon]] sbemail while they were at it. I loved animé as an art form back then, so it's inevitable that I understood the genre getting humorously satired there.

It wasn't long until I went back to the website and started looking around for other toons, including some of the other more recent [[Compy 386]] sbemails and the first toon I saw, [[Where's The Cheat?]]. And since then, I knew I was on to something. :D

==What else do I like aside from H*R?==

There's quite a few things that I also enjoy alongside the Brothers Chaps' work. So let's get down to it.

===Videogames===

This is a big passion of mine, and something to help me escape from it all. I've been with SEGA as a kid, Sony during my adolescent years, and I'm currently getting a lot of time with the Wii these days. The first game that I ever played was the original Sonic the Hedgehog on the Genesis, and everything started to catapult upwards from there.

In terms of specific franchises, key favorites of mine at this moment in time are Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Mario, Kirby (at least prior to Nightmare in Dreamland), Katamari Damacy, Jak & Daxter and the like. I'm open to a good chunk of games to explore - I'm never biased to just one system during a console war discussion.

===Artwork===

I like doing artwork - haven't been active in doing so for a while but it's still a great hobby. I'm [http://rexrock69.deviantart.com rexrock69] over at DeviantArt. I namely specialise in traditional coloring over computer programs, mind you.

===Writing===

Strong Bad may dislike fanfics, but I enjoy writing them when I get the chance. I'm [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/149049/ RexRock] over at Fanfiction.net.

===Music===

Now, this is a big hobby of mine. I contribute MIDIs to [http://www.vgmusic.com VGMusic.com] on a regular basis, I have [http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01324/ two] [http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01464/ songs] under my name at OverClocked ReMix, I used to take part in the [http://www.dwellingofduels.com Dwelling of Duels] back in the day (mainly around 2005 and 2006), and all that. I've even started doing some symphonic cover tracks of games that I enjoyed playing, all hosted at [http://www.studio-rex.tk Studio-Rex.tk].

It's a crazy hobby, I know, but this is what you get when one undertook a lot of piano lessons/duties while growing up, studied Music Technology at sixth form college and at University, and basically listens to a lot of music :)

===Videos===

I sometimes record myself playing videogames too; everything's up on my [http://www.youtube.com/freqrexy Youtube] page. Good luck trying to understand my dodgy accent. :P

==My Contributions==

Here is where I archive everything important that I do to the website. It's not much for now, but I'm sure it'll develop.

===[[HRWiki:Subtitles|Subtitles]]===

I have contributed the bulk of the subtitles for:

*[[being mean]]
*[[Costume Commercial]]
*[[Most in the Graveyard]]

===[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|SBCG4AP]]===

* I have contributed about 70-80% of all dialogue for the responses archive to [[Strong Badia the Free]].
* I wrote up the transcript for the [[Baddest of the Bands gameplay trailer]].
* I have also written the transcript for episode 2 of [[Behind the Bad]].

This will grow in due time. I've got my eye on the goings on for H*R. [[User:Rexy|Rexy]] 06:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
