== Matt on Twitter ==

So, one of my followers did a Follow Friday for someone named Ron Planet, saying they were the voice of Strong Bad. I followed them and it seems like it really is Matt, and he has some unofficial answers to questions being posted by users here on the wiki. Here's the link to his Twitter page: [http://twitter.com/#!/ronginald]--[[User:The Swedish Ace|The Swedish Ace]] 01:10, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

== STUFF namespace ==

Since STUFF has been dead for years and there aren't even any pages in the STUFF namespace, should that namespace still exist? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 10:20, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

::There ''are'' pages in the STUFF namespace... They're just deleted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:03, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

== Website Dead? ==

Alright, there hasn't been an OFFICIAL toon or update or anything since December 22, 2010. In internet terms, this site is DEAD.
: It's not dead as long as it's still being hosted, and it is. What's more, we just recently got some info from the Bros. Chaps, admittedly not on the website, indicating that they're still around. Besides, even if it was dead, what impact would that have on this Wiki? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:56, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
::Matt's on Twitter and he's said a few times that he really wants to get back into the business of making flash cartoons. I, for one, think we'll see a legit halloween toon this year. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:33, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
:::Let's just hope our "weens" don't get crossed again. Also, Forum? {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 21:49, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

:::::Dates, please, look at the dates. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 09:56, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

== Sounds promising... ==

From Matt's twitter: "no one in their right mind would willingly stop making Homestar cartoons for a living. #needlesslycryptic" o.O
:Unless he's implying he and Mike are in their wrong minds! Holy crop! --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 08:21, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
::Or that he and Mike were forced to stop, unwillingly. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.11|128.103.10.11]] 02:04, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

== Woah ==

I just rediscovered this place after, about what 3 years? There was a remembrance thread about H*R on /co/ and I remembered this place and still remembered my username so I typed it in and Bam, I just gotta say, wow, I look like such a kid back in '08 its unbelievable how much Ive seemed to change. but yeah the point I guess here is to just say thanks to anyone still here for bearing with me for my formative years on the Internet, I remember really loving this place. :) 06:59, 9 October 2011 (UTC){{User:Coach B/sig}}
:I feel the same way myself about my looking like a kid here...See, back when I was on the forum as TheHumanScreenshot (and occasionally on the wiki as Mr. Screenshot), I had a habit of linking to a really lame crossover webcomic I wrote at the time ''everywhere'' that I could, including my userpage on the wiki, the [[Comic Sightings]] page (to this day, I'm still afraid to go there to see if what I wrote has been edited since then), and several forum threads. Once I started learning how dumb my comic was, I quit posting to the forum and stopped logging in on the wiki out of shame. To this day, if I want an edit made to an article, I will usually hope someone else makes it for me, occasionally post anonymously to the talk page about it, and, very rarely, make the edit myself (also anonymously); I also have gone back to merely lurking on the forum.
:Maybe someday I'll start logging in again, have my username changed to something unrelated to my comic, and start being an active member of the wiki, but I'm still reluctant to right now...
:Welcome back, by the way! Er...I mean, I don't know if we ever met on the forum, seeing as how I don't remember seeing your username, but welcome back anyway :) [[Special:Contributions/71.42.230.20|71.42.230.20]] 02:41, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

== wiki-exclusive ==

We always knew we were special. Its is nice when the TBC give us a nod, whether it be exclusive content or contribution during a pledge drive. I wonder if there are enough of these occurrences to warrant its own page? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 11:05, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
:You mean something like [[The Brothers Chaps' Fansite Acknowledgments]]? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 11:12, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
::Yep, precisely. We should do that some day :) {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 11:14, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

== TMBG ALBUM ==

A song from sbemails (200 sbemails to be precise) is being released on TMBG's new album "New Album Raises New and Troubling Questions"
Notable news to be added to the page?

:I think a note in the Fun Facts or somewhere on [[email thunder]] would suffice, with appropriate mentions on [[They Might Be Giants]] and links to the relevant places on [[tmbw:Main Page|This Might Be a Wiki]] (like [[tmbw:Album Raises New And Troubling Questions|Album Raises New And Troubling Questions]]). I don't think it needs to be added to "What's new?". -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:27, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
::Don't forget [[sightings]]. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:22, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
:::I don't think sightings is the best place. They Might Be Giants are more affiliated with [[The Brothers Chaps]] than the entities listed there. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 22:05, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

==Holiday logo changeover==
The Wiki logo hasn't been changed to the Ween-themed one. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 04:11, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
:You don't say? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:12, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
::It's November. Shouldn't the Halloween logo be removed? [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 00:11, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
:::Yes, actually. The plan has been to take down the decorations today, which we will do in just a little bit. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:59, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

==Logo bug==
And speaking of the logo, there is a problem with it that I and a couple of others have experienced: sometimes, it does not move out of view when scrolling down - the big word Wiki stays at the top of the screen, and there is a white box the size of the logo that just stays there. What is causing this problem? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 04:11, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
:Could not reproduce. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:16, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
::RickTommy, are you using Firefox? Hovering over the left arrow button (back button) while at the top of the page brings down a strange white box that does not appear on any other element. un-hovering fixes that, but it re-appears if you hover it again. It only happens on the HRWiki logo, and no where else. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 09:58, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

== Cookie issue ==

In Chrome, whenever I go to the forum from the wiki while logged in, then back to the wiki, I find myself logged out. Yet when I go back to my previous wiki session, I strangely find myself logged back in. What is causing this problem? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 05:27, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
:If I'm right, the specific browser isn't relevant. My guess is you're logged in to hrwiki.org (without the www), but the forum links back to www.hrwiki.org, which for technical reasons that we haven't ever fixed is treated like a separate site. A workaround for the issue is to log in to both hrwiki.org and www.hrwiki.org. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:35, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

== AWESOMEST IDEA EVER ==

Mike and Matt read the wiki, right? Maybe someone could change the main page of the wiki to look like [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sandbox&oldid=727369 this] and Mike and/or Matt will see it and think "Those people want us to make more H*R toons, let's do it!" --{{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 21:01, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
:Good idea or not a good idea? <u>YOU</u> decide! --{{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 02:36, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
:: Very bad idea. Makes us look desperate, and let's be honest: do you really think that Mike and Matt believe we don't want to see more H*R toons? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:03, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
:::My ideas never work. :( --{{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 16:19, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
::::And why might that be?

== Orphaned Articles ==

What should I do if I find an article that's not linked to from any toons' or games' articles, but don't have time to add the links myself? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 18:38, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
: Are they already on [[Special:LonelyPages]]? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:57, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
:: [[Awesome]] isn't there, because my user page and some Talk pages link to it. However, last time I checked, no toons' or games' pages linked to it. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 02:21, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

== Theme ==

The theme hasn't been changed to the Christmas one. {{User:Dagoth/sig}} 15:05, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

* True, are there official on/off dates? However...it isn't ''technically'' winter yet. [[Special:Contributions/71.61.77.139|71.61.77.139]] 01:47, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

== Ees Deg ==

Did you know that right-clicking on the logo and selecting "play" will cause it to toggle between, in this order:
*Homestar in hat?
*Homestar in mistletoe?
*Marzipan with lights in hair?
*Strong Bad in hat?
It's pretty cool. You should check it out if you didn't know.--[[User:Strongstarhomebad|Strongstarhomebad]] 16:39, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
