Hey Dot com. I noticed you gave me a color pointer on my talk page, which I'm greatful for. But what I didn't get was your pick? Which is your favorite? Thanks, ?Thunderbird? 03:42, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

My favorite is the one that's the easiest to read: #CD9B1D — It's dot com

Oh, my bad. You were there. Sorry 'bout that. I think it was because of the two different styles of sig, or something. I dunno. I need more sleep... ?Thunderbird? 14:43, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

No probalo. — It's dot com 15:45, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

That one guy

Hey man, I put your link on my page. Change it if you don't like the way it's linked. Everything is up for discussion on my page, go ahead and talk all you want and encourage others to do so also. Thechamp 02:58, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. — It's dot com

Thanks for all your help, um... where can I talk with people again? -it's that annoying guy again!

Well, it's late. A lot of people are probably going to bed soon. Most people like to talk when something happens, like the release of a new toon. So check back on Monday. — It's dot com 04:41, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, It is late, isn't it. I'm surprised you, BazukaJoe, and some other guy, are still awake... I'm too tired to spell rite.

Listen, In the morn' discuss the stuff I gots on me' page, if I'm around...n' stuff. Thechamp 04:49, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)Thechamp

Sure. — It's dot com 04:53, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Hey! It's dot com, are you awake? Thechamp 15:16, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Anyone know how long your supposed to cook beef stu? Thechamp 18:20, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about the edditing, I just neede to get your attention. Can you tell me who usually goes on the forums? Thechamp 18:24, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Hundreds of people. Many of them are on this wiki. Many of them aren't. —BazookaJoe 18:51, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

How come no one is talking about my Idea that I had? I thought it was good, does no one else think so? Thechamp 18:35, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

This isn't exactly the wiki where people care about story ideas. Fanstuff like that goes on the Fanstuff wiki. —BazookaJoe 18:51, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Martin F.

Hey, Its Martin F. lol Thanks for the inspiration. You and I both have a similar experience with being introduced wih Homestar. You do a great job editing. See you around the Wiki! --Martin925 03:02, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Martin. See ya 'round! — It's dot com 20:07, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Go Bearcats!

Are you from missouri or the area? The Bearcats aren't well known outside the area.. --Adamlw 05:17, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Actually, no, I'm not. I've only been to Missouri a handful of times. I confess I looked it up. Go google! — It's dot com 05:22, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Signature

Hi, It's dot com. I need your help.. your the only one I really trust to have enough patients with me! Anydangways, could you help me figiure out how to make my signiture stand out? I notice that alot of people do that, but I have no clue how. Homestramy20 06:45, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Oh, never mind. The Paper helped me Homestramy20|^Talk 06:48, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Glad you got that worked out. I made a couple of code tweaks for you so that the date would show up correctly on the same line as the sig. Wish I could've helped you more, but I've gotta sleep sometime. ;) — It's dot com 13:51, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Thank you VERY MUCH

I want to say thank you for being concerned, the whole situation was awkward and strange, but in the end i'm glad to know that you cared. It's great to have such a great friend here on HRWiki. Homestramy20|^Talk 23:58, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Always. And should you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. — It's dot com 00:39, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me. Man, I feel stupid right now... --thatkidsam 19:23, 11 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Don't feel dumb. Stuff like that happens to all of us. — It's dot com 19:34, 11 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Pronounced with an "RWiki"

This is a bit trivial, but an interesting fact. As you know, I'm all hung up on England, and even spent three weeks there. In response to your question 'wouldn't it be pronounced aitch-are-wiki?', the answer is 'no'. Not in England. Just the same way they pronounce the letter Z as 'zed', they also put an H sound in front of H, making it 'haitch' or something thereof. I'm not sure if this is of significance, but it's an interesting fun-fact nonetheless. I think so, anyway. But since the Wiki (and H*R itself) are American-based, your 'an HRWiki namespace' would technically be correct. --DorianGray

What do I think of the English, huh? Oh, I'll tell you what I think of the English! {the rest of this post has been BANNED IN THE U.K.} — It's dot com

Archives.org

I wasn't sure where to ask this, but you seem to know alot. So what exactly is this archives.org that people keep retrieving treasures from? How does it really work, and would you be able to provide me with an answer to my question on Talk:some kinda robot? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 05:50, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I'm not really all that familiar with that, TBird. You might try the FAQ talk. — It's dot com

Actually, Nikolce, I'm a big believer in keeping threads in one place. But you're welcome to add me to your watchlist if you want, at least until you get a reply. — It's dot com 05:07, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Pledge Drive

Hey ther It's dot com, how have you been i myself have been doing great. Let me ask you something, what happens if Homestar runner wiki doesn't get the 2005 Fall Pledge Drive money? Nikolce Kocovski 01:53, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Hello, Nikolce. I'm just fine. Glad to hear you're doing well. I don't know the exact answer to your question. You should ask JoeyDay. — It's dot com 02:04, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Meaning

Hey there it's dot com, how have you been, can i ask you something, what does this mean:Thank you! The Homestar Runner Wiki raised over $980 in its 2005 Fall Pledge Drive. Unfortunately, we didn't reach our pledge drive goal. You're still welcome to make a donation.

We apologize, but due to circumstances beyond our control, new-user registration and anonymous editing have been disabled. If you are the vandal responsible, please email mail_icon.giftom@hrwiki.org. Thank you.

Also whats your Top 10 Sb emails, and your botton 10?

Nikolce Kocovski 06:55, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

I'll let It's dot com field the favorites, but I can answer your question about the header. I'm not sure which part of it you were asking about, but:

• The Pledge Drive was a time to encourage users to donate money voluntarily to help pay for the wiki's costs (explained in that link). It's a way of raising money that some organizations use over here, especially public radio. We didn't raise as much money as we had hoped; discussion about that is at HRWiki_talk:2005_Fall_Pledge_Drive#Looking_ahead.
• We had to stop letting people register as users, or edit pages if they weren't users, because of an attack by a vandal who used over 1,000 usernames to vandalize pages.
• By the way, I'm not sure which internet browser you're using, but FireFox has a plugin that lets you click on a word to look it up in an online dictionary. I can imagine this being very helpful to people for whom English is not their first language; if there's an English-to-Macedonian online dictionary, you could even customize it to that! —AbdiViklas 03:07, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey there It's dot com

Nick here, how have you been, i've been doing great, can i ask you something, fo you happen to knoe some people called AbdiViklas, Heimstern Läufer, Sir strong bad, and bubsty?

Nikolce Kocovski 06:30, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Sure, I know them all. — It's dot com

Something in common

Greetings there it's dot com, how have you been, i've been doing great, i saw on your user page and we have something in common, i too like simpsons and family guy, but i have a couple of questions(is there another word for question) regarding this and other unrelated topics:

1. don't you like the recent episodes of simpsons?
2. don't you like a cartoon made by the simpsons called futurama?
3. what have you been up to?
4. do you know a user by the name of elvis?
5. did you have a bulling problem in school?

Nikolce Kocovski 11:27, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

My, Nikolce, what interesting questions you have.

1. I don't like the new Simpsons episodes. I haven't liked them since about the time Maude died and Barney got sober, around six years ago. When the show first aired, the episodes had a completely different feel. The plots were more straightforward, a lot of the humor was biting and satirical, and the characters had heart and soul. One of my favorite episodes (#7F19) is when Lisa's teacher thinks she has Lyme disease and a substitute teaches her class. I found it to be so moving that nearly fifteen years later, as I type this, I still get a little misty-eyed. Nowadays, however, the plots jump all over the place (if there even is a plot to speak of), and it's unusual for story elements introduced in the first act to figure into the last act at all. The humor has lost its edge and is more wacky and non-sequitur (like a bad imitation of Family Guy) or just plain stupid. They seem to have run out of ideas and just rehash the same tired, unfunny running gags. The characters, which used to be more well-rounded, are one-dimensional shells of their former selves. I guess somewhere along the line the writers realized you can't have real character growth if your cast never ages. What saddens me most is that younger viewers, some of whom weren't even born during the early years, think that what they're churning out now is as good as it's ever been, and that's just not so. *sigh*
2. Yes, I like Matt Groening's other main creation, Futurama. Being set in the future and largely in space means they can get away with more, and overall I appreciate at as a silly diversion kind of show. I'm not an avid fan or anything, but if I happen to catch an episode here or there on Cartoon Network, then I'll watch.
3. Well, besides work, getting ready for Christmas, and working on the wiki, I'd say not much.
4. No, I've never heard of a user by that name before today.
5. Heh, do you mean was I a bully, or was I bullied by other kids? Either way, the answer is no, not really. Not more than normal kid stuff. What makes you ask?

It's dot com 17:27, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

If you go to my user page you'll see why i asked. Which is your favourite episode and which is your funniest episode? By the way, would you consider homestar runner to be a bit like simpsons: having lots of stuff from real life? Nikolce Kocovski 02:02, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Trolls?

Hey ther It's dot com, how have you been this fine couple of days, i've been doing great anyway onto business:

i have a question for you, whats a troll?

Nikolce Kocovski 04:47, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I hope It's dot com won't mind me answering the last part for him: In Scandinavian mythology, trolls are monsters. On the internet, the word is used for people who try to harm a particular community instead of help it. The way we use it is well explained at HRWiki:Glossary#T and also this discussion. —AbdiViklas 05:08, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

And even better explained here. — _talk Bubsty _edits 05:14, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

wasn't a troll a monster in overall fantasy eg:lord of rings, warcraft, dungeons and dragons etc?

Nikolce Kocovski 07:37, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, that's also true. They also appear in Harry Potter, and I have a quote on my user page that refers to that. But here on the Wiki, we use the term to refer to vandals who try to screw up the Wiki. Sometimes they add useless (and often offensive) messages to the pages, sometimes they delete material from the pages, sometimes they change the page titles to nonsense, sometimes they create useless pages. As good users, it's our job to fix whatever they screw up and report them to the sysops, because the sysops can block them from editing. Heimstern Läufer 07:41, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

It looks like you guys have covered everything here. — It's dot com

Alphabetizing Categories and Catchin' Trolls

This seems like a good place to put stuff... I don't wanna clutter your talk by making new categories, that's why I keep piggybacking my messages. Ever thought of Archiving!? (gasp!) Hehe. Anyway on to buisness:

• Ooooohhh! Right! So that's what it does. I thought it changed how the entry looked in the category list, and seeing no change, thought it did nothing. I had to remove it cuz it was autolinking to PseudoCharacters edit page, and I am sure I had created the link after I made the page. And I think I tried to purge... the hard way... Maybe? Anyway thanks for the fix!
• BTW check out my first troll person report!

--Stux 16:10, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

    If a comment really is a continuation of an earlier thread, then go ahead and piggyback, but if it's a new thought, then it's perfectly fine to (and I prefer that you would) start a new thread. :) I reorganize my talk page from time to time and it helps me keep everything straight. As for archiving, I'm probably gonna put it off for at least a little bit longer. Only recently has this page exploded to the point that archiving would be necessary. If you want to see a page really in need of being split, look at Tom's talk page.

    As for the user who deleted things, well, he's not a troll. You may disagree with the things he deleted, but each example was something that is borderline. I even agree with a couple of them. Also, there's no reason to think that he saw the message left him in the edit summaries. Most anonymous users probably never look there. If you need to leave him a note, you should do so on his talk page.

    Sorry for removing him from the troll list, because I can tell you're proud of it and that your heart is in the right place. Don't worry... there'll be plenty others. ;) — It's dot com 16:36, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Yeah.... I was proud of it. You're quite observant! :). Bye troll edit :'( ... ;) To me they looked like random edits removing credible information. He was just over that side of the line (except for his first edit). Oh well. Next time! Catch ya later! --Stux 20:36, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

ATTENTION: this is a joke, don't take it seriously

I thought you of all people would know that it's against the rules to tamper with other people's comments. I'll let it slide this time, but try to be more careful in the future. Username-talk 15:46, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Well, at least I justified it by doing it for no good reason whatsoever. ;) ...Seriously (and I know you said don't take it seriously), you can fix others' formatting to a point, so long as you don't change the content of their comments. And, for purely aesthetic value, those color words really needed to be colorized. I would have gone with green for "greediest" (which of course is not a color word, just different from "greatest"), but it was already taken by "greenest." — It's dot com 16:35, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I know... Just a little too bored this morning. I usually don't let it get the best of me, but what can I say. Username-talk 18:04, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Likewise, I only replied (partly) seriously because I don't like comments to go unanswered, especially on my own talk page, and I couldn't think of what else to say. Also, if someone comes along and reads this later, I wanted to explain it so they'll have a clue as to what we were talking about. — It's dot com 18:18, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Hey, it's my sig color! *is greediest* :p Homestar Coder 19:10, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Hi from H*L!

Hallo! I was so glad that my new page was noticed by a Wiki legend like yourself... Anydangway, it's cool to be welcomed into the Wiki community. I seem to be gaining popularity among current and former music students. Keep on tranglin'. Heimstern Läufer 04:33, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply. I must have missed your comments. A legend? Heh, I don't know about that, but it's kind of you to say. And tranglin' is my middle name. Well, actually "dot" is, but if I ever changed my name, it might be to that. — It's tranglin' com 23:33, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Sandbox Talk

Since talking through Sandbox edits can get old, I figure I'd at least close the conversation here! :) Anyway thanks for the help making the edit easier, even if I was done by that time. At least I have a better idea of how play around with this more efficiently! :D --Stux 04:35, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Heh. Yeah, I was gonna follow along with what you were doing, but all that extra stuff kept getting in the way. Oh, well. Glad I could almost help. ;) — It's dot com 04:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
