HRWiki talk:Da Basement

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Temporary name / New name

"Sysop water cooler" is really only intended to be a temprorary name. It just doesn't say Homestar Runner to me. I'm thinking of something more along the lines of "The Stick", but that name's already taken for our community portal. Anybody have any good ideas? — Joey (talk·edits) 15:22, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"Bubs' Concession Stand". "Cheat Commandos Headquarters". "Behind the Fence". "Marshmallow's Last Stand". Aurora the Homestar Coder 15:26, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm not a sysop, but I'm thinking between

• Bubs' Concession Stand
• The Locker Room
• (or my personal favorite) The Grill

You have The Stick, why not The Grill? Cheatachu72 16:00, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Those are all great names. None of them have the same oomph as "The Stick" though. I do kinda like "Behind the Fence". Let's keep thinking. — Joey (talk·edits) 16:53, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I like "Marshmallow's Last Stand" and "Behind the Fence" the best. —FireBird|Talk 17:00, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

My favorite that I've thought of: "Strongbadia/Sysop Action Cool News" We're investiga-awesome!

Heh. I like that. —FireBird|Talk 17:25, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Also: "The Couch" (guess I'm just a fount of ideas ;) ) Aurora the Homestar Coder 17:27, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ooh! Ooh! "da Basement" from Arcade Game. —FireBird|Talk 17:30, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Buffalo-style Ranch. Haha. Style. --BazookaJoe 17:32, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I love "Da Basement". Aurora the Homestar Coder 17:35, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm down with "Da Basement" as well. — InterruptorJones 18:32, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah! Da Basement! — Kilroy / talk 18:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I'll move the page. -- Tom 20:52, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This page is awsome, and it even has my widescreen pic on it! That one took me close to half an hour to crop them together, glad to see my pic is going to good use. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 21:17, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Da Basement

(Can't beleive i'm posting here...) Should Da Basement redirect here? It's a main namespace page and it should redir to Strong Bad's Basement instead I think. --Stux 01:29, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so. — It's dot com 01:41, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I do. Salty^Talk! 02:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Wait, if the question is "should Da Basement link here" then I don't think so. If the question is "should we change it" then yes. Salty^Talk! 02:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Salty on this one. A better shortcut for the power users would be HRWiki:DB. —BazookaJoe 02:16, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

"Da Basement" does already link here. I'd also like to point out, on the same tack, that "Sandbox" and "sandbox" automatically go to HRWiki:Sandbox, and "WikiTroll" goes to HRWiki:WikiTroll. It's easier for those who don't want to write out the HRWiki part every time (like me). --DorianGray

Right, but who's going to look up a H*R-related "sandbox" or "wikitroll"? I think Da Basement would be best suited to go to Strong Bad's Basement. —BazookaJoe 02:19, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I can also go further and say that we should think about shortening the shortcuts for those too lazy (this includes me sometimes) to type out HRWIKI:. Just like Wikipedia: shortcuts are WP:. Perhaps we could use the namespace HRW:, or HW:, or WIKI: to satisfy us. —BazookaJoe 02:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
