Welcome!

Hey, Loafing, welcome to the Homestar Runner Wiki! We can always use new registered users around here, so I'm glad you're on. A word of warning, though: Before you do any major editing, you'll want to read up on our editing standards. And if this is the first MediaWiki based wiki (or first wiki) you've used check out the MediaWiki User's Guide, or for quick reference, our Help:Editing page. If you have any questions that aren't answered on our FAQ, post them on its talk page, or you can ask me directly. Most people here are pretty good about assuming stupidity [read: ignorance] rather than malice. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 00:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Cheers :-) — Loafing 08:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Teen girl squad summary

Hello, I must tell you to refrain from cursing on your summaries. There are little kids here who might find if offensive and never come back. We want to keep this site as clean as possible.--H*Bad 05:06, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for that. Happened in the heat of the moment. Is there a way of changing a summary afterwards?  Loafing 05:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes. But only by the developers. Maybe ask Tom.--H*Bad 05:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Cheers. I just did :-)  Loafing 05:23, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi there!

Hey, Loafing, just wanted to tell you I've seen you editing around here lately and that you're doing good work for our wiki. Keep up the good work! Heimstern Läufer 11:54, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks :-D Loafing 12:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

You're awesome!

If a new sysop nomination page comes up, I nominate you. -- Super Martyo boing! 02:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Lol, cheers ;-) You're not too bad yourself :-P  Loafing 02:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

thanks! i like to be a bit humble and low-key, though. -- Super Martyo boing! 03:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

SQT!

Congrats! --אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)

That goes straight on my mantlepiece! Oh, wait. Maybe I'll just drink it. Loafing 14:31, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

You could always let it ferment and become Suudsu Ale. --אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)

Ummmmmmm-kay. I just hope it doesn't turn out like this ;-)  Loafing 14:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Why? It tastes best like that! --אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)

I'll give it a try, then. But it better be good! ;-) Loafing 02:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

-laughs- --אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)

Here you go!

here's a certificate to show your greatness. -- Super Martyo boing! 11:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Lol! Thanks, dude. That's really nice of you. But are you sure you want to use your second personal image just for me? You could make the certificate more generic and give it out to more people on different occasions. Anyways, I'm gonna frame this one ;-)  Loafing 00:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

You know what? You're right. Sorry, but this image is going to have to be replaced. -- Super Martyo boing! 04:21, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

No worries, it's the logical thing to do. I've saved the certificate on my harddrive :-P  Loafing 04:24, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Jorge

Saw your edit - Did you know that Jorge is a Spanish name, and it's not so much Americans as Spanish-speaking people who pronounce the name (correctly) as "hor-hay" because that's what the letters sound like in Spanish? I say it that way, but I do that because that's how it's said, all the time. I wonder - is there a significant Spanish-speaking population down south where you're at? Curious. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  04:28, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

No, there's no significant Spanish population down here, but there is actually someone from Venezuela in my lab that I can ask tomorrow ;-) Anyways, I did have Spanish at school for four years. And there is this sound that native English speakers can't usually make (the hard "ch" in German, or the hard "j" and "g" in Spanish) and thus replace with "h". I only learned Spanish Spanish, and this might be different for Mexican Spanish for example. I'll see if that Venezuelan girls knows. I'll take any chance to talk to the lady-types ;-)  Loafing 04:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I hear ya, brotha. Them Americans with their cheap imitations for sounds. How can someone live with himself and not be able to pronunce khet? (that's how I like to write that sound you're reffering to) — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 05:04, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Sysop

Hi there Loafing. It is my distinct pleasure to announce that you have been given sysop privileges and responsibilities. If you have any questions, never hesitate to ask. May you always use your powers for good and for awesome. Thanks. -- Tom 05:04, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Wow, this is still unreal. Thanks for trusting me this much, you guys. ^_^ Hmmm, I wonder if this turns me into a chick magnet, or just a bigger geek...  Loafing 06:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations Volkert! I know that you've only been here for three months, but in that little tim you've made a big change to the wiki. You are one of the founders of the subtitles project and with Phli made the code to it. Youve been a helping hand to new users and helped reverting vandalism. You are a great user and you deserve your sysophood. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 08:17, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I remember back in the olden days, shortly after you joined, seeing your work on the wiki and thinking "Man, I could easily see that kid becoming a great wiki user one day." Then, of course, I learned you weren't a kid, but the sentiment held. Ah, good times. Wait, what do you mean it was only two months ago? --phlip ^T_C 08:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Club Sysopnochocolate or whatever it is! Congrats and keep up the good work! --Jay (Gobble) 08:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Never again will we have to ask, "Aren't you a sysop yet?" Congrats, Loaf. — Lapper (talk) 12:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Ausgezeichnet! Viel Spaß und Glück! Ich glaube, du wirst einen Zug auf die Vandalen fallen lassen. ;-) Heimstern Läufer 17:34, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I know, I know, I already congradulated you on IRC, but to make it so everyone can see it, "Many combolations, Elizagerth!" I think that you are the youngest sysop (By youngest I mean, how long you have been on here). Now that is cool!--H*Bad 13:21, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Ooh — I see I'm late. Congraturation! For most of the time you've been a member here, I've seen you perform quite a few sysop-like tasks; I'm glad to see you endowed with some powers that will equip you to serve the wiki even more fully! (for good or for awesome) Trey56 07:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Theres no butt in team

i dont know all the fancy ways of messaging or formatting, so forgive me if this is entirely or partially wrong in form or function. [1] You wrote me a message about the above link complaining that I was being the butt in team, and being negative and I have to defend myself. I was not being negative, and while trying to avoid sounding like a cynic, i was being truthful. There was nothing inherently negative in what i said. I said if you want to ask a question, do it on the forum. That is true. I said if you have a theory, post it here and people will argue about it. That is true. I said that those arguments can become long. That is true.

What did i do wrong? Maybe it was a little sarcastic, but I hardly think i am making the hrwiki a "worse place". And the thinly veiled threat of "its your choice" seemed highly inappropriate. --JamesDean 07:03, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Moved the discussion to User talk:JamesDean#There's No Butt In Team to keep it in one place. Loafing 08:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
