@ronginald was a Twitter account operated by Matt Chapman from September 3, 2011, until January 22, 2013. The name "Ronginald" is a reference to this strip of Ron Planet. In his Tweets, Matt reaffirmed that The Brothers Chaps were not done with Homestar Runner despite the site's hiatus. He also discussed then-current projects, including The Aquabats! Super Show!, Gravity Falls, and Yo Gabba Gabba. The account occasionally shared sketches and other behind-the-scenes information.

The Twitter account was closed on January 22, 2013, which resulted in the deletion of all its tweets. In April 2013, an unrelated fan registered the @ronginald account and occasionally tweeted, making it clear that they were not affiliated with Homestar Runner. An official Chaps-run Twitter successor is the account @StrongBadActual, created in 2011, which started actively tweeting in 2014 in-character as Strong Bad.
