The Brothers Chaps have publicly acknowledged many Homestar Runner fansites, including the Homestar Runner Wiki. They've been known to drop by when fansites are celebrating anniversaries or other special occasions, and their messages are generally very positive and appreciative. This article provides a listing of known public acknowledgments of fansites by The Brothers Chaps and other contributors.

Homestar Runner Wiki Acknowledgments

  • The Brother Chaps' friend, Craig Zobel, who has done work on HomestarRunner.com, registered on the HRWiki Forum on January 15, 2007. He made a thread regarding his film "Great World of Sound".
  • In the DVD commentary for In Search of the Yello Dello Old Version, Matt Chapman (jokingly) claims that South Park ripped off the joke about Pitfall! from the cartoon. Peter Olsen replies with "put it on the wiki".
  • In the DVD commentary for Bug In Mouth Disease, Mike Chapman mentions that there was a misspelling on one of Bubs's business cards that was pointed out by the wiki. The word in question was "paranormal", which was misspelled as "paranaormal".
  • In the DVD commentary for Homestarloween Party, Mike Chapman briefly mentions that the Visor Robot was never officially named, but that they began calling it "Visor Robot" after the wiki informally gave it that name.
  • At the Flashforward conference, Matt talked briefly about the wiki during the presentation.
  • On November 18, 2005, Matt Chapman sent a personal letter to Homestar Runner Wiki proprietor JoeyDay, enclosed with the following note and several pages of sketches.
H*RWiki people!!
Thanks for putting
together such an awesome
Homestar resource & fan
community!! We couldn't
find which SBEmail had
The Cheat's angry eyes in it
without you guys! Here's
my "notes" from Jury
Duty!! - Matt C
  • In the DVD commentary for Strong Bad Sings, Matt Chapman wonders if the Fat Bluebird has a page on the wiki. (It didn't, at the time.)
  • On Halloween 2005, Mibluvr13 put together a virtual birthday card for Matt Chapman's 29th birthday with the signatures from various wiki and forum users. (View forum thread) Matt Chapman received the card and emailed her the following reply.
Thanks Chrissy and the rest of you! You guys rule. That card is awesome. And so is the wiki and all the hard work you folks put into it. We use it all the time when we can't remember stuff from our cartoons.

High fives all the times,
Matt
  • Jonathan Howe, The Brothers Chaps' chief programmer, suggested to Bobby Blackwolf to post his interview on the wiki. Bobby followed his advice as an anonymous contributor.
  • In the DVD commentary for the email animal, Mike Chapman states that they made a goof regarding segmented/compound eyes, and that they discovered their mistake by reading the wiki.
