[edit] Deletion

I can understand sbemail 150, but just barely, yet sbemail 100's "delay cartoon" was definately to fool people going to sbemail100.html, and I believe was released at the time of flashback. Even if it wasn't, it didn't talk about any sort of delay. I vote delete. Bluebry 21:49, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

All I could think of is Missing Lappy, but without SBEmail100, it's only two appearances. Unless someone comes up with another one, I vote to delete. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 21:57, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, there's a new one on there, but the way the delay is displayed is COMPLETELY unrelated. I still vote delete. Bluebry 22:02, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Is there any reason that Sbemail 100 fakeout|Not the 100th Email!!! shouldn't be on here. Also, I wanna know if, even if the article is DELETED!!! that I was still right to make it.. because it says to be bold and all...-LordQuackingstick 22:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Not the 100th Email!!! didn't actually mention anything about an email delay. Bluebry 22:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah it did; if I remember correctly, Homestar asked Strong Bad "When're you gonna make it already?" But was I right to make it in the first place?-LordQuackingstick 22:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm...well whaddya know, it kinda does that, so I guess if you wanted you could add that back. And if you think something's pageworthy, it is suggested that you, well, make it a page. ;-) Bluebry 22:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it was a good idea to make this page, well done! And don't worry too much about the deletion tag. It was put up because we usually require at least three instances of something to accept it as notable. I think we've got that covered now. The article might still be moved to a new name to be a bit more inclusive. That's also normal for new articles. Feel free to voice your opinion about deletion and moving here! You have a say in it just like everybody else. Loafing 22:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. You're a real state trooper.-LordQuackingstick 22:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, that's not the reason the tag's put up. The appearances on this page, while they do happen to do with sbemail delays, have pretty much NOTHING IN COMMON. In reality, it seems that only army, geddup noise, and redesign are common, and that can still be noted on their pages (which they already are, if I'm correct). Otherwise, Sbemail 150?!? was released before alternate universe to explain the delay, Not the 100th Sbemail!!! explained the delay at the time of flashback's release (and was a secret page), and unlike those two, invisibility's delay was pretty much "caused" by vacation. I still vote delete. Bluebry 22:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I think we can remove the deletion tag from this now, personally. Any other views? - ISTC 19:25, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, go ahead and remove. At this poin't it doesn't seem like it's going to be delorted.-LordQuackingstick 19:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree: I think it's interesting information. Trey56 19:43, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

No delortion. TheYellowDart—(t/c)

[edit] Move

I suggest we move this article to Acknowledged Email Delays or something like that. That makes more sense. Loafing 22:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Bluebry 22:07, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Done-LordQuackingstick 02:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Well, I messed around with it a little. Is there anything else we need to do? Bluebry 22:36, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

How about adding it to that Strong Bad Email template thing? {{StrongBadEmailInfo}} kai lyn 18:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Baby Lady's Baby

Would the current announcement count as an acknowledged delay? Or is it not in-universe enough? — It's dot com 18:43, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it counts, at least according to the current lead paragraph of the article: "This can occur in a separate toon, in a Main Page Message, or in an email itself." Trey56 18:44, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't mention sbemails, though. Prehaps this page should be renamed to "Acknowledged Update Delays"? DEI DAT VM^┌_{datvm center}\^{super contra}_┘

I agree — it's a good idea to make it general, since we're interested in any delay. And I think your proposed title is a good one, too. Trey56 19:24, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Loafing 19:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Agreed as well. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:23, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Too minor?

Seeing as it is monday, shouldn't there be a sbemail? Or is this too minor to be listed? ~anonymous contributor.

This page is only for update delays that're specifically mentioned on the site. Not "Monday passed without an update". -YK 05:13, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] twitter

Should the sbemail206 twitter update be included here? Since the FeedBurner one counted, I'd say this counts... --178.109.41.199 12:56, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Fish Eye Lens?

Does it count? The opening is Coach Z talking about how long it's been since the last Homestar Runner song. Guybrush20X6 01:16, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I think so. — It's dot com 02:36, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
