What the Crap Just Happened?
Why does this guy keep defacing the page every day? Why can't I make pages like this? I'm already on the WikiTroll, but I never do stuff like this... →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]
Protection
I think that this page should be protected. The barrage of trolls has been pretendous. Nobody wants to open the sbemails page and see a bunch of gibberish and swears. Your thoughts?
- Protecting the Main Page was one thing; it's a page that, by its very nature, shouldn't change very often or contain any particular insight into the H*R site. This page, though, changes every week (if TBC are feeling industrious) and allows for Fun Facts. I think that if we locked down this page, it would discourage new editors and be antithetical to the concept of a Wiki. -- FortyTwo 22:14, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)
Opening the Menu
Did anyone else notice that Strong Bad no longer types "dir/p" to load the e-mails menu? (He types "strongbad_email.exe" now.) I'm wondering where to put it (if it belongs at all).—StrongstarRunbad 21:08, 10 Dec 2004 (MST)
- Eh, it probably doesn't belong. Besides, he changed from "list_files" on the Tandy to "dir/p," and that wasn't noted. Dropping the idea.—StrongstarRunbad 21:13, 13 Dec 2004 (MST)
a> Prompt Location
In some of the e-mails, the a> prompt appears just below the e-mail when it loads. In others, it appears on the bottom of the screen. Should that be noted somewhere for each of the emails? Or is it just an insignifigant technicality, like the number of times SB moves his head back and forth in the e-mail? Wait-maybe we should put that in too... I would be glad to work on this if people think its worthwhile. -pianoplayerontheroof
- Hmm... I'm curious. I'm sure if you were going to go through every email you could come up with a whole page for the prompt. And there's also the prompt in the main Strong Bad Email menu too. Go for it. -- Tom 09:08, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
- Oooh, and you could include the stuff they are talking about in Talk:Strong Bad Email#Opening the Menu. -- Tom 09:10, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
- but-looking back- does this info really have a purpose? I mean, it kinda makes sense to have all the page titles, but the position of the prompt and what SB types, all on different pages? maybe some kind of chart with them all on it... I don't know how to make charts in de Wiki. guess I could try to figure it out. --Pianoplayerontheroof
- Purpose? Well, we are the place to learn everything there is to know about Homestar Runner. And don't worry about any kind of table format or anything, someone else could do that. -- Tom 09:43, 4 Jan 2005 (MST)
No Fun Facts any longer
I noticed that User:Kemek changed all fun facts to "Trivia", as well as made some other sections. I rather have a full fun facts section back. Anyone? →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]
- I didn't intend to eliminate the Fun Facts section. Rather, the plan is to separate them into categories to prevent the kind of confusion that ensues each time a new Strong Bad Email is released. There's been discussion on several pages as to what to do and this seemed like the consensus. If I'm mistaken please accept my apologies; I only want to do what's best for the Wiki.

- Personally I'm fond of Jay and Kamek's ideas, but there's plenty of room for differing opinions, so please take your comments to the page(s) Kamek mentioned. — InterruptorJones[[]] 19:05, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)
- And now he's changed them all back?! Did someone not like the new format or something? --Jay 19:08, 16 Jan 2005 (MST)
Superbowl Dealie
I put a message similar to this on the page for Superbowl Dealie, but since it's recieved no response yet, I may as well ask here.
Basically, I feel Superbowl Dealie deserves to be on the list of Not Quite Strong Bad Emails (since it mentions outright at the end of that toon that the SBemail was going to be late that week), but I don't know when it was put up chronologically speaking. Does anyone have any ideas? --TheNintenGenius 22:51, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
Confirmation by TBC
I just noticed the (Note: It has been confirmed by the Chapman Brothers that Coach Z says "crack") following the Coach Z rap. I've removed the note, as we don't like to have things like that in articles. However, is this true? Did The Brothers Chaps actually confirm this? And if so, how? -- Tom 12:13, 28 Jan 2005 (MST)
