Willy on Wheels

In order to properly block this troll (when he's not using a user name, he's recognizable by his IP number: his always begins "65.167.69") you have to block the whole range; he's been known to switch IP addresses on a whim should one get blocked. In order to do this, block the range as "65.167.69.0/24". Of course, I'm || this close to putting a permanent ban on the range, but I fear that such an action would block many totally legit users. --Jay (Gobble) 16:39, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I had no idea that that was Willy on Wheels. Doesn't he usually move pages rather than creating crap pages? Thanks for the notice though. Homestar Coder 16:46, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

It could be a coincidence, and some other troll just happened to stumble into the range. But the IP address matched. --Jay (Gobble) 16:49, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

TGS Template

Nice work with the Stinkoman 20X6 Template (a good idea that someone should have come up with a long time ago) but we already have a Teen Girl Squad template. --Jay (Gobble) 19:08, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I just saw that. Oops. I don't know how I could've missed that when I checked TGS #1. Homestar Coder 19:09, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Picture orginazing

Nice work on all those pictures when I'm away! You're much faster than me. Anyway, It's Dot Com asked us to patrol our edits. I'm going to do the most recent now, but after that could you continue the patroling? — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 19:20, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I don't patrol edits (in the sense of marking the stupid checkbox). I happen to think that the patrol box is a really bad idea. Sorry I can't help you out. Homestar Coder 19:22, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

As you wish. I'll do it. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 19:23, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I continue to question the utility of that, but whatever floats your boat. (By the way, great jorb on the picture captioning, and great idea for a new project!) Homestar Coder 19:25, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 19:30, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I thought I'd be cool and try and patrol them all, but there's just to many of them. w00t, Homestar Coder.

Joe tought me this trick when patrolling edits: it's better to open a whole bunch with tabs in Firefox (or any other tabbed browser), and patrol from there. I can get through a good 30 in three or four minutes. I suggest patrolling your edits, as it makes Recent Changes easier on the eyes for all of us. :) —FireBird|Talk 23:31, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Just for fun, I timed myself. I patrolled 30 edits in 1:33:60. Those numbers were way off. :) —FireBird|Talk 23:36, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

An Answer

You just asked where that 'Powered By The Cheat' screenshot is from. I think it's from crazy cartoon. Behold my skills to gather data quickly. I didn't know how to change it myself, so I dropped you a line. --DorianGray

I think you're right. And changing image information is quite easy: just click on the image and then on the edit tab. Homestar Coder 22:01, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Well, I figured you could do it quicker and make it look all uniform with all the other ones you've been doing faster than I could. (Of course, you'd be hard-pressed to do anything fast if I keep sending you comments...) Anyways, good luck. And if you need more image sources found in a hurry, keep me in mind. --DorianGray

Thank you for your help! And my captions aren't all that uniform. I'm just trying to put a good description with links on each image. Homestar Coder 22:07, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Today's solid jumble

- I think that Strong Bad has no arms in the safari adventure. Your views? --Dinoshaur 19:48, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I am curious as to why you posted this here. And I definitely see his arms quite obviously in the picture. Username-talk 19:50, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Seriously? I only see his fists. Nope, I don't see an arm there at all. --Dinoshaur 19:52, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Moving this discussion to Talk:theme park. Homestar Coder 20:58, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

?

You're going to spontaneously combust? (Yes, I know, it was a joke) Fizz123 ^Talk

Maybe! Homestar Coder 20:59, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Style Bitings

Hey they, Coder. First of all, I must admit I bit your style once before by basically copying your signature template and working out my own version (I wanted a color other than blue). Thank you kindly for your unwitting munificence. Now, to more pressing matters: this morning I saw what appears to be a little monkey-thing waving madly next to your signature. Now, I don't claim any domain over monkey-related things, but I am the smoking monkey and...well, D 'n' D Greg put it best! But seriously, cool little monkey-thing. I promise I won't serreptitiously copy that and use it for my own! ^_^ — THE SMOKING MONKEY 12:56, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Heh. I think the monkey is probably too big though. I might change it to a koopa shell or parabeetle. You can take the monkey if you like, and I'll switch to something else :) He's not smoking, though, I think he's scratching his head. Homestar Coder 16:52, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Yikes! I didn't mean for you to change it, but thanks regardless! — THE SMOKING MONKEY 17:44, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

The monkey was too big, and I like kitties better (It was between that and a cucco):) Homestar Coder 17:47, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Agreed; cats are good. I've got two! :) — THE SMOKING MONKEY 17:53, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Pending deletion?

does this mean he left?

Actually, Amanda is a she, and she simply made a spoof of Wikipedia's This article is pending deletion template. She is in no way gone. — Lapper (talk) 20:13, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

It's true. I'm still there like shareware. Homestar Coder 23:00, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

i cant TAKE IT ANYMORE! Hrwiki has made a slightly noticeableable mistake, one that cound cost them the site until then, battlefrank: 1 hrwiki:0 -battlefrank

Wait! Before you start again, maybe we can reach an agreement. Y'know, talk about it? - Kookykman(t)(c)(r)

Well, if you can't take it anymore... then wouldn't you actually want to tell us what big mistake we are making? Homestramy20|^Talk 22:23, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

The 'mistake' was banning his accounts repeatedly. (He's Willy on Wheels) - Kookykman(t)(c)(r)

Oh. Didn't realise that was WoW. Homestramy20|^Talk 22:39, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I've left a message on his IP's User Talk page, asking if he wanted to negotiate. I'm holding my breath. - Kookykman(t)(c)(r)

Honestly, I don't think that was the best idea. I honestly think the best thing to do is to not communicate with the troll, and eventually, they may get bored. But, I guess we'll see what WoW has to say. Homestramy20|^Talk 22:45, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

It may be a moot point now, though, as I think I just missed one of his IP switches. - Kookykman(t)(c)(r)

Please ignore this guy. He's nothing more than a garden variety troll. Homestar Coder 23:28, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

no, im not willy on wheels, im a guy from half a year ago with issues with homestar coder, which he has pushed further, just wait a while, it should be 3-4 months when the mistake takes action and the wiki is doomed, about the IP message,saying that im considered a retard here already, its not going to happen, and IM NOT WoW! i dont even know who the guy is! by the way, nice job denying that you ever met me homestar coder -battlefrank

forgot password

homestar coder,i forgot my password so,dont revert my changes to mu user page please.-User:Timmy!

Have you tried the "Email new password" button on the Login page? -- Tom 22:52, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, Tom's right. You're going to have to get your password back. Homestar Coder 01:58, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey Yall

If you want your SB email answered write it in my talk pannal and i'll answer it as good as i can like SB mabey i'll even make put some Microsoft Paint drawings just give em' to me NOT Billy Bob Bob

I was wondering

Hey I was wondering do you know how to take scrrenshots on a computer? If so please tell me.

-NOT Billy Bob Bob

The easiest way is to use the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. Just hit "print screen" and the screen shot will be copied to the clipboard (but it won't look like anything happened). Then open up a paint / image program and choose paste, and your screenshot will be there. Homestar Coder 19:52, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks it really works! I needed it for a Homestar/Star Wars spoof im working on! Bye!

-NOT Billy Bob Bob

No probalo! Homestar Coder 20:22, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Unknown Sources Found

Yep. The Poopsmith pic is from big white face. And sorry for editing your page. I misread and thought it was your talk page. Anyways, I'll look into a few of the others. --DorianGray

Thanks muchly! Homestar Coder 22:26, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Strong Bad's pic is from japanese cartoon. :) - KieferSkunk

Sweet, I was right. Homestar Coder 22:30, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

And that Pom Pom pic? It's from 'Strong Bad is in Jail'. You were right--twice. --DorianGray

Woot! Homestar Coder 22:37, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

And furthermore, I also verified that that Strong Sad pic is, in fact, from funny. You're on a roll tonight. --DorianGray

I think you're better at this than me (I'd verify some of these myself, but I'm in a cluster and shouldn't play distracting cartoons.) Homestar Coder 22:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Got another one for you. Marzipan's pic is from virus, just before she gets turned into ASCII art. - KieferSkunk

Cool. I was wrong on this one -- I was thinking Where's the Cheat? Homestar Coder 22:49, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

The Marzipan from Where's the Cheat? has a much more curved smile. It looks almost like a complete circle when her mouth is closed. This one is much closer to a straight line. - KieferSkunk

Good catch. Homestar Coder 22:51, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

And Old-Timey Strong Bad's is from Parsnips A-Plenty. The tricky bit about this one, though: it's from when Strong Bad fell off the cliff. The uploader must've flipped it vertically before uploading. That's pro'lly why it's a little hard to match up. --DorianGray

Awesome catch, I totally wouldn't have thought of that. Homestar Coder 22:53, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

And the PBTC Strong Bad is from crazy cartoon. It matches right to the bit of Homestar's foot in the shot. Also, the crazy cartoon version's feet are smaller than the mile version. --DorianGray

Noted. Homestar Coder 22:56, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

In addition, that PBTC Homestar was from the same exact shot, I'll bet. The glove matches right up to Strong Bad, the way the shoe matches in the previous one. --DorianGray

But doesn't Homestar have an "I Love Cooties" sign in that shot? Homestar Coder 23:11, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

The 'I love Cooties' sign was in mile. "Kick it out, B-hand!" --DorianGray

Right. I read "mile" instead of "crazy cartoon" for some reason. Homestar Coder 23:25, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

(redundant) I wanna play too! ... Yay! I found one: (i think), PBTC SB: It definitely can't be mile, notice that it's homestar's shoe on the bottom right. It never appears that close or at that level in the mile, but it does in crazy cartoon. The background doesn't match any BG on mile, but it does match crazy cartoon's perfectly. I dunno about the other PBTCs. --Stux 23:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Oops! Sorry guys, I feel silly now, for some reason I didn't equate that previous thread with PBTC... so consider that paragraph redundant. This time i'll double check it hasn't been discussed! Anyway, I went through most of the puppet stuff and the only one that came even close was the external short seen in lackey. The only difference is the quality and field of view-- my guess is that this picture must've been taken from a DVD edition. I don't own the DVDs so someone who does will have to verify. --Stux 23:30, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I just labelled the Homestar puppet pic as from lackey. You think it isn't? Homestar Coder 23:39, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

No no! I do think it is! I am just not 100% sure since this looks to be from a DVD, and I don't know if there are DVD-only puppet stuff that would be candidates. But in my opinion, yes I beleive that is the right source. My apologies if I was unclear. --Stux 23:47, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, ok! Homestar Coder 23:51, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

According to Strong Mad Evolution, Strong Mad appears in his singlet without the M in A Holiday Greeting, Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True and Yearbook Character Page. I can't find any single cartoon on the site that shows SM standing alone like this (and not partially obscured by another character), so it's possible this pic was taken directly from the character-page SWF file via a decompiler. (His upper body is masked by the M.) - KieferSkunk

I thought it might be something like that, since I didn't remember Strong Mad standing by himself like that in any of the mentioned toons. I haven't seen Tis True, though. Homestar Coder 00:12, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

The image history mentions something about a "blue background" being removed. However, I checked the different versions and they all look exactly alike. I don't know then if the 'older version' got lost or what not but I was hoping it would yield some information about the source. --Stux 18:15, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Even with the "blue background" hint I'm not sure where this would come from. I'm pretty sure Strong Mad doesn't stand by himself on a blue background in Holiday Greeting and I know he doesn't on Yearbook. Tis True maybe? Homestar Coder 18:30, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I checked both Yearbook and Holiday Greeting: the background in Yearbook is read, while the background in Holiday is pinkish-looking stage curtain, and of course he's not alone in this one. On both counts it would have to be a flash decompile, but it doesn't explain the blue. I seems like Tis True would answer many questions. --Stux 18:38, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

The Cheat Evolution: barring Tis True, cuz it's on DVD, I managed to rule out all of the toons mentioned in the page except The Interview. The background definitely matches the picture as well. It would have to be taken just before they tie The Cheat's arms with duct tape. --Stux 18:11, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

The Interview seems about right to me. Thanks. Homestar Coder 18:30, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome! My Pleasure! --Stux 18:38, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

DOH! You beat me to it! I was going to confirm that The Cheat's picture is from The Interview as well. Great jearb there! - KieferSkunk 18:30, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

LOL! That was quite a narrow margin... hey we can be co-confirmers or something. --Stux 18:38, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Strong Mad minus M

It comes from the unfinished toon tis true Pom Pom, tis true. You can acsess it on disc one of the Strong Bad Email DVD.

Looks like an anony confirmed the Tis True connection so I'm putting that on the pic for now. Homestar Coder 19:23, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
