		+	::Well I like how it looks. I do, however, agree with things easy. But it would take a while to chane all the sbemails and toons to use that box. But I like helping out the wiki, so if you ever decide to change the toons, someone can tell me. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 21:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

		+	:::::Having viewed it a few times, I conclude that the costs outweigh the benefits. As the potential overlap of the floated table with the blockquote is inevitable at some resolution without a kludgy fix, perhaps it's better the way it was. If it weren't for the image in the blockquote, which I think is pretty much a staple here, this could work, but as is, no. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 06:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

	:I don't like the idea too. It's like Wikipedia's long, drawn-out infoboxes that last forever and contain little info. The cast, places and such fit right in the beginning before it looks good, and have been since the wiki started. Adding new info is not difficult (see the new DVD info) and it acts as a good summary of the toon before the TOC without needing to scroll. I think the info box, even if it will look good after it's tweaked will only over complicate things. It also make the image smaller, and the cast difficult to browse through. {{User:E.L.
