Talk:Mellow Mushroom

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 23:36, 11 August 2005

Individual articles

Individual articles for Mellow Mushroom characters are simply not needed. As I said earlier, a short one line description after the character's name would suffice. -- Tom 15:42, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)

But will we give Mellow Mushroom's toons, games ete. individual articles? --Trogga 21:07, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)

Nope and nope again. Everthing concerning Mellow Mushroom can go on this page. -- Tom 21:16, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)

Can we at least vote for individual articles for Mellow Mushroom, or just put the entire Mellow Mushroom site one page? --Trogga 11:55, 15 Jan 2005 (MST)

Vote? What do we need to vote about? It's the Homestar Runner Wiki. We just have an article for Mellow Mushroom because it was something The Brothers Chaps did. Everything can be summed up in one article. I don't think it's title needs to be anything other than "Mellow Mushroom." -- Tom 13:09, 15 Jan 2005 (MST)

So? This Might Be A Wiki has individual articles for Mono Puff, yet it's still a They Might Be Giants fansite. I don't see why it's such big deal. --Trogga 15:47, 15 Jan 2005 (MST)

At this point I don't see a need for separate articles for Mellow Mushroom stuff. If the current article gets so full that we need to split it up we should consider multiple articles. If you have a lot to contribute to this article then do it! Because MM is a company site, TBC may not have had the most artistic freedom, so we don't know for sure how much of the content we can attribute directly to them. - Dr Haggis - Talk 16:28, 15 Jan 2005 (MST)

That sounds re-zon-able. (Sorry.) --Trogga 17:44, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)

That does seem a little crazy to have individual pages for different Mellow Mushroom stuff. →evin290 19:08, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)

One page is sufficient. Post more detailed MM articles on the Mellow Mushroom Wiki. --tomstiff 00:33, 13 Mar 2005 (CST)

I don't care! I'm making individual articles anyway! No one. 3/18/2005 12:27

Are you joking tomstiff? --Trogga 15:47, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)

I assume so, for there is no thing as Mellow Mushroom Wiki. →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

Anywho, I think we should at least have aricles for the toon(s), games and main pages, for completeness. This may be the Homestar Runner Wiki, but don't we deserve to learn a bit more about TBC's side projects? --Trogga 20:27, 24 Mar 2005 (MST)

I agree with Dr. Haggis's comment back on Jan 15th. We don't have a need for separate articles for Mellow Mushroom stuff. And like he said, we don't know how much of the work on that site is actually theirs. -- Tom 14:59, 26 Mar 2005 (MST)

Good point. I emailed Mellow Mushroom not too long ago this:

Hi, I'm a big fan of Homestarrunner.com. I know that the Brothers
Chaps, the creators of Homestarrunner.com helped make the Mellow
Mushroom site. How did you acquire them? Will they update the site?
Did they enjoy working on the site?

Just wondering,
Trogga

I haven't received a respond. I also emailed TBC about MM, and haven't received a respond either, so now I'm neutral about individual articles for MM. What do guys think? --Trogga 19:13, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Individual MM articles have no place in a H*R Wiki. A single page summary more than suffices. -- tomstiff 14:47, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Then how come we have complete pages for the other side projects? --Trogga 23:45, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Nobody's written enough about MM to warrant separate articles. I'd say not to consider separate articles until someone starts writing / transcribing more of the site. Aurora the Homestar Coder 23:49, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

One article is sufficent, especially since it appears as though this site is now quite dormant from additions by TBC... ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 00:03, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

mellow mushroom food

I have eaten at the mellow mushroom before, and it was the best pizza I ever had. have you ever eaten there?

This is pretty off topic, this is the page for THE WEBSITE. But, on the subject, I hate Mellow Mushroom's pizza. Too much sauce is all. --thatkidsam 17:26, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

I ate at the one in Gainesville. Decent pizza, but definitely NOT the best *coughpapajohnsisthebestcoughcough*. Cheatachu72 20:51, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Update

I could have sworn that the "Dude Skate Game" was made after I first reached that site. It's not much of a game, anyway

number 1: sign your posts.
number 2: mellow mushroom is probably the dumbest site I've ever seen.

Weirded OUT!

That Mel-mushroom dude sounds like Bubs. Coinkidink? I think so. I just felt somebody had to say it.Ookelaylay 19:39, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Not a stub

This article is not a stub. It contains all the necessary information it should; namely, it is an overview of the MM site with a link to it. This wiki is about H*R; more-detailed info on MM does not belong here. — It's dot com 17:56, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Yet we have more complete pages for the other side projects... --TROGGA! 18:02, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)

What are you talking about? I looked at those other pages, and they are about the same in content and length as this one. (Thorax Corp's is a little longer, but it is more closely tied to Homestar Runner. It is still, however, on just one page on the wiki.) What more information do you think someone will add by having a {{stub}} tag? — It's dot com 18:07, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, you must have been right this whole time; according to Wikipedia, "A stub is an article which is clearly too short, but not so short as to be useless. In general, it must be long enough to at least define the article's title. This usually means 3 to 10 short sentences. Note that a longer article may be a stub if the topic is complex enough; conversely, a short article on a topic which has a very narrow scope may not be a stub." But I still don't see anything wrong with more-detailed info on MM. --TROGGA! 16:28, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

The Sun Almost Rises

Since you had a big debate on whether or not to put in individual articles, what about the toon? Can I make that or not?-Gordon 584

I think you could probably make a note of the toon on the MM page, but a separate page and/or transcript for the toon is completely unnecessary! -- tomstiff 20:53, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

What makes it "completely unnecessary?" --TROGGA! 21:10, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Cast your eyes to the upper left hand corner of this page. -- tomstiff 21:25, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Why?

Can I ask why we have this page? this is the Homestar Runner wiki, not the Mellow mushroom wiki. User:Rogue Leader.sig

I couldn't agree more. What is already here is plenty! -- tomstiff 20:51, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Yet this wiki isn't paper. --TROGGA! 21:21, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

We have all experianced a 509 error. I just think that it isn't related to Homestar Runner, and should be shortened. User:Rogue Leader.sig

There's a big difference between us and Wikipedia. Wikipedia purports to cover basically anything in existence. We are a Homestar Runner Wiki. Mellow Mushroom is not Homestar Runner, it's just a side project, and the evidence is such that TBC haven't actually had much to do with it. Homestar Coder 21:27, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Couldn't have said it better myself! If you read this page completely, the same point has been made numerous times: MM ain't HSR. -- tomstiff 21:32, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Well duh, it's a restaurant. {rimshot} But the website, in my opinion, is TBC's Wings. --TROGGA! 22:06, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

So ... Mellow Mushroom is to Homestar Runner as Wings is to The Beatles. Dunno if I can buy off on that one! -- tomstiff 22:22, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Does that mean that "The Sun Almost Rises" is TBC's "Band On The Run"? Or "Live and Let Die"? -- tomstiff 22:24, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Rouge Leader, deleting one article on the Wiki will not change anything in regards to our bandwidth. Fear of exceeding our bandwidth allotment should never be taken into consideration when determining an article's merit. -- Tom 22:27, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I didn't mean delete. I meant taking out the chracters section and the pages section. I think that this page is jst giving to much attention to a side project. User:Rogue Leader.sig 22:32, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Taking out the characters section and pages section still won't do anything. Deleting a page, or a section of a page, will not help the bandwith issue.

By what you guys are saying, we should also delete the Thoraxcorp article , because it has nothing to do with Homestar Runner. Mellow Mushroom involves TBC. That's why we have it here. I don't see why we shouldn't. —FireBird|Talk 23:10, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I think this article should stay as it is, and not be deleted. I was just saying that we don't need to expand it into multiple articles, as Trogga suggested. Homestar Coder 23:36, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
