Changing
Darth, this is another drastic change that must be approved by community consensus. The Homestar Runner Universe it not only a website. Please cease and desist now. Heimstern Läufer 
- "Homestar Runner universe" is a fanon term and anyone with eyes can see that "Homestar web site" doesn't sound dilusional while "Homestar universe" very much does. Think about it for a moment, if you're telling a friend about Homestar Runner, you call it a "web site" and not "universe." Why? Because unless you're inventing a new religion here, "universe" sounds straight weird in real life. And it sounds just as weird on the Internet. — Darth Katana

- I'm sorry if I sounded harsh. I was a bit panicked at all those changes. But I still disagree with your changes and request that you begin discussion and get consensus rather than just doing it. Heimstern Läufer

- Alright, cool. I just realized something, you need to be a bit more careful with your words: "the Homestar universe it not only a web site" sort of implies that the universe actually exists. — Darth Katana
