Hey, this is Lapper here, a.k.a Alex. Although I'm not as active here at the wiki as I probably should be, where you can really see me in action at the [http://gmailthis.blogspot.com/ Gmail This!] blog. Homestar Runner has been a large intrest of mine for a long time, and I hope to see that it keeps doing as well as this wiki is. I hope to contribute much more now than ever before.

I was turned on to Homestar at the same time the [[stunt double]] SBemail came out, around July 2003. It was then that I first saw Homestar at a local [http://www.slsc.org/ Science Center]'s Internet station, saw Strong Bad do all of his own stunts, and I was hooked immediately. Soon after, I showed my younger sister and we became superfans, patrolling the site to look for new things, and new eggs.

Hey, everyone. This is Lapper, here. As a [[HRWiki:Sysops|systems operator]], I welcome any questions, concerns, or requests from you at any time. Homestar Runner is a classic favorite of mine, and I hope to see both the cartoon and the wiki thrive in the future.

Around late 2004, I discovered the Homestar Wiki through a Google search some forgotten Saturday morning. I was amazed with how the wiki knew what was on the Homestar site before even I did. The first page I went to on the wiki was the [[Running Gags]] page. Within a few days, the small band of sysops grew with sysop elections. I remember chuckling when [[User:The Paper|The Paper]] was unsure whether he could nominate himself, but now I realize how valuable all the sysops are to the wiki.

I visited the site constantly, exploring all of its content. Every part of the site was idyllic to me.

In April of 2005, I discovered the Homestar Runner Wiki through a Google search some forgotten Saturday morning. I was amazed at its thoroughness and sheer amount of content. I created an account immediately, for I knew I wanted to be part of this community, to contribute any way I could. During my first few months, however, my contributions were sparse. I mostly watched and learned, trying to pick up MediaWiki syntax while making the occasional edit. After being welcomed by [[User:Rogue Leader|Rogue Leader]], I was inspired to begin contributing to a much greater extent. While I may not edit as much now as I have in the past few years, know that I am still here, and can always be contacted ''somehow''.

Well, I don't know about that, but how about these substitues?

Welcome to me

Hey, everyone. This is Lapper, here. As a systems operator, I welcome any questions, concerns, or requests from you at any time. Homestar Runner is a classic favorite of mine, and I hope to see both the cartoon and the wiki thrive in the future.

Science again! I said science again!

I was turned on to Homestar at the same time the stunt double email came out, late July 2003. It was then that I first saw Homestar at a local Science Center's Internet station, saw Strong Bad do all of his own stunts, and I was hooked immediately. I visited the site constantly, exploring all of its content. Every part of the site was idyllic to me.

No, I'm pretty sure it was .wiki

In April of 2005, I discovered the Homestar Runner Wiki through a Google search some forgotten Saturday morning. I was amazed at its thoroughness and sheer amount of content. I created an account immediately, for I knew I wanted to be part of this community, to contribute any way I could. During my first few months, however, my contributions were sparse. I mostly watched and learned, trying to pick up MediaWiki syntax while making the occasional edit. After being welcomed by Rogue Leader, I was inspired to begin contributing to a much greater extent. While I may not edit as much now as I have in the past few years, know that I am still here, and can always be contacted somehow.

What's the best thing you've ever seen, done, eaten?
