Leave me a message and I'll incinerate you with dark magic! ... I mean, I'll get back to you. Archives: 1 2 3

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.

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)

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)
