| - | Hi, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Thunderbird L17, but generally I just go by Thunderbird. I'm an [[Wikipedia:Electrician|electrician]] from [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canada]], and I'm 19 years old.
| + | |
| - | === <span style="color:#C90">A Brief History</span> ===
| + | |
| - | I first was introduced to Homestar Runner through my cousin during a lull in the MSN conversation, via [[HR:sbemail77.html|this link]], and that was in late August of 2003. Nearly a year later, a different friend of mine gave me [[old:Peasant's Quest/Walkthrough|this link]] to a walkthrough for Peasant's Quest that she found. When I returned a day or two later to sign up and explore this site further, I was greeted with [[:Image:this is real.png|this image]], as the site had begun it's switch to MediaWiki. Several weeks later the image was removed, and it finally re-opened, allowing me to to create this account on September 14th, 2004. After over seven months of contributions, I was made a sysop on April 26th, 2005 during the [[HRWiki:April 2005 Sysop Nominations|2005 Sysop Nominations]].

| - | === <span style="color:#C90">About The Screen Name</span> ===
| + | |
| - | My screenname — Thunderbird L17 — doesn't have anything to do with the [[Wikipedia:Ford Thunderbird|car]], or the fact that I'm an electrician. It's more the inspiration of the [[Wikipedia:Thunderbird (mythology)|legendary creature]] from [[Wikipedia:Native American|Native American]] mythology. And no, I am not Native American. I enjoy the heritage of [[Wikipedia:Scotland|Scotland]] and... [[Wikipedia:Ontario|Ontario]]. But I prefer the Scottish half. Thunderbird was simply my first internet screen name when I played [[Wikipedia:Age Of Empires|Age Of Empires]] back in the late 90's, now I use it for all my screen names. The L17 stands for my first initial and my age when I first started coming to this site. It's a progressive screenname; on the forum I am Thunderbird L18, and usually on the IRC chat channel I use Thunderbird L19.
| + | |
| - | === <span style="color:#C90">What I Do</span> ===
| + | |
| - | I'm often sleeping or at work when the site is updated, and miss out on the "new page" rush. See my list of contributions below for the kinda work I've done around here. I also keep the Featured Article of the Week running smoothly, I'm usually the one that sends emails to other sites asking for reprint permission, and I'm always willing to help out fellow users whenever they ask. This is my second favorite website, second only to the [[Wikipedia:Homestar Runner|obvious]]. And that, in a nutshell, is me.

| + | |
| - | === <span style="color:#C90">Flashforward</span> ===
| + | |
| - | [[Image:Flashforward Autograph.PNG|thumb|Autograph Given To Thunderbird|190px]]Perhaps my greatest contribution to the wiki occured on February 28th, 2006, when I attended [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]]. It all started when InterruptorJones first created the article, alerting me to the fact that [[The Brothers Chaps]] would be in Seattle the same day I would be down there on business. Admission was pricy however, but I was determined to find a way. A week later I noticed an interview with The Brothers Chaps go up on the Flashforward website, and I emailed the powers that be as usual, to let them know we were transcribing it. They appreciated this, and asked if there was anything else they could help me with. I ran with this oppourtunity, and asked if there was any way I could pay to attend just The Brothers Chaps' presentation. They replied instead with a free press pass, for me to cover the event in behalf of the wiki. I went to the presentation, met the Chaps, was given the pictured autograph, and less than two weeks later had completed the summary of the event.

| - | === <span style="color:#C90">Top 17 Contributions</span> ===
| + | |
| - | * [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> As mentioned before, my proudest "exclusive" contribution. Also the fourth largest original page on the wiki, written entirely by myself.
| + | |
| - | * [[Floppy Disk Container]], [[Couch Mumbling]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> My next proudest pages. I do nearly all of the info and formatting. The Floppy Disk Container is the largest original page on the wiki.

| + | |
| - | * [[HRWiki:Questions]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Started it as a subpage, and threw a bunch of questions there. With the rest of the wiki's help, it has since evolved into it's own project namespace article.

| - | * [[Strong Bad Email By Name of Sender|Strong Bad Email By Name]] and [[Strong Bad Email By Place|Place]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Read about the idea on the Strong Bad E-mail talk page, and created these twin pages in response. Added the first 100+ emails when I started it, and later reformatted the name one into tables.
| + | |
| - | * [[Store Thank You Messages]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Created the page from disorganized summaries in the Store, did pretty much all the work on it, including pics.
| + | |
| - | * [[Random Toon]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Convinced other users it was needed and spearheaded the page as soon as soon as Random toons selection began, resulting in much debugging info being saved before it was fixed and lost.
| + | |
| - | * [[Duck Guardian One]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Summaries of last 20 or so levels, completely made level select after finding it in the forum (after a while the links broke and it became obsolite, but it was cool while it lasted), and came up with armor glitch.
| + | |
| - | * [[Holiday Toons]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Started the page and worked on it lots, including finding and listing all the additional Holiday Toons.
| + | |

| - | * [[Monkey D]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Created the page, and added the pics.

| + | |
| - | * [[Making Out]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Came up with the idea, and made the page, along with a list of most of the occurances.
| + | |
| - | * [[Toilets]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Created the page, watch over it, and added most of the pics. I don't know why I like it so much, but I do.

| - | === <span style="color:#C90">Top 7 Scribings</span> ===
| + | |
| - | * [[Wired News Radio Interview - 23 June 2003]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Wrote the transcript for the entire 19 minute interview.
| + | |
| - | * [[Flashforward Intro]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Transcribed most of the interview before it was even released, since it was shown at Flashforward 2006.
| + | |
| - | * [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Wrote the entire transcript, and built the whole base page.
| + | |
| - | * [[Sketchbook (video)]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Stumbled across it only half complete, finished the other half of the transcript.
| + | |
| - | * [[Flashforward Interview - 10 Feb 2006]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> I only scribed one minute of this transcript. The majority was done by [[User:Phlip|Phlip]], with additional pieces from [[User:Kookykman|Kookykman]], [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]], and [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]].
| + | |
| - | * [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Scribed the last half of the Sample of Style Too section.
| + | |
| - | * [[death metal]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Only scribed the Easter Eggs. Not much to brag about.

| + | |
| - | * [[:Image:The Basement.PNG|Widescreen Basement]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> An early image of mine, it took quite a bit of work to splice that image together, especially in MS Paint.
| + | |
| - | * [[:Image:ComputerRoomFull.PNG|Full Computer Room]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Spliced together images from [[flashback]] and [[pop-up]]. [[User:Phlip|Phlip]] later spliced The Cheat's Lightswitch into the image.

| + | |
| - | *Over 11,000 views of my userpage. <span style="color:#FFF">Kinda Cool.</span>
| + | |
| - | *Over 300 images originally uploaded. <span style="color:#FFF">Many of them exclusive!</span>
| + | |
| - | *And I've welcomed well over 125 <!-- 129 as of April 25 -->new Users. <span style="color:#FFF">I was "welcomed" by "BurninatorBoombox&Markie"</span>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Most pages that aren't even on the periodical update list I watch and update. But my pet pages are listed under the Frequently Updated Pages section. They're my favorite pages. I'm very proud of the slow and methodical time I put into the updates pages, the time I spent watching every Strong Bad Email to fill out the name and place pages, and the time researching and adding the games in The Floppy Disk Container. The latter is by far my favorite page. I research the labels, add the new pics, add sources, all that good stuff. I like that page. It's my precious.
