The Brothers Chaps have recently put the Homestar Runner website, especially Strong Bad Email, on hiatus. This page documents the various phases of the hiatus.

Strong Bad Emails
The first long Strong Bad Email hiatus was in between email thunder and hremail3184, lasting 280 days (nine months and one week). It was the longest Sbemail gap when it came out, and for a while afterwards, one Strong Bad email came out each month. The last Strong Bad email, videography, came out on October 5, 2009, and as of now it is the longest Strong Bad email gap in the history of the site (over two years). As of October 23, 2025, the hiatus is still ongoing. However, The Brothers Chaps do not seem to have forgotten about Strong Bad Email, as they have released drafts for the email that eventually became geddup noise as well as a calendar that documents the release dates of all Strong Bad Emails and shows an image and a quote from selected emails.
Site — 2010
During 2010, after the April Fools' Day toon Xeriouxly Forxe came out (itself the first toon in nearly five months), barely any material was produced on the website. Most of the articles presented on the main page were Store offers. This may be because of a new baby in the family, as noted on the FeedBurner page, and the possibility they were busy working on a different project. For the first time in the site's history, no Halloween cartoon was produced in 2010. After over seven months of no updates, on November 22, Poker Night at the Inventory was released. On December 14, 2010, A Decemberween Mackerel was released, temporarily ending the hiatus. This was shortly followed by Which Ween Costumes? on December 22.
Site — 2011
Following the holiday break into the new year, the site was back on hiatus, though Puppet Strong Bad did appear at an Aquabats concert in January. There have been no updates since, and for the third time in its history since the trend began, the site was not updated for April Fools' Day in any way. In September, Matt created a Twitter account in which he stated that Homestar Runner would sooner be updated "sporadically and without warning", and that he works for the Nickelodeon program Yo Gabba Gabba, for which he had previously created an animated segment.
