== Thanks for the Strong Bad's Website Hookup ==

I forgot that it was his, and not the Cheat's. Also, I didn't know how to ask as a general question, so forgive me for putting the edit on the Cheat's page.

See you later,
-P Funky

== Waste of time ==

Can I make a "waste of time" template? Such as:

:[[Image:Exclamation Mark.png|30px]]'''''Warning: This is a waste of time.'''''<br>
{{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 23:44, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

:No. The only time that template would be needed would be to post it on itself as it's being made, which is kind of... You know... Impossible. Feel free to use it whenever, but by typing it out and adding the image, not by making it a template. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== JPG/PNG ==

Thanks for the tip that you del taco'd. I'll try to keep that in mind. {{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 01:06, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

:Heh, that was directed at another user, I got my wires crossed and accidentally directed it at you. Thanks for keeping it in mind anyways though. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

== Ok ==

ok, i changed it. it looks like this and fits: -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}

== [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]] ==

Hi, T-bird. Why did you revert my edit when I put my April Fool's day page on the sandbox? {{User:Tampo/sig}} 22:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

:If users want to see your userpage, they can go to [[User:Tampo]]. There is no reason to template it into the Sandbox as well, the Sandbox is fine as it is. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
::In rv/t, what does the T stand for? {{User:Tampo/sig}} 22:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
:::Anyway, When I type <nowiki>{{User:Tampo}}</nowiki> it doesn't show my userpage. It shows my Aprilween userpage. It only shows my userpage when I type <nowiki>{{subst:User:Tampo}}</nowiki>.{{User:Tampo/sig}} 22:47, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
::::That would be by your use of noinclude tags. But I'm sure you already knew that. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:56, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::What does "rv/t" mean? <s>I'm thinking it means "reverted troll" but i was just testing in the sandbox.</s> {{User:Tampo/sig}} 22:59, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

== Block ==

Your username has been blocked indefinitely because it is  inappropriate. You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to the HRWiki under a more appropriate username, and... '''and what'''? did you typre something there? --{{User:The thing/sig}} 00:06, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

:The window used for giving a reason for block is longer than the window allowed in recent changes. The user will see my full reason, and the full reason is also contained [[Special:Log/block|here]]. Thank you for your inquiry. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:08, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
::Won't blocking the username also block the IP that used it? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 02:18, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
:::Yes, for 24 hours. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Actually, once they try and use the account, ''then'' it blocks the IP address for 24 hours. But after it has autoblocked, you can go to the block log, and specifically unblock the autoblocked IP address, which I just did. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:50, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

==HRFWiki==
I didn't relize that you had power at the Fanstuff wiki. I thought that you only had power here.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 23:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

:All HRWiki sysops with accounts at the Fanstuff have provisional status there as well. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
::Cool. Also I hate to ask you this, but I know that this really doesn't matter anymore. But can you make me trusted. If you do I would help here a lot more.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 23:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
:::There is no "trusted" group anymore. That was created during the aftermath of the NSMC attack, and since then has been unneeded and redundant. That status was recently done away with (Earlier today in fact). {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Oh... How much stuff would I have to do to become a sysop?--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 23:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::See [[HRWiki:FAQ#How do I become an admin or sysop?]]. The basic principles are applicable at both wikis. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::Then I will be a sysop if its the last thing I do in my life.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 21:01, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

== Blog ==

I made a [http://hrwiki.blogspot.com/ HRWiki Blog]. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 21:38, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

:No, you didn't. You do not have the authority to make a blog in the HRWiki's name. What you are currently doing is also considered spamming. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
::Oh umm I'm sorry I didn't know. It took me two weeks to do this. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 21:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
:::Two weeks to set up the blog, or to post your reply? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:49, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Thats sounds a little rude.--{{User:H*bad/sig}}
:::::I'm sorry you feel that way, what I meant was that I just don't understand what exactly took him two weeks to do. I would assume it wouldn't be to post the reply, but does it really take two weeks to set up a blog on blogger? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:58, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::Oh, then I am sorry. Its just the post your reply could imply that your calling him stupid.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 22:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::::No, I did not mean anything of the sort. That comment was meant as a play on his choice of words to ask for a clarification, not as an insult. I see how it could have been construed differently due to the inability to include inflection and sarcasm in the written word; perhaps if I had included ;) it would have been more accurately understood. And my original question still stands before this thread went off topic, that of "Did it really take two weeks to set up the blog?" {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:11, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

==Bureaucrat==
I was really suprised just now that your not a Bureaucrat. I mean you are quiet possibly one of the best Sysops on here, thats not a Sysop, Bureaucrat.--{{User:H*bad/sig}}

:The biggest difference between sysops and bureaucrats/developers is the ability to go into the interworkings of the wiki, which is way over my head anyways. If I ever were to change anything beneath the surface code, I would probably end up doing more harm than good. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:43, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
::Oh, but I believe in you. And if they vote for Bureaucrats then I will vote for you.--[[User:H*bad|H*bad]] 22:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

::::::To the best of my knowledge, he is not the editthis.info guy. And he chose to delete his pages when he left the wiki. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:34, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::Not on the knowledge base. His pages were deleted for him. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::Rainer was, at one time, an incredibly respected administrator on the Fanstuff Wiki. However, he left November 29, I believe. He left his userpage as a goodbye note to the Fanstuff Wiki, but somewhere in late April, he came back for one final edit, in which he deleted his userpage, saying "Don't need this anymore...". He then requested here a name change to Rob. The only reason we can ssume for this is that he is completely divesting himself of the Rainer account in a symblocial way. Thus, Rob is barely an account. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:04, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

== About my Anonny Contribution ==
Thunderbird,
The info I gave is, in fact, first-hand info about the identity of the "Anonymous Contributor" from Gambier, OH. I understand that it's not easily backed-up, but is there any way that this info (or some modified version of it) could eventually make it on the actually Anonymous main page? I think it would be pretty cool if this were possible. Let me know! Thanks. -Davonian

:Sadly, this kind of thing happens [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=lures_%26_jigs&diff=next&oldid=282583 pretty often]. However not only is there really no way to verify interesting facts of this nature, (though in this case I totally belive you), it also doesn't really contribute to the article very muchly. However it has been added to the talk page for the article, and I do appreciate the contribution. In the future if we decide to make a list of all "Email Authorship Claims", I will be sure to add the information you have given. (Though I am curious, since you didn't exactly give much information; are you the author himself, a close friend who knows who it is, or somebody on the outside)? Thanks again for your contribution, I always enjoy talking with those who have had their emails answered, or know someone who have. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

::If you can believe me to be a follower of a famous saying by Socrates, then you will surely believe me when I say that I ''know'' the actual author very well.

::Sorry about that...I'm a philosophy minor, you see (and was almost a major). Let me know if that made any sense. -Davonian (I should figure out how to do a spiffy little sig)

:::The "spiffy little sig" starts with the basics, namely typing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your post. See also [[HRWiki:Signature]] and [[Help:Signature]]. As for the question of authorship, since this has come up before, I have created a [[User:Thunderbird L17/Authorship|trial subpage]] to list all authorship claimants. Feel free to clarify my entry of your claim there. Regarding your comment about the famous saying by Socrates, I'm sorry but I must admit I have no idea what you meant there. ;) Let me know if you have any more questions regarding the wiki, if you are planning to stick around I also highly suggest creating yourself a [[User:Davonian|userpage]]. Again, welcome. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:56, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

::::Just thought you should know...but maybe I'll be nice to Anonny and keep his/her identity a little bit more secret to the public for the time being. I guess people could still find that information, since I can't get rid of it in a truly permanent way, but if they find it, well, good for them.

:::::If you wish, I could remove the supposed claim of authorship regarding [[rock opera]], depending on how annonymous the author wishes to remain. (By the way, rock opera is one of my favorite emails). {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:49, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

::::::The way you have it right now seems to be juuust fine. I mean, it doesn't actually tell anybody anything about who Anonny actually is. By the way, he/she says he/she is glad you like his/her email. Maybe someday he/she will like to proclaim his/her true identity to the world. {{User:Davonian/sig}}

==Hey==
Hey thunderbird, why is it that like the sysops at fanstuff aren't sysops here?--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 16:08, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

:While I'm here fixing your signature, I may as well reply. The sysops at HRFWiki are not decided by the [[Special:Listusers/developer|administrators]], but rather the current HRFWiki [[HRFWiki:Special:Listusers/sysop|sysops]] themselves. Conversely, the [[Special:Listusers/sysop|sysops]] here are wholly or in part decided by the administrators, and are therefore given [[HRFWiki:Special:Listusers/reservist|reserve sysop]] powers on HRFWiki. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 16:18, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
::Really how interesting. I had no idea.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 16:22, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
:::That's an interesting sig, Mr. Bad. But yes, Lapper is right. Since none of the administrators are very active at the fanstuff, the active sysops there are responsible for observing fanstuff users and reccomend active and outstanding ones to the admins for sysoping. However since bureaucrat status is required for changing user rights, these users are still approved by the admins before being sysoped by them. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:49, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Thanks. I modeled my sig after the best sysop of the week or month, or at least who I think is the best sysop of the week or month.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 17:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

==Test page==

Hi there, I see you deleted my test page. I was actually still using it, I meant to use it sort of as a sandbox, that kind of thing. [[User:AlliterativeAssociate|AlliterativeAssociate]] 20:42, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

:If you have to conduct another test in the future, you may effortlessly recreate a subpage for such a purpose. If you wish for a permanent sandbox, please name is so; the title "test" is generally used for a short, one time test. Creating subpages named things like "test" and filling them with jibberish, then swiftly blanking them will usually result in swift deletion. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

::Oh OK, thanks. I'll go and do that. (I called it "test" because that's what Granola called his, so I thought that was what it's supposed to be called.) [[User:AlliterativeAssociate|AlliterativeAssociate]] 23:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

:::No Chris, it should be called sandbox. Thanks for correcting that. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:19, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

::::My name's Jeff, Granola/Yelt is named Chris. But anyway, thanks for correcting me. I guess I should have known not to follow HIS advice, lol. [[User:AlliterativeAssociate|AlliterativeAssociate]] 01:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

== Delete ==

Can you please delete my user page? {{User:DBK/sig}} 20:20, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

:Done. I would request either putting a short note up there instead now, or alternatively changing your signature so that it doesn't point towards a red link. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:29, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

== [[Help: Vandalism]] ==

:Protecting a page due to vandalism is only done after persistant attacks. Two or three vandalism is hardly reason to protect a page. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:14, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

== Tweak ==
Um.. Why are you tweaking my welcome message?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 00:48, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

:I belive Tom has already told you before, that the usermessage class was designed with one purpose in mind. Using it for other things makes them look poor, there's much too much orange. In addition, substing your <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> template makes it look more personalized. If they try to reply to the message, without it being subst'd they're greeted with "Welcome, PAGENAME!" (not very welcoming). I'm sure you understand. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:55, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok. I thought that the Subst thing he was talking about was to make sure nothing gets messed up. Do you think I should change it also at the fanstuff?--[[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] 00:58, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

:He was talking about substing the template as a whole, but substing the PAGENAME template is also a good idea. If you're changing it here, you may as well change your fanstuff welcome too if you wish. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
