==Some Stew==
[[Image:Iron cup of Brunswick Stew.jpg|frame|Keep on keepin’ it on!]]
For your contributions these past few weeks, in particular your taking on both the task of adding links for things that need to be linked to and the task of transcribing Easter Eggs, I present you with this Iron cup of Brunswick Stew.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:32, 19 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Whoa! And here I thought no one noticed me! Thank you very much. Clearly I need to spend even more time on the Wiki so I can earn a trophy full of Steak'ums. :) (BTW, I love typing and copying things. If there's anything that needs to be copied that I'm missing, let me know!) [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 23:14, 19 Mar 2005 (MST)

I too would like to give you a belated "Good Jorb," for adding all the Places to toons. Keep up the pace! [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 02:13, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::::Thanks. That's what I generally try to do, think of [[User:Thunderbird L17#Proudest Contributions|cool pages]] to make that I can take my time on, not racing [[User:Homestar Coder#Previously on Wiki|people]] for new transcrips.

==Pay Plus Stuff==

Hey, I've been using the H*R Wiki for a while to check updates to the site, and now I've recently decided to give editing some of the stubs a try. I just wanted to say I was amazed by how quickly you've started putting the new April Fool's Day page information up, and to say thanks for the hard work. :) [[User:JackoRougburn|JackoRougburn]] 1:25, 01 Apr 2005 (CST)

Hello again, and thank you so much for telling me how to delete that page I made! It took me only about half an hour to screw up something... I'm rather proud of that. ;) Anyway, thanks again for the help, and if I run into a problem again, I know who to ask. [[User:JackoRougburn|JackoRougburn]] 3:12, 01 Apr 2005 (CST)

:No probalo! Here's a good page for that sort of stuff: [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Index MediaWiki User's Guide]. And no worries about screwing something up -- it's a Wiki, someone will rapidly fix your mistakes :) [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 02:14, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)

==Quote sources==

You should list the sources for those quotes. Most of them I recognize, but a few I do not.

== sorry ==

Aurora, sorry I guess I don't know the etiquitte. You'll notice that what I did was strike out his text because he changed his vote below. I figured he just forgot to strike out his old vote, so I did that for him. If I had changed my vote in a similar manner, I wouldn't have minded someone doing similarly for me. Thanks for letting me know....--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 17:11, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Oh, okay. I'm sorry I misunderstood; I thought you just changed his vote, and didn't notice his other vote below. No probalo! <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:53, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Email ==

Hi there Aurora. Is the email address you have set in your preferences correct? And if so, do you check that address regularly? Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:11, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:It is a correct email, but not one I check regularly. I'll check it now, though... if you need a better email address, I could give you one. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 06:57, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Sysop ==

Just letting you know, you have been given [[HRWiki:Administrators|sysop]] privileges. If you have any questions, never hesitate to ask. Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:28, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Excellent! Thanks muchly! *looks at new links at top of screen* Ooh, shiny! <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 14:19, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oh, if you block someone for defacing something, you don't need to add them to the [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll list]]. That's really just there to bring defacement to the sysops attention. Just providing a summary of their defacement in the "Reason" box on the [[Special:Blockip|block page]] is fine. Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:23, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:Ah, okay. Wow, less work for me! <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 00:28, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::Congratulations Aurora, you'll make an excellent Sysop! Thinking back, I can't belive you weren't nominated. If I had thouht of it, I would have nominated you myself. I hope you're not offended. Either way, you've been recognized, and are in.

::::Actually, I'd considered nominating you myself... I eventually decided against it because I thought that the consensus would be that you were too new. Guess I was wrong. ;) --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 02:46, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

== Troll blocking ==

An interesting conundrum: What happens when two sysops block the same user at the same time, but one blocks for 24 hours while the other blocks with an indefinite expiry... guess we're gonna find out, huh? --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 17:05, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:I think you blocked after me, so it will be indefinate. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 17:05, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:: Probably, but I found it interesting that both are listed on the [[Special:Ipblocklist|Ipblocklist]]. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 17:07, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:::Heh. Weird. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 17:07, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::::For two different definite time blocks, the lower one would take precedence. As for one with a definite time and one for indefinite, I have no idea. We could test it...[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:47, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Main Page 22 ==

"If you roll over the Store button several times, to make it grow, then roll over the Downloads button, you can still see the left edge of the Store button when Edgar pops up." 
Why'd you remove it? It seems reasonable to me... It's true, TBC simply didn't make the edgarware box wide enough... --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 02:13, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:We don't put Flash glitches and tricks on the Wiki, sorry. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 02:54, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
::I was under the impression that we just didn't put glitches caused by manipulation of the Flash software - for instance, pausing the Flash or viewing the .swf file. We include LOTS of Flash glitches as ordinary facts - there's even a subcategory of Fun Facts dedicated to just that. My two cents. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 05:37, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::You're right about that, actually, I was mistaken. I meant more that we don't usually put down things that involve "if you roll over this button, then roll over that button, etc. etc. it looks glitchy." There's usually one or more of these in every main page and it's not very exciting reading IMO. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 08:05, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

__NOTOC__

==Radio Interviews==

Hey there Aurora, I was just curious about the transcript you made for the radio interview. Are radio interviews fair game as far as transcripts go, or did you have to ask the people for permission? I'm not much of the legal fellow, so I was just wondering. Thanks, ''<tt>[[Special:Contributions/Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]]</tt>'' 16:27, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

:Beats me.... that particular sound clip didn't even come with a website attached to it. I don't have time to deal with that right now, so if someone else wants to take it down and contact the radio station, then that would be fine... <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 20:32, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

==Siggie==

Hi Aurora. I just thought I'd pass a bit of [[User:JoeyDay|Joey Day]] wisdom on to you about sigs. (I've been going through most the sysops slowly) Have you tried the template sig meathod? Basically it lets you shorten your code left behind, and lets you change ALL your sigs at the same time. You just put your sig code on a subpage of your userpage, (e.g. 'User:Homestar Coder/sig' or something). Then in your prefferances box, put <nowiki>{{User:Homestar Coder/sig}}</nowiki> as your signature. And that's all there is to it. After that, if you ever change your sig on your subpage, it'll change all of the ones you've put since you started it. It sure changed my life. spread the word! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:47, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, I was going to do that... I'm lazy... <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 06:21, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

== Cleanup template ==

From [[Experimental Film]] :Thanks for the heads up on when to use this. I'll leave it alone unless a page is in big trouble (but with all y'all around, does that ever happen?) [[User:Sgleason|S Gleason]] 14:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== the right STUFF ==

Hey Aurora (or is it Amanda?), it's Dot com. I'm wanting to move forward with the new STUFF stuff, and to help rally the wiki community around my idea, I'd like to set up a STUFF sandbox so we can practice the new format and get used to it. For that, though, I need to set up some styles on the [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css|master style sheet page]]. Something like:

''{code deleted}''

Not being an admin, I can't do it myself. Can you help me with this, or do I need to take it to Joey? Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:47, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I think I could edit that page, but I think you should ask Joey about it first. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 03:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Cool. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:::Hold off on this for a bit.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:25, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::Um, what do you mean? I've already written to Joey. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:44, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::He must mean hold off on the Stuff reform. *sigh* <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 06:42, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::::Or maybe he was going to go ahead and make the CSS changes for me (looking at the monobook page history, I see now that he is the only other person besides Joey to ever edit it). Which is it, Tom? Keep in mind, I'm not about to make any drastic changes to the wiki—I'm just getting my ducks in a row to make a practice page in order to ''propose'' changes to the wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:51, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)</s>

Aurora, I've gotten another idea, and I think it's better than this. Let me see if I can make it work, and I'll get back to you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:38, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:K. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 20:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

At last, the format is ready for [[HRWiki:stuff test index|rigorous public testing]]. Come on down and give it a spin. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 08:42, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Pretty cool! Great jorb! I was wondering why the test is using made-up Stuff'd facts rather than the real ones. Won't people be confused if they don't understand we're testing a new stuff system and see that some obvious facts got stuffed? <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 15:05, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::That's a good point, but I think that testing with live pages would be even ''more'' confusing. Casual readers of the wiki don't see the recent changes page, just the articles. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:56, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::Oh, I didn't see that they were "test japanese cartoon" etc. OK, my concern is retracted. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 16:16, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Marzipan's skeleton ==

Why did you revert my edit regarding Marzipan's skeleton on That a Ghost? —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 13:53, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Because we generally omit any fun facts that come from viewing the Flash file. If we accepted everything that came from viewing the Flash file as canon, then we'd have to say that characters frequenly lose limbs and appear out of nowhere. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 14:27, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Good point. Nevertheless, I think that this fun fact is important because it helps to further elucidate Marzipan's unusual anatomy. Is there an alternate location that I should mention this? —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 21:52, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::: One thing I rarely agree with Aurora on is the treatment of .swf files. While it is true that we should not mention objects that DON'T appear outside the frame, like, say, missing limbs, objects that DO appear outside the frame but DON'T appear inside are generally noteworthy IMHO. Anyway, lemme check this out. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:59, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::Your comment on the [[That A Ghost]] page was "you can see even more of it [Marzipan's skeleton] if you view the Flash file and make the window tall and skinny". I don't think this adds anything, because there's not even a description of what you can see. I looked at it, and all that's there is a few "bones" that make the bottom of her dress, just like the ones that make up The Strong Bad's and The Homestar Runner's shoes. I don't find that very noteworthy in this case. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:49, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::: It just bothers me when we're picking apart stuff that TBC never really intended us to see (except, perhaps, for "Homestache Runner", but this toon was made far before that). Maybe they left stuff like the rest of Marzipan's skeleton out of frame because they were dissatisfied with how it looked and wouldn't want it to be considered canon. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:39, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::: I don't think this is a question of canon. I think that when they built Marzipan's skeleton, they built the whole thing without worrying what would be in and out of frame, and then when they put the toon together, part of it just happened to be below the black. But since it's only ''barely'' cut off, I don't think the additional wording above does anything to make the article more complete. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:49, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::: Sorry, forgot to respond. Yeah, looking at it, there's not very much that's cut off in this case and the fact stands without needing to mention the .swf. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:53, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::: I guess you guys are right. Still, there are a few bones that you don't see inside the frame. However, they are not much, and they don't really add anything to the fact that "Marzipan's skirt has bones". —[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 02:46, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::::: Okay, I guess this got resolved. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 03:12, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== "This stuff is really getting old." ==

You said something to that effect on the STUFF page and I would like to nominate you forGOD for making that comment.

On the other hand, if people stopped being gigantic jerks to each other on the STUFF page, where will I get my daily daily dose of rage? [[User:131.247.9.91|131.247.9.91]]

:Well, there are upcoming measures which will hopefully solve the STUFF problem. Under the new system created by [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] there will be no more "clever" votes or personal comments, just a list of arguments for and against the fact and a list of signatures for votes. Don't worry, I'm sure there's plenty of places on the Internet you can go for a daily dose of rage -- try visiting an extremely partisan political blog ;) <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 16:53, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Do you mean that the pictures you put up were previews of the individual Character Evolution pages? It's a nice idea, but you'd probably want to make the pictures uniform sizes and put it in some sort of table.

:::::So I stuffed some facts for "test crazy cartoon", and I have to say that while the results are very pretty and organized, it's also a very complicated process and I'm worried that it will confuse people who aren't very familiar with Wiki workings. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 19:34, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::::I do agree that it's complicated—at least, more complicated than before. When I first thought up the design, I knew it would be. So it became my task to make the process as streamlined as possible. First of all, voting on a particular fact is just as easy as it's always been, maybe easier now that people don't have to strain themselves to come up with something unfunny. Making it easy to vote was important to me: you click "edit" next to the fact, you put in <tt><nowiki>#~~~</nowiki></tt>, you click save—no muss, no fuss (and the instructions on how to vote are front and center).<div style="text-indent:2em">As far as adding a new STUFF item goes, I guess there's a tradeoff between simplicity and attractiveness. I'd say it's worth it, considering how fed up so many users are with the current STUFF page. But I truly believe it won't seem as complicated once we get the hang of it. All you really have to remember are three templates: <tt><nowiki>{{checkstuffpage}}</nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki>{{stuffnew|...}}</nowiki></tt>, and <tt><nowiki>{{stuffmore|...}}</nowiki></tt>. Everything else is just cutting and pasting. At the very least, if somebody ''truly'' can't get it to work, all he or she needs to do it try their best, and someone will be along shortly to clean it up (like on the [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]] page). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:35, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)</div>

:::::::Yeah, it ''does'' look good, and adding votes/arguments is quite simple.

: I somehow doubt he's really leaving for good. Anyway, you'd be better off trying to make friends with people here than enemies - especially when the people you choose as enemies have the power to block you from editing! However, although it was really dumb, my computer had no issue with the BIG TEXT (which didn't appear all THAT big to me) that he kept adding to everything and, if I knew it was a problem for you guys, I would have gladly reverted it the old fashioned way (I guess my computer puts a limit on the maximum text size on IE... yes, I use IE for the time being. Oh well.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:37, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Well, the thing with the big text was that it blocked the edit button off for people with certain configs (like mine). Reverting it wasn't very hard, but doing it repeatedly in the Sandbox was a pain because newbies might get frustrated over why they can't edit the Sandbox -- it's supposed to be a user-friendly place. Anyway, I wasn't the one who banned him.

=== Discover Magazine ===
I saw this in the [[Magazine Sightings|sightings]] and wondered whether you knew this person:
<blockquote>In the June 2005 issue of ''Discover'', in the article "A double-blind, random, case-controlled, clinical, and thoroughly unscientific study of MIT nerds" (page 43), a full-page picture shows an MIT student named Amanda Seybold wearing a Trogdor T-shirt.</blockquote>
I realize there's around 10,000 MIT students, so it may be a longshot if she's not in your department, but I figured I'd ask anyway. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:45, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Hehehe, you should've checked [[Talk:Magazine Sightings]]. She lives in my dorm. :) She was rather excited that the H*R Wiki appreciated her T-shirt. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:48, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Is it like a grad-student dorm or something? I moved back into the dorm to save money the last semester of my senior year, and it was decidedly ''not'' as much fun as when I was a freshman. I bet your mail gets mixed up, what with your names being so close. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:56, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::No, I'm still in my undergrad dorm (I just graduated this month, and I don't move to the grad dorm until August).

I suppose I fit right in ;) As you can see from the article, we won Mystery Hunt this year, which is so awesome. (Check out the Property of Ones puzzle on [[School Sightings]]). That's a pretty good article, and I'm pleased that it focuses so heavily on East culture. They even touch on some pretty controversial stuff. It's also nice that it focuses on Hunt rather than hacking. All the MIT articles talk about is hacking, but I'm a hunter, not a hacker ;) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 00:21, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::::::My eyes seem to be broken today. They're having trouble reading words that are right in front of them. (I admit I only skimmed the article.) But "Random" Hall? That seems so... I forget the technical term. Okay, I found "hack":
::::::::::''The word hack at MIT usually refers to a clever, benign, and "ethical" prank or practical joke, which is both challenging for the perpetrators and amusing to the MIT community (and sometimes even the rest of the world!). Note that this has nothing to do with computer (or phone) hacking (which we call "cracking").''
:::::::::So you're not a hacker. Are you a cracker? (I sound like Dave Chappelle.) As for this "hunting" business, I'll say I could see how to arrive at the answer once I saw the solution spelled out, but you're telling me that somebody sat down and pieced all this together? With no hints? I'm no intellectual slouch, but I doubt I would have had the patience to figure that out. As your Jeff Barrett would put it, I "can't figure out what the f— all this s— is." (And isn't ''that'' colorful language? I don't think I would have chosen to swear right there, but that's just me.

Hey AtHC, How do people become Administrators? I've been thinking about that... -Kinsey

:I don't want to presume to speak for Aurora, but I've written at length about this very subject on [[User_talk:Balmung of Azure Sky#Welcome|this page]], if that helps. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:42, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::''Here is the relevant text from that page:''<blockquote>Becoming an admin, as they're also called, is a good goal to have, but it doesn't happen overnight. Basically, you start out at the bottom of the totem pole, and work your way up. Over time, people will begin to notice your edits; you'll want to make good ones. If you do, gradually a sense of trust will develop between you and the wiki community. In the meantime, fight [[HRWiki:WikiTroll|trolls]], add good [[stuff|fun facts]], [[Special:Recentchanges|monitor]] pages for bad edits, help out with the maintenance of the site, learn the ins and outs of the software. Undertake a worthwhile project (but ... it's best to get approval before doing so). Then, sometime in the future, the current admins will open the floor for nominations for new sysops, at which time another user can throw your name in the ring. Then, we'll all vote on you. They probably won't nominate new admins for a while, and when they do, maybe you'll be nominated, maybe not. Either way, keep on keepin' on making good edits and building up that trust. It's just that simple!</blockquote>

::I'm glad you posted that, It's dot com, because it's a good explanation! Definately monitor for edits, learn to recognize good and poor edits, and always be diplomatic in discussions. Undertaking worthwhile projects (with wiki-approval first) is a great way to contribute and be noticed. To all of this, I would add that you should think about why you want to become an administrator. If you want to be an administrator to have more power, that's the wrong reason. It's about responsibility, not power, and it sometimes involves doing unpleasant things. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:46, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Name ==
Dear Amanda, 
I noticed [[#the right STUFF|over a month ago]] (when I checked out some of the other pages on your server) that you had a different (i.e. real) name, but you never commented on it so I didn't press it. Why the sudden switch? Just curious. (Amanda is a very lovely name. It will be hard, though, to get out of the habit of typing "reply for Aurora".) Is this why you recently started going by "Homestar Coder" in your sig? 
Sincerely, 
[[User:It's dot com|Ben]]

:Aurora Szalinski was my internet persona name for years, and I've just grown tired of it. I kept using it because it was convenient; "Aurora Szalinski" is NEVER taken as a username, and I had some pride in having a unique username that nobody else on the Internet has ever used (at least according to Google). But I prefer my real name to Aurora and I don't like that people tend to associate my Internet name with a stupid fairytale princess. I've decided to switch over from my old pseudonym, and that is indeed why I changed my sig. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:18, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::::Good. I didn't ''think'' you took it wrong, but on something as personal as a name, it doesn't hurt to be sure.

Hi there Homestar Coder. When you made the [[Template:talktobedeleted|talktobedeleted template]], was your intention what is described on the [[:Category:To be deleted]] page?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:09, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Nope. The idea was a template that can go on the talk page of an ''article'' which is going to be deleted, so people know what the conversation is about... The intention stated on "Category: To be deleted" is also valid, but I would have reworded the template more (talktobedeleted says "This article is pending deletion...). Should I create a new one that says "This talk page is pending deletion", or what? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 03:40, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, that's what I figured. No, I don't really think we need a seperate template for the deleting of talk pages. I could see where the confusion arose though, since the two templates share the category.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 04:24, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::Did we ever figure out a better wording for the template? I just changed it to "The article this talk page accompanies is currently pending deletion"?

What do you think?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:06, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::I think the new wording clears it up, but I think we should have another template to use to signal that we are pending deletion on the talk page and not the article. Like when an anonny creates a talk page like, "Home* Runnuw Rulez!"

==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. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:39, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

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. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==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. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 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. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:46, 1 Sep 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! ^_^ — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 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. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:52, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Bronco Trolleys

Homestar Coder ON WHEELS! — Mon, 24 Oct 2005 21:45:51 GMT

Homestar Coder ON WHEELS!: Bronco Trolleys moved to Bronco Trolleys ON WHEELS!

[[Image:bronco_t.PNG|thumb|right|220px|A bronco on the trolley]]

'''Bronco Trolleys''' is a game that challenges you to make snacks for [[Homestar Runner]]. These curious snacks are made with Triscuits, peanut butter, and an orange slice. If you win, Homestar becomes really fat; if you lose, Homestar is a very skinny athlete.

'''Page Title:''' Bronco Trolleys!!

== Instructions ==
A Bronco Trolley is Homestar Runner's favorite after-school snack. It is made by spreading peanut butter on a Triscuit, and topping it with a slice of orange. Help him make as many Bronco Trolleys as possible by clicking on the Triscuit, the peanut butter, and then the orange. Work fast; you've only got 30 seconds.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*[[Mike Chapman]] had a dream with Broncos in it when the site started inspiring the game. He never actually ate one until later. (Source: [[l33t Interview]])

===Glitches===
[[Image:BT999.gif|thumb|right|220px|Super high score!]]
*You can cheat by pressing Tab+Enter. You can make well over a hundred Bronco Trolleys using this method.
**If you're good with this trick, try holding down the Enter key on the orange slice. If you get the timing right, your score will go through the roof and you can get over 800 Trolleys (but the third digit is not fully visible)
**If you quickly repeatedly enter on the peanut butter in order to bring up maximum oranges, then entering repeatedly on one of the oranges causes the count to go so fast that the timer apparently freezes, and you can score infinite points. After the finish if you let go, however, it shows your timer as higher than 30.
*Another simple cheat is to click on the same cracker repeatedly, causing it to duplicate.
*There is also a method for getting infinite time. When you get to the screen with the red start button, use a seek bar and drag it to the right a little. This starts the game, but with the time as zero. This way, you can play forever.

I understand they're called "the Sad Kids", however, it seemed to me on first seeing them, judging by their lethargic disposition, pale complexion, and darkened eye sockets, that they're probably anemic (due to iron deficiency). Why do you suppose they'd be anemic? A diet of marshmallows would tend to cause that! 28 August 2005

'''The Sad Kids''' (A boy and a girl) were created by [[Strong Sad]] in [[Homestarloween Party]]. They have the same voice, and don't actually say anything except confused statements, such as "Huh?", "What?", and "Weird." They often appear in commercials for Fluffy Puff [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|Marshmallows]] and [[Fluffy Puff Air-Puffed Sugar Delights|Air-Puffed Sugar Delights]], which strangely suggests that they live in both the present-day and the [[Old-Timey|1930s]], or have look-alikes.
