PNG vs.JPG
Hey there. I noticed you've been uploading a lot of great images. I only have one problem, and that is that you are saving the images as .JPG files instead of .PNG files. I know we really haven't come up with an image policy yet, but pretty much everything that is a screenshot should be saved as a .PNG. They are meant for the web, have a great compression rate, and generally just look better. The Windows XP version of MSPaint even supports saving to .PNG, as do all other quality image editors like Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks. -- Tom 19:11, 20 Sep 2004 (MST)
Bird.
ThunderBird and FireBird. We should, like, join forces and stop crime all over New York City. We could be like "The Birds!" "Look, here come The Birds to save the day!" And I could be all, like, Neeoooww! Boom! Boom! Boom! "I fought them with my fire!" And you could be all Neeoowww! Ker-poussh! Ker-poussh! "I fought them with my thunder!" And then we'd fly away and leave the city at peace for another day.-- FireBird
Floppy Disk Screenshots
Hey there, Thunderbird. I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of uploading about half a dozen screenshots (from the sb email 65-75 era). I find it's a great cure for boredom, and I made sure to use very similar image size/ratios to yours (I monitored pixel size and cropped where necessary). I also made use of your pre-existing file names, so there was no need to even edit the article! I hope you enjoy my contribution, but if instead you would prefer to upload them, I'll "cease and desist"... just thought I'd help out the almighty king of screenshots! --Teh P. 02:29, 8 Oct 2004 (MST)
- Great job cleaning up the Floppy Disk Container Plus article T-Bird. I like it much. The page still needs a category, as all articles do. I think "inside jokes" would be appropriate. -Drhaggis 12:17, 1 Nov 2004 (MST)
Odell Lake
Got an Apple//e emulator working and found the dang rom. Got screenshots (or the emu itself, if you want). Completed the description and year. Sorry it took me so long :) --Southpaw018 19:59, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)
Length vs Width
T-Bird. I noticed you reverted my edits on Toilets. I'll explain why I made the table longer than wide. With my screen resolution, the last entry is pushed off the page as it was shown in the following picture, until Thunderbird deleted it because it was cluttering the talk page with a big picture.
I hope you understand why I fix these tables. -Drhaggis 12:45, 31 Oct 2004 (MST)

Re: note for Tom to enlarge virus Floppy image
I did resize the image. Hit ctrl+F5 to refresh. The image is Image:Floppy_virus.png. And I guess you didn't like the NPOV-type explanation for the game I put there? -- Tom 11:18, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)
Quote Of Week Box Design
Wow...I'm impressed yet again with 'The King of Screenshots.' You get a pizza trophy for 'image appropriateness' on the Quote of the Week article. I'm glad someone finally noticed what I was attempting to say when I provided those links to pictures/flash file of the new design. Your decision to make a thumbnailed screenshot was the best way to illustrate the current situation regarding the newest quote(s). I'm still not sure what to make of Homestar's appearance on a quote by obviously uttered by Strong Bad. What do you think is the reason behind this?
At present, I'm trying to figure out the best way I can state "Because of TBC's newly-implemented "Quote of the 'Whenever'" design, any attempts to open the file after you have saved "qod.swf" will be futile as the quote will not pop up from the screen like it normally used to with any quote file prior to the 'I doh du duoh crapfully yours' one. This may be due to changes in flash code/programming that now link directly to MPEG Layer 3 file(s) as opposed to a 'hot-wired' .WAV file and a link to a ZIP archive." Sheesh! I'm trying to consolidate all of the following reasoning into one grammical sentence, but it's difficult!

Good jorb.
Good jorb on all these projects you've been working on. Good prize. → FireBird
Catagorization
I've been trying to move the categorization away from the Reject/Inside Joke/Full fledged thing structure for a while now. I don’t think the number of times something is mentioned should be a factor in this resource. Having said that, I'm still not quite sure where to put pages like the Halloween Costumes, and Floppy Disk Container. They are Lists for sure, but they go deeper than that. Those pages, along with the SBEmail by name/location are more like database reports rather than core articles. All the info on them is somewhere else on the site, but it has been reformatted into a kind of database query response.
We could make a Halloween category, to put in toons, Pumpkin Stencils and the costume list.

Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be saved, because for everytime you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund.
Remember, we have no way of counting letters sent and this is all bull.
So go on, reach out. Send this to five people in the next 47 seconds. Oh, and a reminder - if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly.
Thanks again!!

Chain Letter Type 3
Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not as many little 8 year olds writing chain letters. So this is how it works.
Pass this on to 1,5067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like:
Queer Horror Story #1
Amanda Bundy was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of shit, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You!!!
Queer Horror Story #2
Dexter Bip, a 13-year-old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his best friend. They both died and went to hell. They continued to suffer in hell where they were both cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity.
This Could Happen To You!!!
Remember, you could end up like Bundy and Bip did. Just send this letter to all of your loser friends, and everything will be Ok.
Chain Letter Type 4
As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one of your friends.
Friends
-A friend is someone, who is always at your side
-A friend is someone who likes you even though you smell like dung
-A friend is someone who likes you even though you're disgustingly ugly
-A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself
-A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your loser life
-A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they really think you should be raped by a monkey and then thrown to vicious dogs,
-A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet and vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English, no sorry that's the cleaning lady
-A friend is NOT someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of being rich to come true.
Now pass this on! If you don't, the mutant lizards will eat you.
