Maybe you should get a darker colour for your sig, or maybe it's my monitor's problem. I can't even read it without highlighting it. Okay bye. RAINER^talk 19:35, 3 Apr 2005 (MDT)

I've noticed the same thing. If you're looking for another color, but there's not a name for the color you want, you can define it using hexadecimal notation:

• <font color=#A08803> Like this. </font>

The first two digits are the red channel, the second two are the green channel, and the third two are the blue channel. The numbers go from 00 to FF hexadecimal (0 to 255 decimal), with 00 being all the way off and FF being all the way on.

Here's a sample of some colors: #000000, #FF0000, #00FF00, #0000FF, #FFF159, #E3217E, #E55B17, #00975D, #5E4EBE, #805934, #DDDDDD (#FFFFFF would be white). Experiment and have fun. — It's dot com 17:59, 8 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Thanks man, that was just the explanation I was looking for. I'll get right on it a bit later. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 10:05, 9 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Alright, I've got a bit of spare time, and am gonna go for it. this'll help quite a bit too, for anyone... ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 18:25, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Floppy Disk Container (sans Plus)

Hi there, Thunderbird. After reading some comments about the reasons why there should be a reduction of the title, I decided to go ahead and move all the content from the "Floppy Disk Container Plus" to Floppy Disk Container that formerly was a redirect. I moved the talk page as well, so nothing except the edit history will be lost. I even changed all the links that pointed to the Plus article to the current location and changed the plus article to a redirect. I hope you don't mind me being so bold in my decisions to the extent where I was editing your user page to reflect the change. It's just that I felt it was time to "make the move". I hope you understand - I know that page has "pride and joy" status to you. --^{THE PAPER} 23:04, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Confirmation

I am certain I've seen the email response you credited to Strong Bad before - in fact, I so believe I may have received it myself after emailing Strong Bad (I started watching during the Tandy era). Just figured I'd give you some confirmations beisdes some website in the middle of nowhere. ;) --Jay 02:50, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I noticed you mentioning this to The Paper, too. I don't know if you knew it from that message, but the page that Strong Bad linked to still gets a link from another part of the site and has a page here - it's the Email Processing Room, and I am pretty sure that it IS linked in an email - website comes to mind but I could be wrong. --Jay 03:09, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Email

Hi there T-bird. Do you check your email? -- Tom 01:04, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sysop

Just letting you know, you have been given sysop privileges. If you have any questions, never hesitate to ask. Thanks. -- Tom 01:17, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

SWEET DEAL!!! All day today, I'd been dreaming of what it would be like to be sysop'd, only to get home and find Firebird and Jay left me in the dust. My sadness turned to extaticness however, when Tom alearted me to a possible e-mail of monolithic proportions drifting amongst my junk mail. I replied, and within minutes my computer began to shake and rattle, exploding with the power of sysopness. So that's my story. And thank you so much Admins, I am deeply honored. (Go figure, I never would have guessed they'd ask permission to upgrade users, or do so through the avenue of email, not User talk pages). The moral of the story: Everybody... Check Your Email...⇔Sysopbird⇔ 01:23, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ha! I knew you'd get SYSOP'D! →FireBird

Yup, congratumalations, my peer. Sysop Commandos... rock rock on! :p --Jay 01:25, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Many Combolations, Thundergirth! Like FireBird, I knew you'd get a upgrade to sysop one of these days. What, with all you've created for us (Floppy Disk Container, Halloween Costumes, and Strong Bad Email By Name just to name a few). I recently found out that I've also joined the ranks as well. As Jay put it so eloquently, "Sysop Commandos... rock rock on!" --^{THE PAPER} 14:18, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sysop Commandos, they're maybe fighting for freedom, and each is sold separately! Sysop Commandos, they're maybe battling evil! Buy all our playsets and toys! ....okay, I guess that doesn't work so well :p Aurora the Homestar Coder 17:10, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sightings

(b asicly copuing whats on my talk page)

Just what sightings do you have in mind? If you mean things like the Buffy appearance, Ryan S on Survivor, ect, I really think you're onto something. I do think the page needs a major overhaul/cleaning. But I really think the page for interviews and appearances should be seperate, only for offical, TBC speakings and interviewings. Let's get the one page up and running first, and then we'll try and figure out just how to clean out the sightings page. I, as well as likely any of the other sysops, will be happy to hear your ideas for how to clean up this long and disorganized page. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 00:15, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I was thinking the Macromedia Flash 8 sighting, the buffy sighting, anything thats not just random (like the kids watching an email in Supersize Me or someone wearing a t-shirt). Sightings that are rare, significant, and interesting should be moved to another page.-- _{Posted by:} -erson ^Talk 13:24, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

HRWiki Sig

The (e) is supposed to link to Special:Emailuser/Pidgeot, but that Special page seems to be missing here. Therefore, I've crossed it out. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 10:30, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Trogga

I blocked Trogga for 48 hours as of May 11. S/he said "we stink", which is good enough for me. Just thought I'd tell you. →FireBird
