The index page messages on the right.

The index page has three sections for messages: "the latest styles", which announces updates as well as old content, "store", which advertises merchandise, and "social", which is an embedded timeline of @StrongBadActual Tweets. The first two sections show five or six messages each (depending how many there are), which can be scrolled through using dots at the bottom of their respective boxes. These sections were added on December 31, 2020, when the site was updated, replacing the footer that had been on the page for two years prior.

Old Crap Corner

Old Crap Corner is for "highlighting weird and forgotten stuff you maybe never saw". It always takes up one "slide" of the Latest Styles section, and uses the same format as the other entries, except each one is listed under "old crap corner" instead of its actual title.

Post-Flash Update

Date: Thursday, December 31, 2020

Page Title: Ow! My entire website!!

post-flash update!

Ruffulate!
The boys with their new lord and master Sunset PlayButt. Stop trying to click it!

What happened our website? Flash is finally dead-dead-dead so something drastic had to be done so people could still watch their favorite cartoons and sbemails with super-compressed mp3 audio and hidden clicky-clicky easter eggs!

The first thing you'll notice is that the landing page when you go to homestarrunner.com is very different. There are now useful things on here! Not just "watch intro!" (but you can still do that here if you want). But once you click "come on in," you'll find yourself in familiar territory thanks to the Ruffle Project. It emulates Flash in such a way that all browsers and devices can finally play our cartoons and even some games.

Next up are the Toons and Sbemail menus! They look mostly the same, but act like modern webpages! Your favorite easter eggs are still hidden and now you can even choose to watch a YouTube version if there is one.

Keep in mind, Ruffle is still in development so not everything works perfectly. Games made after, say 2007, will probably be pretty janky but Ruffle plans on ulitmately supporting those too one day. And any cartoons with video elements in them (Puppet Jams, death metal) will just show you an empy box where the video should be. But hang in there and one day everything will be just like it was that summer when we got free cable somehow and Grandma still lived in the spare bedroom.
