Rename

How about renaming this to "No Paper"? OneGyT 02:12, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Nah, "Virtual Paper" is far more descriptive. — Defender1031*Talk 02:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Edit war

Which is better?
comment on picture: Looks like Strong Bad's gone the-paperless!
and in the body: Strong Bad then customized Virtual Paper's pop-up noise to match The Paper's old "Preeeeow" noise, though the sound quality is significantly lower.

or

comment on picture: Preeeeow 3.0, with Preeeeow 1.0 downgrade!
and in the body: Strong Bad then customized Virtual Paper's pop-up noise to match The Paper's old "Preeeeow" noise.

Opinions would be appreciated The Knights Who Say Ni 03:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I like it how it is now. No one ever calls it 3.0, and the downgrade comment is ambiguous. You can't tell at all it's referring to sound quality. -128.103.10.135 03:32, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

The downgrade is referring to the custom sound, and the sound quality is no lower than the rest of the old paper's preeeows. The preeeeow 3.0 refers to preeeow 2.0 when SB got the new paper. — Defender1031*Talk 03:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, well, that just shows that it is indeed ambiguous in meaning.-128.103.10.135 03:50, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, i thought the 3.0 caption was funnier. — Defender1031*Talk 03:51, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

New Paper's sound was called Preeow 2.0, so VP's noise could be called Preeow 3.0. As for "downgrade", it orginally had it's own sound, but Strong Bad changed it to The Paper's Preeow (or Preeow 1.0), therefore, this could be called "Preeow 3.0, with Preeow 1.0 downgrade". I fail to see the ambiguity. That Game Dude 386 21:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I still like the other caption better. -132.183.140.193 21:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but we already have like, a jillion other captions that are direct quotes from their picture's introducary cartoon. Why change it to one of these when we already have a (mildly) unique one already? That Game Dude 386 21:26, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I personally am in support of the downgrade comment. It's funnier and more original than "Looks like Strong Bad's gone the-paperless!" While I'm all for comments that are quotes from the toons, I think we should use a funnier, more original quip if we can. User:Mr Eyeball

Stub?

I think this is about as much info were gonna get about Virtual Paper, so is it safe to remove the "stub" template, or are we gonna leave it on for now? That Game Dude 386 21:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
