Recap

This was originally posted on It's dot com's talk page. He realizes, however, that he will not be able to give this one a good answer for a few days, and doesn't want Kookykman to have to wait that long. Therefore, he is moving the question here to a more public place where anyone can address it.

Can I get a recap (no need to be brief, I have time) of the things that have happened here since the start of December? The wiki seems very different after my short break. o_0 - Kookykman(t)(c)(r) 02:53, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. Probably the most easily summed-up change was The Tale of the Guestbooks. Aside from that, we gained some regularly-editing members and lost others. I'll let It's dot com elaborate, elucidate, expatiate, illustrate, lucubrate, and/or corroborate. —AbdiViklas 06:23, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, I never liked guestbooks anyway. So good riddance, I say! Also, I've noticed the blurry and insanely hard to read letter codes for annonys... Who left? Who came? (I feel like an idiot asking all these questions, when I used to be Mr. In-The-Loop. =P) - Kookykman(t)(c)(r) 20:44, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Among others, Bubsty left. For, like, a year... Others have come. --DorianGray

And the blurry letters, a.k.a. "Captcha," are the upshot of the NSMC event (I believe you were around for that, right?), verifying that anonnys are actually real human beings. —AbdiViklas 01:32, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I was around for NSMC, but these numbers are a little too blurry and twisty, even by usual website twisty and blurry standards. - Kookykman(t)(c)(r) 21:28, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Where's the New Weeklies on the WIki??? February 16, 2006

I was just on the official H*R website and its got new weeklies. The wiki hasn't posted it yet and I don't know how to add it. I thought this site was so we didn't have to go onto the official site to look for updates.

Yes, but we don't have superhuman speed. It usually takes a few minutes for it to update along with the site, and a few hours to finish a new toon's page. - Joshua 00:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Napoleon Dynamite is a Homestar Rip-Off??

I have this theory, that Napoleon Dynamite is a live-action rip-off of the homestar runner universe and characters. I've posted my evidence / conspiracy theory here: http://andrew.hicox.com/?article_id=97 what do you guys think? am I crazy?

I believe that you have several good points in your post, but that would just have to be a major conspiracy. The Brothers Chaps could sue for hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm afraid it's probably just a coincidence. — Lapper (talk) 13:55, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Tell TBC and see what they think about it-- Benol, aka Coach B 14:20, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

The entire post is completely opinionated. While there are good points, like Lapper said, I don't think anyo of it bears any resemblence to Homestar Runner. Seriously ^(Talk) 16:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

nope, its just completely off base.... csours 05:41, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

QOTW

should the quote of the week be attributed to the character who made it, ie bubs? csours 05:43, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism of other wikis

This is notice that vandalism of other wikis in the name of the Homestar Runner Wiki will not be tolerated. Anyone found vandalizing another wiki in our name will be blocked on this wiki for a duration at least as long as if the vandalism had occurred here. — It's dot com 21:00, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I apologize greatly for what I have done in the past, and I accept full responsibility for what I did. It seems that I may have started a trend of wiki-vandalism, And I also apologize greatly for that. Since I trolled before this rule wa made, I kind of have a loophole out of this, but I would not mind spending the time off anyway. Seriously ^(Talk) 21:04, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Look, you do not need to reply to every discussion out there. Sometimes, you can let things just speak for themselves. — It's dot com 21:07, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Just a little question.

Can blocked users still read the wiki? Just wondering.-- Benol, aka Coach B 21:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 21:35, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

They can also patrol edits and fix stuff on their preferences. Seriously ^(Talk) 23:44, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Bit 'o firsthand knowledge, eh? I didn't think of patrolling edits. Thanks Seriously. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 05:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Wow, I didn't know that... that's an interesting "feature" of mediawiki. --Stux 16:06, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Firsthand knowledge. Not a good time in my life. Hehehe...Seriously ^(Talk)

Two great ideas

I have two great ideas.

1. We should list how many frames each toon is. 2. We should have a category for toons and emails with commercials in them.

What do you think? Homfrog 18:13, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't think the number of frames in a toon is really notable. I know of at least one case where it is, and it's noted in the respective article. As for commercials, that's not something we would have a category for. -- Tom 20:52, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

It's also noted in 500 The Cheats, since counting the frames means counting The Cheats. Besides those two special cases, Running Time pretty much covers the burning question - which toon's longer. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 21:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

And regarding #2, I don't think, unless the toon actually is a commercial, it's very useful. But it could be a useful category for such commercials, such as Meet Marshie. ♥ _tee^eff_oh! 21:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

There are lots I can thing of, such as Meet Marshie (as mentioned 'bove), Cheat Commandos...O's, Cheat Commandos, Fluffy Puff Commercial (sort of), and Strong Bad Sings to name a few obivous ones. Add to that there's also several trailers, such as Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer and Peasant's Quest Preview, plus In Search of the Yello Dello Theatrical Trailer. I'm not sure exactly how to sort 'em, I'm just listing. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 21:19, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Error

Anyone else getting this when you hit "watchlist" or "Recent Changes"?

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ',' in /home/hrwiki/public_html/extensions/wfAutoDivide.php on line 19

Because I am. Any clue why? - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

It's been working fine for me. Has it just been happening occasionally, or everytime you try to access those pages? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 21:34, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Each time. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:35, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

What type of browser are you using? ♥ _tee^eff_oh! 21:37, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Opera 8.51, and it worked fine this morning and all along. I tried Firefox, it's fine there. Somehow sometime today Opera isn't liked anymore. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I just experienced some problems, too. Up at the top of the recent changes page was some code or something, but more than what you had, and instead of "line 19" it was like 157 or something around there. It's gone now, but the font is all weird now. Salty^Talk! 00:43, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
