Mixer?
The one two mixer should be featured on the main page. After all it was a seperate file.
- I disagree. The mixer is barely anything without the toon; they're also used in the same HTML file. — Lapper (talk) 20:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Nitpicky...
I know this is my OCD talking, but there's a grammar error on the Montage snippet:
"...and then makes a montage featuring the Wagon Fulla Pancakes and The Cheat as unsuccessful door-to-door salesman."
"salesman" should read "salesmen." This is because the WFP and TC are plural, so salesmen should reflect that. I have no idea how to edit that main page, so please, could a sysop do it for me? Thank you.

- Fixed. Thanks a lot. =) If there's one thing worth speaking up about, it's good grammar. --DorianGray 04:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! CoveredinSuudzu 04:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
The System Was Down, Yo
Was it just my computer, or was the wiki down for a couple of hours today? Homestar-Winner (talk) 00:52, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- It was down for a while for everyone. But it's okay now. Everything is fine, nothing is ruined. --DorianGray 01:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Okely dokely do! But what caused the server to go down? Homestar-Winner (talk) 01:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Suspect a script encountered an error and wrote an excessive amount of .tmp files to the /tmp directory and caused it to fill. — It's dot com 01:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- June 4/5, 2007, same thing again? --

- What are you talking about? Obviously the system is not down. — It's dot com 02:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, it was only down like 10 minutes, maybe just on my compy. It had problems with the MySQL server or something. -- Super Martyo boing! 03:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- I don't show any database errors reported by the system during that time. — It's dot com 03:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Podcast
Add a link to Podstar Runner to the Main Page? It would probably fit under "Features". — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 17:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

And I can't try registering again becuase when I do it says someone (me) already has that email address!!!!! Can someone (that's not homestarrunner) help me out here?????? WeirdAl (talk · 13:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC) PS: My email system has NO JUNK FOLDER.

- Nope, it doesn't exist anymore. 76.5.105.107 23:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
june 7th update
i just noticed it's not on the main page
- Right — we typically only list the weeklies (Quote of the Week, Weekly Fanstuff, and Sketchbook) for one week at a time. So, when the June 14 weeklies were added, the June 7 weeklies were removed.

DVD Commentary Transcript Project page?
Has one been created to coordinate the writing of transcripts? It'd be beneficial both to transcribers and to interested readers. - Qermaq - (T/C) 
22:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- I think that's a great idea — I'll try making a mock-up in the sandbox. Trey56 22:36, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, here's an idea of what it could look like, with more sections if there are other DVDs that have untranscribed toons. I borrowed the formatting from HRWiki:Article Cleanup. Trey56 22:57, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Store Links on DVD/Media pages?
Would it be appropriate to link to the H*R Store in articles which cover purchase-only content? As is we link to the official Flash on other content available on the website. I'm thinking a direct link to the Store page where that item being discussed is available would be an asset to the article as well as a means to simplify a fan's quest to purchase the material. - Qermaq - (T/C) 22:30, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree. I've often looked for these, hoping they'd be right at the top of the article. — It's dot com 22:55, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
Saying Jump before jumping
Hi everypeople, I need your help creating a new running gag page. I noticed that in two toons a character mutter jump jumping. In alternate universe Strong Bad does before jumping to the portal and Old Timey Strong Bad before jumping to the root beer. In the paper Strong Bad mutter it before jumping the sinking island to grab The Paper. I'm sure there are at least several other emails like that but I can't seem to find them. Can someone please help? — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 03:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, I think that's it to date. (In alternate universe Strong Bad also does it in the Strong Badman segment, however.) - Qermaq - (T/C)

"rv; TTATOT"
We all see this edit summary from time to time, but I think it isn't really a good idea to write it. Keeping in mind that the edit summary in a revert is partly to let the editor you reverted know why you reverted, using an initialism that isn't all that common is likely to be confusing, especially since most TTATOT edits come from anonnies and new users. Better, in my opinion, would be to say "rv; that could refer to lots of things" or something like that. Heimstern Läufer

- I agree. I don't write it often (usually spelling it out), but the initials aren't helpful. Searching for it will lead to the glossary entry for T, but I doubt many of them who DO see it and become confused think to search it. --DorianGray 19:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- You are able to link TTATOT in your edit summary. —BazookaJoe 19:51, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
