link to the fanstuff forum?
Hey the fanstuff wiki is down ... so now there's really no way for people to find the fanstuff forum which is here. Could somebody put a link up somewhere please? --NERD42 email talk h²g² pedia uncyc 20:02, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Uh, you're a bit...behind the times. The fanstuff wiki has been down for two months now. And it looks like you just put a link up... SuperfieldCreditUnion
- Anyway, it's not that hard to type. JCM 22:57, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

They Might Be Giants' Podcast 37A includes 200 SBemails and something called "Crystal Fortress". Would somebody like to add the appropriate details to this wiki? — 141.150.183.221 (Talk | contribs) 06:59, 30 October 2008 (UTC) (left unsigned)

Halloween theme
October is over. Mtp1997
- The Halloween toon only came out a about a day and a half ago, and we still (hopefully) have a costume commentary toon on the way. Last year we didn't go back to normal styles until several days into November. — It's dot com 19:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
I understand. Happy Halloween, and good luck on the fanstuff! Mtp1997
Editing talk posts
- I just wanted to know, is it legal on the wiki to proofread talk pages? Chipwich 01:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- It's typically discouraged to edit other people's comments. Any specific reason? --DorianGray 05:50, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
- To make it easier for other people to reads thems. Chipwich 01:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
- Why don't you point out something that you'd edit if you could. With very few exceptions, it's not allowed. — It's dot com 02:58, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Store Stuff
Uh, the store changed the SB patch to bumper stickers. Strongking

Dangeresque Puppet Stuff
Excuse me but, Dangeresque Puppet Stuff just came out, so yeah...might wanna chek dat out.
- Good find! But the stairs to the toon have been burned down by termites. So it looks like I'm gonna have to jump! Homestar-Winner (talk) 00:33, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
We're also gonna have to create a(n external) link for it on the Main Page!! Not Dennis 13:55, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Senor Mort-gage!
November 13th podcast
Someone want to update the mainpage to reflect the release of the podcast? I already updated the podcast page itself, but I don't have permission to modify the front page, apparently. --Flytape8490 20:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- Just updated the more updates page. The front-page still needs it though. --Flytape8490 20:56, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- You edit the news box by selecting "view source", then scroll down, then click "Template:whatsnew". Edit the template the way you would any page. Don't forget to add the article of the email to the Podstar Runner category, and add a download link and the Podcast summary to the article as well.
BBG 20:58, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- Just added the download link and category to the magic trick page. Where do I stick the summary in the article?--Flytape8490 21:08, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- There's also a pixelghost sale. Do we track sales? I don't remember.--Flytape8490 21:15, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- Stick the summary in the Trivia section. Sales are worth noting in the whatsnew box. BBG 22:26, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Sbemail DVD 6
Don't forget 'bout the new Sbemail dvd. I mean, it's up there...on the site. Or do you all just know about that already? Or am I just wasting yur thyme? --NOT DENNIS 20:14, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- And there's a new Thnikkaman T-shirt! =]

WHAAAAAAAAT?
On the updates page, it says (correctly) that Twenty THANXty Six is a holiday toon. On the actual Main Page, however, it says that its a short. Edit, anyone? Strongkinghomsarsmith 01:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- Both are correct. The toon is both a holiday toon, as it has to do with Thanksgiving, and it is also a short, as it is only 2 minutes and 14 seconds long. Though the toon is listed under the Holiday Toons category, saying the toon is either one makes sense, right? Homestar-Winner (talk) 02:09, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- However, H*W, what about the site itself? Tis not listed under shorts. Though it is older than crap, KOT DVD is shorter than it, and yet it is still categorized as a big toon. Strongking
homsarsmith 02:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- The only reason this thing is under "short" is because the main page message button says that it's a "new short!" So, really, only one little speck in the H*R universe is classifying it as a short. I say we put it under as a Holiday Toon. --70.253.165.204 02:21, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- I changed it so it said on the Main Page that it was both a holiday toon and a short. Is that better? Homestar-Winner (talk) 02:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- Brilliant! :P --70.253.165.204 03:10, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

No More Emails
So I was listening to the commentary on sbemail 200 and TBC (specifically Matt) said that no more sbemails will be made. He said it in sort of a joking manner but I don't know, they haven't made one in over 2 months. I guess we'll see. inunaota4a
- I guess we will. This marks the tenth email that people have seriously considered might be the last (after vacation, 50 emails, comic, flashback, virus, rock opera, alternate universe, retirement, and the paper). — It's dot com 01:55, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well "people have seriously considered" is a pretty vague statement as it depends on who those people are. The wider wiki community has never seriously considered this so far - at least not to my knowledge. And I'm sure we won't either this time. Loafing
02:06, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps you should have a look at our forum. There have been many occasions where people have said Strong Bad Emails were probably over, and meant it. — It's dot com 02:30, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Admittedly, I am a bit ignorant when it comes to the forum. Are there actually enough active wiki editors active in the forum to call these threads expressions of the "wider wiki community"? There is only one name I recognise in that first thread, for example, and she didn't think it's the end. But yeah, there seem to be groups of people who expect/expected sbemails to end, I give you that :-) Loafing 12:34, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Nevertheless, we do not assume that there will be no more Strong Bad Emails until TBC speak out in an interview and say, "Yeah, we've decided to move on to do other projects on the site." They have just released the first of (hopefully) many Dangeresque Roomisodes. – The Chort 19:57, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

MIKE: De-butt. And the umpire, too. Who, uh...
{Matt laughs}
MATT: Who we forgot to make that Easter egg! We were going to put the Umpire in an Easter egg in the last email we made.
MIKE: You'll never hear from him again now! That was his one chance!
- That commentary was done a while ago, before email 200 came out. And by "the last email" they meant the most recent one at the time. Homestar-Winner (talk) 21:30, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- Right, "last email we made" does not mean "last email we're gonna make". — Defender1031*Talk 21:46, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Shrinking Text
Is there any way I can make some text in my User Page smaller? Some words in one of the sections drift offscreen. 
BBG 04:20, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- Try <small>(insert text here)</small> around the text you want smaller. Like this! — Acam30

homestar's speech impediments...
I think we should transcribe his speech impediments. The imitated voice shows the impediments, yet what the real stupid no-arms says looks like he's speaking normally. So we're going ta wanna replace "Homestar" with "Homestaw". Replace the "er" sounds with "ow". I think this MUST happen... I hope... Other than that this "UK English" thing is getting freakin' out of style! Down with UK English, up with transcribing Homestar's speech impediments at his speaking parts! I hope I touched you all. --The 386 My talk 00:54, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
