Video Stats?
Should we take stats on a weekly basis? Just list all the awards (for the video and the account, views, and rating, and number of comments?
Sort of like this:Video Statistics

Hmmm, I don't think we should update this every week. Or even put it in the article. If it's ever the most viewed video, then that would definitely be worth a mention. Otherwise, it'd be too detailed. Loafing

homestarrunnerdotcom
LTWFTW just dropping by to inform you guys that there's an official Homestar Runner Youtube account now: http://www.youtube.com/user/homestarrunnerdotcom The reason I'm assuming it's official is because other Homestar cartoons contain a notice stating the video contains content belonging to that account, and it also has DVD-quality versions of the episodes. I put something up on the page for it, but I don't know any of this crazy editing stuff you guys do so I'll just let you all figure it out. 68.192.238.57 05:49, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- I don't see anything to suggest that that channel is official... sure, they got the name, but anyone could register that name. Anyone who's bought the DVDs would be able to upload DVD quality clips, and there's nothing forcing them to mention in the descriptions that they're not the creators. Really, unless we hear something from TBC themselves (say if they link to it on the website or something) then there's not much reason to think that it's official as yet... --phlip TC 06:03, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- The plot thickens... as of September 2nd, a video for independent has been posted on the homestarrunnerdotcom YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjwlrvcKcfI - and it's edited to DVD-style format. Remarkably, the exchange about the monitor wallpaper with the Cheat has been removed, and it has a completely different closing, with the Compé-per displaying "the end." along with the virtual The Paper sound. --Kyojikasshu 02:17, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- I would suggest that with the latest posting, the account is at least semi-official. wbwolf (t | ed) 03:54, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- I would have disagreed and called it official, because how, and who, could/would we get something like this leaked online? I mean, this is Homestar Runner. But, we have a few things that have changed from the original toon that make no sense to why they were changed. —Soiled Bargains (talk|ctrb) 04:20, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I agree... I think this can definitely be called at least tentatively official now... certainly enough to start treating it as official and linking to it on articles. I'd personally hold back on calling it absolutely confirmed until the next DVD comes out and we can compare this YouTube clip with the DVD version of independent... but I think we have enough confirmation to start linking to the videos. --phlip TC 04:27, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

- Discussion moved from Talk:Main Page
I noticed that Youtube links have been appearing on various Strong Bad Emails. Do we now know that it is TBC? 
That'sBupkis! 11:58, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- There's discussion on that [here]. The consensus there is (so far as I can tell) "likely, but not certain". I do think adding links is a shade preemptive, though... --Belthazar 12:03, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, with the release of the edited independent video, there's only three possibilities I can think of... (1) The channel is run by TBC, (2) The channel is run by a fan who can do a really good Strong Bad impression and has decent video editing skills, (3) TBC have released this edited version elsewhere, and a fan has re-uploaded it to YouTube... but noone on the wiki has seen the original. Both options 2 and 3 seem unlikely... 2 will be ruled out eventually if the next sbemail DVD comes out and independent is edited the same as, or at least similarly to, this video. Really, we can't say we're sure until if/when we hear it from TBC, over a medium we know they have control of (like the site, or a DVD commentary or something), but I think it's likely enough now to start linking to it. --phlip TC 12:29, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- Also, if the altered ending of independent wasn't enüff prüf, I'd like to point out that the YouTube versions of independent and Donut Unto Others have significantly better sound quality than those on the site. As far as I know, it would be impossible for a fan to access the original full-quality sound files of those toons, even with a decompiler. Omnisweater. 16:07, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- Wait, Omnisweater, you should use extlinks. I'll add something to the template. —Soiled Bargains (talk|ctrb) 18:17, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, I just noticed this discussion. I had only seen Talk:YouTube#homestarrunnerdotcom until now. Sorry Omnisweater, it was my impression this matter was still unresolved. (I think these two discussions should be merged into one.) Anywho, I also agree that a template like {{extlinks}} should be used for linking. Nevertheless, I'd personally rather wait till the toon in question comes out on DVD before we can call this myth "confirmed". Although, if used in a template, the template can just be modified to show nothing if it turns out to be some kind of hoax. --Stux 18:27, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- But even if TBC put the website version of independent on the DVD, would that really be enough to call it a hoax? There would still be the matter of the perfect editing, voice acting, and above all, sound quality (I'm pretty sure there's no way to fake that. Correct me if I'm wrong though). To me, the YouTube version of independent seems like an earlier version, and if that's true, it's unlikely that TBC will use it on the DVD. Omnisweater. 18:40, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- I can unequivocally state that the homestarrunnerdotcom YouTube channel is indeed under TBC's control. We should feel free to link to it as appropriate. — It's dot com 22:24, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- That's awesome. Did you contact TBC or something, or are you just making this conclusion based on the evidence we already have? Omnisweater. 22:40, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
