• On Halloween 2005, Mibluvr13 put together a virtual birthday card for Matt Chapman's 29th birthday with the signatures from various HRWiki Knowledge Base and Forum users. (View forum thread) Matt Chapman received the card and emailed her the following reply.

Thanks Chrissy and the rest of you! You guys rule. That card is awesome. And so is the wiki and all the hard work you folks put into it. We use it all the time when we can't remember stuff from our cartoons.

High fives all the times,
