| - | Hello, there! I'm <span style="color: orange;">'''''The Chort'''''</span>! No, I do not look anything like [[The Cheat]], nor do I make a habit of talking like [[Coach Z]]. I'm just another [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] fan, just like you! I was bitten by the H*R bug on Saturday, 30 April, 2005 when I was at a loose end. I had already discovered [[TROGDOR!]] and [[Peasant's Quest]] but for some reason had never bothered to explore the rest of the site. After getting yet another Game Over on TROGDOR!, I decided to conduct a quick search on the Internet for two things. Firstly, I wanted to find some more information about this awesome [[Trogdor]] guy. Secondly, I wanted the secret code hinted at on the secret screen of TROGDOR!. It was a search that would change my life forever. A few clicks later, I was watching [[dragon|SBEmail #58, dragon]]. My first thoughts of the site were something along the lines of "''Okaaay... why is there an [[Strong Bad Email|email show]] presented by some [[Strong Bad|mexican westling guy]] on the Internet?''" So I had a look at the [[FAQ]] to find out what the history and background to the site was, for I was confused and felt lost. There, I learnt that there was this secret game hidden somewhere on the site that was apparently impossible to beat. That's right, it was [[Super Kingio Bros]]. Interested, I did another quick search and ended up instantly addicted to the [[Main Page|HRWiki]]. That night, I lay in my bed, completely unable to sleep, for I knew that I had discovered something truly special that day. Three months later and having watched every toon on the site at least once, on Monday, 25 July, 2005 at nearly 7PM, I finally decided to become a regular editor of this wiki by signing up with a unique and imaginative Username.

I had already discovered [[TROGDOR!]] and [[Peasant's Quest]] but couldn't be bothered to explore the rest of the site.

| | ==About Me== | | ==About Me== |
| - | All you need to know is that I'm young male student who lives in England, (which makes '''[[sb_email 22|this]]''' certain SBEmail very relevant to me). I'm at Uni now, and am supposed to be busy working all the time, not editing some fan wiki about an Internet cartoon featuring dumb animal characters! You'll probably see me drop by every now and then, either checking out all the edits in [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] or maybe proofreading articles for bad grammar, poor spelling, inaccuracy, informality, malfunctioning code and utter nonsense. In addition, whenever anything new is released on the website, I sometimes go through the entire transcript and compare it with the actual toon step by step, so I can add any little details that might be missing. I also discuss articles for deletion and go through the new/unused images, marking any duplicates or those in the wrong format to be deleted. I used to be addicted to cleaning up image summaries (thanks, [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]]!) but simply don't have the time anymore. And if there's ever a problem on the Wiki, I'm willing to contribute to the discussion and suggest possible solutions or compromises. But I usually end up posting crap in the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]]. In closing, if you'd like to see what I've recently got up to on the wiki, [[Special:Contributions/The Chort|click here]] and maybe you'll see something other than the the words "[[HRWiki:Image summary cleanup|Image Summary Cleanup]]" repeated endlessly. | + | All you need to know is that I'm male, a teenager and live in England, (which makes '''[[sb_email 22|this]]''' certain SBEmail very relevant to me). You'll probably find me either hanging round [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]], checking out all the edits, or proofchecking articles for bad grammar, poor spelling, inaccuracy, informality and malfunctioning code. In addition, whenever anything new is released on the website, I'll eventually get round to comparing the transcript with the actual toon so I can add all the little details that may be missing. I also discuss articles for deletion and go through the new/unused images, marking any duplicates or those in the wrong format to be deleted. And if there's ever a problem on the Wiki, I'm willing to contribute to the discussion and suggest possible solutions. But I usually end up messing about in the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]]. And... that's it. The end. |
