This is sad...

The Wiki is losing its need for editing, it is so sad. 72.150.230.125 19:38, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

What is that supposed to mean.--H*bad 19:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Guess there's not much to do when there isn't a significant update.. —BazookaJoe 20:02, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, there's still things to be perfected. As long as H*R keeps producing cartoons, we'll still have work to do. Thus, the wiki will never lose its need for editing. And when there's not a significant edit, just make minor fixes to pages. After all, I know that we don't all have prefect grammar. :P — Seriously (Talk) 20:09, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
And there's always Sound Effects to add. That one's a perpetual stub. --DorianGray
I think that the sound effects will always be a stub.--H*bad 20:32, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
As long as things are produced, it will be... There's always a new sound effect to add, or an old one you just suddenly notice from re-watching an old toon. --DorianGray

Sound

Is there a way to upload audio on to here?--H*bad 21:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I am not acquainted with one. —BazookaJoe 21:43, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Oh ok.--H*bad 21:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Mike Chapman

Recent rollback

Actually, the last part of my edit summary didn't mean much. I merely reverted it because of its innapropriate language. — Seriously (Talk) 18:50, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

IP change

How does an Ip address change if you don't change computers?--H*bad 20:15, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's your Internet Service Provider that is changing the IP for whatever reason, probably just by random assignments. Generally, you have no control over what your IP is. —BazookaJoe 05:04, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok thanks, that really scared me for a while.--H*bad 05:18, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Sysop nom.

Why haven't we had a sysop nomination in a while?--H*bad 20:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

There hasn't been a need for large-scale nominations in the past year. Back in the day, things were a bit different. The need for sysops was great, and there were many qualified users. The admins of the time decided that nominations would be an appropriate format for deciding sysops. It was a good way for the community to find the cream of the crop. Nowadays, the need for new sysops is not as great. The cream of the crop is now easier to spot out of the crowd. That is why the last two rounds of sysop appointments have been decided by the bureaucrats. —BazookaJoe 20:51, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Is that why. Ok.--H*bad 21:00, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Another question. Why aren't you a beaucrat? Your a great user.--H*bad 14:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
*blush* Thanks. But other people have done so much more than me. And I'm content where I am; bureaucratship isn't my goal. —BazookaJoe 14:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Ok. It just seems to me that your a really great user. Also, since your my favorite sysop of the week, I have to copy you in some way. And do you know something I could copy of yours?--H*bad 14:49, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Then you should copy his good editing style, his strong contributions, his keen eye for problems with the recent changes, and his sharp decision-making skills. (Incidentally, the only extra powers a bureaucrat has is to assign user groups (e.g. make sysops) and rename users. We've pretty much got that covered for a while.) — It's dot com 15:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
And good grammer skills.--H*bad 15:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
You can look through my proudest contributions on my user page for ideas. I'm not saying that writing a transcript is a high honor, though. It is to some, but being able to transcribe something new on the Homestar Runner website is a very rare opporitunity, and I don't try too hard to do so. There are many things that you can do on the site that you don't have to wait for or compete for. DVD transcripts I like writing more, as you can see. However, I think the thing I enjoy doing most is all-around maintenance of the site. Patrolling recent changes, reverting trolls and vandals (which are much more abundant during the summer), perfecting pages mild OCD style, double-checking transcripts (I often call those last two "fix-ups" in my edit summaries). But everybody has different styles. Find something you are good at doing and like doing, and find ways to get it done. —BazookaJoe 15:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Here is a page I made. Please tell me if you like it. Homestar's one line lessons I know that the name is bad, but anyways.--H*Bad 14:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
It looks like a good start. —BazookaJoe 14:25, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Is it indanger of being deleted or close to it?--H*Bad 14:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
It could be. Depends on if you can get enough appearances to convince us that it's a running gag. Then, it's up to the community. —BazookaJoe 14:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I have seen this one that was like just one appearance. Which reminds me to put the stub tag on it.--H*Bad 14:30, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

"Strong" Vandalism?

Hi Joe. Why did you revert my edit on Strong's talk page, where I criticized his behavior? When I see someone create a user account and immediately start vandalizing user pages, I see a troll, and I thought trolls were universally dealt with as such. Am I wrong in thinking that? — Image:kskunk_fstandby.gif KieferSkunk (talk) — 14:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

You should save the debate for my talk page; he doesn't need to see something like that on his talk page. I'm just trying something a little different. Because he says he wants to be blocked, I am not going to, but I want to show him that there are better things to do on this wiki. If it doesn't work out, then, that's that. —BazookaJoe 14:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Eh, personally, I'd just have canned him anyway. Someone who's deliberately vying for that sort of attention doesn't want (or deserve) to be reasoned with. — Image:kskunk_fstandby.gif KieferSkunk (talk) — 14:22, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Maybe so, but there's always that chance that trying will affect his character. —BazookaJoe 14:23, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry

sorry for my vandilism I will contribute from now on but can you give me a intro on this wiki you can leave me a message on my talk page. -- Strong 17:25, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thats all right. Just please don't do it again. And have fun editing this place, which isn't finished. So I know that you can find a lot of things to do on here.--H*Bad 17:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Work

Ha, that sucks. I just posted the same thing too, at the same time you were posting yours. Seya around. Thunderbird 13:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, tonight, when we can come back to fully completed pages and not have to worry about anything. yay? —BazookaJoe 13:03, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


HELP

What is the watchlist for? What do you do with it? Thank You for all your help, -marzipan1

The watchlist is the thing that gives you a listing of when and what pages have been changed. You can choose what pages you would like to watch by pressing on the "watch" button at the top of the page. For example, you can watch my talk page next time you ask a question, and then go to your watchlist to see if I answered it. You can always take a page off your watchlist my pushing the unwatch button at the top of the page. —BazookaJoe 19:28, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Flashforward Intro

Haha, you beat me to the restoration. I just wanted it for the "eight-months-prior-to-release" posterity, but external linkage is just as good a reason as any. Thanks :) Thunderbird 05:53, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Vooooooooooooooooo, thank you for the message. I was getting sad because I wasn't getting any bjmails. —BazookaJoe 05:56, 2 November 2006 (UTC)


Tanks

Thanks for catching my deletion mistake on what I want. - Ilko Skevüld's Teh C 16:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

No probalo. I do what I can. —BazookaJoe 17:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
