Hey

'Sup? I'm Homsarroks. I thought that it would be cool to stop by and say hi.--ΨHomsarΨroksΨ 19:26, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

hi there

Hi teh thing. I hope you dont mind, but I removed the extra line in your sig. It doesnt make a difference, but now #'d lists wont have to start over (like your guestbook, STUFF, etc.). — _talk Bubsty _edits 21:42, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

And when you type in your sig, there's no need to put in the two hyphens or a piped copy of your name. Both of those are already in your sig (There's a dash in your sig template, and displaying your name is the whole pointy of a sig, so it already there too.) and are therefore needless typing! (Who wants to do more typing than they have to?) A quick shortcut to place your sig template on a page is to type three tildes (these guys "~"), and four to do the same but put a timestamp with it. But I'm sure you knew that already. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ @ 20:47, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Glitches

Hey The thing, I noticed on your user page you wanted a link for glitches. Is this what you were intending to link to? --Stux 17:32, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Guestbook

YOU COMPLETELY COPIED MY GUESTBOOK!!!! WITH THE "IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED" AND THE "USE THE# FORMAT!!!!!!-- Benol, aka Coach B 04:01, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Uh... A lot of people have that on their guestbooks. I wouldn't get all mad. Remember who gave him a virus? :-) — _talk Bubsty _edits 16:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

I DID NOT GIVE HIM A VIRUS!!!!!! MOST ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE SAYS MORE THAN 3 POPUPS AT A TIME IS A VIRUS!!!! AND HE COPIED MY GUESTBOOK EXACTLY!!!!-- Benol, aka Coach B 16:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

I DIDN't put that "please sign! it would be appreciatated" someones else did I gues. TheThingé 22:40, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Car Hit Tree

Did you make that car hit tree in animation shop? NBBB(Talk · Contributions) 20:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Looks kinda like a flash animation if you ask me. — _talk Bubsty _edits 20:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I made it with animation shop. I have a lot more. I'll put them on my site.TheThingé 21:06, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Maybe but I have the same programe and now on my User Page I have an animation from that program and they look alot alike! NBBB(Talk · Contributions) 20:58, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Woah, they looks awesome. That pink guy rules. — _talk Bubsty _edits 21:01, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

YOU HAVE A SITE?! You should link to it from your User Page I would love to see it! NBBB(Talk · Contributions) 21:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I have one but... It's not on the internet yet. :( TheThingéUser:The thing/sig2User:The thing/sig1

spelling

on your sb_email blockquote, you spelled Christmas wrong. Thekillerdynamo 21:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I fixed it.TheThingé 21:26, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

You also mispelt "Goosebumps" as "Goosebumbs". – The Chort 17:19, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

No! TheThingé 21:23, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

personal images

Hi there the thing. I hate to tell you this, but users are only allowed two personal images on their userpage. Currently, you have four. Choose the two you wish to delete, then, on the images page, write {{delete|unused personal image}}. Thanks! — _talk Bubsty _edits 17:29, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of that. I put up the {{delete}} template on the two you weren't using. — _talk Bubsty _edits 22:15, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

sig

Does anyone know how to fix the <pre> in my sig? TheThingé 14:42, 28 December 2005 (UTC) See!

Fixed. Closed your small tag. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 14:45, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!TheThingé 15:38, 28 December 2005 (UTC) Yay!

My sig

Wich sig do you like better? TheThingé, User:The thing/sig2, or User:The thing/sig1 15:47, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey The thing. You need to pick one of those signatures and put it on "User:The thing/sig", and then mark the other two for deletion. HRWiki:User space states that we aren't supposed to have frivolous subpages. Thanks. — It's dot com 15:59, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

For the record, I like your last sig there the best. I'm of the school of thought that people know how to get to talk pages and user contrib.s and the like, and it's better to make them click one extra time than to take up unnecessary space with a Death Star of a sig. The last one's catchy, compact, and looks good. —AbdiViklas 20:39, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism?

I'm afraid I don't understand your intentions. Why are you willingly defacing those pages? — It's dot com 00:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

I really don't know. I was just kinda being stupid. I blocked myself.TheThingé 01:08, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Except for the small problem that you can't block yourself. Only sysops can block people. — _talk Bubsty _edits 01:12, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

O .TheThingé 01:13, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Although sysops can block themselves... Which is interesting. --DorianGray

We can also unblock ourselves. Go figure. — It's dot com 01:28, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

I also did somthing else. TheThingé 01:22, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

What? — _talk Bubsty _edits 01:25, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

On someones WELCOME thing after it I just put no.TheThingé 01:27, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Don't do that. Acting like a vandal, even if you don't really mean it, is still vandalism, and could get you blocked for real. — It's dot com 01:30, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

I know.TheThingé 01:30, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

EDIT CONFLICT I reverted the "no". And... listen to Dot com. 'Tis good advice. — _talk Bubsty _edits 01:31, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Edit Conflict Part Deux: Can I ask you a question, The Thing? Are you *trying* to get yourself blocked? If you don't want to be blocked and listed as a troll, vandal, whatever, don't troll or vandalize the wiki! It's that simple. :P —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 01:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

I know but I was being very weird because my family was over and everything so I was kinda of.TheThingé 20:48, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Ooh!

Cool, an easter egg that links to me. — _talk Bubsty _edits 23:40, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh yeah, and thanks for putting me on your cool people list. — _talk Bubsty _edits 23:41, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

quetions

Sorry the thing, but your "Quetions" sub-page is not allowed. Same with your test one, although I think you know that. You can see what is allowed here. — _talk Bubsty _edits 23:58, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Click Here!

Where does that "click here" link take me to? It doesn't show an HTML address and I'm scared to find out. -Marth 99

It doesn't go anywhere. Look at the edit page and look.TheThingé 20:52, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Cool! How'd you get that hand thing to appear over the letters like that? That is so cool! -Marth 99

Once again look at the edit page or I'll just tell you.

<span style="cursor:pointer;">font color=blue><u>Click Here</u></font></span>

TheThingé 20:58, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Ooh, smart. — _talk Bubsty _edits 21:16, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

guestbook sub-page

Thanks for the idea. Although I was thinking of doing that, I wasn't sure anyone would like it much. But I did make it, right here! — _talk Bubsty _edits 21:35, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry about the bad word i put in the Crap page my cousin did that.TheThingé 22:11, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

welcoming

Hi The thing, thanks for joining the welcoming committee! I noticed you thought I "deleted" your welcome message. Actully, I substituted it.

A quick tip: Instead of welcoming someone by writing {{User:The thing/Welcome}}, try writing {{subst:User:The thing/Welcome|paremeters}}

It looks excactly the same, but this way, people won't accidently edit the template. (Like I accidently did to some of them in the past...). Try it out! — _talk Bubsty _edits 23:10, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

binary

To find out what it says click edit. on talk page or user page.

Already did. — _talk Bubsty _edits 17:55, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Elbow lickage

Hey, in response to your fun facts- i actually have 2 friends who can actually lick their elbows! crazy, huh? (As I write this, my brother, Bubsty, is sitting here doing his math homework trying extremely hard to lick his elbow. Careful, there.) Thekillerdynamo 04:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I also know someone who can lick their elbow!TheThingé 20:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

So far all I've managed to do is trip over my math binder while trying. — _talk Bubsty _edits 00:02, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Wiki

YOU COPIED MY TAMPO/WIKI PAGE EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!! YOU EVEN COPIED THE LINKS!!!!!!!! Tampo (^T/C)

It doesn't matter because that kind of subpage is not allowed. See our subpage guidelines. — It's dot com 01:05, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Hey the thing! This is — Bubyman ^{Lets chat}. This is all I'm typing for now.

Sysop

I'm a sysop because Tom looked deep into the magic 8 ball and it said "Signs point to yes. " - Dr Haggis - Talk 05:13, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

bye

Bye The thing! I hope you have a great time while I'm gone... — _talk Bubsty _edits 01:08, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Validation committee

Hi there The thing. I noticed you joined the validation committee, but your own user page has many validation errors. You might want to start there. Thanks. -- Tom 22:21, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

132 errors. That's why I'll never join the commitee. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 00:46, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Welcoming

Why did you welcome Wesleycharles after I just did? — DBK! 00:30, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

While I was working on welcoming Wesleycharles You welcomed him, and somthing went wrong and it welcomed twice.TheThingé 00:34, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I understand. Well now Wesleycharles probably feels very loved. — DBK! 00:35, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Welcome template

While you're personalized welcome template is fine, the datestamp is a bit outdated. Perhaps taking out the datestamp altogether would be a bit simpler? Also, if you type {{subst:User:The thing/Welcome}} instead, it will save a static version of the welcome template to their page. Then that's what they'll see when they edit, instead of just a one line template. The other thing you could try (to fix the datestamp issue) would be to take out your datestamp and sig, and just sign your template:

{{subst:User:The thing/Welcome}}~~~~

It's up to you how you want to fix it, but in any case it should be "subst'd", to leave behind a full version. I'm sure you can also come up with some kind of solution to clean it up a bit. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:02, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey, thanks for signing my guestbook. If you want, put your favorite Sbemail under the Sbemail section of my User page. Thanks again! Bluebry muffin 14:34, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey! sorry about being late on that. Didn't really know. It's fixed. Check it out! Bluebry muffin 14:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

User:The thing/Bye

Put User:The thing/Bye on your plain ol' user page please. You don't need subpages for that. —BazookaJoe 19:42, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Can I have a subpage for it?TheThingé 19:43, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

No. —BazookaJoe 19:44, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

OKTheThingé 19:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Signature

Just a heads up, that today we implemented our new signature standards. Below is your current signature, with the blue box being the maximum length allowed. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out some way of shrinking your signature a bit to fit inside. Thanks alot, ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 00:41, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

The Thing _{We need to talk.}

TheThingé

I fixed it.TheThingé 00:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Still not fixed. TheThingé

Almost.TheThingé

Can this be good enough? TheThingé 00:50, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Would you be okay with the one I put above the box? That one's probably close enough. If you don't mind it, then just copy the code into your own signature. I hate to be so nitpicky, but especially in things like the STUFF tables, one sig going over sets the bar. I'm sure you can understand. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:06, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Yea I like the way you did better.TheThingé 01:15, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Then would you like me to change your sig to that? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:04, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Subpages

Hey, The thing. I noticed that you have a lot of subpages that you don't really need. I am going to help you clean these up. We are going to follow the policy in HRWiki:User space.

• User:The thing/Bye

A redirect to User talk:The thing/Welcome. Nothing links here. This one will be deleted.

• User:The thing/Guestbook

A manually maintained duplicate of the guestbook on your user page. It's only linked through an Easter egg in your own signature. This one does not fit the policy. It will be deleted. Please remove the link from your user page.

• User:The thing/Holiday sigs

This is unnecessary because you keep the code for the signatures right on your user page. Please unlink this page.

• User:The thing/Pictures

Links to 3 pictures. They got deleted. This subpage is not linked to from anywhere. It will be deleted.

• User:The thing/Welcome

You may keep this.

• User:The thing/Whatever

This is some type of signature. If you would like to keep it, please move the code to your user page. Not linked to from anywhere. Will be deleted.

• User:The thing/emails

This seems to be a talk archive. Except you have all of this on your talk page. This isn't linked to from anywhere, and will be deleted.

• User:The thing/funny

Policy does not allow this. Please unlink this from your user page. You can use this similar link instead.

• User:The thing/sig

You may keep this.

• User:The thing/sig1

You may keep this for now.

• User:The thing/sig2

You may keep this for now.

• User talk:The thing/Guestbook

The raw signatures of all who signed your guestbook. I find this to be overusing the privelege of subpages. No pages link to it. It should be deleted.

• User talk:The thing/Welcome

The good-bye for Bubsty. Not subpage worthy. Please copy it and put it somewhere. It can be on your user page if you like. This will be deleted. Please remove or change the two links to this that are on your user page.

• User talk:The thing/Whatever

Other users protesting the existence of User:The thing/Whatever. This will be deleted.

• User talk:The thing/sig

Code for another signature. Please copy the code to your user page if you would like to keep it. This will be deleted.

• User talk:The thing/sig2

This will be deleted.

Thanks for understanding, BazookaJoe 02:40, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Poll

Hey, thanks for voting in my poll! Unluckily, you broke the rules. Umm, you added characters. Actually, I will keep Trogdor, but not his 20X6 counterpart. I'm very sorry. I will delete Trogador, and you may vote for someone else. I'm still so sorry. --Bluebry muffin 03:45, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Recent Changes Patrol

Hey, do they tell you when recent changes occur, or do you just have to look around. (I asked you this because I saw your name on the Recent Changes Patrol) Bluebry muffin 05:12, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

A red exclamation mark on Recent Changes is an unpatrolled edit. Click on (diff) to view the edit and patrol it. There aren't any on RC right now, because someone has patrolled them. —FireBird|Talk 05:17, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

1 (diff)?

2 Is it worth it?

Bluebry muffin 13:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

1. Yes, (diff). It is the first link beside any bullet on Recent Changes.

2. That's up to you.

—FireBird|Talk 21:01, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Personal Images

The thing, you currently have four personal images (Image:Bowling.gif, Image:car.gif, Image:Cuddle.gif, and Image:edoller.PNG). You may only have two large images and one small image for your signature (you already have one for your signature, Image:Eggseaster.PNG). Please mark two of the four large images to be deleted. Thanks. —FireBird|Talk 21:01, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

May I just ask why I'm on your cool person list and why I'm cool person of the week? — DBK! 20:56, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I rely don't know. TheThingé

Is it just because I have a cool person list and you wanted to be on it? — DBK! 21:17, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

No TheThingé 21:19, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, just clearing things up. — DBK! 21:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
