[edit] New Mailing List
Hey, I thought I'd ask before just willy-nilly editing this page, but there's a new email on the Homestar Runner Mailing List, now I would just add it here but the problem is it's not branded as a Deleteheads Download, it's just Homestar Runner (although the email is deleteheads@homestarrunner.com). So should there be a new page for it, or should I just add it to this one? Also if there's a page on this I'm not aware of, please let me know. Thanks!

[edit] Rename?
Now that there are as many "Homestar Runner Updates" emails as there are "The Deleteheads Download" ones, it might be time for a new name. I don't think "Homestar Runner Updates" is a good name for this article, though, as it could get confusing with our existing "H*R.com updates" pages. Perhaps something more generic like "Mailing List" or "Email Newsletter" (since we don't have an article for the pre-2003 emails), along the lines of "Feedburner Page". -- Bleu Ninja

- I'm inclined to suggest we keep the current name. I think the name itself has sufficient recognition and the "From:" address still reads "Homestar Runner <deleteheads@homestarrunner.com>" so it might be okay to keep it as is. I do agree that "Homestar Runner Updates" is too generic and if we do need to change it, I think "Email Newsletter" might be the more appropriate title. --Stux 15:44, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- I agree that "The Deleteheads Download" seems outdated (now that the branding has been relegated to just the email address and a disclaimer at the bottom of the email), and "Homestar Runner Updates" could be confusing (especially since that's already what I've been trying to get the H*R.com articles renamed to). "Mailing List" seems like a good compromise, since it was originally referred to as "The Deleteheads Mailing List". Also, as Bleu Ninja brought up on Discord, it's probably worth tacking fun facts onto the end of each email section, as long as we put a limit on the TOC to prevent it from listing 9 identically-named sections.
