'''@ronginald''' was a [[Social Media|Twitter]] account operated by [[Matt Chapman]] from September 3, 2011 until January 22, 2013.


The account was first noticed by fans when [[Pendleton Ward]] [[File:Matt portrait Pen Ward.jpg|posted a portrait of Matt]] and identified @ronginald as &quot;the voice of [[Strong Bad]]&quot;; though the account had not tweeted at this point, later posts made it clear that it was indeed owned by Matt Chapman.
The account was first noticed by fans when [[Pendleton Ward]] posted a portrait of Matt and identified @ronginald as "the voice of [[Strong Bad]]"; though the account had not tweeted at this point, later posts made it clear that it was indeed owned by Matt Chapman.


At the time, [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] was on [[Hiatuses|an unprecedented hiatus]]: though the site had historically seen weekly updates, [[H*R.com updates 2010|only three new toons were produced in 2010]] and [[H*R.com updates 2011|none were released in 2011]], leaving fans doubtful about [[homestarrunner.com|the site's]] future. In his tweets, Matt reaffirmed that he and [[The Brothers Chaps|his brother]] [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] were not done with Homestar Runner, hinting that it would be updated &quot;sporadically&quot; in the future. He also discussed [[The Brothers Chaps' Side Projects|his then-current projects]], including writing, directing, and acting for ''[[Yo Gabba Gabba!]]'', ''[[Gravity Falls]]'', and ''[[The Aquabats|The Aquabats! Super Show!]]''. Matt also occasionally shared behind-the-scenes information and images from both Homestar Runner and other projects.

#needlesslycryptic

@ronginald was a Twitter account operated by Matt Chapman from September 3, 2011 until January 22, 2013.

The account was first noticed by fans when Pendleton Ward posted a portrait of Matt and identified @ronginald as "the voice of Strong Bad"; though the account had not tweeted at this point, later posts made it clear that it was indeed owned by Matt Chapman.

At the time, Homestar Runner was on an unprecedented hiatus: though the site had historically seen weekly updates, only three new toons were produced in 2010 and none were released in 2011, leaving fans doubtful about the site's future. In his tweets, Matt reaffirmed that he and his brother Mike were not done with Homestar Runner, hinting that it would be updated "sporadically" in the future. He also discussed his then-current projects, including writing, directing, and acting for Yo Gabba Gabba!, Gravity Falls, and The Aquabats! Super Show!. Matt also occasionally shared behind-the-scenes information and images from both Homestar Runner and other projects.

The account was closed on January 22, 2013, which resulted in the deletion of all its tweets.
