During my wandering through the internet, I went to my YouTube page, and saw that &quot;sportsinterviewa,&quot; who uploaded the secret Strong Bad Gameways video, had uploaded a video, titled &quot;Coach Z pukes in dude's toupee.&quot; As I got ready to watch it, it told me the video was removed, and now, there is no evidence of it ever existing, except for me as a witness. I was wondering if anyone else had seen it, and if it should be added to the updates page. I'll post a picture in a few minutes. ([[User:Rct2guy|rct2guy]])

I saw it too...The scene is kinda like in [[senior prom]], and its a 19 second video showing the Coach eating some food, then puking into Senor cardgage's combover, which appears to be a toupee. Coach Z puts it on at the end. I don't have audio, however. It has the appearance of being filmed on a TV with a video camera.

Looking at the video comments, it appears that the new sbemail is out, named [[videography]].  Apparently, the video is a link from an easter egg; clicking on the phrase "internet gold" brings you here. -[/wiki/Special:Contributions/24.218.122.7 24.218.122.7] 01:40, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

The icon would only show up in the navbar if they showed up next to links for you normally... in your inferior obsolete browser, DG, it'd just say "watch" without an icon. The question here is whether we want a watch link that goes to a YouTube video in the navbar. Personally, I could get behind it for things like [[Sample of Style]] and [[Sample of Style Too]], but I'm not really sure either way for videos where there's already a link to the H*R site... having two links to the same thing on different sites in the navbar is probably overkill...

Where the YouTube video is the only link available, it would be appropriate. Otherwise, we should just stick with the link to H*R.com. The YouTube link as well as the direct link to the SWF file are easy enough to find in the External Links section. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:33, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, since my test worked, would it be wise to use Animated PNGs in the future? They may be big in size, but they retain the 32-bit color scheme and partial color transparency as some of you may saw with my RyukiAnim.png file. For those of you who are wary of this, you can check out [http://i33.tinypic.com/6rj5ox.png this image] and see if your browser supports APNGs; if the circle is animated, then your browser supports APNGs (and yes, links, a terminal browser, even supports APNGs.)

I don't think any animation-[[Type|type]]-image-formats other than GIF will be used here for a ''long'' time. APNG or [[Multiple-image Network Graphics|MNG]] isn't fully supported, not to mention these are two different &quot;rivaling&quot; formats (possible format war?). Besides, we don't use animated images like crazy '[[boring (really)|round her]] so much that this would be a necessary discussion.

MNG has been around for 11 years, and is too complicated for everyday/average person use. APNG was made to simplify that. Please start a forum topic for future discussion though, as this can get long. I used flash to make the animation first, then export it as a PNG Sequence, then use APNG Anime Maker.

I think this decision shouldn't be made right now. As I said, APNG/MNG isn't as much of a universally supported format as GIF. I say we wait until one of these formats begin to see better support in operating systems/web browsers. Until then, I see no problem with using GIFs, despite their limitations. <span style="whitespace:nowrap;">—'''[[User:Soiled Bargains|Soiled Bargains]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Soiled Bargains|talk]]|[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Soiled_Bargains ctrb])</sup></span> 22:09, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

For the time being, it's a solid no. Based on our Web stats, at least a third of our users (measured by hits) still use a browser in which APNGs are [[APNG|not supported]]. Our animation needs are so limited and infrequent that GIFs are still just fine. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to bring up [[HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 31|this discussion]] again. In reply to [[User:Phlip|Phlip]], getting something from Flash to SVG may not be as hard as you'd think. From what I've heard about the Mac-only Flash decompiler [http://www.futurecandy.net/ Gordon], any symbol can be exported to PDF. From there, that PDF can be put into Inkscape, which would create an exact copy of said symbol. For an entire scene, I suppose this could work as well, except making sure the viewport (right term?) matches the original could be a hassle. So, it can be done just for US$60 and a Mac! <span class="small">Now, if I would just buy the thing (Gordon)...</span> <span style="whitespace:nowrap;">—'''[[User:Soiled Bargains|Soiled Bargains]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Soiled Bargains|talk]]|[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Soiled_Bargains ctrb])</sup></span> 21:47, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

It always increases. Did it increase more than usual? Hard to say. We've had a minor spam issue the last month or two - starting a little before TBC &quot;advertised&quot; us - so not all of the users from the last few months are legit. Plus, a number of users made user names but haven't made any contributions through them yet. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] [[User talk:Jay|(Gobble)]] 01:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

I doubt it, given that there have been very few updates lately, and that the Wiki has been edited about 70 times a day on average lately (on the 17th of January, it was only edited 27 times!). Compare that to Wikipedia, which is edited, I think, about an average of 100,000 edits a day. [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] 10:54, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, but Wikipedia is '''the''' wiki, and this here is "just" '''a''' wiki.

I just wanted to pop on and mention my dislike of mentions within articles of the contributions used by TBC and attributing them to users who sent them in. First, if it was not a wiki user it would not be notable. Therefore it should not be notable if it is. Second, they are commenting on fan items but we are not documenting the fans, we are documenting TBC.

I've never sent anything in, but if I did, I'd kind of hope that TBC would feature it and I could be in an article. I know we love to take ourselves super seriously, but when it comes down to it we're a fan-run knowledge base about an Internet cartoon. I really don't have a problem acknowledging those fans (with sufficient evidence) when relevant. As a wiki user, it is interesting to me when other wiki users have a [[montage|direct influence]] on the course of the body of work. As that example shows, the horse left the barn at least five years ago, and there's really no point in shutting the door now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:36, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Templating the weeklies?

While I've been working on the table heads, as well as the whitespace, on the archive pages for the Sketchbook and Weekly Fanstuff, I've thought about turning these pages into a bunch of templates! I was thinking we could make a template for the:

  • Top of each archive page, so that they wouldn't need to be updated one by one (if we ever need to).
  • Table heads, so that they wouldn't need to be updated one by one.
  • Items in the table, so that there's less to type compared to our conventional method.

What do you think? —Soiled Bargains (talk|[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Soiled_Bargains ctrb]) 17:54, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Coach Z pukes in dude's toupee

During my wandering through the internet, I went to my YouTube page, and saw that "sportsinterviewa," who uploaded the secret Strong Bad Gameways video, had uploaded a video, titled "Coach Z pukes in dude's toupee." As I got ready to watch it, it told me the video was removed, and now, there is no evidence of it ever existing, except for me as a witness. I was wondering if anyone else had seen it, and if it should be added to the updates page. I'll post a picture in a few minutes. (rct2guy)

it's back up --Neumannz 01:19, 6 October 2009 (UTC) Oh, ok then. Well, don't forget to add it to the front page. Though, I guess it's just a sneek preview of tomorrow's sbemail. But, be sure to make a note of it somewhere! :P (rct2guy 01:29, 6 October 2009 (UTC)) I saw it too...The scene is kinda like in senior prom, and its a 19 second video showing the Coach eating some food, then puking into Senor cardgage's combover, which appears to be a toupee. Coach Z puts it on at the end. I don't have audio, however. It has the appearance of being filmed on a TV with a video camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z-C8NU3SVM&feature=channel_page -[/wiki/Special:Contributions/24.218.122.7 24.218.122.7] 01:29, 6 October 2009 (UTC) Well, it looks like the article is currently being worked on, so I guess this really doesn't mean anything anymore. :P rct2guy 01:37, 6 October 2009 (UTC) Looking at the video comments, it appears that the new sbemail is out, named videography. Apparently, the video is a link from an easter egg; clicking on the phrase "internet gold" brings you here. -[/wiki/Special:Contributions/24.218.122.7 24.218.122.7] 01:40, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Change the navs?

I just had an idea that maybe we can change the navigational systems on each page to display navd.png to the right of the navs with toons that have a YouTube video. What do you guys think? —MichaelXX2 http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User_talk:MichaelXX2 http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Contributions/MichaelXX2 21:26, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Heck no at all. I don't have favicons under normal circumstances, and I sure don't want forced ones. They're silly. --DorianGray 21:38, 13 October 2009 (UTC) The icon would only show up in the navbar if they showed up next to links for you normally... in your inferior obsolete browser, DG, it'd just say "watch" without an icon. The question here is whether we want a watch link that goes to a YouTube video in the navbar. Personally, I could get behind it for things like Sample of Style and Sample of Style Too, but I'm not really sure either way for videos where there's already a link to the H*R site... having two links to the same thing on different sites in the navbar is probably overkill... phlip T[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Phlip C] 21:55, 13 October 2009 (UTC) Where the YouTube video is the only link available, it would be appropriate. Otherwise, we should just stick with the link to H*R.com. The YouTube link as well as the direct link to the SWF file are easy enough to find in the External Links section. — It's dot com 22:33, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Animated PNGs?

Well, since my test worked, would it be wise to use Animated PNGs in the future? They may be big in size, but they retain the 32-bit color scheme and partial color transparency as some of you may saw with my RyukiAnim.png file. For those of you who are wary of this, you can check out this image and see if your browser supports APNGs; if the circle is animated, then your browser supports APNGs (and yes, links, a terminal browser, even supports APNGs.) 18px-Nohito.PNG ColdReactive 13:36, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't think any animation-type-image-formats other than GIF will be used here for a long time. APNG or MNG isn't fully supported, not to mention these are two different "rivaling" formats (possible format war?). Besides, we don't use animated images like crazy 'round her so much that this would be a necessary discussion. By the way, what do you use to create APNGs? —Soiled Bargains (talk|[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Soiled_Bargains ctrb]) 20:42, 14 October 2009 (UTC) MNG has been around for 11 years, and is too complicated for everyday/average person use. APNG was made to simplify that. Please start a forum topic for future discussion though, as this can get long. I used flash to make the animation first, then export it as a PNG Sequence, then use APNG Anime Maker. 18px-Nohito.PNG ColdReactive 21:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC) Forum topic for what? — It's dot com 21:21, 14 October 2009 (UTC) This discussion. I don't think that's needed; this wiki's had some pretty long discussions in the past. —Soiled Bargains (talk|[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Soiled_Bargains ctrb]) 21:30, 14 October 2009 (UTC) And? Sometimes we have long discussions. This isn't a question for the forum. — It's dot com 00:41, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Back on track, what do other people think? (This includes you mister of com.) 18px-Nohito.PNG ColdReactive 14:34, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

I think this decision shouldn't be made right now. As I said, APNG/MNG isn't as much of a universally supported format as GIF. I say we wait until one of these formats begin to see better support in operating systems/web browsers. Until then, I see no problem with using GIFs, despite their limitations. —Soiled Bargains (talk|[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Soiled_Bargains ctrb]) 22:09, 18 October 2009 (UTC) For the time being, it's a solid no. Based on our Web stats, at least a third of our users (measured by hits) still use a browser in which APNGs are not supported. Our animation needs are so limited and infrequent that GIFs are still just fine. — It's dot com 03:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

SVGs...again!

I'd like to bring up this discussion again. In reply to Phlip, getting something from Flash to SVG may not be as hard as you'd think. From what I've heard about the Mac-only Flash decompiler Gordon, any symbol can be exported to PDF. From there, that PDF can be put into Inkscape, which would create an exact copy of said symbol. For an entire scene, I suppose this could work as well, except making sure the viewport (right term?) matches the original could be a hassle. So, it can be done just for US$60 and a Mac! Now, if I would just buy the thing (Gordon)... —Soiled Bargains (talk|[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Soiled_Bargains ctrb]) 21:47, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Homestar Runner Quiz

The Homestar Runner quiz has been shut down... This is going to cause some serious problems for userpages with links to images from this quiz.

No. That site is not affiliated with us, and we don't encourage image hotlinking. If an external image is broken on a user page, it's really not a concern for the whole wiki. — It's dot com 19:50, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

quick question

Hey guys, just wondering, did Homestar Runner wiki's membership increase since the time the Brothers chaps, advertised this wiki on the actual site?

Cheers Nikolce Kocovski 01:18, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

It always increases. Did it increase more than usual? Hard to say. We've had a minor spam issue the last month or two - starting a little before TBC "advertised" us - so not all of the users from the last few months are legit. Plus, a number of users made user names but haven't made any contributions through them yet. --Jay (Gobble) 01:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC) I doubt it, given that there have been very few updates lately, and that the Wiki has been edited about 70 times a day on average lately (on the 17th of January, it was only edited 27 times!). Compare that to Wikipedia, which is edited, I think, about an average of 100,000 edits a day. RickTommy 10:54, 30 January 2010 (UTC) Yeah, but Wikipedia is the wiki, and this here is "just" a wiki. Granted, it's a fine one and full of really great informations, but comparing it to Wikipedia is like comparing, say, Texas (which is big, yes) to the United States. Or something like that. --Cass from Germany 19:00, 30 January 2010 (UTC) More like comparing the sizes of texas and jupiter. — Defender1031*Talk 19:06, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Halloween theme

Why are you still using the Halloween theme for the website? Halloween is over! O-V-U-R OVER! [/wiki/Special:Contributions/64.12.117.66 64.12.117.66] 13:38, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

We always leave them up for a few days after Halloween each year. I had thought we left them up until the fan costumes commentary came out, but I guess not. — It's dot com 17:46, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Edits

Have the Chapman Brothers ever made any edits to this Wiki? Jc iindyysgvxc 06:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

That's something we've occasionally wondered about ourselves. --DorianGray 06:49, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism

Why do we keep vandalism in page history? Why don't we ever remove it entirely? Jc iindyysgvxc 07:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Some vandalism is removed entirely. But given that only certain users even have the ability to remove it? It's usually not worth the hassle. --Jay (Gobble) 07:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Pumpkin Show

Hey, um, I'm new to this, but, uh, isn't there a new toon already named "Pumpkin Show"? I don't think anybody put it on the main page or even started an article on it. Okay bye.

Wiki user mentions

I just wanted to pop on and mention my dislike of mentions within articles of the contributions used by TBC and attributing them to users who sent them in. First, if it was not a wiki user it would not be notable. Therefore it should not be notable if it is. Second, they are commenting on fan items but we are not documenting the fans, we are documenting TBC.

Finally, if you want your 15 minutes of fame, sending a pic in to TBC to be immortalized on this wiki, that's not really playing by the rules. Going out on a limb here, but how many contributors sent in a pic hoping that TBC would feature it and they could be in an article?

I just don't like it. My peace. - Qermaq - (T/[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Qermaq C]) Qermaqsigpic.png 02:25, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I've never sent anything in, but if I did, I'd kind of hope that TBC would feature it and I could be in an article. I know we love to take ourselves super seriously, but when it comes down to it we're a fan-run knowledge base about an Internet cartoon. I really don't have a problem acknowledging those fans (with sufficient evidence) when relevant. As a wiki user, it is interesting to me when other wiki users have a direct influence on the course of the body of work. As that example shows, the horse left the barn at least five years ago, and there's really no point in shutting the door now. — It's dot com 02:36, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
