If so then I guess it should be mentioned.

message: I've created a template for giving users a heads-up to the http://www.hrwiki.org (Homestar Runner Wiki), which looks like:
     at the Homestar Runner Wiki
...and started a discussion attached to the template of how we might avoid unnecessary redundancy between the Wikis.  If you find this subject of interest, please contribute to the discussion there.
This article was partially (and poorly) replicated on the Homestar Runner Wiki, so I changed that wiki's page to a redirect to this one.  Although I do think a lot of information should be centrally kept on HRWiki, this "encylopedic overview" should do its best to give a NPOV understanding of Homestar Runner and its significance as an internet phenomenon, and then redirect people back towards the HRWiki for less generally-relevant "fanstuff" (like Eh! Steve).
--metaeducation
Missy Palmer is not "a famous person", i agree with you on that, but her article should be left separate due to the fact that the general "homestar runner" article is growing very large as a result of popularity and such. She also needs her own site as she IS a main voice actor for the cartoon. (she does the voice of marzipan, as im sure you know, and marzipan is a major charicter for the most part).66.19.101.193 21:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This article is starting to get unwieldy and kinda spoilish. I propose moving the character guide to a different article, perhaps Guide of Homestar Runner characters or something like that. If no one disagrees (or does it before I do), then I'll go and do that.
--cprompt
:I don't think it's unwieldy - it's well structured, so easy to follow. But anyway, somebody made Homestar Runner characters, so I'll delete the list from this article (I'd rather they were all in one place, however, personally). --Camembert
::I've changed my mind and put everything back in this one article (it's now as it was before, but with the "creators" section above the "characters", which makes sense to me). I don't see the benefit of spreading the information over two articles when it can be well presented (as it is) in one. --Camembert
:::Well, there is a lot of them, and the article was seeming to be more about the quirks of various characters than about the site. Other articles don't have this, including Futurama_(animated_series), The Simpsons, and South_Park. The article does benefit from better organization since you moved the "Creators" section, but I still feel that a paragraph about each character is excessive on the Homestar Runner page. I'll leave it alone for now, but if the character list continues to grow, I may be compelled to create a Homestar Runner characters page.
:::--cprompt
I think it might be worth considering creating an article specifically devoted to the sub-cartoons portrayed in the SB emails, and splitting off the text currently on this page that deals with these sub-cartoons.  There are a lot of small paragraphs on the main HR page, and (though I'm relatively new to looking at that page), I think it might be worth considering making a "List of Cartoons Featured on Homestarr Runner" page, or something to that effect, to un-clutter the main page.  Thoughts?  --Rahzel 23:35, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  mostly? 

message: :There seems to be much talk here about the roles of the characters as protagonist or antagonist.  These terms are not labels of good guy/ bad guy and cannot be applied to the site (H*R) as a whole.  The protagonist of a story is the character to whom the plot struggle is presented.  The antagonist is the character who presents the struggle; as such, not all stories have an antagonist.  The term protagonist is often used to mean "Good Guy."  A better term would be "Main Character."  Sometimes the protagonist is the villain. 
:In the context of Homestarrunner.com, it is impossible to simply say that one character is the protagonist and one the antagonist; the site consists of dozens of different stories which do not fit into a continuous plotline.  I suppose one could label Homestar the Hero and Strongbad the Villain or Antihero.  I really am not sure which term would better decribe Strongbad.
:Ultimately, all the comments I've written above amount to pretty much nothing for two reasons.  First, the site completely defies the common conventions of literature.  Whoever described it as absurdist was dead on.  Secondly, it's freakin' hillarious and no amount of analysis will do anything to make it funnier.  I greatly appreciate this wiki entry and the HR wiki as well, but don't bother breaking it all down.  Just enjoy it.

message: Oh, no! Is the note regarding Nickelodeon true on Trogdor's page true? If it is, that could only mean that Homestar Runner is going to be a Nicktoon. If it were similar to the classic SpongeBob episodes, that would be great! But if it were anything like The Fairly OddParents!, it would be enough to drive me out of my skin.
:During a Nickelodeon commercial, Wanda of the Fairly Odd Parents hits the orange Nickelodeon bubble, and it explodes, releasing tons of things everywhere, including Trogdor, Homestar Runner, Marzipan, the Sneak, and Homesar.
And has anyone here heard Things I Like by KJ-52 and Golden Child? KJ-52 says "I like my man SpongeBob and Homestar Runner." He even said that he would like to write an entire Homestar song! That would be cool.
Crapfully yours, Darth Katana X
:Hi! I read this comment and the entry for it on the Trogdor page and after much thought it seems rather unlikely that such a comment would be true.  First, their Inkhole_Interview mentions that they're unlikely to sell to Nickelodeon (just search for Nickelodeon).  Also, if such bubble released the toons it says it did then it either was a cameo appearance or indeed a preview of what is to come. Just a cameo appearance wouldn't make any sense, so people would generally assume that they'd have a H*R toon in the works.  If this was the case, then Nickelodeon would likely not show this if some kind of agreement had been reached with The Chaps.  If said agreement exists, then it's quite likely going to be listed in http://www.imdb.com (imdb) (as Planned or in Pre-production). If such a listing exists then Matt and Mike chapman would be listed as contributors and the entry for such a cartoon would also be listed in their http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1480095/ (imdb) http://us.imdb.com/name/nm1053635/ (entries).  I see no such entries, which leads me to strongly beleive that the comment is a hoax and should be removed. So what do you guys think? --Stux 22:57, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Umm, I have to disagree. By looking through the Homestar Runner Wiki, which has a great amount of Homestar Runner fans, and rarely saw when Strong Bad was listed as a favorite character.

Also, I took a poll, found http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Bluebry_muffin/poll (here) at the bottom, and no people chose Strong Bad, however, four people chose The Cheat.

thread_title:  Lil' Brudder 

message: I really don't think the fact that Homestar Runner was referenced on some WB teen show needs to be mentioned in the introductory paragraphs of this article.  They don't even really directly reference Homestar Runner on the episode in question, someone says the name "Trogdor," a character from the cartoon, but do not contextualize it, meaning only fans of the cartoon would realize the reference. I also don't think the fact that the National Review, uh, reviewed them needs to be in the intro, even if it is rare for a website to be reviewed in a national publication (even one which has a history of defending segregation, as the National Review does). Being mentioned on Buffy the Vampire Slayer is not the site's crowning achievement, and I actually think being featured on NPR's "All Things Cosidered" is a bit more notable that being mentioned on Buffy or the National Review. 
I'll put those 'references in other media' elsewhere in the body of the article, but I'm removing it from the intro.
::Well, somone's already reverted the intro mention of Buffy and the National Review, even though I left room on the talk page for them to give reasons why it's important enough to be in the intro. Here's what I just removed (again):
::::Elements from the site have been referenced in other media, such as the final episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and has been reviewed in National Review.
::Again, it's not relevant that they were mentioned on Buffy the Vampire Slayer to include that bit of info in the introduction to this article. They don't even say "homestar runner" on the Buffy episode in question; there is never a direct reference to the site that outsiders would be able to understand. Further, being reviewed in a national publication is not a big enough deal to be in the intro. Getting national press is a pretty big deal for a small website, but they've also been covered on NPR's "All Things Considered" "Wired Magazine" and elsewhere, so this should all go in the "Reception" section of the article, no the intro. The National Review is a pretty poor publication to mention in the intro to this site, because Homestar Runner is pretty apolitical, while the National Review is doggedly conservative (They have a history of siding with Segregationists, if you take a look a their wiki article, which is a deplorable stance, even back when it was originally published). 
::Once again, I'm removing the Buffy and National Review mentions from the intro. Don't put them back. They'll still be noted in the article in the "Reception" section, just not the intro. I know it hurts to have something you wrote deleted from wikipedia, but you can't just keep adding it back if it doesn't belong there. if you want to discuss it, come to this discussion section and give a good reason why the fact that they were mentioned once, obliquely, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer just HAS to be included in the introduction.
:::That's all good and stuff, but please use the edit summary next time so people know why you did it and where to look. I didn't write that content, so that wasn't my reason for reverting; check the page history. Thanks, BazookaJoe 22:36, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bear holding a shark 

message: Just to express my personal opinion, I believe that the Teen Girl Squad page should be left as-is and not merged into the main article on Homestar Runner.  Even if the TGS animations are less numerous/popular than other subjects on the website - such as the Strong Bad Emails, full cartoons, etc. - they are completely different than other animated content, and as such I believe they deserve a seperate page or section.  This disctinction covers both subject matter, animation style, voice style, and also a series of "running jokes" (for example, "arrow'd") that exist only in the Teen Girl Squad flash.  In addition, the subgroup of animations themselves were first created quite some time ago, and the fairly recent addition of the 12th episode in the series indicates that it might continue as a staple of the comic.  Thank you for your time and consideration, and please let me know if I can do anything to help.  Vendetta 07:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree because the points you make about distinctions between TGS and the rest of the site ('running' jokes, different animation and voice stylings, subject matter) could be said of a lot of the 'sub toons' on H*R. 'Powered by the Cheat,' '20x6' or the 'Old Timey' Homestar shorts are differently animated and voiced than the rest of the series, with their own running jokes, but it's still part of the H*R universe and should just be on this page. I just don't think there's enough of a distinction from the rest of the Homestar Runner toons to warrant treating 'Teen Girl Squad' as its own entity (it's not as if TGS has a different fan base from H*R, it's the same audience & they are all watching the shorts from the main H*R page). Also, TGS is a lot funnier in context (that it is a cartoon of Strong Bad's creation, so knowing who Strong Bad is plays a lot into the humor of those shorts) so to remove it from the H*R page would strip it of that context. It would be a different story if 'Teen Gril Squad' had its own seperate domain and webpage run by the Chapmans, but as it stands TGS  is part of Homestar Runner and thus should be listed on the H*R page.
I feel that having a link from the Homestar Runner page to the TGS page is sufficient.  The number of subjects related to Homestar are far too numerous to fit into one article.  SassMan 04:45, 13 March 2007
I agree. Keep them separate from the Homestar Runner article, and merely provide links to each of them. At the very least, they'll be covered in the Homestar Runner Wiki, right??

text: I agree with the merge, per other points. Also, the "length issue" wouldn't exist if the article didn't have a summary on every single episode; hell, these summaries take up the majority of the article. — MalcolmUse the schwartz! 21:45, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Teen Girl Squad Merger 

message: I don't think this was made in flash.  I got this DVD from the site, and Matt and Mike said that they use blue tooth and motion picture.  Why is everyone saying it's made in flash?  CheesyToons 21:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You sure it wasn't just for editing the movie portion of a cartoon? I remember them saying once that they still use Flash 5 despite newer versions being released (in fact, "Flash's 10th Birthday" creates inside-joke humor out of this fact), but I can't remember the interview or commentary this is from off the top of my head. Which toon's commentary do TBC say they use blue tooth and motion picture? I would like to investigate this with you. —BazookaJoe 00:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
