I'm in favor of the idea of moving the entire forum part of the site to hr.net, and at the top it'll say "Homestarrunner.net" where it says "Homestar Runner Wiki Forum", and still have "a companion to the homestar runner wiki" under it. it would be an effective use of the domain name, and would also possibly incline people to participate in the forum who either aren't aware or are apathetic of contibuting to the wiki, and basically make the forum an entity of it's own and not just another part of the wiki. they would still be connected, but they would be seperate entities.

We've got the portal, and that's what we're doing.

Right?

It's not my decision to make, but I think this thread should be locked at this point....

Believe it or not, but this forum is actually supposed to be a supplement to the wiki. People are suppost to visit the wiki and find the forum from there, not the other way around.

No, because there are still a lot of things to be decided.

There was a fansite with some flash animations on it. It was either called Everybody to the Limit, or it was called Fhqwhgads... it had a scary duck on it though.

edit - it was everybodytothelimit.com and the duck was called Fhqwhgads and it IS scary

edit - make that scary and self destructed

[Edit by InterruptorJones: The Tomba conversation was over a long time ago; quoting the entire thing wasn't necessary.]

the site could be used as an archive to all the long forgoten toons, characters ect that arnt on h*r.com. a jumping jacks contest and homeschool winner comes to mind. even old toons and games menus.

You're talking about a mirror, right? There are already several good ones listed on the wiki. I wouldn't want to duplicate their efforts.

is this good so far, joey? i made the entire strong bad that i am animating myself. the only thing i "borrowed" from the real toons is the background, because i was having trouble making those little round trees. here, take a peek at it ppl...

i clipped out the first few seconds of the whole thing... so i have a lot more done that just this. (tgies, thanks again!)

Yeah, it's looking real good, Jenny, keep it up!

Jello B. · **Posted:** Thu Oct 13, 2005 11:15 pm

You're putting the sound into the file by Stream rather than event, right? That ssems to be the culprit. At least it always was for me.

Jenny · **Posted:** Fri Oct 14, 2005 12:03 am

holy cwap! :hr:

that really helped speed this along... i'm done except for a little easter egg i'm adding to it... what fun! an egg within an egg (don't worry, nothin elaborate) here is the addy for the egg-less version: http://media.putfile.com/wikitoon

Wow, that was really great. I liked how he just kept going. Good prize.

InterruptorJones · **Posted:** Fri Oct 14, 2005 3:25 am

Wait.. who did the voice for this? It sounds surprisingly authentic.

I'm having issues with all the jaggies, though. Jaggies be gone!

Jenny · **Posted:** Fri Oct 14, 2005 5:17 am

yes, i don't like the jaggies either... i did a lot of resizing and that messed something up i think... and homestar has always been that way since i photoshopped him a month ago to make my "homestar sings" music video flash and the strange 3 in the morning flash experiment (see"flash stuff" in arts and crafts)

tgies did the voice... he does some pretty good impressions of the other characters too... i'm completely finished with this sucker now so heres the thing (putfile.com busted on me so i had to store it elsewhere, so you have to download it)

*this link has been removed* please see http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/Awesomations%21

did i get you on the gravy train?

hay guyz I did the voice lol lol

You'll need to resize your browser window to get it to look right.

Super Sam · **Posted:** Fri Oct 14, 2005 6:38 am

That looks pretty good. The Strong Bad impression is even better then mine. Maybe. If you want to get rid of the jaggies, I can supply some high-quality vector graphics. Just send me an [url=mailto:supersammyfluff@gmail.com]e-mail[/url]. What version of Flash are you using?

The dialogue is great, but can't you use the real Strong Bad's image? I mean, it'd look much better and authentic. No offense.

No, you didn't. This is exactly what I meant to discourage in my earlier comment. To be truthful, I'm very impressed by your work, but if it's not done by TBC, it is by definition (no matter how well done) a knock-off. I'm not going to put a knock-off on the new portal, period.

I'd prefer that any easter eggs on the new site point to real TBC toons the way the easter eggs do on the current hr.net page. The only legitimate alternative would be to create an original flash animation with our own original characters, but I'm not sure what the point of that would be.

Jenny · **Posted:** Fri Oct 14, 2005 10:29 pm

oh...
well i'm through. i thought i knew what was going on but apparently i didn't and now i feel kinda stupid that i made a toon with basically no point. i'm really sorry everyone for wasting your time (joey) or giving you the wrong idea. adios.

But it's good,m you should make others and out them on the fanstuff.

Joshua · **Posted:** Fri Oct 14, 2005 10:47 pm

Yes, Flash skills like that will get you very popular on the fanstuff. There's a bunch of people out there that'll flock to your work.

Although I doubt you'll move to the fanstuff, you should post your little movie there, so it won't be worthless.

Black Metal · **Posted:** Fri Oct 14, 2005 10:56 pm

Wow... I've started a popular thread, now my life is complete. :mrgreen:

I think we could do without flash. Maybe womeone could make it so little pictures would pop up if you clicked on certain words.

Popular? Heck, it's advertized on the wiki's main page!

Anyway, TOAST PAINT!!!

What are we going to use to link to all the sites in this portal? Boring old text, or banners and stuff?

Maybe homestarrunner.net can be a page about all of the inside jokes on the site, like HomestarRunner.net. You know, stuff like "Cheap as Free", "{noun}'D", "Witches Brew", etc.
