I was introduced by a friend about five years ago. The first new sbemail I ever saw was virus, and at first it scared the heck outa me. Since then, I've been a devoted fan.

I started liking Homestar Runner back around November '08. I first heard of him from my friends on YouTube, but I didn't know what it was at that time.

in 2004 my stepmom showed me Dragon so I would understand where her email sounds came from. I have been addicted since

I saw a playthrough of Homestar Ruiner on youtube after it came out and I've been hooked scince. Now I've got all the games, watched all the toons and emails, drew Trogdor in the margins of my notebook multiple times and made an obsene amount of Homestar creations in Spore (or "Homespore" you could say).

Since late June or early July of 2002. It was before the Toons and Games menus changed to the TV Guide / Handheld, and Homsar wasn't considered a main character yet (unless you count his appearance in The House That Gave Sucky Treats).

When my little brother found the site on July 2008 after we discovered SBCG4AP, I was hooked on it for a good long while. Now, I only visit the site every once-in-a-while.

I watched my 1st H*R toon in October '09. :pom:

I'd say it's been about 14 months now.

Since around the end of 2004, about the time SB's Compy went bye-bye in the VIRUS email.

First saw a cartoon from the site in June/July of '03, first started visiting it regularly in late August.

I've been aware since 2003, when my brother started watching, but I only started following from around Kids Book onwards... which was also in 2003, as it happens.

I found out about H*R about two years ago, my friend showed it to me on his ipod during PE when we weren't doing anything. I remembered the site a couple months later and I have been addicted ever since. Long live the H*R!

Where is the time going? It's already been seven and a half years since I first discovered Homestar Runner! :eek:

I just checked the Homestar Timeline. I guess it was early 2002. There was no Teen Girl Squad or 20X6 when I first started watching. Wow...7 years have gone by so fast. It seems like only yesterday. & the Lappy was in so few Sbemails...she was killed off too soon.

First toon was Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon, and it was the newest toon at the time. So I've been following for 5 years.

I've never obsessed over Homestar though, which is probably how I've managed to stay entertained by it for so many years.

Charlie Jr. · **Posted:** Mon Dec 28, 2009 4:37 pm

I've been following the web site since the Spring of 2003, and I was 14 years old since then. If it weren't for my brother showing me where it was, I never would have been aware of its existence. Unfortunately, my brother, who's currently 19 years old and two years younger than me, isn't into the web site anymore and doesn't believe the fact that some people older than me are current followers of the web site. He's also been missing out on a LOT of stuff for the past five years. He just doesn't know what's so special about it.

my friend introduced my sister to who introduced me to when i was 'bout 5. Around the time 50 emails came out soooooo... oh gosh. its been almost 7 years since i was introduced. Oh, I'm eleven. Almost twelve.

I can't remember the first instance, but I think it was when my older sister showed me 'Dragon'. It had to be like, sometime during '05 or something.

WHAT?!

That means it's been like, five years!

Though I cannot actually pinpoint when I started following continously, I recall that the scroll button song had the words 'And I'm always late to school 'cause your MOM'S SO SLOW! OOoooh!!!!!!' when I started checking regularly.

The first email -- after 'Dragon', I think, was 'What I want,' though.

Since mid-August 2004. First email for me was "other days" and the first cartoon was Strong Bad is in Jail, if I remember correctly.

Bacon · **Posted:** Sat Jan 09, 2010 9:01 pm

I've been visiting Homestar Runner for about six years now. The first toon I saw was Strong Bad is in Jail, and I think the first sbemail was somewhere around sbemail 70.

Cloverstardrop · **Posted:** Fri Jan 22, 2010 5:12 am

'Bout a year or two.

RickTommy · **Posted:** Fri Apr 02, 2010 8:07 am

I first found out about H*R in October 2006 when an image of Strong Bad was used humorously on a number of Wikipedias. I first *used* H*R in March 2007; the first toon I saw was VIDEO GAMES, the 94th Sbemail. I then used H*R until November 2007, when I lost interest, then I regained interest in September 2009.

My good freind levi showed it to me sometime in early 01 there where only 7 toons but I liked it anyways and have been a fan since

I've been following it since early 2003 ... not very long after Trogdor first debuted.

Oh same here!
However I admit around '07 I took a break when on their first hiatus and came back recently in Jan'10. while on their second hiatus. I couldn't seem to win.

Email #42 was the newest one, back in September of 2002, right at the start of the Compy era. I still consider the Compy to be Strong Bad's REAL computer. And if you notice in the e-mail Vacation, he talks about historic Over There and it's several antique shops. Maybe he bought the Compy at an antique shop... hmmm?

Anydangway, shortly after seeing my brother watching one of the cartoons, I watched every single strong bad e-mail up to that point in one night. After that, I was hooked for good. I used to stay up on Sunday nights hitting refresh, just waiting for that new e-mail or other update. Ah, those were the good ol' days.

I've been watching H*R since early 2006. The latest update was "disconnected".
So a little over four years now.
