Umm... That thing appears very breifly on main page 22

SOMEONE EXPLAIN!!!!

Slaughter · **Posted:** Thu May 12, 2005 9:56 pm

Wow what is that. It looks like a quote of the week type thing, But I've don't remember anyone saying that. I'll look into it more.

DumDeDum · **Posted:** Thu May 12, 2005 11:02 pm

if you click quote, it momentarily pops up, then it changes to the quote

StrongRad · **Posted:** Thu May 12, 2005 11:03 pm

That's kinda the generic outline TBC used for the quote box, I think. It used to say something like "This is my funniest word style I ever said, hope you enjoy it." Or something like that. It came up and quickly went to whatever the quote of the week was. I started seeing it when they went to the "new" quote of the week thing.

That will come up for about a second, then switch to the regular QOtW. I think it's just the saved version of the quote box.

But I'm not too good with Flash, so don't trust me.

What about the updates button?

StrongRad · **Posted:** Thu May 12, 2005 11:24 pm

What do you mean, "What about the update button? "

Joshua · **Posted:** Thu May 12, 2005 11:26 pm

It's the regular QotD box. TBC add the new one on top of it whenever they update. Usually you can't see it because it's behind the black, but on virus, that black is fake to allow room for stuff like the stretching out button and stuff like that. So nothing covers it up before the new one is placed on top. You can also see it on the secret Strong Bad main page, which also has some fake black.

Hope you understand that.

YUS! Makes perfect sence... but why that random message? It's like: a message that refers to almost every toon...

The Experimental Film · **Posted:** Thu May 12, 2005 11:38 pm

It's just a generic message they used when they were making the Quote of the Week box. They needed a quote, and with their random sense of humor, came up with that.

Pretty funny...

Better than my random humor. If i did that, it would say: "blah"

You know we have a wiki, right?
Man, I've always wanted to say that.

Anyways, it's the same thing as the Strange text on the Games menu - The text area needs a default value, that then gets replaced once it knows what to replace it with. If it glitches up, you can see what that default value is.

The message didn't use to be so random, but I guess they when they realised it was glitched like that they made it a random easter egg rather than fixing it - that's my theory anyway.

It's probably there to mess with all of our minds.

The Experimental Film · **Posted:** Fri May 13, 2005 12:58 am

Like the evil monkeys from Neptune. :eek:

Joshua · **Posted:** Fri May 13, 2005 2:03 am

They probably did it just to help add to the feeling of the virus page. And to give us something to think about. I'm sure they could have fixed it if they had wanted to.

i did that screenie yesterday, so that "moter city comic con" button is still on there! if you wait around after it says "new toon, stinkoman level 5 and stinkoman shirt"

The Experimental Film · **Posted:** Fri May 13, 2005 8:09 pm

Why are only the parents going to conventions? If I ever went to a con, I'd want to see TBC in person.

Maybe they's have things to do, or possibly go to ther ones, if there are any more.

The Experimental Film · **Posted:** Sat May 14, 2005 4:01 am

There needs to be a convention right here. Where I'm sitting. Right now. Involving various webcomic artists, TBC, and free food and merchandise.

Yee-haw.

[backontopic]I think they accidentally did it at first, but then when they saw it, they left it alone since it added to the virus feeling.[/backontopic]

I think that it happens on all the main pages, but you need the page to be widened, like on virus, for it to be seen.

That's probably what he meant, Dormar. They didn't mean for it to show, but when they realized it did, they let it be.

I saw the other weird QOTW on the 20X6 main page.. I think I have a screen shot somewhere.
edit: Yep, I did have one.. cropped it so I could put it here, cus it was too big otherwise.

They use that wordstyle for the HRWiki image of the thing.
