How Did You Find Out About the H*R Wiki?

So, how did you?

I found out in the external links section of Wikipedia's article on Homestar Runner.

Yeah, alright, I'll only talk like that in Off-Subject Discussion and Forum Games.

I think I was either searching for HSR easter eggs or a Peasant's Quest walkthrough.

hrwiki.org is the first result for "homestar" and "homestar runner" other [STOP]
than homestarrunner.com itself. [STOP]
so... that's how I found it [STOP]

My story's an interesting one.

You see, I found this totally awesome(lame) game called 50k Racewalk. So after trying to beat it, I decided to look for a walkthrough or something on google. So I did, and the hrwiki was up there. So I read the 50K Racewalk page, used the cheats there, and then found the hrwiki main page.

Already interested in H*R, I read a bunch of pages on the wiki, wondering who on earth had the time, effort and co-workers to construct something so massive. I was also curious about that tiny little edit button up there.

So after reading a few pages and a few preview-only edits, I decided to try added a fun fact or two. (Which were deleted later, but I didn't know.) Then I joined the wiki! Soon I found the fanstuff, and then this place!

I think I've already seen a topic about this?

Shopiom · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 2:37 am

No, that asked how you found out about the forum.

What in the world are you talking about?

I found the wiki through a Google search. Hoo-rah.

DS_Kid · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 3:21 am

Yep, I've found the site through google. This wiki has helped me out a lot

I would've never found half of the Easter Eggs or secrets without it.

iKipapa · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 4:03 am

Like a lot of people, I found the wiki through a Google search. I had no idea what it was, but I figured out fast.

Dark Grapefruit · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 4:05 am

I googled. Of course, it wasn't the first result after the site itself back then, but rather the first result on the second page. That was back when it was just a little baby site and I had no idea what a wiki was.

Edgar Traindropper · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 9:31 am

I was first introduced to HSR by a friend who sent a link to the "Dragon" SBEmail. (Ahhh, good ol' Troggy!) When I went to find it again, I Googled "Trogdor", and the Wiki came up as one of the links. As others have said, it's been incredibly useful!

Shishu Hiwatari · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 2:32 pm

Well, after I became a Homestar regular, I tried searching for SBemail secrets, and found some site. It got shut down, and so for a while I had to find them on my own *sigh* Then I finally googled it and found this place. It took almost a year to get to joining the forum though. I was still kind of afraid of forums.

I serched for many homestar sites. I was a member at a data-base called "this is a website!" (wich is now gone) so I serched again and found this site.

Melonade Man · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 3:41 pm

Alright...

I've liked H*r Since November 2003, but after hearing Joel (my cuz) talk about the secret pages, I quickly searched for "Homestar Runner.com super secret pages" and I found the wiki. Hurrah.

Puphles · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 5:32 pm

I believe I came across it whilest doing a search on the Google search engine

ModestlyHotGirl · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 5:35 pm

I Googled Homestar Runner when I was looking for Strong Bad Email secrets. I visited another site first, but then found the Wiki and stuck with it.

Black Metal · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 7:17 pm

I googled Peasant's Quest walkthrough and got to here. At first I never really went there, but after a while I kept checking it more and more until I'm here today, wondering why everyone is old-timey.

Ricksea · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 7:38 pm

Oddly enough, I found out about Homestar Runner and the Homestar Runner Wiki from a school newspaper. The article talked about homestar runner and listed the wiki as one of the formost fan-bases.

Jman4ever · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 8:20 pm

I found out about the wiki on fanfiction.net. I read a review on a homestarrunner fanfic with a like to the wiki.

ramrod · **Posted:** Sun May 29, 2005 8:57 pm

I found out about thw Wiki when a lady friend of mine told me I should look on Google to find Easter Eggs. I think it was still part of Joeyday.com when I found it.

I was Googling for cartoon transcripts, also doing so in hopes of finding better-formatted eggs than BHZ.

Phlip · **Posted:** Wed Jun 01, 2005 12:13 pm

I was considering for a while making a site which had transripts for all the toons, all the eggs, inside references, etc. I'd gotten as far as designing in my head how it would look, and then realised "this is the internet, surely someone's done this already". Did a google search and here I am.

I don't even know. That's really weird. Maybe Google. I stayed for the inside and external e-mail references, though.

Slaughter · **Posted:** Wed Jun 01, 2005 1:14 pm

Google. I was searching for pictures, before I got a good screen capturing program.
