This topic has come a long way. It's obviously a wonderful example of how people cope after being cut-off from an addictive substance. lol.

Possibilities for no new toons:
1. The Brothers Chaps didnt want to do it, and wanted to spend time with family.
2. They are making a new giant guitar.
3. The Brothers Chaps died.
4. They are being held hostage by "Coolio De Fablio" for making fun of his name.
5. They ran out of ideas.
6. They both got sick, and are trying to rest it off.
7. They moved.
8. Their computer exploded.
9. They got jobs (not likely).
10. They stopped doing it (REALLY not likely, because they would work on a fairwell toon)
11. They are working on a fairwell toon (maybe).
12. They hate us.
13. They took the money from sales of merchendise and fled to Moscow.
14. Someone annoyed them too much (considering the previous annoyances, not likely)
15. The site was updated, but it then undid it.
16. Homestarrunner is getting a new look.
17. They are waiting for new emails (IMPOSSIBLE).
18. They quantum tunneled to the center of the earth (more likely than item 17).
19. Strong bad got feed up with emails.
20. We need to get a life.
21. All of the above.

Suggest your theories!

I doubt that one, they only did it because *insert the name I'm forgetting here* requested they make it for an auction for charity.

Unless they're doing it again, which I doubt.

Perhaps ANNUAL charity, or rather another act of charity...

No, it went to a charity foundation.

Maybe check out the wiki article on it before I start getting confused.

The short version of my take:

Extremely likely: 1, 20
Certainly worth speculating about: 16, 19
Faintly possible but highly doubtful: 2, 7, 8, 11
Most exobably not: the rest

I don't think TBC make a ton of money off their site. They make enough to earn a living but I don't think they're rich. I could be wrong, however. For all I know they could be millionaires. Anyway if they're finished with H*R I think they'd need to find another source of income. That isn't bloody likely so chances are they're just taking a holiday break.

Or maybe they're busy filming Peasent's Quest: The Movie (also not very likely)

For all we know they could come out this Monday with the longest H*R toon they've ever made. Like a half hour toon... or something.

22. They are trapped in a Groundhogs Day thing and are living the same day over and over again.

Hahaha... they just keep doing email 140 over and over... poor guys!

Jenny · **Posted:** Sun Jan 08, 2006 6:17 am

wait... but if they kept repeating the same day, it would be like tons of time for them, but for us it would all still be the same day because we aren't stuck in a repeating thing... no time would pass for us... so that can't be... unless we're all repeating the same day, which would suck because that would mean winter would last forever... i better stop before my hed asplode.

23. They were captured by china to be forced to make flash movies for ten cents an hour
24. they were lost at sea in a tragic sponge fishing accident in the caribbean and are now adrift in a lifeboat
25. they were on a plane that crashed just off of an uncharted island, and are now building fires by rubbing sticks together and having conversations with a basketball they named spalding
26. they won the lottery. nuff said.
27. their neighbor who is a theoretical physicist/engineer built a machine that could convert real objects into data and transfer them into a computer, and the machine went haywire and trapped TBC in their own site (like in Tron sort of)
28. they got sucked into a paralell universe by a miniature black hole
29. they are working on a homestar movie, to be released in theaters this fall
30. they forgot the password to get into their computers and have had to hire a hacker to get in there and unlock the system
31. they forgot to update
32. they wanted to see what happened when they didn't update to see how many people actually visit the site on a regular basis
33. the power to their house was cut off for some reason. ( :coachz:

Question for the "They're just on a break!" holdouts...

If tomorrow comes and there's still no update... THEN will you begin to "worry"?

No.

I'll calmly think of some other reason and leave it at that.

33. They saw the Wiki and were so offended for some reason that they blew everything up.
34. They turned into mad scientists and are making a "Head A Splode" potion.
35. Um...beef...stew. Just blame that.
36. Two words: LOW STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES.
37. Too much suudsu.
This could go on forever.

I'm really surprised. This thread has gotten the most views on the page.

Hey, they already know about the wiki. They donated $250 :cheatgrin:

All I'm going to say is,

# 38. Missy got it on with Matt. That'd make for a not-very-conducive-to-success working environment.

this is the most sinister explanation yet, and I say... not unlikely.

Missy cheating on Mike with Matt? Now that's just messed up.

Very yes. Welcome to the forum.

39. They've stopped updating for a while to see how many fans, who are wondering why there's nothing new, will sign up to this forum.

Yeah. It's kinda ironic, HR stops updating and more people join the forum.

Well I heard that they tried to build a robotic version of Homestar and it went crazy with power. Currently they're battling it with a huge robotic Strong Bad over in east Canada, but Strong Bad keeps stopping to make funny comments about Canada's landscape.

:sb:

You call that a skyline? More like a... ski... ....line.
:hr:

MUSHT DESTWOY PWANET !
:sb:

That line's getting old, build him some arms so he can actually do something... or at least, build me robotic hot mama... with some... big beefy arms... yeah.. I'm having some weird thoughts here...

Hey, I'm one of the dregs who joined because of no updates. More importantly because I've been reading this thread since it started, and decided to wait unti the wanky arguments died off.

I was expecting a lot more shocked posts because of the lack of updates today [or maybe it's too early for that?]
