How did you discover the Wiki/Forum? I discovered it because I searched Homestar on Google one day when I was bored and it was the 2nd site listed. Anybody have any cool storys as to how they found this place?

I found it when I searched for Homestar Runner on Wikipedia one day. It was in the external links.

I found it when someone from an old forum posted the entire e-mail virus.
I said taht it must have took him a long time.
then he said he got it from a wiki.

I searched homestar wiki in google and found Hr wiki.

After a few months I founded the forum and joined.

Oddly, enough, I found the forum first. After a few days of lurking, I clicked the Wiki button at the top thinking it would bring me back to the main index. Instead it took me to a strange and wonderful place from which I didn't leave for, like a week.

I was wondering why there hadn't been any updates lately (December '05). So I stumbled upon this Wiki, found out there's a forum aswell and thought "hey, this might be interesting".

I found it through a link in a friend's journal, where she was bragging that she'd seen a brand-new e-mail even before the people at the Wiki had been able to make a page on it.

i found hrwiki when i was looking for informaiton on google (i think i was wondering the exact wording of some quote or other) and i noticed the hrwiki. came back to it a few times to watch the sweet swf file toons (my monitor is big so they look totally sweet) and finally i noticed the wee link down there for a forum. usually i don't do forum type things because they eat up too much time, but this was too much to resist, so i registered and here i am.

Me and my friend were on his computer one day, and we searched Homestar Runner. We saw the wiki, and clicked it. We thought it was stupid.(back then i didn't know what a wiki was, so exscuse me.)

Sometime around February, I found the wiki again and started reading up on stuff I had never heard of before(Like Homeschool Winner, The Unguraits, and MLS). I found the forums a little while later.

See, I told you I was a lurker for a really long time. :P

I found the wiki searching for "Strong Sad" in early 2004. Later that year, the forums were created, and I joined in.

I Google'D "Strong Bad E-mail" looking for eggs when I found the wiki. I remember when it was on Joey's site. Then back in Sept of 04 when they were doing some updates to the Wiki and it was closed I saw that it had a forum and joined out of boredom. Needless to say, I've been hooked.

I think it was early May 2005. I googled Peasant's Quest Walkthrough, having been to other walkthroughs on other sites before. Found the one at the wiki, then slowly came to realize that there was so much more than just a walktrough. w00t.

I'd been eyeing it for a long time, but it wasn't until e-mail 150 that I entered. I was curious as to what others thought of the absence of emails.

I'd always see it up on the list whenever I Googled something homestar related. I think ultimately I found it when I was looking for this Strong Sad fansite that apparently went belly-up, because I can't find it anymore.

Edit: Here's an interesting article to read. I think I read this at some point before I joined the forum.

the wiki article on the wiki

I did a Google search for Homestar Runner, just to see what fansites came up. I decided to take a look at the Wiki and discovered much to my joy and suprise that it was the most complete Homestar Runner resource ever.

Holy crap. Change May 2005 to February 2005, and that's me.

I was bored while searching the wiki, and found the link to the forums. I eased into it, but I was soon assimilated completely. :mrgreen:

Someone was talking about H*R on another forum and posted a link to the Wiki, saying it was a "great H*R site to check out", so I just went there out of curiosity. Took me about a month or two before I bothered to start posting on the forums, though.

I was searching something involving...Marshamllows on google images, and somehow I got a picture of the pompom iPod render. o_O

Then I forgot about it for a while until someone mentioned it in a comment on some H*R art...And I was like 'Oh, so this place has MORE than weekly fanstuff? o_O'

Yeah. Pure genius. xD

I first discovered the Wiki when my best friend told me about a websight that told you where the easter eggs were hidden. I didn't really use it much though. I came back to the Wiki a while later to read the fun facts, goofs, and glitches on the SBEmails. That's when I started to look around more. I now look at the wiki for updates and to view the SBEmails in... BIG SCREEEEENNNN!. I discovered the forum by clicking on the third external link to see the peoples opinions on the new email. I didn't know exactly what it was, because I didn't know too much about forums. But then Bugkiss (it was sprite back in the day) answered some of my questions and told me more about the forum. Now here I am. I'm not too active in posting in the forum, but I do look quite often.
