man it's like every couple o' months i come remember this place and come back and i'm like wow you're still kicking around. it makes me happy that this place is still seeing some action. on the other hand its also an archive of me saying some really offensive crass sh** and being kinda mean to 13 year olds. if you're an internet historian doing research in the future let it be known that those thinggs were said when i was a 15-16-17(?) year old emotionally confused teen and i have since matured and i am less bad. -- {{User:NachoMan/sig}} 05:56, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

== Main Page Overhaul ==

 +
WITH THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA, we should overhaul the Main Page. I'll list some ideas below.
 +
 +
*Remove FotF template: FotF is dead and obsolete.
 +
*Change Content around. Instead of labeling by genre, perhaps by universe. We can have the 'Wikihood Universe/WUWniverse', the 'Old Universe/Wiki City', and then 'Other/Multiverse'.
 +
*Nuke the WhosOnline template. No one uses it.
 +
*Change Wiki Stuff to actually be useful.
 +
*Streamline colors, maybe?
 +
*Eventually overhaul the rest of the Wiki.
 +

What the absolute hell happened to the Main Page and why is the text in Comic Sans? :| Noxigar 06:39, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
because its funny FloppyDongHersh Bensfloppydong.png
Comic Sans is so overused.TVB 18:32, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
HKCmPTb.jpg Lex 19:06, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
then why the hell am I not laughing at the Comic Sans part? Just sayin'. :PTVB 00:24, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
because you have a dry sense of humor and it obviously doesn't help you much in situations like these Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 01:42, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
OH SNAAAAP Lex 02:23, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
i was kidding. Of course Comic Sans are part of the joke. i was actually laughing. I mean, it's not like Seltzerberg humor. RIGGGGGGGGHT?!TVB15:40, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Seltzerberg is a comedic genius what are you talking about Lex 23:32, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
interbet... -- NachoTalk 01:50, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
dafuq did you say, Lex? Seriously, if these two are "comedic geniuses," then elaborate why they are because they aren't. They are worse than Uwe Boll.TVB 13:28, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Uwe Boll? Oh man, I love that guy. Watched House of the Dead the other day, I couldn't believe what a cinematic masterpiece is. And I don't even need to explain why Friedberg and Seltzer are comedic geniuses, ever seen Epic Movie, or Disaster Movie? Or Vampires Suck? They're the best spoof films since Leslie Nielsen's Airplane and you totally know it. I study cinema, so I know what I am talking about. We're in a period of enlightenment. Lex 15:11, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
At least Uwe Boll movies are, to me, a guilty pleasure. but while we're on the subject of Seltzerberg, I have seen only one movie from seltzerberg and that's Disaster Movie, and i hated it. You can't put that stupid movie in the same league as Airplane. That's like putting Kesha in the same league as metallica. If you're trollin', good joke then.TVB15:16, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Kesha is much better than that piece of shit Metallica what are you talking about Lex 17:02, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

tvb is just a dumb kid who doesn't get the art. he just doesn't get HOW MUCH BETTER THE CARTOONS WE GOT IN THE 90'S WERE than the SHIT we get now. i feel sorry for kids who weren't born in the nineties. signed skullbranch 1998

Why thank you, strong intelligent for the nice comment. You gave me a boner.TVB 0:00, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Why are you people editing this site? Let it rest in peace. MeTK2lK.pngrEqWIWX.png 03:00, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Because someone's gotta riff Arceus Emails, and the people who were going to riff it left their riffs incomplete. Also, having a riff quota that isn't sated is why I am still here. There's also Wikihood, but whether or not it continues to be edited is entirely up to Lex and Chaos, who are both undisputedly better writers than me. Noxigar 04:11, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
i think you're prejudiced here, noxigar, no mention of the goddamn koalas huh
and yes they are better writers than you most people are FloppyDongHersh Bensfloppydong.png
i'm just here to stroke my egoboner Lex 13:34, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
i can take care of that for you ;))) FloppyDongHersh Bensfloppydong.png

I'd say the front page is pretty dang ironic. Keep up the good work, fellas. -- NachoTalk 06:39, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Pls continue blue ninja -pmelondemon43y

backup wiki

in the event that super sam shuts down the wiki we should probably make a backup wiki with the good stuff on it

now the question is what is the good stuff

now i would say the outstandingly good, shit, active shit, or just stuff worth keeping would be:

if you have any more additions you find necessary add them on -pmelondemon43y

Im a bell deleted Records of Bell aeons ago. Otherwise I'm fine with a majority of those. Noxigar 01:46, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
me and lex restored them all a while ago -pmelondemon43y
Oh sweet. Maybe I can riff Records of Bell now that it's actually finished and revived. Noxigar 01:56, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
We could also port a few of the more successful interactives with us too. The only thing I want to discuss is the identity of the Wiki User Wiki, as while it's practical I think perhaps a new identity could serve us well, as well as maybe finding a way to better advertise ourselves to generate a new consistent flow of traffic either here or there. Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 02:00, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
what would we call it? there's not really a category for all this shit -pmelondemon43y
Honestly I'd keep Wikihood, Jose's Mexican Space Adventure, Rifftext, and maybe the BellQuest saga among those. I know what we can call the new backup wiki, though. We call it the Solemn Pizzeria Wiki. Noxigar 02:06, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
do you not find any of the others listed good? -pmelondemon43y
I don't know, but "Wiki User Wiki" is a bit ambiguous and the name should more closely relate to the fact that we're using mediawiki as a common ground to flex our creative muscles Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 02:10, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
Due to the way Rifftext works we wind up saving the rest of those other fanstuffs by proxy of 'em having been riffed. I don't think NachoMan cares about his user artwork anymore, so it being gone is probably something he won't regard in any way. Noxigar 02:14, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
we're saving most of them cause they're classics, man -pmelondemon43y
Technically we don't have to port the original riffed stuff over, but it loses its lustre if we don't have proof to show for it. Though, to be fair, I never saw the original versions of any of the movies they showed on MST3K so it's not like it isn't a weird concept, but it kind of loses novelty. Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 02:22, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
Gurl, let me tell you. I am quite the novelty killer. Noxigar 02:31, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

JCMovies and RiffText are classics? My time on here hasn't been a waste, then! MeTK2lK.pngrEqWIWX.png 02:40, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

despite the thinly veiled sarcastic layers of shit we give you and each other we appreciate you and really like your work Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 02:42, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Can we have that dumb show about the Koala bear please I really liked that FloppyDongHersh Bensfloppydong.png

I will give The World's Greatest credit for being the only show that kept me coming here for the last two years. MeTK2lK.pngrEqWIWX.png 18:00, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

this list is stupid and you should all be ashamed of yourselves Lex 17:37, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

editing problems

6BBjiqV.png

someone explain this shit to me

index w is a part of clamburger.org, most likely a part that didn't make it through when Sam upgraded the servers, but we still have to path through to make edits, and if you try and edit a certain way it winds up at the beginning of the index which no longer exists, causing an error :grad: Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 17:06, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
but how do i fix it dad
I find that making a new section is safe, as well as pages that have no sections, but editing whole pages with multiple sections doesn't seem to work Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 17:11, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
it's annoying and i hate it and i want it fixed NOW Lex 17:52, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

I think I got the problem! It's links. I looked this up, and it's apparently something to do with an anti-spam filter. Remember when we had all those bots that kept making pages with crap on them? Well basically, I think this filter detects how many links on one page, and goes from there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Rl4p5IWPs - One link ain't any trouble.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0CAiRE34Kg - Two links ain't any trouble.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWixKbU2xdU - Three links ain't any trouble.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdszkvsKx5Y - But when I add a fourth link?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN7pCuNtO6Q - Oh. it worked.

what about now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPYiy2_ZavU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPYiy2_ZavU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPYiy2_ZavU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPYiy2_ZavU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPYiy2_ZavU COME THE FUCK ON

okay i don't know what it is

shit

i don't think its either headlines or links

i can edit jose's mexican space adventure with two headlines and the pastebin link, and the full version has no links in it and i cant post it. -pmelondemon43y

Hey guys can you chill for a moment?

I'm trying to watch this Megaman 5 Race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55Y9cqlWs6k Noxigar 23:53, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

of those things were true

i'm straight yes, and I don't have severe autism but I do have Asperger's Syndrome which actually isn't an excuse for anything so. Brerose 03:42, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

{DAMN IT WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE ONIONS?} So I guess if I really wanted to tempt Lex then I'd have to make a bunch of Take Thats to multiple things I abhor - not just Dangan Ronpa - and proceed to watch as he twists these into something which cuts me like a really high-quality knife? Noxigar 03:36, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

i should just write something with a mixture of dangan ronpa, scott pilgrim, no more heroes, and have rose lalonde and kanaya as a couple as the main characters of the story Lex 03:40, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
I actually don't mind No More Heroes but yeah that mixture is pretty lethal. Too bad there's no Felicia Day, Joss Whedon, or Tim Buckley to really make my blood boil. I also don't know how much of a parallel to Katawa Wikihood Mega-Kart X6 it would be, either. Noxigar 03:41, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
katawa is fucking fantastic what are you talking about Brerose 03:43, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
That was my point. If Lex is going to make my blood truly boil, he'd have to attempt to disrupt things I like as well as manipulate things I dislike. Noxigar 03:44, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Also I like (most of) the characters in DR1 for the most part but outside of characters is where I draw my really bad zigzag lines. Noxigar 04:01, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

REAPER REAPER THATS WHAT PEOPLE CALL ME -pmelondemon43y

Why do they call you Reaper, anyways? Noxigar 04:13, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

WHY CAUSE I LIKE TO HARVEST MY CROPS -pmelondemon43y



Rose Lalonde and Kanaya Maryam, two extraordinary detectives also madly in love with each other are called upon by their boss, "J. Whedon" to investigate a shady organization, known as the "United Association of Despair", headed by the illusive "Ramona Day", the beautiful female chairman of the organization.
They find that the organization is a front for a team of legendary assassins who fight among each other to the death for the prize of ultimate fame and fortune and the chance to join Ms. Day as the leaders of the organization, who also have other ulterior motives at hand. Although many people have tried, the only one who has succeeded in rising to the top is a young otaku male from Canada known as "Scotty Touchdown", a former guitar player turned assassin.
As Rose and Kanaya investigate more, they are spotted and are forced to join the organization on pain of death. Being confident in their own fighting skills, the two agree, while at the same time devising a plan to get out of there. While in the holding cells (which are like ordinary hotel rooms), the contestant assassins are advised to sabotage the competition as much as they can, while at the same time avoiding being caught on pain of "execution".
As they try to figure a way out before they're randomly selected by the counter machine, Rose and Kanaya realize that everyone in the holding cells are just like them. Prisoners who also got captured against their will. Several figures such as Naminé Kirigiri, and Byakuya Robotnik, among many others. As tensions rise, the people in the holding cells turn against each other, including Rose and Kanaya, as Kanaya believes that Rose is cheating on her with Naminé. More and more minor characters in the holding cells are sent to battle and are either slaughtered mercilessly or taken to the next level.
After the suicide of Equius Oogami, trying to protect the life of her best friend, Nepeta Asahina, they realize the manipulation that is going on, and they all decide to find a way out of there. After making up, everyone manages to burst out of the holding cells and make their way to the main office of Ramona Day.
As they think the coast is clear, they are confronted by Scotty Touchdown", along with his own specialized group of assassins, the "Seven-X-Psychos". A group fight scene happens, as the survivors are pitted against Scotty and the seven best assassins. Just as hope seems lost, the "Lost Assassin", Dr. Horrible appears and confronts Scotty directly, having a personal vendetta against him due to the fact that he sabotaged his chances to get with Ramona Day. As Dr. Horrible mercilessly pummels Scotty Touchdown, the other elite assassins are finally taken down by the group of survivors, leaving both Dr. Horrible and Scotty Touchdown left, in a brawl of emotions.
Their brawl is quickly stopped by the interference of Ramona Day, who tells them how pathetic they are for giving into their emotions before quickly dispatching them both with her own weapon. Looking upon the carnage, she looks at the survivors and congratulates them on the great job that they have done, offering them all places in her organization. As they all decline, she realizes that it really is the end for her, and instead of letting herself die by the hand of her enemies, impales herself on her laser katana in order to die by her own hand and force the entire game into a sick and twisted draw. Her last words are: "It's too late. Look outside, for the despair has finally begun."
As the group of survivors make their way outside, they find that through some horrible and twisted means, the world has been taken over by Despair, with the entire populace falling into anarchy and chaos. Thinking that hope is lost, they all go together to confront this cruel reality. But a shining glimmer of hope appears in the form of "Katawa Hearts", the symbol of all that is good and hopeful in the world. Rose and Kanaya join hands as they lead the survivors (now a resistance group against the forces of despair) towards Katawa Hearts, hoping to finally liberate the world of "Despair".
I hope you like it, Noxi.

i'm tempted to make it, except for the fact that i hardly finish anything i do make Lex 05:02, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

guys I have an idea for a group thing and need advice

other than that interactive that is
ANYWAYS the idea is, each 'episode', one of the users will write up the basic plot summary (nothing is in the same canon). they will also write up a list of characters, with short defining bios but leaving plenty of room for the player. we'll have to act out and write this story only using these characters, and the summary. there could MAYBE be a points thing but that would mean that the person who lists the characters would have to be a judge and that's unfair to them. WHATDYA THIN? Brerose 05:09, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

whose line is it anyway Lex 05:14, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
similar but not quite! but i'll make it anyways

Actual ways to make the wiki better

NO THIS ISN'T A JOKE. Okay maybe it is because the wiki is a joke but whatever.

I mean, what we're doing here already is pretty great. Wikihood is better than all the old versions.

But it's lonely ever since the chinese cut us off from civilization.

Maybe we could ask Sam to let people join again, and to take out the filter? And then advertise ourselves as a fiction-writing wiki that doesn't take itself seriously?

I'm rambing here, aren't I, sweetie? Brerose 20:28, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

we are literally already miles ahead of you on this
now all we must do is rely on Sam's humanity to give us somewhat acceptable salvation Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 20:38, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm like the long lost choom that never was Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 20:48, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

honestly though no one's gonna fucking join -pmelondemon43y

seriously doe if we build it they will come Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 23:23, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
We shall see if Sam permits. If not, we could just shrug and probably have Wikihood still be the highlight of this wiki. Note this has almost always been the case. Noxigar 02:39, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

also can we delete some of the old crap from 2008-2009 and from the users who don't even come here anymore (unless it was like super great stuff then we put it on the wall for all to see), I think Sam would be happy with less bandwidth taken, and it'd clear it up for us all Brerose 04:42, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

So long as we keep Records of Bell and Bell Quest I am amenable with whatever plan you've got. Noxigar 04:42, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
considering how the other purge went i'm rather wary about any ones in the future Lex 04:43, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
how did the other purge go? If we do it we could avoid how the last one happened Brerose 04:44, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

it's not like we'd lock down the entire wiki Brerose 04:46, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
An astute response, Sirrus. Still, we'd best tread lightly. Who knows if some of the inactive members returned? I've shifted from activity to inactivity through months on end within the last few years. Noxigar 04:47, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
To be honest, I think we should just leave things be unless Sam himself says otherwise. :/ Lex 04:50, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
I agreed with that sentiment. Now to go back to brainstorm Mavericks who join the Katawa Hearts, since I already have two down pat and can conjure a handful more. Noxigar 04:51, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
considering the amount of thought i put into the metaphorical plotting, i actually wanna write a proper version of katawa hearts lol Lex 04:53, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
No I made the Katawa Hearts a group of robots dedicated to reforming Townindale while afloat a fortress called Glagitar. Their goal is simply to do random things in places like Bluehaven at the behest of the Wikihood Gang. Y'know, to give our intrepid heroes some quirky miniboss sidekicks?
Ahhh. Lex 05:32, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Do you guys mind. if I do some advertising? I mean I know no one would probably actually come but. it'd be nice to have more faces to throw our work at Brerose 04:52, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

with my snooping I discovered. we can basically change anything. user ranks, names of api, the entire wiki. is at our finger tips. thought you guys would like to know this Brerose 05:09, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Go ahead. I highly doubt Lex'll stop you. Any reason to get people to circumvent the whole "Choom Gang" nonsense about joining some forum would be nice for most people. After that, let's hope I don't dissuage people from partaking in things with my rambunctious opinionated ass. Noxigar 05:39, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
I also had the idea of maaybe trying to differentiate a lot of the stuff from the old HRWiki and HRFWiki, including ranks and messages and stuff? Those sites are basically dead. Brerose 05:41, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Outliving the HRWiki is my greatest accomplishment. I shall celebrate by joyously enjoying my time here as I proceed to take my Org. XIII cloak and hang it up in favour of something more festive to wear tomorrow while contributing to Wikihood. I still have my Katawa Hearts to make at the behest of Wikihood (4 down, 5 more to go!), and RiffText is a slow but powerful conduit for more amusing schemes. After that, maybe I could do a thing again or something. I could maybe be the Purple Gentian or somesuch, whilst maybe making my opinions more... obvious? Known? What's the word I'm looking for, guys? Noxigar 05:46, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
pronounced? prominent? Brerose 05:48, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Probably. I'd like to see if Lex is still up for trying to make the most anti-me thing ever. Noxigar 05:50, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

So, do you think it'd be possible to update mediawiki with the powers at our disposal? That might be a good way to test our limits, giving this place a fresh coat of paint. Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 05:51, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

In what way? We can find out, I guess! Brerose 05:54, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Compare Wikipedia to us - Wikipedia is updated to the most recent Mediawiki(1.21), with a new layout and a few changes to UI, and we're still here at 1.14. If we could find a way to upgrade mediawiki to the most recent version that doesn't involve bothering Super Sam all hours of the day, that'd be golden. An updated look that resembles some of the other mediawiki sites sounds like a good idea to me, at least. Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 06:02, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
i don't believe we can
sam would have to update it from his computer where the server is
we do not have access to that computer/server, only this wiki itself and what the current mediawiki gives us
therefore, we must harass sam Brerose 06:04, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
Dash it all. I don't want to harass Super Sam just to get some paint. I'd rather we go to Home Depot and get the paint so our glorious leader doesn't have to. Also I'm going to guest-lurk the WUW Forum simply 'cause. Noxigar 06:06, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
This paint would be super nifty though. We could still look for server hosting just incase if we'd like to make our own though. Brerose 06:08, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

we can't do it with a ban on account creation and the fact that we're pursued till death by these spambots isn't going to help in any way Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 05:56, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
My idea:
  • We find writing communities, preferably laid-back ones, to advertise
  • We get an official WUW-staff email, which people can mail their account registration and we set up the account (IMPORTANT PART)
  • We remove some of the older, non-active moderators because screw those guys
  • We clean up some of the GUI and ETC
  • We clean up some of the..unsightly stuff. Like, to the quality of my old work type.
  • We become cool. Probably the hardest part Brerose 05:58, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
Well we'd need to be able to really sell the idea of coming here because nobody seems to want an account as-is Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 06:03, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
does anyone even know how to sign up here
and even if they did
telling them to join some random forum they'll never use and then make a message pretty much would destroy their interest Brerose 06:04, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
I don't think so, anybody who cares enough to want to make an account would probably do it because they felt some sort of unbelievable need to fill some sort of void in their life with this website Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 06:06, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
Well, our main source of new users came directly from the HRFWiki, and with IDC shutting it down, he's basically also shut down our biggest route of access to the rest of the internet. Basically, it's his fault. Lex 06:09, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
The reason being that the majority of the userbase were the people who migrated over because the wiki nixxed the Wiki User aspect of Homestar Runner. Even so, I'd disagree, in that the new user traffic(the ever-controversial fourth gen) came in the form of people who joined this site first, either through just finding it, or during the purge - either way, the fact that we're a separate entity technically shouldn't be holding us back, it's that we're stranded in the middle of the internet with little way to communicate to potential users and in need of a facelift, both internally and externally.

okay so

I think the only solution is a new wiki

once which we could edit and update quickly without having to rely on Super Sam

the only issues are finding someone who knows how to use mediawiki and can get all of our plugins

and someone who can host a server

Main Page Overhaul

WITH THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA, we should overhaul the Main Page. I'll list some ideas below.

  • Remove FotF template: FotF is dead and obsolete.
  • Change Content around. Instead of labeling by genre, perhaps by universe. We can have the 'Wikihood Universe/WUWniverse', the 'Old Universe/Wiki City', and then 'Other/Multiverse'.
  • Nuke the WhosOnline template. No one uses it.
  • Change Wiki Stuff to actually be useful.
  • Streamline colors, maybe?
  • Eventually overhaul the rest of the Wiki.

Obviously we'll probably discuss this on Skype, but the checklist is here so we have stuff to start from. Brerose 22:51, 14 December 2014 (EST)
