Ooh, nice! Did you get the tape that goes with it, too? —Scott ( talk ) 02:43, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ha, I knew you'd like that. I didn't actually get this one -- I found a listing on Ebay: . Maybe you could get it? Just the book though. -- Danny (talk ) 02:44, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Edit conflict :) I just noticed the eBay watermark and the listing says no cassette :(  —Scott ( talk ) 02:45, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Twittering
You're having entirely too much fun on Twitter. (By the way, thanks for giving Jesus Christ a shout-out!) -- Ken (talk ) 21:13, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

MST3K page
Two questions: why did you change my quotes from the KTMA episodes (they are word for word what is said on the show) and why did you set it for no table of contents? Unless I've mis-quoted (and I'm pretty sure I haven't), I think they need to reflect what is actually said, not correcting for grammar ("whenever I see") or accuracy of the song (Mahna Mahna). I'm less concerned about the TOC, but I'm not sure why you would want to hide it away. Darth Prefect 02:36, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that -- I was just doing a little copy-editing and trying to make it look consistent. It's hard to express the "Mahna Mahna" jokes in text -- if a reader doesn't realize that it's a "Mahna Mahna" reference, then seeing "bee dee be dee dee" doesn't mean anything. Know what I mean? But you're right -- if that makes it a mis-quote, then it's probably not worth it.


 * I hid the TOC because it was basically just a list of seasons at the top, rather than letting people get right to the fun part of the page. -- Danny (talk ) 02:41, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Question
What does the "best known" template do, and where is it on the template list?

P.S. Thanks for all the new commercials! -- Ken (talk ) 01:49, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I talked about it on Current events a month ago... I'm just getting around to using it now. :) -- Danny (talk ) 02:02, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, I remember that now! Can I put the template category on it, or are you still messing with it? -- Ken  (talk ) 02:13, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure, go ahead! -- Danny (talk ) 02:14, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, it's there now. I wasn't sure because I didn't see any sample coding like the book template, so I didn't know if you had it the way you wanted it. -- Ken  (talk ) 02:25, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Wiki-Conference New York
Danny- We met at Wikimania in Boston; hope you are doing well. Anyway, a Wiki-Conference is being held in NYC late next month. They are planning some panel discussions and they're looking for someone who started a wikia project for one of the panels (see panel B-3). If you're interested, you should volunteer yourself. I'm not 100% sure I'm going to the conference; I've got an infant at home so it's not as easy to bug out for the weekend as it used to be. Rafael

PS It looks like this wiki always puts new talk page comments at the top; Wikipedia is the opposite. I dropped you notes once or twice a couple years back, but I put them at the bottom of the page and you probably never saw them.

Badly sized advertisements
My first visit to your site and I immediately hit a problem that really bothered me. I went to a character page and an advertisement was covering the first couple of paragraphs of the article.

There was no way to close the ad.

Refreshing the page a couple times I saw that many ads came up this way, but ones for WoW and Vonage and bing ( first time bad, next time okay ) came up in a narrow bar above the main article. I suspect that is what is supposed to happen with all the ads, but something is allowing ads to post that are not formatted properly for that space.

Interesting, if you create an account and sign on, there are no ads on the character pages that were showing this problem. This may be why the problem persists, because regular users don't see it?

Signed on, I've found a few pages that show ads, but none were out of place or the wrong size. -- User:Tudza 14 June 2009


 * Thank you very much for letting me know! I know what you're talking about; it's an occasional problem that seems to have come back in the last few days. I'll report this to the technical folks, and hopefully they'll get it fixed right away. And, you're right -- when you're logged in, you don't see any ads -- so please feel free to stay logged in! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:41, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Richard Hunt
Thanks everyone for your amazing website. I'm writing a zine on Richard Hunt's life and work, and this site is invaluable. What a fitting tribute to the Muppets. --max

The Mystery Solved
Hey, Danny! An "O-sleeve" is what they call the cardboard sleeve that goes around a DVD. Personally, I don't know why they make them, since they usually have the exact same artwork that's on the case anyway, even down to the fine print on the bottom of the back cover, so it's just a waste of cardboard. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:53, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * But the mystery is... Why "O"? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:39, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It stands for Outer. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:02, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I guess because if you look at it looking down through the hole, it kind of looks like an "O" with squarish edges. It's like how a cassette card is called a J-card, and a back cover CD panel (which also contains the spines) is called a U-card.  (And now I've got "Would you like to buy an O-sleeve?" in my head.) -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:04, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

New topic
Trying out the New topic link above to see if it adds a new section to the top of the page. —Scott ( talk ) 01:40, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk input
Could put some input on the question here on combining some of the song categories? - Oscarfan 19:39, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
