Francis declares that he shall take "hi-technicaaaal" pictures of [[Tippi]], whom he calls Francine, and post them all over the forum. After he creates [[Tiptron]], Francis mentions how Tiptron earned him the "Elite Nerr" status on digibutter.nerr's forums. | ||
Its name comes from '''digi'''tal '''butter'''flies, which many of the forum members seem to enjoy. Its .nerr top-level domain seems to be derived from Francis's quirk of constantly saying "nerr," an impediment he may share with other members of Digibutter.nerr. | |||
