Fake News Dear Tucayo and Stooben Rooben, I, Ralphfan, would like to become the official editor of The 'Shroom. My idea for the job is that the articles would be sent to me a few days in advance of the official release of the edition, and I would revise each article. -Ralphfan (el t0rtuga) n,n Contest n,n Oh! thank you very much!!!!!!!! ^,^ Birdoshi n__n sHROOM WRITERS (oops CAPS LOCK ON) i alreday asked who'll stay and here it is: Z3RO TWO, Grapes, Dark Lakitu 789, Jaffffrey, Pink Boozooka, MC Hammer Bros, Dom and SUper Luigi! Number One! are staying Tanokki resigned, R.O.B. 128 hasnt decided and the rest didnt answer Is Hyper Kirby's Section allowed??? PS: I updated the Shroombox ™ I is hungry What was Tanokki's job before he retired? I was wondering because I could fill in for him... probably. User:Dry Paratroopa/sig Monthly Report ™ CHEESE! RE: Long time, no chat! con't Whats up, you??? Ha, ha! I'll be looking forward to Mario (series)'s nomination! I'll probably be all up in both your grill and the grills of those who oppose the article... it will be very exciting. :D The idea of the fuzz busting in on the MarioWiki would make for a great webcomic. I should look into that. >:) Stumpers! 19:44, 29 January 2009 (EST) Shhhh!!! Dude, I'm in school rite now. It's lunch time, and I'm typing this message from the library. What's UP?!!!?! RAP... Shhh... I'm trying to make the list called "Raw Data". ;o It will solve most of the problems I bet... but mostly, we the wiki will have more detailed information and increase the article count to maybe... oh... 10000 articles! I think you show me the links to the goods of Mario stuff so we can use them for the wiki. RAP... RAN OUT OF TIME! LUNCH'S OVER!! Later! I'm back. For a while. It's midnight, and no, not that. See this page! RAP... How are you doing? :3 Shroom again Music Supplier or something like that ™ I like pizza Active So does this mean you are going to stay active, Stooby? YAY! :D :D :D. Wait, before I put another smiley, are you going to stay active here? Clay Mario (talk) Forum Question: Did you change your forum name? -- Son of Suns (talk) Haha. Okay. =) -- Son of Suns (talk) gasps* I hope you stay active, Stoobs. BTW I think there is no of rescuing Userpedia now, because no one likes sprite comics anymore. The whole reason userpedia was created was to move comics of mariowiki. But now one likes them, so there is no reason to have userpedia. Clay Mario (talk) You and 1337 brining it back on MarioWiki? That's great. At least it would increase activity on the ol' MW. I was thinking of a Userpedia namespace on the MarioWiki, but Steve would have to do it, and Steve already has enough work to do. Clay Mario (talk) Oh. I was thinking that too, but I don't have the guts to ask him. I think it would put too much pressure on him. Besides, I think he's pretty ticked off at Paper Jorge for calling him a slow typer. But seriously, I don't know about asking him. Better off storing it on editthis. The iskey.info didn't respond, so I'm assuming it may take awhile. I just created my own wiki instead for my comic. Clay Mario (talk) well anyway, my comic "Lost Wiki" is coming soon on the claymario studios wiki. Do you want to be in it? If so, where can I find your sprites? --Clay Mario (talk) Cool! Is there a link t your sprites anywhere? --Clay Mario (talk) I'll work on the sprite finding. maybe I'll get rip them from your comic. --Clay Mario (talk) Its okay. I'll find them. Anyway, I nominated an article for featured status that I thought looks good. What's your opinion? MarioWiki:Featured Articles/N/Magikoopa --Clay Mario (talk) Guilty Future I can't believe this is the opening to a TV show! It's pwnawesome. Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pZYu1FIAY0&feature=channel_page SJ derp :P Epic. :O — Stooben Rooben 22:07, 31 January 2009 (EST) If you remember me talking about a show called Kodomo no Jikan last August, that's for the second season. There is one episode out for it. The rest of the doesn't come out until next month, though. :( SJ derp :P well, stoobs, I can't seem to find you sprites either. Were the sprites from spriters resource? If so, I can do a recolor for you and upload it to my Clay mario studios wiki. Clay Mario (talk) Photobucket seems like a good idea. I think I checked your imageshack account, but I don't think you had it there. Clay Mario (talk) I made a new sheet that had your sprites, Stooby. Its uploaded om my claymario wiki. Clay Mario (talk) New Segment for The 'Shroom Whoa, sorry for that mixed up, Stooben. Anyway, what'dya think? I can make some comics based on mario characters. Lemme know when if you need a sample of my comic work. Clay Mario (talk) Yeah, I say go for it. I think it should be a section that anyone can participate in though. I think it should be an overall Mario fanon section, where people can submit stories, comics, images, whatever. — Stooben Rooben 23:34, 31 January 2009 (EST) Alrighty, then. I'll upload the image to MarioWiki, and I'll put it on your talk page. ok? Clay Mario (talk) Actually, you should PM it to me, that way I can upload it when the paper comes out. — Stooben Rooben 23:48, 31 January 2009 (EST) It would be funny if someone submitted a Mario parody of Kodomo no Jikan. Too bad it wouldn't be acceptable. SJ derp :P I PMed it to you, Stoob. Hope you like it. :D clay Mario (talk) Fake News It's here! Click here to see the second edition of "The "Real" Fake News"! -Ralphfan (el t0rtug0) So, Stooben, when is the next issue of The 'Shroom coming out? Clay Mario (talk) Oddly Late... Nah, I'm still being patient, waiting for your reply. I'm sure you wouldn't purposely ignore my messages, so I assume you're just getting forgetful. Welcome to the world of amnesia. Dom »» McTalk Still haven't had time to do that big Wario Land: Shake It edit... Does the next edition of the shroom come out next week? Clay Mario (talk) Contest! Hi! ^__^ Birdoshi are you ready?!. Sure. — Stooben Rooben 18:30, 1 February 2009 (EST) Thanks!!, Birdoshi Oh, Grapes ;_; Birdoshi What? :o — Stooben Rooben 18:59, 1 February 2009 (EST) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BcnA3VpMzU&feature=related Look at that. BTW, I'm chewing, like, 9 pieces of gum right now! :O SJ derp :P Lol, awesome. :O — Stooben Rooben 21:37, 1 February 2009 (EST) Time! Birdoshi n.n Wow, everyone's pages are so nice! It's tough to decide... What did you say was reopening on editthis? Clay Mario (talk) Use your pedia. — Stooben Rooben 21:37, 1 February 2009 (EST) hello Yeah I am fine thanks Stooben, and how have you been lately? Mario5x (talk) Ok :) And I am glad to see you back on the wiki k maybe not a lot but at least you are on k. Mario5x (talk) STOOBEN I think Main page that you made is great because the page is not full you get me I think its great k :) Mario5x (talk) Hello again Stooben :P so how are you doing just asking like always k? --File:SAGAMARIO.JPGMario3v (talk)File:SAGAMARIO.JPG 12:35, 5 February 2009 (EST) Stooben you left I was not finish and you did not tell me why. --File:SAGAMARIO.JPGMario3v (talk)File:SAGAMARIO.JPG 18:28, 5 February 2009 (EST) Main Page Stoob, I was watching now that you are attempting to make another possible look for the main mage. I noticed you've employed the recent collapsible function (:P) and it's needed to show every box to watch the content by clicking the "show" link. However, if I could give you a comment, I'd say I see that ridiculous (way simple to say, really) cuz I see you're abusing the collapsible function by hiding the content on every box. In my opinion, you're removing some aesthetic to the main page. Also, the announcement box should be taken off in your main page, because that you brought back "recently on the mariowiki" section, and such announcement is part of what's going on in the wiki... ¢oincoll€ctor I think the current main page's look is better for now... Well, I'm not sure if the featured template needs to be wide, because some featured articles have relatively short summaries, while the collapsible function can be set only for the recent changes section. Another thing, and maybe you didn't notice, sometimes, by adding the collapsible function on many boxes can cause a load page lag, due to the collapsible function works under javascript. ¢oincoll€ctor Adding many things and details for pages lies more time to show then. That's the possible reason why Steve doesn't want further changes for the main page by now. If we had the same properties like wikipedia has, the page would need less than 10 seconds to show everything O.o ¢oincoll€ctor Re:Shroom Yess.... I am still going to write for the shroom... I just signed up....Luigfreak Mai talk Its okay. A while ago I told you, but now its archived. Ill be sure to send it in, the 14th gives me enough time. Luigfreak Mai talk My proposal... Sorry about that, i thought the box was one of those remember my p-word on this computer things. Caution! Your Buddy Bill was [[{{{2}}}|here!]]Sorry Inactive Studying my fatass off :P Super-YoshiTalk? C??? lol didnt i tell you yesterday? There was one last one today and im done. Super-YoshiTalk? C??? Discussion Continued. ;) Well, sir, best of luck to you... :( You seem to be keeping your head up, which is awesome - each time I hear about the situation I gain more respect for you. Feel free to steal the idea, man! I'm not much into webcomics, and currently my artistic talents or lack thereof are being used on the artwork for a video game I hope to make at some point... I figure getting all of the initial image work should help get the ball rolling when I finally learn enough to start poking around with game-age... or maybe I'll just use PowerPoint to make a game! lulz. Hey - about Grubba: you can upload the image with Japanese text, it's still an official version of the game! :) I've also been poking around and found some higher quality, less blurry screenshots for Mr. Needs Glasses Son of Suns. :D ...SoS has a good sense of humor, right *is ready to remove struck-through text* Looking back, the images were comparatively blurry, but they did, as you noted, add drama... anyway, I think these new ones should take care of the article! Stumpers! 18:19, 2 February 2009 (EST) Yeah, if the game gets anywhere I suppose I would have a hard time not showing it to you guys! :) I haven't looked in depth at the personality section yet - I've just been doing the images. But, I should be able to look at it by tomorrow at the latest (due dates... ack!) Stumpers! 19:28, 2 February 2009 (EST) Like Comparing Ice to Lava Nah, you're not at all a failure; forgetfulness is excusable with your current life circumstances... and the minor possibility of amnesia developing (I pray not). Well, trying to administrate 5 places is way too much stress - I wouldn't even try to do that on one site. Oh crop... so my old message was wasted... oh well. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! Neuario thinks he's experiencing heat!?!?!?!?? How ridiculous! My header says all. You see, he lives in Tasmania, the coldest state in the country. After all, it's the closest to the South Pole. Seriously, they've been getting absolutely pathetic temperatures such as 26˚C (or 78.8˚F in the n00b system) while we in Adelaide have remained the hottest city for weeks, with our hottest day a few days ago being 45.7˚C (which is 114.26 degrees n00b... er, Fahrenheit). And it's remained over 40 for heaps of days on end, and at night the temperature rarely drops far below 30˚C. I'm one of the only people at my school whose home does not have air-conditioning. Due to the conditions, my parents finally realized that they're kind of useful to prevent near-death, but... every single place that sells air-conditioners here has sold out. Gee, I wonder why!? For a moment I though you meant with playing the game, lol... as I've 100% completed it. Well, I'll have to do all the initial work first; this weekend will be my only chance. I'll screenshot every treasure in the game and copy the in-game descriptions, then put it all in a big, awesome table on the game article. Once I do that, you can edit it if it sucks, as it probably will since I'm the one doing it. Seriously, nowhere on teh entire interwebs have I found any images of the treasures, or even any of their descriptions... ?_?. Yep, I got Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for my birthday. One of the best games I've ever played, only slightly below Zelda:Twilight Princess which is ultimate awesomeness. And Survive the Heat is a terrible game, the gameplay sucks in particular. And there's no replay value; I have no will to play it ever again. Uh yeah, that was in November lol. It wasn't the japoota, it was the interwebs being upgraded from miserable dial-up to broadband. So yeah, been watching heaps of YT videos. If you want, you can watch my YouTube videos (link on my user page). Hmm yeah... Chat isn't really my thing, sorry. I prefer to be contributing to a Wiki. If this is my last ever message from you.... then that's a sad instance indeed ;_; Dom »» McTalk This year my activeness may drop to near-zero >_> RE: Sysop Board I really don't have a strong opinion on the latest posts, which is why I have refrained from posting myself. Right now I don't have anything constructive to add, but I'll keep an eye on the board as usual.=) -- Son of Suns (talk) Check out the last section on my talk page. -- Son of Suns (talk) Haha. I did tell him that. And that's what he did. =P -- Son of Suns (talk) Hi!! n.n Birdoshi Who won the contest? Hola! And, I'm gonna have to say you did. You all did fantastic jobs editing your userpages, but I like the way to added the Paper Mario badges to your page! — Stooben Rooben 18:38, 3 February 2009 (EST) Oh!, I'm the winner!!!!!!!!!!!! ^o^ ^,^ ^_______^ n,n Birdoshi yay!!!!!!!

Ok, Will you release the warning? ™ Hola!!!} Ok, what about the Fun stuff team, should i give it to them to? ™ ME WANTZ COOKIE RE: Mario series Okay, I added a long response to the nomination page. Also, if you want, you can restore the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi titles to the Chronological Overview. However, just add a Paper Mario and a Mario & Luigi sub-series section to the Spin-Offs area. If we were super strict, we might not include Donkey Kong Jr., as it is not the first game in the Donkey Kong series. Or we might not include Super Mario Land 2, as it is part of the Super Mario Land series (perhaps there should be a sub-series paragraph for that as well, explaining how the Super Mario Land sub-series turned into the Wario Land series through its three titles). -- Son of Suns (talk) Yeah - the article says there are 200+ entries in the series, so it's bound to be gigantic. =P -- Son of Suns (talk) Hello Hello. I am new to this Wiki and I'm trying to make friends. How are you doing? :3 Rookie (talk) I am doing pretty good. I also hate spammers and trolls. ^-^ I recently imported the Nintendo DSi and it's not half bad. I just don't like the removal of the GBA slot. I also pre-ordered Mario & Luigi RPG 3!!!. - Rookie (talk) Hey Stooby. I'm sorry I haven't been online much lately. My life has turned into a teenage drama and I've had that on my mind lately. SJ derp :P Oh, sorry to hear that. :( Is it something I can help with? — Stooben Rooben 22:50, 5 February 2009 (EST) Unfortunately, no. It's all in real life. SJ derp :P I see. So, anything goin' on? — Stooben Rooben 22:58, 5 February 2009 (EST) It's OK, things are starting to get better, so hopefully I'll be back to full activity soon. No, nothing is going on as of now. SJ derp :P Good, I'll be happy to see you around some more. — Stooben Rooben 23:18, 5 February 2009 (EST) Well lets see...So far there's Tori to Mame, Chotto Dr. Mario, Utsusu Made in Wario, Chotto Panel de Pon, some Train Guide thing, Solitare, Art Style games, Paper Plane, Memo Pad, Internet Browser, and some other things. - Rookie (talk) XD I'm kind of disappointed with Panel de Pon's new look though. I mean there are no more fairies and the gameplay is slower than the original... - Rookie (talk) Hi!! ^__^ Birdoshi your signature is cool!! ^o^ Birdoshi I like it! :] Sorry for late reply. It's kind of like the Paper Plane game in WarioWare. - Rookie (talk) New signature ? Cool new sig. it looks great. So what's going on with you? MCHammerBro. Yes, its nice and colorful :) ™ ESYNHIU Okay. I'll PM it to you on February 12 or 13. Grapes WARNING Hi, Stooben Rooben!

Basically, I'm going to be leaving this Wiki... sort of. In other words, I'll probably still comment on Proposals and major, interesting discussions... but otherwise I'll be gone. Oh yeah, and Shroom sections. Which means one less user for you to worry about having to reply to. Seriously, this place just isn't as awesome as it once was. And I'm sick of seeing so much n00bishness and stuff. Oh yeah, and your new sig is pretty cool. But I preferred your old one, personally. Dom »» McTalk Such a pointless way to spend my life...

My computer is screwed up, so is there any other game releases than DK Jungle Beat NPC, NPC Mario Tennis, M&L RPG3, etc.? I could do one on Metroid Prime 2:Echoes New Play Control, coming in April. What do you think?? Hey St00b, nice new sig :D However, I regret to say that I am officially retiring from the Wiki and you're going to have to give someone else the head of the Fake News position. I'm also retiring from the Classic Nintendo Wiki until further notice. Thanks! Glitchman (talk · contribs) Wassup, St00bs? I signed up for the travel guide position of The Shroom. So I PM you my sections before feb 14? Clay Mario (talk) Never mind, you told me on the forums. --Clay Mario (talk) Wario Land: Shake It! Enemy Profile Box Hey Stooby. How are you doing? I have a request, and if you can't do it that's fine. I was hoping to create a "Wario Land: Shake It! Enemy Box," similar to the {{Smrpgenemy}} box. Problem is, I don't know all that complex wiki coding. So I was hoping you could help me make it. The box would be similar to the SMRPG one, although a lot shorter. The top would read "Wario Land: Shake It! Enemy," followed by the picture, then the name (again, like the SMRPG enemy box). Then only one more line would be needed - it would say "Threat" on the left side then have three outlines of red stars on the right side that could be filled in as needed. This profile is based on the official player's guide, which ranks the "threat level" of every enemy with stars. Let me know if you can pull this off. Thanks! -- Son of Suns (talk) Oh actually they are black star outlines. Really any color would do, as long as one was filled in and one was an outline. -- Son of Suns (talk) How about these? File:StarOutline.png File:RedStar.png P.S. There are three stars for every enemy, and I believe at least one is filled in for each. -- Son of Suns (talk) Sorry about that. You can change the template if you want, and then you or I could go through the enemies I put templates on (I got all of them; the other enemies don't have articles or need to be merged). Whatever you want to do. And thank you so much!! -- Son of Suns (talk) Alrighty. With those templates in place, I can begin updating the enemy articles (they need some help...). =) -- Son of Suns (talk) P.S. Thanks again!!! Ye@ HAY. I need something to do for the Shroom, so plz halp. □R.O.B. 128□ 11:33, 9 February 2009 (EST) Mario Cartoon Articles Thank you for your comment! When I first joined the Wiki two years ago, I noticed that there just wasn't much coverage devoted to articles related to the cartoons. However, Sir Grodus was starting to do writeups at the time, so I figured that I'd help wherever I could. I know that there's still many gaps to fill, and it will take time to complete everything, but I'll keep doing my best when I get the chance. I'm glad to hear that people are enjoying my writeups. You keep up the good work too! -- Booster (talk) Sub-Director Notes! Hi Stooby! What should i talk about in the Sub-Director Notes??? ™ I Love Reese's!!! More Re: Err... Now it's my turn to take forever to respond... Life's being unfairly hectic to us all as of late, it seems <_> I've made one new friend outside the MWiki over the last four years (we watch Death Note and horror movies whenever we hang out - it's pwnsome), though I have a couple good acquaintances at school. That's basically my outlook on it all too: life sucks and then you die. (I got that from TV, but I don't remember what show it was...) I'm pretty good at math, though sometimes I can't get the simplest things - it's quite irritating. Lol, thanks. My grammar's actually improved immensely over the last couple years; the only thing I learned in school recently was how to use semicolons (after five years of failure), everything else I got from reading and writing fanfiction, and editing the MWiki. - Walkazo 22:59, 10 February 2009 (EST) Epic Final Words... ;_; Well, Stooben... reverse psychology is too confusing. I'll be fine... I was born here and have lived here my whole life, so I guess I'm used to it, despite hating it so much. And, er... 119˚F - well, I won't bother converting that since it's higher than the temp I mentioned to you about here, therefore ridiculously, insanely scorching. But I must ask: How long were you in such heat? If longer than half and hour, I don't blame you for anticipating oblivion. Awesome games are awesome. I hope the new Mario and Luigi RPG pwns Partners in Time and recaptures the awesomeness of the original Superstar Saga. That's like one of the best GBA game ever made... IMO. I have a very complicated mind, Stooben... so many of my actions have complicated causes. I don't even understand some of the things I do in life. Leaving the Wiki (well, mostly... as I said, just occasional checking stuff) is something that feels like it was bound to happen soon. And I've lost my sense of attachment to this place. Back last February when I joined, it was my first true online community that I'd ventured into. I loved it. Heaps of similarly-interested peoples with similar school status issues... Mario game dedication, etc. But now, I am a raver with the hardstyle flavour (that was a line from my favourite song) I don't feel the same here. I really don't like n00bs, unless they're very kind and make unusually good edits. But of course, n00bs have been here since I have, so how it that different? Make of that what you will, for I cannot comprehend it myself. And I was really sick of having edits reverted. Of course, that is part of the essential Wiki mechanism. So why do I take such personal hurt from this? Another thing related to my non-virtual life. I'm writing a lot here, as it may be my last "normal" message to you. In my time at the Wiki, I can honestly say I have never created any accounts other than the one you know me for, nor have I ever vandalized any article. Just thought I'd say. Looking back, the only significant edits I've done were uploading heaps of Brawl trophy images, adding huge amounts of info to the Brawl article, and writing stuff on the Earth Tremor page, lol. Apart from that, I was just a random gnome doing gnome work. Maybe there should be a new rank below Patroller - Gnome. Special abilities - none. Speaking of Patrollers, that had somewhat of an effect on me, seeing that rank come back. At first, I thought something like "Awesome... I might actually get promoted, since Sysop status is a long way off..." so I became slightly more active. I'll admit that I even took advantage of my friendship with you as a better chance to be promoted, due to your Awesomeness rank. (or Bureaucrat, whatever it's called) Quite typical of human nature, would you agree? But when I saw several others getting promoted, I had mixed emotions. At first, a sliver of envy. Because I checked their oldest Contribs and saw they were much newer to the Wiki than me. But then I thought they're much more deserving of the position, since I always have to spend time responding to fan mail messages. At one point I felt like acting unfriendly just to stop getting heaps of messages. Heh, funny. I have no idea how you cope with your popularity. Must be like being a celebrity - can't do anything without getting attention. Oh no, a random celebrity picked her nose! Who gives a fudge-eating duck!? I hate celebrities that love themselves. Anyway, off topic that is. Oh, and did you just say you were contemplating a promotion for me when I became a bit more active? *bangs head* *repeats* *and again* *yep* *pain* *hospital* *mental hospital* *grave* Let's try and prolong this rant, shall we? Yep. I actually didn't become very popular in my time here. Maybe because I was too weird, or just too random. But if someone says "Mario Wiki" many years in the future (hope I'll still be alive, what with global warming and stuff...), one thing will come to mind. And that is... you. Yes, you were the awesomeness that made me stay here so long. The Mario Wiki is only so vibrant and welcoming with your presence. I'm very glad I introduced myself to you shortly after joining. We both ought to check out that first message in your archives, as I think I wrote some funny crap. I imagine you will remain here for many months to come, and I wouldn't be shocked if Steve promoted you to Uber-Administrator-Dude or something. I should also thank Steve before I leave. Whoa, that rhymed. Random: I recently said to Hess at school "I know Stooben's real name... it's Ben Rubenstein" - and he was like "awesome". And I lol'ed and said "You n00b, I just made that up. But I think his first name is Ben." - I read that on your Userpedia page ages ago, so don't be shocked. But if that is your real last name, we both ought to be shocked. I doubt it though. Sorry to bore you with my Wiki life story... but I like doing this kind of stuff. If you don't already, I highly recommend you keep a diary. Yes, the topic is real-life now. I wrote in one every day in 2008, and at the end of the year I read it through and it really was a fascinating read. My life could become a TV show. I often wrote about stuff on the Wiki, and your name was mentioned many times. Another thing I recommend for you: Hypnosis treatment to cure/help your insomnia. I'm immune to most forms of non-physical treatment, but this certainly fixed up my "night life". Oh yeah, and it's funny how we often say "real life" as though the internet is non-existent... really it's very, very closely tied to our non-virtual lives. Well, mate </aussiestereotype>... I guess this is my final long message to you. If it took you a long time to respond to my last one, then I'll wait at least 3 months for a reply to this :P. And as you would obviously have noticed, this is not a PM but available for the world to see. Make of that what you will. I'll miss this Wiki, but I'll miss you the most of any user here... Heck, some random guy in Finland could be documenting our conversations and making a movie about it. The internet is just scary like that. And, er... lol at sun-tan lotion - well, here's a line from the most recent episode of Good Game, Australia's only local TV show by gamers, for gamers... and about games :O. One of the 2 guys said "I opened the window the other day but I got sunburnt, so I play in darkness now". I LOLed at that. Oh, and... no need to apologise - you are the kindest user here, and so anything that may have slightly offended me would probably have been due to your life circumstances putting stress on you. How can I write on my status, without sounding unfriendly, that no-one should bother talking to me from now on unless it's extremely important? Dom »» McTalk Some things change, but randomness remains M&SG Sysop Board Thanks for the information. Sadly though, I can't access the forums, due to the fact that my account name has a character that I'm not allowed to use on a forum username. M&SG (talk) 08:07, 11 February 2009 (EST) Well, thanks anyway. M&SG (talk) 08:48, 13 February 2009 (EST) No Article This Month!

Corka Cola Ohh sh** :O lol you just taught me something, thanks =3. Tho one time I didn't put a space on the redirect thingy and it showed #Redirectarticletitle. Weird :\. but w.e lol Super-YoshiTalk? C??? More Template Help Hey Stooby. Could you help Stumpers and I out? We have a request for three templates on the main talk page. Unfortunately Stumpers and I are not very good at making templates. So I was wondering if you could help us out. A lot of the coding can be found on Wikipedia, if needed. Thanks! -- Son of Suns (talk) Template: TV Yep, I saw that in the color box from wikipedia. You know? While at University, I see the ghostwhite color in a pink tone too from the screen of some computers O____o ¢oincoll€ctor Lol, certainly. However, you can change the TV infobox template's color scheme for another better if you wish... I'll make some minor changes if it's necessary (^_^)b ¢oincoll€ctor Featured List Status Stooben, how you doing?
