I've noticed that the brothers chaps have pretty much shut down operations on the Homestar runner site. It's a sad thing really because I loved their humor and really enjoyed watching it each week.
One thing I have been wondering is how they are paying the bills now? I know that neither of them had jobs outside the site and made their money by selling merchandise. A venture that is sure to dry up now that they are no longer updating the site.
I still wonder at their decision to not sell ad space on the site. Sure, they didn't want to be "sell outs" but that is something that people with no opportunity to make money say. What's so bad about a few "click here" ads on the page. You make a ton of money and if you do it right it doesn't annoy the people too much. Seems like such a wasted opportunity. I hope they are feeling really good about not "selling out", because that opportunity has stopped knocking.
