Negative view
Could we get some better quotes from Mojang? The ones we have now are fairly outdated and make it seem like they still hate Herobrine (which we can see from more recent references and jokes that they do not). It looks like whoever added them really resents this page existing. --Moxxy 03:31, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It was an unspoken part of a compromise with Quatroking to get the page up at that time.
 * but as you can see, especially with the headers, we are breaking through these more and more. I think those comments are the second-to-last to go. then it's trying to get rid of the Mojang header at the top.
 * I will be more than happy to add updated comments/quotes. but, the issue is contact. they only reply once in a blue moon. but, if any of them do, tell me! :P --Kizzycocoa 08:37, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * You didn't even have to tell me and I knew it was Quatroking. Way back in 2010 me and him had many heated debates and I've come to know his likes and dislikes. Those quotes just screamed that their addition was his doing :P --Moxxy 03:23, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * ah, I see. touché. Quatroking's a good guy, but dead-set in his opinions on pages. I suppose we all are in a way. I was against the Giant page, as they're a prefix. It happens to us all I guess.
 * still, I implore you to find more quotes. we'd love to have them! :) --Kizzycocoa 11:44, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Well, add this statement of Notch from Twitter "Herobrine has never been in the game, ever." 28 Jan 2012; Reference http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/163283361215938560 Demhter 00:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Page Changes
I think that the whole creepy-pasta stuff should be removed and be replaced with something better - maybe lore? I guess it is. Keep it up to standard, guys. MagicCreeper 07:32, 2 May 2012 (GMT)
 * The creepy-pasta stuff is where it all originated from. there's no way to avoid it, or dress it up as lore.
 * Herobrine was a Minecraft slenderman, but unlike slenderman, has become a large part of the medium it emerged from. I would gague that 80-90% of all minecrafters will visit this page at some point.
 * But, ignoring that, Herobrine has become a meme, a legend, an icon and an intergral part of Minecraft lore.
 * But while that is amazing that one community figure can be all that, we must not forget his origins was as a lowly creepypasta. As a wiki, we have a duty to make all information about this subject factual. and Creepy-pasta is the most factual thing ever.


 * I've really run with this post. bored and at college. sorry! XD --212.219.0.20 10:02, 2 May 2012 (UTC) (Kizzycocoa)

Creepypasta and definition
First, there is NO dash in creepypasta. second, a creepypasta is not a "Creepy story" it is nightmare-inducing block of text that is copied and pasted over and over again through the internet. i just wanted to point that out. Maxwell the scribblenaut 14:06, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The dash is there to aid others who may not know of the phrase. it cuts it into two, pronounceable parts for ordinary users.
 * Yes. a creepypasta. let me break it down.
 * Creepypasta
 * Creepy Pasta
 * Creepy Paste
 * AKA A creepy story, copied over and over. so it is a creepy story.
 * whether it is creepy is debatable. but that is the definition. --Kizzycocoa 15:28, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Pronounciation
Many are likely to rage at me for the pronounciation part at the top, but there are many mispronounciations about Herobrine flying around, so it had to be added. I hope I got the layout right. If not, can users tell me what I should put? the correct pronounciation of the name can be heard at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orgj-d8cDPo This is how Mojang, Brocast and nearly all users pronounce it. As Brocast is, in part, what made Herobrine, we can only consider this version as canonical, as it predates all other records of Herobrine in audio form. If users can help me capture that pronounciation better in words, or can record it in a clear way, that would be appreciated. For help, please add me on Skype or steam, both use the same as my username. if you plan to go ahead without my help, please lay it out as so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hyo9NbnZzc --Kizzycocoa 02:21, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Isn't the pronunciation just the same as saying the two words separately? Hero-Brine? Or are you claiming it's different? --timrem 02:33, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * More or less. But with "brine", some people do not pronounce the I. They say it much like "brin". Some also say "hiro" instead of "hero". But it's hard to convey that in a way must users will instantly pick it up. Those who say brin obviously think brine=brin, so trying to make that clear? In words? Hard. --Kizzycocoa 02:38, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * /hɪroʊbraɪn/, if I got the IPA correct (all I did was merge the two from wiktionary). Not that I find IPA particularly helpful for pronunciation :P --timrem 02:49, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If I put that, he'll be called Hirobrain, which is not how he's called.
 * We need to make it simple, or have an audio equivalent. I myself do not know if that pronounces his name right, but it would definitely confuse the everyday users. --Kizzycocoa 13:05, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
