How come the at-wiki isn't more popular?

I love the who's who section... it had me cracking up for a good part of the day. Especially the bits about Ornery, HotChic and others :)

It's a nice little wiki. I've skimmed through most of it... not really sure what to add though.

Perhaps if people weren't so childish with some of the contributions sensible people would take it with more than a grain of salt.

Affirmative.

I always try to get people to update it, but unless someone reaks havoc with the who's who section or edit's their actual name no one really cares. :(

I really want to update it since I keep track of funny quotes and sh!t just to mess with people. The issue is that first I haven't looked for how to update a wiki, and the second is that I have way too much other sh!t to do. Feel free to update your entry RossMAN. Here ya go:

Rossman Quizno's meal deal:
Medium Black Angus steak sub
Bowl of clam chowder
Medium soft drink

New Rossman Quizno's meal deal:
Medium Black Angus steak sub with horseradish sauce
Small bag of your favorite chips
Medium soft drink

it's never good to turn into a "RossMAN"

Susan and I bought some Florida's Natural orange juice last weekend because they were on sale 2 for $5. Well each of them rang up at $3.67 or something obscenely expensive amount like that. So I calmly protested that the sales ad AND sign said 2 for $5. This held up the entire line, so I felt like a major a$$hole ;) quibbling over barely over $1.00 just for OJ. Well she came back and shocked us, apologized, said I was right, and since it was a pricing ERROR we got 1 of the OJ's for FREE and the other was $2.50.

What happened there?

LoKe - Manages the list of Lifers and members deserving recognition. He also exploited a bug which allowed him to log into Anandtech Moderator and commit acts of awesomeness.

This page in particular could be very useful if it had more info (and if people used it more). We all see how often people post about inexpensive HDMI and other cables here, and the answer is invariably monoprice.com. Probably half the info on that page was added by me, which is why it is mostly limited to stuff that interests me - computers, photography, batteries, etc.

The "Who's Who" section is my least favorite and the least useful section of the wiki, but people seem to love that one.

From what I gathered, he pwned the fusetalk forums.

How come I'm not on there? I'm super, I'm sonic, and am a snail. :p

Ive always wanted to see an "Elite Members" list. Theres quite a number of them, and I dont know *why* most of them are elite outside of a few. I know its usually given to overly helpful members, but Im not as active as other users,and dont know *how* some of the people have been helpful.

It's nothing more than a list, but here.
