Suppose that there were a CBRWiki.* It would detail the history of the site, the various permutations that have come and gone, and (of course) the posters.
Would you make a Wikipedia entry for yourself? (Of course you would! If you don't, sooner or later Howya, Alex and Paul McEnery will make one for you late one night while they're bored at Rita's; and who knows where that will lead?)
Anyway, what would your CBRWiki entry say? And what other CBR institutions/habits/peculiarities would warrant an entry?
*Actually, there already is a CBRwiki (http://www.cbrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page). It deals with (yawn) Community-Based Research. So I guess this would be the Commboardwiki, or something like that.

Think of all the entries about wolves! (Well, all three of them...)

I gave iwarrior a wikipedia page once. It even had a photo of him.
It didn't last long.

The mind boggles. (Though I suppose iwarrior would definitely warrant an entry on this wiki.)
What did it say about him? Did the wiki people cite potential libel as a reason for removing it, or just the usual not-meeting-standards-for-biographies?

A shame, really!

Forefinger started this one, but like the iwarrior page, it wasn't meant to last:

"Iwarrior was a poster at Jonah Weiland's Comicbook Resources who lives in his mom's basement. He is famous for posting candid photos of a girl who worked at a Subway. Someone started a Subway girl death pool but the forum moderator closed the thread."

I once put down that Jonah was a Clippers fan, but it got yanked.

He posted pics?
And you left out that he dressed like a gay lumberjack!

He did indeed. Got them by Googling the Subway-girl's name online.

I didn't know that. I saw the candid ones he took of her at work.
