I've just checked the b3ta entry on Wikipedia
I'm no longer mentioned. Nor is Bert or CHCB or Chickenlady or Frank or anyone.

Somebody must dislike us.

I HATE us

Nah, not really, I'm just kidding. I love you all like I love Jamaica Ginger cake.

YUMMY.

Yeah I noticed that as well
Although I wasn't mentioned anyway. But I did like the comment about frank's posts being either highly sexual or in poor taste.

Why
does this mystery b3ta-historian feel the need to suggest that frank's posts are often highly sexual in nature OR in poor taste?

I've seen plenty that are both.

@PJM
It appears that you do, now.

Someone has corrected the omission.

And people accuse you guys of being cliquey
I can't imagine why...

^^We are not a clique.
A clique is a group of people who do not accept outsiders into it's bosom. We do accept outsiders if they wish to join in our japery and fun-filled shinannigans.

Just thought I'd clear that up.

@BGB

I'm not denying most QOTWers are loverly and friendly folk, but surely providing a list of user names on Wikipedia, thereby excluding others (albeit accidentally) is typical cliquey behaviour?

Just a thought...

@Pavlov
I suspect we were named as we use 'offtopic' the most. I doubt whoever listed us there meant that we were a small and select few.

^ but
I rarely use the Off Topic board (though I realise this is a self-defeating claim as I'm making it in an off-topic thread).

Anyway, Wikipedia is unreliable by definition. My students aren't allowed to use it as a primary source. The fact that I get material for my lectures from it is neither here nor there...
