MUScoop Wiki

This is an old revision of the document!

So, care to explain why “muscoopsucks”?

I just chose that as an e-mail name when I was forced to register, just to lurk on the message board.

What about the name “biteme”? You're obviously very committed to the wiki project, doesn't having “biteme” littered around the wiki make it look bad?

I chose biteme for the same reason I chose muscoopsucks. I thought it would represent my disdain for the registration requirement, without getting me banned from lurking, like a screen name like “muscoopsucks” might. When I did lurk, I thought it would look funny listed with all the other names on the bottom of the board. I don't sweat it's presence on the wiki, as it's not like bitme is listed in clear view. It's buried on the revisions tab, which most people never see.

Well, there was a simple reason we (briefly) forced people to register. We wanted to make an attempt at converting lurkers into contributors. Of the ~700 people who registered during our three, 3-day periods of forced registration, about 80 of them have posted to date. Only 10%, but it adds some fresh perspective. You registered, and now look, you're probably our #1 wiki editor. – You can see why it would be discouraging to be told your system “sucks” when the two guys (Rocky and Spiral) who provide this as a free community are doing so at their own expense of $2k/year with zero revenue. Just because they are nice guys who love basketball. Yeah, they, and muscoop, sure sucks. Amazing you see fit to read the forums and contribute the wiki so much.
