Article obviously created as vanity/insult. Not sure if it's common enough of a term to bother rewriting for wiktionary. --InShaneee 20:35, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Not a term I'm familiar with, but it gets 21,200 Google hits. Clean and Transwiki I guess. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:33, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)
- It's a term widely used for people who post either too much on a board, or post too much nonsense just to get their post count up. It's notable, but I'm not sure if it's something Wikipedia needs to document. It's definitely an Internet phenomena, but without checking, I'm sure we got plenty of those covered.

- Keep. I've heard the term several times over the last few months at a variety of message boards. Seems to be gaining ground as a popular term. Khanartist 01:18, 2005 Jan 16 (UTC)
- Common term, but one for wiktionary. Transwiki - David Gerard 14:22, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Move to wiktionary and/or merge and redirect to some appropriate article on message board slang. Psychonaut 18:15, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
