By now, you’ve probably seen the links here or elsewhere in the mainstream capper media, ArchHallJr has gone ahead and created a Capper Wiki. Since I’ve already sent Arch’s press release to the mailing list, I’ll just offer a few of my own thoughts on this project. This is a very cool chance for the cappers to turn the fuzzy legends and inherited stories into something a little more solid. If it’s gonna happen, I hope everyone pitches in to make sure it happens well. Especially the folks who’ve been capping since the early days. If you remember capping Amplewoman, Land of the Giants, The Six Million Dollar Man, and the days when it was just “Caption This!“, think the word is captioneer, not capper, or are still pissed you never won a demmy get over there and make sure the story’s straight before somebody decides “Oh Hell No” was the first thread.

Of course, this place isn’t just about history - it’s about remembering all the people who’ve made capping the vast arctic wasteland that it is and sharing your profile info to prove you’re cooler than they are.

But of course, since it’s a wiki, who knows exactly what it’s gonna be? So, get over there now and help make sure it’s shaped by clever sweet smelling people.

And while I have your attention, go get our fancy new buttons so you can link to IS and WPT in style (and find out how to get your own site linked from this blog)! And there’s a button available from the capper wiki too. How conveeenient!

And vote in the Wasting Precious Time poll on the right, so I can actually make it a decent site.
