What aboot, a wiki?

Would you, or wouldn't you use/like a wiki.finalgear.com? We could slap searchable episode guides on them, exchange cliches about american cars, actual information etc.

Additional ideas to put on the wiki are welcome.

Vote!

Suggested to Viper a long while ago, never said anything about it..

I think it would be a great way to put episode information together, transcripts, photos, etc.

I think it would be fun. More infamous events and members (mopar_man) could have their own entries too. Would be humorous images/smilies/biggrin.gif

It seems like a good idea. Of course, the ability to modify it would have to be restricted to registered members, and it can be taken away by a mod/admin.

There ought to be user submitted info and people to mod it so not everyone can post what they like...a more controlled wiki but still open to all who wish to add info.
