Okay, I've got some problems with the current state of this page.

I fixed the first sentence (primarily singular->plural), some native speaker please check if it's correct now.

I'm pretty sure the Rant-o-Matic was *not* written by Ang, but rather by Bacillen based on an idea by Ang. I fixed that. Someone please confirm I'm right (it links to Bac's old server anyway...)

I think 'ABSORB THE MINES!' and 'Kumshot' need more explanation. I guess CoD was talking ironically about flying through them until they are depleted, but that's not explained. In the 'Kumshot' section, the two sentences kinda contradict each other ("god-like skills" vs. "bouncing off"). That needs to be resolved if the intention of the page is to explain the memes to those who don't know them.

"+1" might be a spamming meme in the Alleg community, but the meme generally isn't spammish at all! I know it mostly from the mailing lists of various open source projects, where it's used as a reasonable and expected response to suggestions. You reply with "+1" and some explanation if you want that feature to be implemented. "+0" if you think it's a good idea but not really necessary. "-0" if you don't care that much, but don't bother either. And "-1" if you think it shouldn't be done. Usually followed by an explanation. Example: "Can we add RSS support?" -- "+0, I don't personally need it, but I'll commit it if you send me a patch."
So I think the current explanation is very misleading. If you want to describe the Alleg usage, it should really be moved into the Alleg section, not the general internet one.

I'm pretty sure 'Whoring' is not an Allegiance meme. I've heard it in various other games, I think even in gaming related TV shows. And considering the history, I also doubt it originates from Allegiance and made its way all around the games community. I'm not against having it on the list (I think it has to be there), but I find the description very misleading.

I, too, consider the "one sector strat" worth adding.

Someone please review and rephrase my NQIS section. I'm really not good at writing encyclopediac acticles.

Done. Have a look and re-edit if you don't like the style

I take the three months of no disagreement as agreement, so I made those changes.

Still hoping for someone to add the 'one sector strat'.
