About The Keepers Of Lists Last Updated: Monday, 01-Apr-2002 13:07:58 EST
The original Keepers of Lists were members of a humble order who took as their calling the grand responsibility of
maintaining "the lists". Lists were submitted by apostles all over the world. The Keepers allowed the
apostles to vote on list items & submit new lists in order to develop better lists.
The order disappeared from the public eye in late 1996. The website before you is
presented in honor of the brothers & sisters of the original Order of the Keepers of Lists.
It is our hope to re-establish the grand traditions of the order and do justice to the founding
Keepers.
In honor of the original Keepers of Lists, we maintain an archive of the "Ancient Lists" from the
original website (found after exhaustive searches on dusty scrolls tucked away in the dark corners of the Internet)
If you know of any ancient lists we missed, please let us know the URL.
We have made many attempts to contact the founding Keepers to discuss this site with them, however our efforts were not fruitful.
We hope they approve of our work!
The purpose of the Keepers of Lists is to allow apostles (Internet Users) to submit ideas for new lists
and also new items for new lists. The lists are dynamic. As new items are added, other apostles vote on those items.
A vote of 'Yea' will help move an item higher in a list. A vote of 'Nay' will help move an item lower in a list. Over time
the list 'improves' as the best items are voted to the top.
Submitted lists from apostles are reviewed by the Keepers and those lists deemed worthy are published.
A new list is published each day so check back often.
We hope you enjoy this website as much as we enjoyed building it!
