[site bug] Wowhead Looter pointless?

I've had the wowhead client installed for months and been uploading data regularly (usually right before I start playing). Now I was hoping to see some sign of my uploads, so I noted that Blackwater Deckhand (
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=2636
) had at the time a measly 125 kills. Since I was (and still am) killing these guys for rep I knew I'd see big changes for this mob. I've even seen a few loots of items not on the loot list here on wowhead (last one was a grey leather hand-slot vendor trash item).
But even with at least 300+ kills over the last 2 or 3 months, I've seen the page for the Deckhands change once from 125 kills to 137 kills.
What gives? I'm about ready to just uninstall the damn thing if the data I gather isn't even going to be used...

All of the data that's submitted by the Wowhead Looter is processed by hand by Mystadio. It's time consuming work, and we only have one person to do it. We had a lot of users in the recent past intentionally submitting private server data in an attempt to "see if they could make it onto Wowhead", making the parsing and processing that much more difficult--and add on to that some travelling, midterms, AND the character profiler everyone is clamoring for, and Mystadio is a pretty busy guy. There's a backlog of old data that Mystadio is working his way through right now, which probably contains your submitted data. He was about 1/8th of the way through it last time I checked on him, so hopefully it'll be up soon. :)

Did you remember to throw some food into the cage this time? Wouldn't want to have to defibrillate again.

Good to know, and thanks for the quick response.
