Anyone Famous Here?

Well, technically, I am an internationally known writer-- but "famous" might be pushing it just a tad. :rommie:
 
I think a more important question is whether or not there's anyone infamous posting here. ;)
 
Like checking that the email address she posted specifically so they could verify who she is matched the one on her website, then emailing her and asking.

Ah. And it wouldn't have been possible for anyone to stumble across Chase's website, see which email address was posted there, and then impersonate her *here* using that?

Not so, I think. To then activate the account, you would need actual access to that email address's inbox.

Such a person would not be able to reply to the email though, would they.

How are those rocket science lessons going?
 
Chasegate was pretty great.

No I am not famous, though I do interact with famous people fairly often.
 

Anyone else find the board having a wiki page weird? ;)

I am just wondering if someone is famous and sees and idea on here...will they use it or whatever.

It wouldn't surprise me. I've seen a few good ideas on high profile (well, high membered) places, even jokes ripped word for word. I thought it was general paranoia until a joke I made was ripped off (even then I didn't take it seriously, but it was still odd)

It does bring to mind an interesting point, though. If a famous person were to post here, how would we ever be able to know with 100% certainty that it's really them? Anyone can come on here and claim to be whoever they want to be.

Very true. Though you can check and confirm identities easily enough.
 
ChaseGate was pretty awesome.

When Shatner posted, I seem to remember his daughter had contact with someone on the staff before he came on. He did post, I remember reading it. I think he had a gold username and everything.

Mike Sussman has posted here as well. I exchanged some emails with him after In a Mirror, Darkly premiered.
