What happens when people read your blog?
This entry will be very, very meta.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog entry discussing a forum where (and I said) "a majority of developers, publishers, and journalists go to discuss the latest in video games."
I wrote the entry, simply because I had nothing to blog about recently, and I thought my friends would be impressed with my "l33t" skills in finding this "secret" message board. However, the LAST thing I ever expected happened. The people on these forums, found my message board.
Gary Whitta, the columnist who led me to the forums, was the one who posted my blog entry to the thread. It expanded to a five-page thread, where they made fun of me (I'm not offended, some of it was pretty funny), and ripped apart my impressions of the board.
After talking with one of my friends, I decided, that I needed to get on my board and reply to their comments and reveal myself to them. The message board has a system where you have to e-mail the admin and he has to approve your membership in order to post. I registered, and I'm currently waiting (However, I don't think he has plans to approve me).
Oh, the humanity.

Actually, the guy that commented on the thread was me. I'm no Gary Whitta, heck I don't even have an account on the QT3 boards. I've been regularly visiting QT3 for months, but without an account. I applied recently for one but I doubt I'll be getting one. I'm actually in Australia, studying programming. Heck, if you want to do a search for the username "F'yth" on the QT3 boards you should be able to find it, with 0 posts, because my account hasn't been activated (and i doubt it will be).
Anyway this is all pretty irrelevant to your request, but really i just wanted to point out that I am not Gary Whitta.
