Wasn't there a post in the WDW Rumors forum by MKTiggerman about "Confirmed Rumors", I know I couldn't have been dreaming, I even think I replied to that post. Where is it?

ack.. time to explain..

there was a theory I had, I told NowInc about it, and I asked steve for permission to do it. He agreed.

So I proceeded to post several false rumor and a partially true one (i ain't telling.. you'll have to figure it out on your own) on the boards. Then, when everyone agreed with them, my theory was proven right.

My theory is that people will believe a rumor that comes straight from a CM (i am one of the few with good information though.. trust me. I have access to sources that most CM's don't even know about). I was just proven correct.

Also, a secondary thing I noticed, was a select few, with no tangible evidence, would proceed to become insiders themselves, by saying that they too had also heard about some of these rumors from another website/trade publication/CM.

Sorry to those of you I ed off. And to those of you who were in on it, you did WONDERFUL!

And if you're still mad, then lick my foot.

Ohhh, so this was just an experiment type thing with false rumors and 1 partially real rumor? Can I guess which one was one of the fake rumors? The one with the fiber optics in AK was fake wasn't it?

the original plan was for me to admit on the thread today, that they rumors were bogus, and the thread was to be moved to Chit-Chat. HOWEVER, Steve received a TON of emails asking to confirm/deny the rumors. Once that started occuring, he deleted it.

I think the only one I can think of that could be fake is the Fiber Optics in everything on AK's property. Though it would be cool.

Many people did believe you because you are trusted as a reliable source on this board. However, now your reputation and people's perceptions of you may have changed.

wah!

you should also note, that when I post a rumor I always give the FULL NAME of the source, whether it be a newspaper/person telling me (ie-from the mouth of John Smith, WDI; from the Eyes and Ears).

If you look at my last batch of rumors, you'll see that ALL of them have a definite source, unlike a lot of times when a rumor starts like "I heard from my cousin, whose stepsons GF is a CM that.."

That's not reliable info, never has, never will.. AND MOST OF YOU BELIEVE IT!

Check the source listed. If there is none, take the rumor with a grain of salt, and ASK FOR A SOURCE.
