Hm, the premium sub should help convince numerous industry people to sign up to the site, which means they could foreseeably post on the forums.

Should this happen, could we have a way to identify them? Either staff/mods being informed of who they are (and told to let it go public or keep it private depending on the person's wishes), or maybe give them a tag noting the company they're affiliated with. Don't force them into it, but give them the option should they choose to make a name for themselves on the site.

On neogaf the various insiders are given quite a bit of credibility, and I would want to see something similar here, lest every informed statement they make be followed by "and how would you know?"

@bugrimmar: Not even us mods can edit thread titles! Though I wish we could.

I rather like this, though it may be a case of putting the cart before the horse

It definitely is, and we may not even need such a feature for quite some time.  Despite the fact that the industry has grown more and more receptive to our site, interested parties have yet to show their face on our forums yet, except Shams.  I have few ideas of why they may avoid our forums, but I'll get into that elswhere.

Also, I see you're thinking of becoming a contributor yet again.  I think you'd be a much better fit in a certain other staff position, as you know.  ;)

There are some more developers that post here.  They just don't let you know who they are ;)

I can think of a coup of others off the top of my head.  One who is now perma banned and apparently hates my guts.  ='(  But none of them are  big time people 

Look at gaf.  David Jaffe, Geoff Keighly, and Michael Pachter all have accounts under their own name.  We have nothing quite like that here.

Now, that's one that would quite increase VGC credibility. Finally I get why gaffers are so haughty towards VGC!!!
