Elly88
From VestiWiki
Linda Ellerbee, host of Nick News and a renowned Emmy award winning journalist, decided to venture into the hell that is the Vestibule and post in the thread titled "WTF?! Nick News with Linda Ellerbee is on right now." which was made by the user jeremytodd1. She was initially met with skepticism, as would be expected, but eventually the actualization that this user was indeed Linda Ellerbee occurred.

- note: Can someone add a little featurette about Four0oz2Freedom being a little bitch and claiming he knew it was an alt account of someone on the vestibule despite having no IP match?:
NICEHANDSLARRY: "As a guy who's made dozens and dozens of alts, I must say this is probably not one."
Four0oz2Freedom: "And as someone who can look this s*** up, I'm telling you that it IS one. "
Four0oz2Freedom: "All I'm going to tell you (YOU SPECIFICALLY, gamemaster675, if you get my drift), is that there are other ways to match users besides an IP addy. "
MidnightRain: "I will confirm what other mods have already posted. The IP attached to elly88 is the only username associated with that IP and the host comes back as unknown. Take that for what you will."
Four0oz2Freedom: "There's also one user in this thread who's host comes back as unknown, and he just happens to have this thread bumped, "broke the news", posted the link to wul the account, etc. I mean, come on. "
And then its proven that she's NOT an alt, and Homer / Tal VIP status her. Meanwhile, Four0oz2Freedom sits with his foot in his mouth, mister "I can tell who's an alt and who isn't even if their IP doesn't match up!"
What a douche...
