¿Question #4828?
Gialmere: True Life Gaming: Do you think that BGG users get star struck when a famous gamer/designer posts on a thread here?

pwilz: a little
ocdspectrum: Some do.
BOBBYCAN: That's normal and understandable.
Felimid: I could completely understand. I was starstruck the first time I met Andrew from "Print-n-Play Productions". But it didn't last long. He was friendly and down-to-earth, rather than just another celebrity.
2amp: i suppose i would. so, yeah
Woelf: If they almost never post anything, maybe, but some post frequently enough that if you didn't know they were a big name designer they'd look just like any other BGG user - Bruno Faidutti is a good example.
Spirit of 70: No.
Randy Cox: Some do, indeed.
arkibet: sometimes.
MisterCranky: 7-3
louiseh: Yes. Seen it happen.
ZeroZilla: Somewhat... but that's because famous boardgame designers are such a rare thing in the world.
vandemonium: A little bit at first. But eventually you realize they are just homies like the rest of us.
jdberry: No. We all think we're just one lucky break away from our own hit game.
Mondior: Some do. They are just a person like you or I!
TheChin!: Ummm, maybe?

Son of Murray: I know I would.
GrimJester: True Life Answer: Probably, so what?

puffinge: maybe some do, I'm unmoved
JonBen: a little
davidgpeterson: yep

CherryPie: I bet some do.
rshipp: Absolutely

Tushratta: Do famous game designers post here?
MochaKimono: Yes.

Mike A: Some.
jttm: Fantasy Gaming: Whats up with that?
chaddyboy_2000: No.
CortexBomb: Yes, way too much
Lord_Prussian: Perhaps a little

Spielfreak: Nah
