Psypher wrote: Has anything Greg or Brandon have said suggested they know much about Kickstarter beyond "It worked for Veronica Mars"? SMGO may very well be the first people to put forward a way of funding the show beyond the word "Kickstarter". Apart from "WB gave them permission to put VA on Kickstarter and it searched its goal in 10 hours", what else is there to know? Psypher wrote: And I'm not sure what they have to gain by lying. Why would they want to risk a lawsuit from a giant company? To get some buzz? We're talking about bringing back a couple of Saturday morning cartoons, not Firefly. If they were gonna make stuff up, they'd do something bigger than this. "To get some buzz" is exactly what a site like this needs in its infancy. And what would the WB sue them for? If they lied about having a meeting with WB, then that's all they did. What kind of loss or damages could the WB sue them for? Thou shalt not take the name of the WB in vain?

Psypher wrote: WB aren't going to confirm they had a meeting. The only word we'll get from them is if and when an agreement is reached and signed. And at the first stage, the meetings will be way above Greg and Brandon's paygrade, so they won't be in a position to confirm or deny anything even if they wanted to. Giancarlo Volpe vouched for the legitimacy of SMGO because he talked to them, but why could none of the producers confirm it with the WB? If John Doe could get the WB on the phone and arrange a business meeting and announce it, I'd think that at least one of the producers would be able to confirm it with the company.

And I love how everyone was so cynical about the mail campaigns but when an unknown figure professes to be the solution to all our problems, everyone gets a major case of blue hope. I'm good with some assuming good faith, but we are being asked to accept too much without any kind of confirmation/information.
