NeoGAF private message - Image 1


This could either be Jeff Bell blowing a fuse or simply an elaborate prank, but a forum member going by the name "a Master Ninja" over the NeoGAF forums claims to have received a message from a certain user going by the name of "bell801" and made a thread of speculations on how it could be Microsoft's VP of Global Marketing for Interactive Entertainment Division.

The poster was very critical of Bell's performance during Microsoft's E3 press conference, reports 1Up, so it probably wasn't surprising that the poster received a message in his mailbox from the aforementioned username saying "And your contribution to society is...what?"

Upon further investigation, an interview on YouTube was found that links Bell to the mystery forum member's name. It turns out that 801 is Bell's favorite number since college. Not too long after word was been passed around, 1Up received a message from a moderator at the NeoGAF Forums confirming that "bell801" was registered with Jeff Bell's information, although details of the information were never divulged.

As we all know, anyone can steal identities all over the internet. 'Til Microsoft gives official word regarding the matter, let's tag this under rumor. For now, you can check out the thread by clicking on the read link below. You'll have to be a NeoGAF member, though.

That's not a rumour, a moderation confirmed it was Jeff Bell.

Kind of strange if it really is Jeff Bell. You'd think he would have a little more decency than that

If this really does turn out to be Jeff Bell, honestly I think it's kind of cool that he is that involved with the game community.



How is this any different from any other argument over the internet? Okay, so he's a corporate guy, but I think his response puts him on a more human level than just a corporate robot.



I mean, I would have asked the same question. If someone was being over critical of me I still respect their right to hate my guts for any reason they want or dislike the things I do, but you want to know why.



He wasn't very rude. He didn't use f*ck every other word, and he didn't talk about his mom.



In summation, if this really turns out to be Jeff Bell, I have a new level of respect for the dude.

I highly doubt its really jeff bell, if you were the VP of global anything dont you think your member tag would be a little different than "junior member" on any forum even semi related?

No. Believe it or not, some people like to keep a low profile. Having a custom title that says something like "Microsoft VP of Marketing" would draw attention like you wouldn't believe - everyone would be sucking up.
