Fametracker

Fametracker was a popular culture website which called itself "The Farmer's Almanac of Celebrity Worth".

The site was started in 1999 by Tara Ariano (screenname Wing Chun), a sometime MSNBC.com contributor, and her husband David T. Cole (screenname Glark), who lived at the time in Toronto and also co-created Television Without Pity, along with friend Adam Sternbergh.

Other regular Fametracker features included "2 Stars 1 Slot" in which two similar celebrities sparred for a single dubious title or niche; and "Hey It's That Guy!"

[1] For over five years, Fametracker also operated extensive message boards, which were frequented at one point by over 100 posters.

The message boards closed in March 2005 when the moderators could no longer afford the excessive bandwidth.
