I'm the administrator of a small site/attached forum, so I've put that down as one of the activities I participate in (as well as using it in one of the essays). I realized that I don't have my username on that site on my application anywhere. Should I put it in? If they actually went to the site to check it out, I'm the only administrator, but I'm thinking I should say it specifically...

Or does it not matter, will simply saying in general that's an activity of mine be sufficient?

I severely doubt that MIT has an employee whose sole purpose is tracking down and verifying student activities. Come to think of it, that might be an interesting job.

I don't think it matters. As long as you provide a link to the site, if you want them to see it, then you should be fine.

EDIT: even better idea. You could log in to your administrator account and change the forum signature/avatar to something that praises MIT. There's no way they'd mistake that. (that last suggestion was quasi-ironic. Do with it what you please.)

Yeah, I doubted they were going to rigorously check everything, but just wanted to get an outside opinion on it. Thanks for the advice!

I don't think it matters. I talk about my website for my creativity essay and posted a link to it.
