Frequently Asked Questions

We receive many, many emails daily from our visitors at the site.  Unfortunately, it does take us some time to get back to people with the volume of emails we do receive.   So, for ease we have created F.A.Q. section to hopefully answer some of our visitors questions quicker.

PLEASE READ THESE AND OUR NEWSPAGE BEFORE CONTACTING US

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Please be cautious of people online claiming to be Billy (or other members of the CSI cast for that matter). Whilst it is not impossible the likelihood is that these people are fake. If you think you have had contact with someone like this, whether you run a Billy website or belong to a community that is claiming to be run by Billy, etc please let us know. It is illegal to impersonate someone without their permission!

I have a problem accessing The Gallery, what's wrong?

Occassionally we will come across issues with the database. We are usually aware if there is a problem and will be working as fast as we can to get it back up running. We will usually update our LJ if there is an issue making people aware of the problem. So please read the main news page or check the LJ before contacting us.

I can't seem to join the Yahoo Group

We are no longer accepting members here because of constant spamming. We are looking into something that will replace the Yahoo Group eventually where new members can join.

Can I get an autographed photo of Billy from you?

Unfortunately, we do not supply these.  We suggest you write to Billy personally, enclosing a photo you would like him to sign, and a stamped self  addressed envelope to quicken up the process.   This can take a few months and possibly a few attempts, but it is worth it.

I have seen Billy's autograph on Ebay, is it an original?

Billy's autograph is very distinct. For peace of mind we suggest you write to him at the above address for an autograph. Some of those on Ebay are genuine, you can usually tell by who the seller is, but many are not, so if you are unsure, save your money and go direct to the source instead.

Where does he live?  What's his phone number? Does he have a personal email address?

We consider ourselves a responsible fan site and would never dream of giving out any personal contact information.   If you want to contact Billy, write to the address above. All emails directly addressed to Billy will be deleted.

Do you have any photos of Billy's family?   What does his daughter look like?

Whilst Billy is in the public eye, his family is not.  We do not have any family photos available in The Gallery and we do not ever intend to put any in there. We ask that people be respectful of his family's privacy.

Why do you not include all the photos you have in The Gallery?

Generous visitors of the site often send us photos, articles, and share stories of meeting Billy.   However even though they are happy to share them with us, they do request we do not share them with the entire internet for various reasons.   We are just abiding by their wishes and do not want to violate their trust.   

Why do you not include "paparazzi" photos of Billy out and about anymore?

Even though you will find some candid photos of Billy out and about in public on the site, we have decided to change this slightly with any new photos.   If Billy is aware of the camera and responds to it (e.g. gives them the peace sign) we will put it in The Gallery.  If not, we will respect his privacy.

Why do you watermark your photos?

Many reasons.  

Someone told us [insert rumor here].  Can you confirm?

The WPAP is a fan site, not a gossip column!   We will not answer any questions regarding Billy, Gina or his castmate's private lives.   Any and all emails we receive in this respect will be ignored.   His personal life is definitely not our business!   He's been very open in many interviews in the past, if he wants his fans to know something, he will make it public.

Why have you stopped putting CSI Dailies clips on the site?

We do not want to compromise the site in any way. With the invention of sites like youtube and the official CBS/CSI Wiki sites where fans can upload their clips (and not forgetting other sites claiming them as their own) we do not want to bring unwanted attention to the site. What we have available will stay unless we are asked to take them down.

What CSI "ship" does The WPAP support?

The WPAP is neutral when it comes to this. We embrace them all that include Grissom. We will not side with one over the other.

Does Billy have an official site, myspace , livejournal or blog?

Despite many online sites/people claiming to be Billy himself (see note above) we are not aware of any "official" site. If and when this happens, we will let everyone know. This is a question we are getting asked more and more, and for those enquiring about the myspace site, if you contact the owner they will explain what they are doing.
