Yayyy, Gats' interview is now up. What an interesting read about one of our beloved mods on FT! I especially was taken with his closing line, "One should stubbornly keep a solid respect for where they've been, in my opinion. Helps you remember that there are always still more places to go."

Thank you Gats for this glimpse inside your personal life and head!

Ya know Mags, I think your comment is a good one, as well as a good idea.

My thought is (trying to get this said correctly here,,,) that unless we look at how many times a thread has been viewed, we have no idea if people are actually enjoying these interviews. We can only pose further questions for a "time" before the thread will be shut down. It seems to me that unless we make comment on or about a thread, we won't know if people are *enjoying* the interviews. (I know someone else could say this better than I am.)

So, in light of my comment, here goes:

Sue - I absolutely love hearing about your "island." It is certainly something I'd like to add to my bucket list.

You (and Gatsby, too) are so interesting. I imagine living vicariously through your interviews.

Gats - every time I drive to upstate New York I drive through the northeast Ohio area and think of you every time. "How's Gats doing? Where could he be now? Hope he's having a good day today!" I often imagine what it would be like were I to move back to my home town, (Chicagoland area) or what life would have been like had I even stayed there!

Do keep up these wonderful interviews - maybe in a year we can vote for "best interviewee!"

I've thoroughly enjoyed both interviews. It's wonderful to have a glimpse into other people's lives and surroundings and it's very generous of the interviewees to allow this.

I'm looking forward to more interviews.

Which staff member would you like to see interviewed next?

I'm picturing a large bingo ball spinner being turned at the end of every week by the previous interviewee. As the ball reaches the end of a short, metal track, the crowd falls to a hush and the next participant is announced.

That's just one option though.

<Which staff member would you like to see interviewed next? >
Terry Ford

Who?

ren, we could start a chant --

We want Ter-ry!
We want Ter-ry!
We want Ter-ry!

Anyone else?

BxB has now completed three interviews and is working on a fourth. Does anyone else want to have a go at being the questionmaster? You've seen how he does it and I'm sure he'll be happy to give you a few tips.

There was the thought of not having a questionmaster, though BxB has certainly done a fine job.

I just came to this thread to say I enjoy these interviews and hope they continue.

I've enjoyed all three interviews as well! Great job, everyone!

Oops! I had no idea that this is where I was supposed to post my feedback on howmuch I've loved these interviews so far.

Mea culpa! I've just added an extraneous posting to each of the three interview threads that are up there. The sentiment is true, but it wasn't the place to post them.

Can one of the moderators who has the power to do so remove those posts?

I'm sorry for gumming up the works.

Sue

Sue, instead of us deleting what you've posted, why not follow them up with a question?

Definitely anticipating more of these- excited to see who shows up over the next little while.

Good idea! Thinking of some right now.

The interview with Gatsby will be locked tomorrow unless any new questions are asked.

Will do Sue. I'll lock mine as soon as the next one appears.

I can't seem to read the latest addition to the current interview of Tabby Tom, but I'm getting an access denied message. Am I doing something worng?

Thanks for clarifying!

Kyleisalive's interview is halfway done right now. Ing, Runway_Drive and SalamiSwami are also asking Kyle questions for this interview.

Current interview underway is with Ren and it is halfway completed.

Sue, Gatsby, Copago, Purplefan, Jane Marple and Santana are all part of her initial interview.

New to all of this, but that sounds very fun!

Is there an interview in progress? I've really enjoyed reading the ones that have come out so far.

I was just thinking the same thing...

On Oct 22nd, BxB posted the following in the Potential Interviewees thread:
Quote: "The next interview, which is in the begining phases, is with Ozfei."

Thanks for the assist Mags.

Next interview will be with Snowman.

I love reading these interviews. Is it possible to post them on Quizzyland too? I'm sure there'll be many members who'll enjoy these but are not very active on this part of the site.
