Since we're resurrecting boards (or perhaps they're using Raise Dead, and they come back to life with one hitpoint  :o ) maybe they can bring back NTV. There were some good threads in the internal I'd like to review, and there is a demo available after all. Would be a nice place for speculation, tech support, and MVP upgrades.

These interviews made for some interesting reading; most of the subjects were around long before my time.  They did make me curious about a few of the long-dead campaigns that were mentioned in them, though.  The Wiki has pages about one or two of them, but I'd never so much as heard about something like, say, Over the Top.  It might be worth considering a "Community History" section, with some info about some of the projects that just never got to see the light of day.

I hope so. :)  I unhid the forum to see if there'd be any interest in revitalizing it, just like some other projects have been revitalized recently.

Someone, maybe an Admin should make a poll of likely candidates and let the publc decide who gets interviewed.....

Someone, maybe an ambitious forum member, should offer to hold an interview...

I'd offer, but I'm busy enough as it is. The only free day I've got is Sunday, which I don't really desire to fill up with hunting someone down to interview, writing out a bunch of questions to ask, ask them, and them, then put it on HLP. Now if that was reversed and I was the one getting interviewed, I wouldn't mind nearly as much, as I wouldn't be doing half the work. :D

Could somehow integrate this into the Carl thing.  Add an interview process to the handoffs.  Not good for mail delivery though. 

Could get interesting if we had a suggested interviewer/interviewee discussion.  Second thought maybe that's not a good idea.

This and HLP Carl are two entirely independent projects, and I see no reason to combine them.

Just in case anybody is confused, these are online interviews, conducted over IM or something similar.  Not in-person interviews, which would be totally impractical in the vast majority of cases.

It was just an idea. 

Yea in most cases it would have to be online but with some of the meetings going on........

Any chance of getting Steak to answer some questions on how he's been?

He is "THE godfather" of HLP after all and it feels mighty strange to not see him about here...Plus i miss the Array.

Or maybe Goober, if he hasn't been interviewed already.

I could possibly set time aside on a Sunday to be interviewed, if anyone's interested.  :)

Post by: Goober5000 on September 30, 2008, 08:48:38 pm
So could a lot of people. :p  This project is not supposed to be a vehicle for self-promotion.  Interview subjects are chosen by the interviewers.

So we need some interviewers first, and then it's up to them.  We have two to start.  Anybody have the old Interviews project badge?

I got pecnipicek lined up for an interview. If you have some questions you wish to ask the head of The Apocalypse Project, feel free to PM me.

Questions regarding his personal life and/or sexual preferences will be automatically tossed out the virtual window to burn in curry powder, with their originator of the question to soon follow after

I was rather hoping to rationalize the 158th delays to more people than whoever periodically checks the 158th board rather than self-promotion, but I understand.  :)
