I really enjoyed going back to many great memories of my life. Questions were great..With the new system it is so much better. When the questions are answered Paulo looked it over and then posted it.
Ok, I think you should at least do 1 a month. There are interesting people on this site.
I'm not getting any younger..I would like to know more about people playing here. I don't think you can get to many interviews. The advertising for people to ask questions is what needs to be worked on..
How do you get a message to all that don't read boards? The key is to get the message out to the people. Paulo you are doing very well.
Keep up the good work. If you ask to many questions in what you should do.. there are always a few that will be against whatever is suggested...
right or wrong. I think you had a great system going..Continue as it was. My 2 cents.

Bubbles Pbarb2: 1 per month?

Why dont you just get a standard set of questions and let anyone who wants to be interviewed go answer them and have them posted?

I mean if the only purpose is to allow people like yourself to find out more about everyone on this site, then why not just have a link in peoples profiles to make an interview about themseves available?

When I was interviewed, there were only like 4 people who asked to have one from me, and that was the majority!!! 4 people!!!

Start to water it all down even more, and it will soon not matter to anyone at all... it would be like making Christmas every day, it would not be special anymore!

Whatever that means?


I am NOT saying that i dont like interviews... I am allowed my opinion, arent I?

I am only saying that in my opinion that doing too many interviews too fast is not a good idea!

Maybe it shouldnt be a "time" thing at all? I mean, maybe right now, since it is still kind of new, and there are a relatively large amount of personalities on here that havent been interviewed, maybe more is okay right now.

But if you say something like one interview every month, it wont be long before you will be interviewing people who arent "personalities" at all!

Maybe for someone who wants to have everyone on here interviewed before they are dead, it may be okay, but for the long term prospects of this site in general, I would caution that flexibility is the best course, and setting a goal of one a month or whatever is not wise.

maybe something like whenever someone gets a certain amount of requests before they are interviewed, or something like that? Like I said before, only 4 people requested me, thats not too many, and that was more than anyone else, just be careful and take it slow, thats my advice.


One more thinking out loud..... there is nothing from stopping anyone from making an interview fellowship, barb, and you can get questions together and invite everyone you want to know more about and ask them questions and post the answers, and you can do 20 people a week if you want, and are afraid you wont be around here long enough to get to know people properly , official brainking interviews are NOT the only way to get to know someone, really!

Puckish: Is this a public board?? And is your statement allowed to stay?? On other boards it would have been either deleted or asked that the author remove it?

Puckish: I agree.. the interviews should be one a month.. there are enough players on this site who are very interesting.. and lots of us enjoy getting to know others.. one a month is NOT too many..

Относно: Re: ..one a month is NOT too many..
ScarletRose: Is it possible to have too many then? How about 1 per week? Why not interview several people at the same time?

Like I have said before, there are many ways to get to know people, other than through a public site sponsored interview.... if there are really so many people who want more, then why not just ask them? You can always send people questions about themselves through a PM, cant you? Or even make it more public by starting a private fellowship, right?

Dang, maybe I will just have to do it myself!

Относно: Re: ..one a month is NOT too many..
Puckish: I feel the same way you do... which is why I started making interviews about 1 month apart and then spreaded them out a little more. Of course, now that I don't have to do so much work on them, it's easier, but I also think that if the subject isn't well known, there simply won't be so many people asking questions... or at least those funny and witty questions that make the interview more enjoyable.

However, I think a very large interval between interviews will also have a negative effect - people will start forgeting to come to this board to be informed about new interviews and won't post any questions... which is not good either.

So I'm trying to find some compromise somewhere in between...

pauloaguia: An idea to keep traffic to this board in between interviews - how about once a week, have 5 "open" questions that anyone can post on the board with their answers. Anyone who visits the board can answer - even me since I've already done an interview and will most likely never do another one.

It could be a good way to keep traffic to this board, and possible get a good conversation out of those questions.

Maybe mix in a few odd-ball questions like is you yard more grass, weeds, dirt, or no yard - with more serious questions like maybe how often would you like to see interviews and why.

coan.net: I'm not sure... if this was a threaded board, it might work, but on an open board such as we have here on BK, I think there's a risk of cluttering, expecially if some of those answers provide some good conversation, like you said... which, by the way, could also make this turn into a debate club (which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it's not something I'm prepared to moderate, that's all)
Also, I'd run out of questions preety fast if I were to have to come up with 5 different questions every week

Yet, I had already thought in the past of the concept of a quick interview, I just didn't come up with a right way to put it in practice... Somebody else care to comment on coan's idea?

pauloaguia: just thinking out loud again... like BBW suggested, since people who have already been interviewed will likely never be interviewed again, and since there are always new people here and others who did not participate in prior interview questioning, maybe there would be some interest in picking a prior interviewee, where people may be curious about some aspect of them that was not covered in their first interview, and they could be the person of the week, or month or whatever, to come here and answer additional questions, or something like that?

Some kind of follow up.... I know after reading someones interview, there are always other questions that come to mind, maybe to clarify or expound on what they have already said, or to find out something that was not covered at all....

Even maybe the person who most recently completed an interview could make themselves available for a couple of weeks of follow up.... just make that part of the routine, where after you post your interview, you come here to answer follow up questions generated after people have read your interview....

Относно: Re:
pauloaguia: Or instead of every week, whenever there is a "dull" time. For example, lets say you notice that a week went by without a post, maybe introduce some "quickie" questions for people to answer. Maybe even like "poll" questions like what new game would you like to see on this site. (with a list of some options with of course leaving it open for any answers).

Seasonal questions like "Did Santa bring you anything this year?"

Yea, a threaded board would make it a lot easier - but maybe an idea to keep when the posts do slow down - and randomly so you are not forced into doing new questions weekly and such.

Bubbles Pbarb2: I remeber suggesting somewhere that when there's a new interview or an interview is about to be closed (for receiving questions) then some sort of mark could appear in the main page by theInterviews link. This would eventually attract more people.
Many people don't even know interviews exist yet, because they were only linked at the BrainKing.com db up until recently... adding something catchy to the left menu bar every now and then, at key moments in an iterview's lifetime, could help get the word out.

pauloaguia: Dont get me wrong.... my point isnt that there arent enough interesting people to interview.... its more about the interest generated in the interviews IE questions asked, or people who others want to see interviewed, etc...

Just dont get too excited and over do it... if I die before someone gets interviewed, then so be it...

pauloaguia: I had friends tell me they did not know anything about interviews. They said they would have asked me some questions. I think I had some good ones and enough. Just trying to make the point they did not know. So the thing is getting the word out.
