Example of an interview: Please note Syntax is borring.. Also the real interviews will probably be much longer and have better questions.

Interviewer: What brought you to Wiichat?

Syntax: Before purchasing my Wii I was looking for a new forum to call home if you will. I went to google and typed in Wii forum. The first hit I came up with was Wiichat and voila here I am.

Interviewer: What made you choose the name Syntax?

Syntax: No idea really. I mainly chose it because it sounded nice.

Interviewer: How long have you been a member here at Wiichat?

Syntax: For about eight months I believe.

Interviewer: Almost one year. How does that feel?

Syntax: Suprising really. Time really flies around here.

Interviewer: What would you say is your favourite section on Wiichat?

Syntax: There are about three sections I frequent daily so its really hard to say.. These sections being the Lounge, The Design Lounge and the Entertainment Lounge.

Interviewer: Now I didn't say list your three favourite sections... I said list one.. Be honest now..

Syntax: If I had to choose I would probably go with the Lounge because there is always something going on in there.

Interviewer: If you could change one thing about WiiChat what would that be?

Syntax: If I were to change one thing about WiiChat I would probably create a new sub section for spam. Basically in that section users would be able to post funny videos, jokes, pictures etc. Of course the post count would probably be removed.

Haven't decided who I'm interviewing yet..

Also usually when I interview people I tend to make up questions as I go. Another point is the questions for the example above aren't all the questions I'll be asking. Finally.. interviews are usually done over msn however if it's easier I could just send you a set of questions.
 
^^ exactly. It'd be fun. Not ghey questions like McAuslan gave as an example. No egos would be boosted, and the "no posting ban" rule would be a great way of keeping it controlled. Is anyone famous? No, but it's just for fun. I imagine people are going to get pissy because they don't get interviewed, but they'll have to get over it. If not, hello No Posting Ban. I don't even care if i'm interviewed, I won't get fussy like a little 9 year old. It'll be fun reading interviews on other people.
 
Maybe members can send it questions to ask about the announced person that's being interviewed, then you can chose the best ones?

That way more people will read etc..
 
you have my contacts so let me know. just give me a heads up. ive been busy busting my ass at work

Agreed, and maybe do, one interview a week? Not just give out questions that everyone can answer and you having to put up with a crammed PM inbox.

Sounds like a good idea Rach. I'll have to try that out.

Strongly agree.

My plan for the interviews.

Week 1:
- Moderator
Week 2:
- Helpful Forum Member (Someone who has really helped out Wiichat.
Week 3:
- Random Forum Member

This way I can cover the moderators, helpful forum members and to make it slightly more interesting one random forum member will be drawn every three weeks. Hopefully this would ease the tension between the members. After all this is just for fun as ssbb_lover mentioned.

29 - 7 So far..

Assuming this will most likely go through I plan on making one thread that will discuss what it's about, who I plan on interviewing, how the interviews take place etc.

Yeah, a thread to discuss who to interview and the questions to ask will be good, power of the people moment there?
