[QUOTE=snuffy]cool, we'll set you up with someone real soon, we got irelocus, undertow, maybe Mr. Brown...[/QUOTE]

Ah, you might want to count me out for that one. No offense, Beth, but I still have to finish interviewing Snuffy, Smartazboy and Jase, and as ireLocus can vouch for me, I'm not the quickest with getting my interviews posted.

Idiots. Although a mutual interview is a nice idea. Not with mikandrewz though. Although it would be interesting if he could convince people that he has interesting qualities.

The formatting was a PM interview, pasted into the forum. Pasting PMs in the forum is against the guidelines, regardless if it is "mutually agreed upon" or whatever.

Private Messages are for private conversations. The members of this community do not tolerate the violation of an individual's privacy.

Also, the resulting formatting was annoying as hell to read. you couldn't tell who was speaking, and it filled all the empty space with junk.

I think it would be interesting if you interviewed me, more of an interrogation really, up for it?

It wasn't that bad, at first I thought it was hard to read but if you look at it you just have to start at the middle and work down. We thought it was cool. This wasn't a case of 'violating another members privacy' because we both agreed to it. If I did an actual interview with Nightrious I would want it to be in the same format but whoever it was that deleted the thread said that I wasn't allowed.

in terms of the pre-interview, mirkah got rid of it becasue of the PM format, and she was right to do so. we gotta follow the rules, even if we think of cool or creative ways to break them.

what if i helped out by taking the PM format out?

Nah, we'll do it the normal way, we just liked the russian doll style formatting that you get.

If I was to want to interview someone, would it have to be through IM or could I PM questions? I mean, are there standards to follow or can I just do my thing and put it all in a thread?

I went and read the interview PCJ did on me sometime back when i first joined. Its interesting to see how a lot of things change for someone and some other things still continue to stay the same.
