Staff Interviews - Stimbo:

Ok, so I will hopefully be interviewing Losty at some point this week, and then immediately afterwards she will be interviewing me!

So please post your questions you'd like me to ask her, and for her to ask me. I have some suggestions for question topics for myself:

1) The forums, anything you want to know about how it works internally, why I set it up, etc.
2) My experiences as a Brit living in the USA.
3) Anything about my job / education (professional computer hacking / computer security)
4) My Tourette Syndrome.

Just a few ideas!

Why don't you just talk about all four topics you mentioned yourself? They all sound very interesting, so you kind of did our work for us with those ones. I'm sure people will come up with other questions, though

I'm particularly interested to hear about 3), BTW

Losty, 

Do you have enough love in your life right now?

Do you find interactions with strangers online to be in some ways preferable to their real life equivalent?

What do you value most, your dreams, your memories, or your feelings?

Well I'd rather have people ask specific questions, otherwise I could talk about them for hours. Nobody wants to hear that.

What does your job consist of, do you like it, are you satisfied with the pay, and where do you see your career taking you in the future?

Tibs, after you've done all these staff interviews, would you consider doing user interviews as well? Cos it's really cool putting a voice and 'meatspace' personality to all these people we know and love online. There's so many people on here I'd love to know what they're like in person and thankfully many of them are staff but many also aren't

Or one of us normal users could do it. It can't be that hard.

I mean, if Tibs is not interested, that is - which would be perfectly understandable. It's one thing to interview your staff colleagues, and another to go about choosing favorites from a whole membership(you're not going to interview everyone, are you?).

Part of me really agrees with that, but part of me is like, "Well, there is that 'Ask a...' section". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fair enough... I guess it would be hard to choose who to interview out of the users without it turning into a popularity contest etc. But as EP suggested, perhaps we could do it amongst ourselves. It's different from the ask threads just cos it's voice... just find out what people are like in meatspace.
