Getting to know you (The Cping interviews)

Featured Replies

OK, so figured I'd set up a new thread for the hell of it, to get to know some of the regular posters a bit more on here. I'm not talking personal details, more just a few conversations that tell people a bit about their interests and their outlook and their music taste and all that jazz, avoiding any details they don't want to have posted on here.

 

It won't be an interview as such, it will be more random questions thrown at the person, some completely random, some a little deeper.

 

I'm up for suggestions on how to sort this thing out (who is interviewing, on what platform it will take place - Skype, Msn Messenger if it still exists, PM's) and how to present the whole thing. And I'm fine if this is a shit idea and nobody wants to do it.

 

I think it would be wise if the person who is being interviewed gets to see the final copy/recording/whatever before it goes out, ensuring they are happy with it and edits can be made.

 

I've no problem holding the first interview, though I'm sure others could do a better job. People could also stick their question suggestions in this thread. This thread is basically a rip off of that thread that was recently created where that guys answers questions, except it's more of a series with different people, and it might be presented in a different platform.

 

Ideas?

I think I like your idea : )

But only if every interview includes the following question: what's your favourite food? :p

How about people send in some questions? (by PM). Then a select few members go through the questions and get a good varied selection. They make a list of about about 15 or so :shrug: and then send the list of Qs people can post their As, or maybe do a video post :shrug:

Good idea. Might be a bit more restrictive that way though. With direct interviews things can evolve more intimately with running jokes etc.

yeah, how about the list is made up (as a guide, of course you can vary from it).

And then you can do it over skype and then post the conversation, or with a video use screen recording software? :shrug:

 

 

 

 

also I do like this idea.

Yeah, that sounds like it would work.

I vote Dfit first interview...

 

Hahahaha. I bet he's still lurking. He followed my tumblr for a while, maybe he still does. He'd randomly message me over the years.

Yikes, I bet he's been in someones garden.

I love this idea.

This forum is almost dead now and I think that this could help resurrect it.

I like it also, but I'd feel a bit weird having a public video of myself for non-cpers to see...

idk how you would make stuff private or whatevs, it might be just me.

Perhaps we could request a private section of the board be created for it, for members only. And it wouldn't have to be a video when I say skype.

It could be different for everyone depending on what they are comfortable with. Text, voice or vid.

Could be cool. If you know how to sort the logistics of recording a 2 person interview (presumably just audio?) it might be really interesting/disastrous. The simpler/lamer alternative is just said person posting a video of them answering a list of questions.

Yikes, I bet he's been in someones garden.

 

Maybe he's fucking my garden and not the squirrels. He did say he lives close to me, knew my address.

it could be in tinychat but i dont think people are going at a specific time to see someone answer questions, id be interested to know some yall

 

im ok with showing my face because i will be famous one day :gorgeous:

This sounds fun! I'd love to be part of this! But I'd be most comfortable just writing answers...for several reasons...

awesome idea!:D

I'm too ugly to show mine.

you can't trust this guy's interview.... because this is a clear LIE.

I think I'd rather do one not live on skype just answer the questions and film it myself because I get really awkward when I know people can hear my voice.
