This is a great interview!

 

I really like how this interview turned out, we have a few more in the works as well, we're going to make this a great resource for admin/webmaster interviews.

We took questions for a few weeks in the contributors section

 

Nice interview!

When I saw "Shawn Hogan" I'was like "oh, like Hulk Hogan? You his son?" lol.

 

Nice interview. Seems like you're kinda pushing him to move to XF though.

 

Great read, very nice interview...well done

 

His forum is so big i tend to get lost there but it is amazing the success he has

 

Nice interview... you forgot to ask Shawn about his MySQL Clustering plans now that new hardware /cpus are out making his old hardware choices out dated

 

I'm sure I could send him some follow up questions
If so, they can be added to the first post.

 

This is a good interview, since I have been talking trash a lot about digitalpoint lately because of all the spam. I was really interested in reading this interview, and Shawn knows what he is doing. So that keeps the forums active, and money in his pocket. I would never let my forum get spammy like that, even though I understand when it get's so big it's harder to prevent it, but then it may be time to start paying your staff to keep the forums clean. Moderators that work for free aren't going to dedicate long hours.

 

Great review!

 

Lol... I just signed up here because I needed a break... and there's a site-wide notice about me. I saw my name and was like, "WTF, I didn't put my name in when I signed up... how could they be using it as a variable?" lol

 

I've had some fun with those threads, the welcome "username" to so and so..lol

Thanks again for allowing us to ask you a few questions

 

Great hearing from you Shawn! Great community you got there. Grats!

 

Thanks... although I'd say "great" is certainly debatable... More like a never ending cycle of trying to make things better... because it's never good enough. lol

A sneak peak of my running list of stuff I'm actually working on (or worked on recently)... haha
The full list is about 4x longer.

 

That's a bloody big list!

 

I actually received an infraction for my first post there ever, primarily because his site is so big and I didn't see there was another related forum/category.

To be honest I'm really surprised that no one (with an admin type forum) hasn't done an interview with Shawn sooner.
Really nice snag Brandon and an awesome edition to your Webmaster Interviews!
