Who would you want Admin Talk to Interview?

If you could pick anyone or any group of people, who would you want us to interview?

We'll make the connections, just post who you would want us to try and contact.

 

I'm trying to draw traffic here, not scare them away

 

Maybe Shawn from DP? I think you guys are pretty close, right? (I promise I haven't been stalking you, at-all!)

Doh. I feel stupid.

 

How about doing an interview series, the lead developer from each of the major forum softwares?

 

Great idea! I like it

 

How about a no holds barred interview with one of the large corporate acquisition team members from VS or IB.

 

Have you tried asking for an interview with Sandman from AdminZone?

Although, on second thoughts, seeing as this is a competing forum he may decline lol! Hmmm. I can't seem to think of anyone!

 

We've contacted a group of developers for a very popular forums script and have started on the questions for them.

Keep the ideas coming!

 

Great I can't wait to see this interview go live, if it does of course, it should be a very interesting and entertaining read that should keep me occupied for a little bit. I don't have any other suggestions but I hope you find someone who will bring a huge amount of traffic.

 

Perhaps now Lawrence Cole has left vBulletin, you could interview him at some point? I'm not sure he'd be willing to talk about IB's current situation, but I guess it could be interesting to read about his personal life and upcoming university study.

 

It's worth a shot but the email I had for him was IB.. he did make an account here and posted one day.. @LawrenceCole

 

I would like to hear from one of the top management team from VB or IB.

I am sure we would all have some interesting questions to ask them, I know I have.

 

Lawrence Cole is in marketing, and he hasn't left Internet Brands yet.
The person at IB I really want to hear from is Bob Brisco.
He's got some 'splaining to do ...

 

I second that! How about it Bob?

 

Surely VB and IB have customer relations spokespersons whose job it is to do such interviews?

But I would settle for Bob.

 

Do someone like simon cowell possibly maybe he will speak to you if not review me

 

Okay everyone I have some great news for Admin Talk.​

We've added a form plugin that will allow anyone to submit interviews to us, well anyone logged in.
They will go into a hidden forum to be reviewed before being published and I would like a hand with this.

• How many questions should we ask, we don't want it to be to long that no one will read it.
• What questions should we ask, try to be as generalized as possible. These will go out to all types of admins.
• Should we restrict submissions..eg you must be in the "Active group" before submitting. (25 post, 1 week, 1 like)
• We can manually send interviews off as well, so to everyone you've been thinking off above, please post a contact link for me and I'll get in touch with them.
• Please refer to our past interviews if you're having a hard time coming up with questions.

We'll gather up all the questions posted here and make a master list then weed the duplicates and we'll work on the copy so it's the best question possible.

*edit*

I'm going to be building the form while we work on the questions, here are a few I have already to help spark some creativity

What is your name
Why did you start building forums
What's your Forum Software of choice?
Where are you located?
Where do you see your websites in 5 years?

Also we can put some text along with the questions..

Like with this example "What's your Forum Software of choice?" We can have a paragraph of descriptive text asking to break in down a bit, like including a question like "Why you choose X software, what would make you change, what do you like about it" ?
