Intro
Welcome back to Celebrity Jeo... wait, wrong intro. Thanks for joining me once again as we talk about various fun and exciting and maybe some not-so-exciting things.
Updates
So there hasn't been a lot happening of late that you don't already know about. The pruning has been continuing and tens of thousands of posts have been deleted so far, with many more to come. It's a slow process, the Forum Leaders have to go through every topic to make sure it's something that can be deleted. Believe me, we're taking our time on this one since we want to avoid deleting stuff that may still be useful or have historical value. That said, there's still a lot of useless posts out there to be removed.
The new Reporter is coming. He is currently undergoing our rigorous training process under my close supervision to make sure he doesn't break the site once he is given access to the news. Oh you might laugh, but it's a very real threat. I'm hoping we'll be making an announcement next week. A new member group will also have to be created, which may help narrowing down the possible candidates.
The entry period for Member Interviews is next Thursday. We have over one hundred candidates so far, so the competition is pretty stiff. But one of them will be the lucky interviewee! I'm pleased with its success so far, and look forward to its future growth.
Mailbag
1) What's your favorite kind of music and band?2) What's your favorite type of movie and which is your favorite?
3) How did you become a staff member so quickly?
4) How did you find out about Bionicle and why do you like it?
1) Classic Rock. Harry Chapin.
2) SciFi/Fantasy. The Matrix? It's so hard to pick one...
3) Timing and experience.
4) The Lego Magazine. I had always been a Lego fan and this theme seemed to combine things I liked about Technic and Throwbots with a cool story.
1) Have you tasted any of the new Mountain Dew flavors? If so, which one is your favorite?2) When you first became Staff, did you ever close any of your topics? If so, did it feel strange ending what you started?
3) What will you do when BZP ends?
4) Do you like the seven year spinny?
1) I had to look up what these new flavors were, so the answer is no. I've only ever had original (good), Baja Blast (OK), and Game Fuel (good).
2) I have closed many of my own topics, either because they were revived or no longer needed.
3) Have a LOT more free time.
4) It's different than in previous years, but I think it's quite nice.
Want to see your questions answered? PM them to me and put 'Mailbag' in the subject line. I'll pick the few I like the best and answer them in the next update.
