Bringing Back the Monthly Spotlights...

[brewmaster15]

HI all,
For those of you that are new here you probably are saying...HUH? whats this all about? But those of you that have been here awhile probablyy remember them..

We used to do a monthly write up ona member here...These "spotlight victims" were nominated by others here and voted on by the forum members... and then Terrorized/honored:D by interview. These were great fun and an awesome way to really get to know a member here.

One of Our Moderators, John, AKA Darkdiscus did an awesome job of writing these up..and because of that we have about 25-30 of these interviews .... for that I'll always be indebted to him!:) Now its time to move on and pick up where he left off... We will be bringing back these spotlights..May do them a tad different ( have a few ideas there:D) but I do want to start again so...

Welcome back Spotlights!

I'd like to get some nominees from you all as to who you would like to see interviewed....I'll then list as many as I can for voting by the forum...First nominated, first slated for votes... We'll try to do this monthly..

Before you do nominate someone, please check to see if they have been Interviewed before...I just spent a few hours moving all the interviews to a new section in the community forum

http://www.forum.simplydiscus.com/forumdisplay.php?f=117

and I have indexed and linked them all...

Heres a breakdown of whose been interviewed ...

Unforunately we seemed to have miss placed a few? I'll keep looking for those..

Okay..enough talk... who would you like to see interviewed... all members and mods are fair game (slight rule change there:D)but each may opt out of the interview if they chose and if that happens we will do the next victim in the voting.:)
Thanks !

Al, I was just thinking the same thing just yesterday...where did the spotlights go? Has Forrest been interviewed? I didnt see him on the list so I nominate him.

[brewmaster15]

Hi Mike,

Forrest is fair game:)

[devonpond]

I'll nominate the Malaysian breeder Jeffrey Yang (SD user ID is Jeffrey_Yang)

I'd like to hear some practical ideas re: establishing and maintaining exceptional quality in your breeding program.

He's working with some stunning lines:

Albino Turq (http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?t=58693)

His web site (http://www.fishtradezone.com/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=1)

[kaceyo]

I will second Jeffry Yang. He has a wealth of information to pass along so he may as well do it here.

jack was also a spotlight..and i dont see ihm listed..so his should be somewhere..
interesting..ryans disappeared...but he was. he was one of the first victims.
whos doing the interview. suppose brew is..and someone nominates brew..then he has to do his own interview?
i dont have any ideas on who to nominate. but it was interesting to see the list..unfortuneatley somme of you dont know some ..as they have stopped breeding. but there are some great ones.
i nominate darren burgess . thats one .

[DISCUS USA]

All the listed nominees sound good but i really think Kenny from International Discus should have his moment to shine..
