    Default Bringing Back the Monthly Spotlights...

    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 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) 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/fo...play.php?f=117

    and I have indexed and linked them all...

    Heres a breakdown of whose been interviewed ...

    Okay..enough talk... who would you like to see interviewed... all members and mods are fair game (slight rule change there)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 nominate my good friend Kenny from International Discus. Some of us already know Kenny on a personal basis while others have not had the pleasure of getting to know him. Sorry Kenny...You shouldn't have been so nice...
