Creasy47's Behind The Avatar Interview Thread With Agent_99 (Page 22)
Benny
Shaken not stirredAdministrator, Moderator
(Creasy47 is editing this post) Let's start this up again in a fresh manner! In the last few years, myself and a couple of others were interviewed by @Benny. Long story short, I eventually took over the thread for him, and this is how it ran: initially, you threw your name in if you wanted to be interviewed, and the first person (which ended up being myself) who was interviewed (based on a template of set questions - Bond related, personal questions, random and fun ones, etc.) - would then nominate another member who was interested to go next, and so on and so forth. If you look through the first few pages, you can see interviews with myself, @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, and I believe @JWESTBROOK, which will give you an idea of how it goes. Sadly, it hit a snag eventually when it simply fizzled out, but the interest was strong and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
Thus, I've decided to revitalize this and bring it back! We've had plenty of new members join since the last time this interview thread was going on, so I wanted to see if the interest still stands and members would enjoy being interviewed. If that's the case, I'll more than likely edit the old template into something like this: 10 to 15 Bond related questions (i.e. Which is your favorite film/actor/director/title song/etc. and why, what're some of your favorite scenes and lines, what would you say are the high and low points of the series, etc.), some personal questions (nothing sinister, of course, just something to let you talk about your outside-of-Bond interests and let other members get to know you a little better), and I always attempted to throw in a few fun, miscellaneous questions, too.
So, if you are indeed interested, please leave a comment stating so, and I'll be sure to constantly update this first post with the usernames of those interested. After a couple of days, I'll select one at random (of course, there's no cut off point, I can always edit the list to reflect those who are interested), interview him/her through PM, and along the way, I'll post the questions and answers; your answers can be as short or as long as you'd like! Once the interview process is done, I'll give 24 hours or so (again, depending on the popularity of this thread) for members to ask the interviewee any questions they may have, and finally, the person I interview will nominate someone who has yet to go, and the process can start all over again!
The only thing I ask is that if you are nominated and won't have a few days to spare to answer the questions, please let me know and I'll see to it that someone else is nominated, just so we don't have the thread sitting in limbo for a few weeks waiting for answers. We had a lot of people interested last time around, and I want to ensure that everyone has a chance, and I'd love to get this thing moving at a pace of two interviews every seven to nine days once it's all smoothed out.
It was really fun to be interviewed and interview those who were interested, and there's nothing wrong with learning a little bit about one another and connecting in a way that doesn't pertain to the world of James Bond. So, let's get this started: if you're interested, please state so and I'll add you to this first post. Thanks and have fun!

Further down the line, I'm up for this but let those who got in first go before me.
This should be an interesting thread; I never read the old one, so I am really eager to get this one started.
I was indeed sleeping. Sorry folks, to keep you all waiting.
What a wonderful response to the question though, very happy to see so many willing members who are up to be interviewed.
I'll update the opening post to include those members who wish to take part.
As @Creasy47 was the first to nominate himself, I think it's only fitting that he join me on the couch first.
I'll quickly go over how this all works. First I send a set of questions to the member via PM, to which they reply. These questions cover a Bondian theme at first, then the later questions cover a more personal side to the member. If the member feels they do not want to answer certain questions, then via a PM to myself I will alter the question to something else. The final phase of the interview is where the interviewee can be asked questions from other forum members, but please do not ask questions in this thread untill requested to do so.
Finally to make it a little fun, rather than simply follow the list in the opening post, the current interviewee nominates to me via PM, the person to be interviewed next. At the end of the interview, we will reveal who that member will be.
So with that all sorted, and the first member picked all that need happen now is to watch this space.
But please do let me know if you'd like to participate. I always found this to be a great way to getting to know a little more about our forum friends, and often alot of fun.
Thanks again!
I started the original then after a while retrokitty took over. It certainly did go a long way.
I'm sure we can create a thread here that many member will enjoy taking part with, but also learning more about the person behind the avatar.
Yes I have to agree. @Creasy47 is a well known, and regular poster here at Mi6. I'm just going over the initial set of questions, that I'll send to him later today.
