Is good you made it clear because it seems that the OP doesn't have any meanful questions to ask that's why he hasn't updated this thread which I doubt.
I still believe the OP has a bucket loads of questions to ask but he hasn't find out time to renew his questions and I'll still say Mr JJGee should give him (the OP) time since it has gotten to his notice.

Some of the questions now can not be changed due to their relevance but others are now outdated. The bitcoin world is ever changing and there are new questions that should be added to make the interview more interesting.

I don't know about the others, but I was reading each and every interview while there was some selection and only people with some history (like you) here had the privilege to give answers
That eventually changed when we got bunch of pretty much unknown members joining and I honestly didn't care to find more about someone I didn't even know exists on forum before and whom I never exchanged a single sentence so I eventually stopped checking this thread.

That's to say the Forum has a lot of space to accomodate different people from different countries and you have get use to it by getting to know the new faces that flood the forum and things do change when the crowd are much, some adjustments need to be made like you can reapply and answer some of those questions again just to keep this thread alive, maybe when the OP has new questions.

This interview section should not be for everybody. I am not trying to be sentimental but it should be for members with experience or have something unique to share. Even in the real world, the media don't host just anybody on the street for interviews. This section should be an avenue where members learn from veterans in the forum. Many new members that have been interviewed just repeat the same stories making this thread less educative. New faces need to stay in the forum and gain experience before coming to tell their stories.

I don't have any problem with the idea of "nobodies" giving interviews because it is quite likely that every single member of this forum (who is a real person rather than a bot) has individual experiences that are interesting and can be relevant and interesting for others to read, but one of the problems and difficulties is that some people have difficulties figuring out how to provide at least enough personally specific facts in order for the story to have some kind of level of interestingness due to some of the individual details... which likely any of us can only get to that level by providing some personal details rather than just giving the conclusions about what happened and without fleshing it out.

I am not going to even try to say that I am any kind of interesting person, because i am likely boring as fuck to some people.. but then sometimes there can be certain pieces of a story and even facts that can be unravelled and explored in order to attempt to get some kind of an interesting angle to an otherwise mundane story....

....and for example, one time more than 20 years ago, I recall telling a story about eating some live squid to some family members, and I recall that I sent an e-mail on the topic, and my e-mail was only a few paragraphs, but I went over a lot of the details of how my experience had gone... and it probably took me more than three hours to write those three paragraphs.. I wrote the first draft, and then edited it, and then the next day, I edited it again, and added some more facts, and then right around the third day I sent out that e-mail and my live squid eating story..

...and so even the other day, I went on a not so interesting walk, and then as I was approaching the water front, I saw a right around 40-year old guy who was riding a tricycle with coconuts out of the back of the tricycle, and he stopped near a coconut tree and as he saw that I was walking up to him, he pointed at me and then pointed up to the top of the tree (which was about 60 feet), and pretty soon he started climbing the tree.. and I just stood there watching him for more than 10 minutes in total and torn between whether I should continue to go on my walk or to finish watching him get about 15 coconuts from the top of the tree and throw them to the ground, and then when he got back to the ground, I asked him how long he had been in the coconut business and climbing trees like that, and he said 3 years.. and I thought wow... and I probably even said "wow," and I asked him a few other questions as he was loading up his coconuts into a bag to take over to his tricycle, and I did not ask him how old he was, but I still was thinking (and probably even implying it with some of my questions to him) that he is pretty old to be climbing coconut trees like that and maybe making around a couple dollars per coconut.

My point is that boring things can sometimes be made to sound somewhat interesting, if some personal details are added. .and some of those personal details might be the same as other people, like a friend told me.. but then if you tell me something interesting about the friend then your story becomes more individualized, even if some other member might have friends just like that guy/gal...
