Person Interviewed: Jon (CL9) [2006-08-19]
| Q1: Where are you from? | Originally? England. Now? New England. |
| Q2: Best and worst thing about OTF? | The Best thing about OTF, is the oppertunity to meet so many different kinds of people. Pick the PERFECT one, Marry her, and then raise a beautiful family... The worst thing would be Cyber Families, pretending they know what I mean in part 1! Though that hasn't been too bad for a while. |
| Q3: Who out of OTF would you elect the leader of your country? | Who would I elect leader? My wife of course. When she's not pregnant (For those of you with good memories) she's really quite sensible. |
| Q4: What is your tagline? | It's that little piece of text which goes under your handle, and next to your avatar. Mine is usualy "Thos who can, Do. Those who cannot, whinge." |
| Q5: Which sci-fi/fantasy movie or show would you want to be in? | Lately I've been a Stargate Atlantis fan. So that would probably top my list right now. |
| Q6: Are you nostalgic about the "old" OTF? Which parts? | The Old OTF.. Ah, the memories.. Back when Guinan was still allowed to keep her blaster rifle behind the bar, without a safety lock. Back when the bar served alchohol, because the grown ups could keep their kids under control.... No.. not really nostalgic.. why? |
| Q7: What change do you feel has been most beneficial for OTF? | I think having CT run the show has been great, coz he's Crazy, AND Texan.. The world needs more Crazy Texans in charge. |
| Q8: With the appearance of Man In Hat - aka, Mih - and the disappearance of our famed mystery Fleet Admiral, where do you think Octavius Piraeus - aka, "Octagon" - went? | To answer that question, I would have to believe in OP, Therefore I decline to answer. |
| Q9: What chat themed room would you add to OTF? | Harkening back to Q5, probably Stargate Atlantis. |
| Q10: If you had IAIN-like Powers in OTF... what precisely would you do? | Quite why I should want to lower my powers to Iain's level I don't know... But I would probably cry, and ask for MY powers back. |
| Q11: Why do you think OTF has lasted so long? | Because Jon Happens. |
| Q12: Which smiley should The Powers That Be include next in the chatrooms? | How about a cluster of smileys, to show a cyber family? .... And then have them implode.. |

| Q15: Where were you nine years ago, and what were you doing? | 9 years? Why 9 Years? Why not a nice round number like 10? or 5.. Even an even 8.. But 9?. 9 years ago?.. probably in bed sleeping. |
