Well, sometimes I forget about the feauture  . Really, though, first it's research - unless I know the person I'm about to interview fairly well, as it was with Locutus, I go and read that person's posts, see what's special about them, etc. Next goes the actual conversation... if it's emails back and forth, that will take a few days, but result in a less lively conversation. If it is a real-time conversation on, say, ICQ, it's probably longer, because the other person also has to do something, and I actually have to read what they say  .
After that, the editing part goes in, review the whole thing, etc. Finally, out of the final document, I create the webpages with the interview and send them to Markos, who uploads and links to them.
However... I can, in fact, crank out interviews at a speed of approximately one interview in 5-6 weeks. Alternatively, I can go for shorter interviews, which are easy to make indeed, but it seems to me that long and detailed ones are more interesting.
I will promise now, though, to have two new interviews by September 15th. Should keep even Spike happy  .

thank you for helping me to understand the process you go through.
the interviews are a good thing, and I believe help bind new members into the community 
good luck with your upcoming interviews
are you a journalist or media type in real life?

Something that I never could understand, so help me out here. Why can't there be two people doing interviews??? |
indeed, 64,000 members, surely there would be one other who could join Solver in this. interviews debates etc, can only do this community good.
adding to that we have many more lurkers, and with a bit of fine tuning and growth in this area, then it could be a good place for attracting further people to get involved in the community across many of the forums.
taking that a step further, the interviews could then go further a field, tracking down games programmers, marketing people, sales execs, games store owners etc, and getting some of the interesting facts and fun that these people have gone through to bring out the very many games that are represented on this site.
