What is your least favourite Esato moment?

Despite being one of Esato's oldest members you have posted relatively little, why is that?
619 says:
actually posted alot, but our mods keeps on deleting older threads, thats why my post usually goes back to 100+
Do you miss any of the older members who no longer post?
619 says:
not quite, because we sometimes meet, call and im
Do you think Esato needs a 'new look'?
619 says:
nah, it's good enough

@scoutsboyuk try and interview those you might not consider Esato's legends once in a while. You might find it really interesting. |

Welcome to another interview on the couch with me, scotsboyuk, and my guest this afternoon, who is one half of another Esato pairing. He has recently co-created a new forum and has a love of cars. I am sure most of you will know that I am speaking of djpowelly.
What is the best thing about Esato?
djpowelly says:
Having so many things and people to talk about/to. I know that when I click the latest posts button, the will be something new I can talk about.... thats what I love 
Who is your favourite member of Esato?
djpowelly says:
Errr... thats a hard one - probably Vanquish, becuase we like the same sort of things, and get on pretty well. Also Vlamm is always there to provide and answer, and meths to provide some humor !
Who is your favourite moderator?
djpowelly says:
Masseur - he's helped me alot with small questions, and also with a few Graphics coursework problems - a big project on SE packaging!
What is your favourite Esato moment?
djpowelly says:
When us young'uns were regognised! Both me and vanquish started a "if your under 16 post here" sort of thread, and we realised how many of us there were! I was amazed actually
What is your least favourite Esato moment?
djpowelly says:
I sort of remember the "RIP esato" phase, even though it was early in my membership, so probably that...
Many members may have heard that you are currently co-administrator of a new forum; can you tell us about it?
djpowelly says:
Well then, many members would be right! Vanquish and I were talking about the increasing size of the mobile-free forum, and thought it would be pretty cool to start a new forum on lifestyles and hobbies. I was only meant as a joke at first, but with alot of time and hard work from Vanquish, and everyone else involved, this 'joke' came alive - and is now mintedforums! Visit us: http://www.mintedforums.com!
There are a number of partnerships on Esato, govigov and whizkidd to name one, but can you tell us how you and vanquish interact on Esato?
djpowelly says:
Well apart from my flaming of is arguments, we PM each other, MSN each other, have a go at each other and get on with each other! And we are working on the 'one post after another thing' that govigov and whizkidd do
Who would you say has made the greatest impact on Esato since you have been a member?
djpowelly says:
A number of people - you bring the relaxed atmosphere to the place, meths and kim. bring a joke to nearly every thread, and merc_man and jiggy bring alive the For Sale forums
Do you think Esato needs a new look?
djpowelly says:
No! Its is amazingly easy to use, and the non-personalised avatars and simple signitures make the forum neat and tidy. Its also quite friendly for my connection over the O2 http proxy !
What do you like to do when you are not online?
djpowelly says:
When i'm away from my computer, anything with cars is good! (I should quote vanquish with my funny obsetion with Ferraris and Ford Capri's ). I also enjoy the odd game on the PS2!
Which mobile are you currently using?
djpowelly says:
I have just bought a Black 3G NEC c616v, which i am pretty happy with, just got to get it unlocked now ! I am also using my old SE T300 until I get the NEC unlocked.
Which mobile are you most looking forward to?
djpowelly says:
I can't wait to get my hands on a SE smartphone, so the Pxxx successor!
Do you have a message for Esato?
djpowelly says:
Keep it as it is - and i'll come back every night! O and thanks to @laffen and the mods for making this forum a great one
Thank you to my guest and please do join me again soon when I shall be chatting with more Esatonians on the couch.

Good afternoon and welcome to the couch. I have the pleasure, today, of speaking with one of Esato's American members. A native of Sweden he managed to pop onto the couch for an interview whilst visiting his homeland. Please welcome amagab.
What is the best thing about Esato?
amagab says:
Fast replies. Can always find/provide solutions/answers.
Who is your favourite member of Esato?
amagab says:
There are many. You being one of them.
Who is your favourite moderator?
amagab says:
masseur
What is your favourite Esato moment?
amagab says:
When jh67 announced the Bluespoon
What is your least favourite Esato moment?
amagab says:
Whenever someone spams
Do you think that Europeans and Asians have a tendency to be arrogant towards the American mobile market?
amagab says:
Not necessarily. However, the American mobile market is more than just GSM and not many Europeans and Asians have knowledge and/or experience in that technology.
What would you like to see change in the American mobile market?
amagab says:
More standards and interoperability in technology and language. Better selection of SE phones.
Do you ever feel 'left out', so to speak, here at Esato because the majority of members are European and Asian and because there are often discussions on advanced technology, which Americans may not see for some time?
amagab says:
Not at all. It is good for Americans to be part of world technology being discussed on Esato.
You have been a member of Esato for some time, do you feel that Esato needs a 'new look'?
amagab says:
Yes and no. Yes because the look is getting old. No because the current board is so good and if there was a change to something newer I'm afraid it would slow it down.
Which mobile are you currently using?
amagab says:
T610 (my awesome backup after getting rid of my P900)
Which mobile are you most looking forward to?
amagab says:
A not-too-big SE smartphone with Wi-Fi
Do you have a message for Esato?
amagab says:
I will be moving back to Hawaii soon and hope to bring more islanders to Esato. Mahalo!
Thank you to my guest, amagab, and join me next time when I shall be speaking with nickrooster, SE-Naz, lazarini, ThreeX and Esato-Nokia legend, Flying Finn.

@davo
Most interviews are conducted through PM, but one or two are 'live' through MSN.
