Our esteemed interviewee, PkmnTrainerJ
Following on from the interrogation, I mean, interview, with edennirvana, I decided to continue with this theme.
So todays soapbox introduces the legend...PkmnTrainerJ!
Why? The guy is a ファンポップ legend. He was one of the main contributers when I started on this site and is still going strong.
1) Got to be asked...when did あなた discover Fanpop, and how?
That seems like ages ago. I discovered ファンポップ because I was searching for ロスト related websites, and found the ロスト spot here. I remember that my first piece of content was also ロスト related. It was a プレビュー for the 次 episode to air that week 'Par Avion'.
2) You've been on the site for so long, you've become an institution. Do あなた feel like other Fanpoppers defer to あなた because of this?
I don't think I've been on as long as some people, but I suppose it'll be a whole 年 on ファンポップ soon. I have had other Fanpoppers come at me with ロスト 質問 または spot creation questions, all of which I'm happy to answer.
3) We all know of your deep friendship with Benji, but who else do あなた connect with on the site?
I connect well with johnminh, knifewrench, maybeastarbucks, grahamb and TheLostBrotha to name but a few. Anyone I add to ファン Of The Fortnight I consider a good ファン (unless they are a new ファン who is up and coming).
4) Best thing about the Fanpoppers?
Phew...Just one thing? The general community spirit of Fanpoppers is great, and the humour that some Fanpoppers such as あなた and chel1395 come up with sometimes is hilarious. Ah nuts, that was two things...Oh well. (Note: I'm blushing!)
5) Worst thing about the Fanpoppers?
When a Fanpopper creates a spot with no アイコン または banner, または making Picks that are biased. Snerkie used to be great at making banners for spots, but seems to have faded away recently. (Wow, this just seems like a big "name-drop" 一覧 so far)
Kaboom!
6) Favourite colour socks?
I have these 虹 coloured indivual toe socks that are cool, but I must have about 60 pairs of plain black socks, so we'll go with black.
7) You've seen the site develop and grow over the last twelve months. Are there any changes あなた wish あなた could undo?
Hmmm...this is a tricky one. I suppose I'd change the spots back to being spots rather than being ファン クラブ as they are now, but I do understand it's for 検索 engine optimization and it does work.
8) What does ファンポップ mean to you?
Fanpopping is under the T9 text entry in my phone. That's how big a thing it is to me. Everything I 愛 is here, along with a great community.(Note: THAT'S dedication!)
9) Are the ファンポップ Four foolish dreamers または hardened realists?
They're inbetween. Some things they imagine for the site are really, really great.
10) Which Fanpopper scares あなた the most?
Scares me? Knifewrench's eyes can look a little scary, but I think that I could have a friendly conversation with any of you.
11) Placing your full name on ファンポップ is..?
Ah. Caught あなた out. Joseph Robertson isn't actually my full name. Joseph is my first name, I have two middle names, and Robertson is a name I use as I don't use my father's last name anymore, but I still officially have that name. I can understand putting it on though. Mine is on my フェイスブック page. (Note: Damn! Caught out!)
12) Are あなた really someone famous just trying to get subtly promote your spot behind that username?
Unfortunately not. I'll try and sneak on to ロスト at some point and be an extra, または apply when some minor roles come up that I think I could do. Then I'll wait until people see the episode and say "That's me!".
Its Joe!
13) What pearls of wisdom do あなた have for new and old Fanpoppers?
If あなた have any ideas at all for how to improve Fanpop, do tell the ファンポップ Four. It's a little known fact that I suggested the Shipping section for ファンポップ when speaking to papa. I'm not a big shipper myself, but with all the JAM, スケート and AdvanceShipping that is discussed on other websites I thought ファンポップ was missing out. Thus it was made and now we have many thriving Couples and 'Shipping spots. (Note: Oh, that's what Shippers means...)
14) What is the worst type of ファンポップ user?
Trolls are of course bad. Also those users who make general hate picks etc. for that spot because they don't like it.
15) If God is a DJ..?
ジーザス is an MC?
16) Favourite spot?
Why, the ロスト spot of course. I also 愛 all the dedication to the Brawl spot, even though the game isn't out yet.

Thank あなた to J, for submitting yourself to my nosiness.
Worn out from questioning!
We all want to feel safe
As I wrote my last soapbox, an Eメール came into my inbox. It was from my college. It warned that three young women had been attacked on the walkway between the north campus, and the main campus. While the attacks were not serious, they were still unnerving, especially to a nervous group of female first 年 psychology students, who had to attend tutorials on North Campus in the evenings. 
This Eメール chilled me, and not in a good ice cream way. These walkways are supposed to be patrolled. With at least one attacker still at large, it hit me at how unsafe I...
