Once we have a volunteer, I'll create a thread, people can ask questions and the volunteer can answer them. After a week or so I'll close the thread and we can move on to the next volunteer.

We'll keep the questions related to the Rock & Metal forum and not too personal.

So is this something you folks would be interested in? Got anything else to add?

Edit: Okay, good to see some interest immediately, I'll stick a list of victims volunteers here so we can keep track of who's up:

Ive seen this work well in the nocturnal forum (i lurk there a bit) amongst others.
Discussion threads, like this, promote more of a "forum" feel rather than the "list" threads, good idea imo.
You can put me on the spot for the first one if you want.

Catchy thread name btw

Hmm, she wrote

+1 here

which I am taking to mean "Good idea". I've only added people to the list who have explicitly requested to be added to the list. If I'm wrong then I would request that anyone who wants to be on the list but hasn't explicitly requested to be added please let me know.

I suppose we could quietly shuffle you in front of Zombienosh. It would be good to get a female perspective anyway. I am of course assuming Mushy and scudzilla are blokes .
