Hotseat revivial.

I thought some of our new members might be interested in this - or some of our old members if they want to have another go.

It was fun last time.


I was on a Canadian forum some years ago and they had a thread called 'The hot seat'
I would like to introduce it here.

A Hotseat is where a member puts themselves in the spotlight for a few days while fellow members ask them questions about themselves. Of course if they don't want to answer any questions they don't have to. On the forum I was on the Hotseat thread lasted a week so members don't have to rush all at once with their questions. After a week someone else went in the Hotseat ... It regularly got over 100 posts as of course you can ask as many questions as you like.

I introduced it to another forum last year and it was a success there too. We have enough lively people on this forum to make a go of it I reckon.

Re: Hotseat revivial.

I seem to remember we revised it a little on here.
We had the member in the hotseat for 3 days and then a 2 day break before the next one.

That worked out alright.

Please say if you're interested and we can start a list.

Personally I don't see the point, but each to their own.

Re: Hotseat revivial.

If you type 'Hotseat' into the search button a lot of the old threads will come up.

Give you an idea of what it's like.

I enjoyed reading them Carol, puts a bit of flesh on the bones of members, and one or two were eyeopeners.

Re: Hotseat revivial.

I thought it might appeal to some of our newer members.

Sweetie Pie gave me the idea with her 'Getting to know me' thread.

When I saw this I did laugh. I can't say I wasn't warned.
I'll have a go, if you want.

Re: Hotseat revivial.

That's good sweetie.
We'll leave it open over the weekend in case anybody else wants to have a go.

We'll start you in the Hotseat on Monday and close it Wednesday if that's ok with you?

Remember you don't have to answer anything you don't want to do.

Well done Sweetie, most of us, who took part last time, really enjoyed it.

Can I phone a friend?
Can I ask the audience?
