RAGNORAK'S INTERVIEW-FULL STORY by Amorian 2012/05/26 10:01
Below is a summary af the interveiw conducted on ragnorak by 2wap press paper
2wap press:Sir when exactly did you join 2wap world?
Ragnorak:July 2005
2wap press:Sir did you start as just a member and then a mod before finally an admin or it just happendspeedingly?
Ragnorak:I joined as a member having been invited by Hannah, who was 2wap's first admin. I became a moderator about 3 weeks later and an admin 3 months after that
2wap press:What was the online number like then at 2005 2006 2007?
Ragnorak:The online count has varied a lot in 2wap's history. When I first joined it was at about the same level it is now, but the following year it grew and usually there were 60-90 online. However 2wap closed briefly in the middle of 2006 for a script upgrade, and when we reopened the average count was at its lowest point ever for a while. But gradually it increased again until it reached the record which is still visible is Statistics today. The following 2 years or so were also quite strong,but in more recent times we've had a lot more competition from some big players
2wappress:Sir do you at times wish you were just a user?
Ragnorak:Not really. I have taken a break a couple of times in the past but have always continued tobe inextricably bound in spirit by my responsibilities here. I do however like browsing without tools sometimes while still being admin, which I have made possible for staff recently
2wappress: okay sir what are the few challanges you have faced in 2wap over the years or should i say many challanges
Ragnorak:Well when I was given the power to code and make technical improvements to the site it felt like a big challenge at first, but my love for 2wap meant I swiftly learned the intricacies of php and continue to find ways to make the developments I desire to. There were challenges with politics in the past too, which is something my time as admin has given me great experience of.
2wappress: okk sir alot of people realy want to be mods and gain one or two rites to 2ap taht the normal user doesnt have . So sir what are the criterias to be chosen as a mod?
Ragnorak:I've had this question a few times from different people. The main qualities we're looking for are patience, level-headedness, fair-mindedness and a non-partisan attitude, agood knowledge of this site and its features, good manners, trustworthiness, and a decent command of English
2wappress:Okay sir we all know that the number of onlineusers are reducing every day and day .what are you doing to change this cos we look to you as our big DAD here
Ragnorak:We took a big hit recently when everyone's password was changed - more than half have been issued a new password by now, but that still leaves about 40% of our regular visitors who haven't yet logged in again since. We hope these will gradually return and will do whatever we can to verify the identities of those who don't have email etc.
As for the wider picture, we are looking to grow our numbers by enhancing the interconnectedness of 2WapWorld. This process has already begun with the share linksyou see in topics, plus the guest version of the forums means that it's now possible for topicsto feature in search engine results. We want tomake this site a prime hub for sharing news, views and files etc via a mobile. Another avenue to gain momentum is advertising, and a trial run 6 months ago led to us having over 100 users online more than once. We plan to reestablish our campaign once our features have been sufficiently upgraded.
2wappress: okay sir dere recently have been some abusershere lately wat do you hve in mind to @do abt dis
Ragnorak:Abuse is a significant problem for all forum sites. Recently we made it so that new members must have a genuine unique email address in order to login after registering, which does make it much harder for them to keep coming back. We have the option to relaxthis at times such as when we're running an advertising campaign to get new members. We are still looking into other registration methods that would further increase our protection against abuser accounts. Of course we have many more privacy options now than we did 8 months ago, which mean members can opt only to receive messages from friends or block particular users
2wappress:Sir can i go a little private?
Ragnorak:You can try
2wappress:Are you married?
Ragnorak:No, I'm yet to have that experience
2wappress:But are you engaged?
Ragnorak:No
2wappress:Sir for the benefit of doubt when is your exact birthday date and how old are you sir?
Ragnorak:20th January 1980, which makes me 32.
2wappress:Finally sir what do u have to say about this new interveiw concept?
Ragnorak:I think it's fun. I look forward to the day when bigger names than myself will be interviewed here
2wappress:Yaeh perharps gumslone

It's always a revelation to see clear and direct answers given in an interview. Well done from interviewer and interviewee. I think the persona of Ragnorak was brought closer to all members.
