Someone, please, tell me that I didn't predict this in the very beginning of the thread? Hah. I'm the goddess of self-fullfilling prophecy, I'm afraid.

Since I'm unsure where you got lost, I'll just start from the beginning:

- Some really stupid questions were asked in the Digg Dialogg, so Trent said he'd answer some "true fan" questions and that he wanted us to organise ourselves.
- There was a public outcry over the meaning of "true fan"
- People posted a bunch of stupid questions in a dedicated "post your questions here" thread. (Except for the people who are still posting questions in the wrong thread.)
- the nin.com mods decided a committee should be elected to select 20(ish) questions that would then go to a public nin.com members public poll to get the 10 "best" questions.
- There was a public outcry over the meaning of "self organise"
- nin.com members nominated/voted on a committee, which was supplemented by a few mod-selected mods.
- There was a public outcry because the nomination instructions weren't clear.
- The committee threw out all the questions and made up their own sorted through 500+ stupid questions and came up with 23 passable questions.
- There was a public outcry because some people didn't like the questions chosen, and some people accused the committee of various wrongdoings, despite no-one ever mentioned giving the committee any guidelines.
- The 23 questions went to a public poll for 48(?) hours and the 10 questions were determined.
- There was a public outcry, where several people gave their opinions on the questions selected, far too late to do any good.
- There was also an unofficial poll, which has yielded a fair selection of questions which may indicate that there was no need for a committee.
- The nin.com mods asked people for input as to which mod should conduct the video interview with Trent: no-one really cared, so they chose Papagolash.
- There was a public outcry over Papagolash's health and finances.
- Trent is currently waiting for Papagolash to find time in his schedule to do the interview. (or something like that anyway.)

Future:
- Interview video is posted.
- There is a public outcry because Trent avoided answering every single question and we don't actually learn anything or get the answers we want and this whole thing was a complete waste of time.
- Trent decides never to do agree to this kinda thing ever again.

(Note: this post may contain several attempts at humour, your personal experience may vary.)

Can I nominate you as Official Secretary of the NIN site? Seriously, you rock, that was great, my friend!

Funny and overall, true. IMO.

I completely failed to predict the real future:
There is a public outcry because the interviewer added his own 11th question and completely bypassed the committee and the public voting.

It does seem like Trent was happy with how it went.

^^I think people have forgotten by now what the 10 questions were supposed to be and so aren't going to notice or care about that 11th one.

Next time I think we should have a poll like the one you designed but no voting down: you vote for the 10 you want and the top 10 get asked. The end. Put a cap on the number of words allowed. Someone had suggested a one-sentence limit but that is TOO limiting and only allows for very basic superficial (read: stupid idiotic fluff) questions. The average # of words for this past list was I think 200 per question and they weren't overly long.

If NIN went on AFTER Jane's Addiction, how is it that you missed 45 minutes of the show? Also, doesn't that make NIN the headliner?

So many questions...
