Hello Hawk.

Hi.

Thanks for letting me interview you today.

It's a real pleasure.

So, what can you tell us about yourself?

I am 15, American, play Soccer, and Eagle Scout, and I play RS on and off.

What are you planning to do in the future?

I either want to be a pharmacist or go into something in computers. I mainly like Web Design and Programming so far though.

You told us you're American. Knowing that your native language is English, are you fluent at any other languages?

Not "fluent," but I can understand quite a bit of Spanish. I currently am taking Spanish III at my school.

What's your favorite food type, music genre and music band/singer?

I like Mac'n'cheese (eating it right now). I usually listen to whatever is on the radio, but I prefer Rock music (Any kind). One of my favorite bands is called Cauterize, not known by many people though. I found out about it through a GameCube game.

You recently became a Sal's Clan Chat moderator. What can you tell about this?

Well, I started going to Sal's Clan Chat back shorlty after the feature came out. It was usually silent back then. But then, more and more people came. And finally, the spammers came. Synapsi (Vogrinjr) and I both tried very hard to get either more ranked people or the ranked members to come to the chat more often, and eventually, I sent a PM to Sal pleading for help. He told my about the idea of the nomination topic. I was nominated, chosen, then we waited for like two weeks to be promoted. We had tons of spammers just coming in to get kicked, but they slowly started leaving. Now the chat is mostly peaceful, with the occasional spammer. We are going to be promoting some new Chat Mods sometime soon, taking the names off of the Nomination topic.

What can you tell us about your RuneScape life?

I started a long time ago when I heard people talking about it on the school bus. I'm a total noob. One day, I just started playing it a lot more than usual. That lasted for about 3 months. My parents ended up taking my computer away completely after that. Now I play just a bit each day, sometimes not going on at all, other times getting on for at least two hours.

What do you think about the game overall? The recent updates, the main structure, etc?

I enjoyed the game a lot more when I started than what it is now. It is a nice game and you can actually interact with people unlike the other computer games I play. I don't really like the trading update, but I do not mind the Wilderness update. I never was a big fan of PKing. I really enjoyed giving gifts and such to friends, but now it is hard to do that. I do like the quest stories though. That is one of the things that has kept me playing.

Do you have any special goals at the moment, or just playing RuneScape for fun?

I don't really have any RS goals anymore, just seeing what levels I am close to getting and training to get them. I mainly play to talk to people now.

How did you find out about Sal's Realm and its forums?

My friend told me about Sal's Realm when we were doing a quest. I used it for a long time and only found out about the forums about a year and three months ago by clicking on the link in the sidebar.

Which forums are you active the most in? Or is it the blogs that seek your attention the most?

I mainly look through the Website Content Submissions and Blogs. I sometimes check out the RS Questions section if I am bored.
