BootCast Head DJ Interview! ProvertXIII
Two weeks ago, our old Head DJ, DJ Sylv had stepped down from her position and quit. A few days later Bootleggers Administrator, Sabin, announced in the Game Forum our new appointed Head DJ- DJ Mags! The joyful long life living Australian who brings us entertainment at all times, was now in charge of the fairly new feature.

I had the chance to get an interview with Mags and he kindly answered some questions for us. Firstly, I asked him “What was it like when you got promoted? How did you feel?” Mags responded saying, “I’m very honored to have got the position as the BootCast gives me great fun and excitement.” He was also stating that becoming a Head DJ is like a dream job.

When the Buzz asked the days before he got promoted, he stated "It all started two weeks ago. I was skyping with Sabin and we were running over the current list of DJ’s and he was asking my opinion on who ranked as what in regards to like Senior DJ’s, Junior DJ’s and of course, Trainees. Then he asked out of all the DJ's who do I feel would make the best Head DJ and truth be told I actually said that Myst or Ballisteri would, in my opinion, make the grade the best and well seems the Boss thought I would be better for the job so here we are now."

"Nothing more or less than I do now," stated the Head DJ when we asked what to expect from him. He continued, "some question my methods but I aim to have fun regardless how controversial. It has been drummed in to us so many times that the BootCast is not Game related, so I would rather see my DJ's get involved and get excited rather than adhere to some guidelines.. .as thats what rules are really." When we asked him about hiring new qualified talent, he continued to state, "I will be aiming to have many DJ's from all around the world differing in all kinds of musical tastes so that ideally we have such a list of DJ's that the BootCast runs as close to 24/7 as possible."

Some people must be wondering, what can we do to become a BootCast DJ? Well, read on! Mags said “belief in themselves and excitement. No good being a DJ and being boring. When I am back home, (I'm current on vacation). I will be running advertisements in the Off Topic Forum for new DJ's and that will highlight what people need to do to apply.”

There was also something Mags added “Regardless what people think of how I conduct myself in something I thoroughly enjoy, I would like all players of the game to get behind the BootCast. You guys bring a smile to the face of the DJ by just tuning in and taking an active interest. Remember the more fun you have or involvement you show then the more fun and exuberance the DJ shows. And thats about it really. It's all about having fun and just doing your best. Supporters always out number the complainers. Tread on some toes on your path to having many feet stomping.”

The Bootleggers Buzz also wish Sylv a farewell to the BootCast, Help Desk and Bootleggers!
