Sanic: Thank you for agreeing to do the interview with me, sphynx! tell me about you, what do you do in life?
marioman_sphynx: I go antiquing quite a bit and I've restored antiques several times. I'm currently trying to get my drivers license.
Sanic: Tell me, sphynx. When did you first join Worlds?
marioman_sphynx: I think it was around 2018-2019. So almost a decade ago.
Sanic: How did you first hear about Worlds?
marioman_sphynx: I first heard about Worlds from a live stream Vinesauce Vinny did where he explored Worlds.
Sanic: What made Worlds seem attractive to you?
marioman_sphynx: The appeal of 1990s internet and retro computer games/software.
Sanic: How was your initial impression of Worlds? can you describe a certain interaction or experience?
marioman_sphynx: Yes. I remember there used to be a user named Holden on here who used the Holden avatar, and he followed me around on Worlds for like over an hour I think it was while I was exploring.
Sanic: And how did that make you feel?
marioman_sphynx: I was a little weirded out by it, but at the end of the day I found it more funny than anything.
Sanic: What are your thoughts on the current management and community of LibreWorlds?
marioman_sphynx: It's great! We have a very dedciated community here.
marioman_sphynx: And the managment is very dedciated as well!
Sanic: Do you wish to see more people joining? or do you like the community to remain small?
marioman_sphynx: I'd love to see more people and join and discover this hidden gem.
Sanic: What do you think can be improved in LibreWorlds?
marioman_sphynx: There are some Worlds that still have missing web content, if we could recover those contents, that would be a great improvement.
Sanic: Would you recommend any worlds for people to explore?
marioman_sphynx: Silicone Town defintely. That is a big one to explore however.
Sanic: I heard your avatar can be found somewhere in Silicone Town. Is that right?
marioman_sphynx: Yes! 2 places actually!
marioman_sphynx: 2 different versions can be found.
Sanic: That is very interesting!
Sanic: Do you have anything to say for the readers?
marioman_sphynx: Yes I hope to see you all check out Worlds, it really is worth the time :)
