In our gaming world, clubs form and disband over night. Clubs that last several years must be doing something right. Now imagine a club that is older than the world wide web. Founded in 1991, the Starfleet Sim Club (STF)is, at 16 years of age, older than some of its members.

It can lay claim to being the oldest club in existence, and even to coming up with the idea of the sim club in the first place.

The spotlight interviews will focus on players and gamemasters of various textbased online roleplaying games such as PBEM games and IRC sims.

This month, our first, we have given Andy Longman, 27 years old from Bournemouth in the UK a chance to share his thoughts about a couple of questions.

Andy is a moderator for the PBEM game JMC Blue Dwarf (www.bluedwarf.co.uk) .

He apparently also has something of a reputation on Mallorca after getting an entire 18-30's holiday group banned from a bar.

The spotlight interview for July is with Jay of the USS Stargazer, he is 31 years old and from New York City. He is an experienced chat player.
