A new interview with the creator of SnowJapan has been put online.

"Last month I sat down with Mr Andrew Lea, otherwise known on the Forums as SJ#1, and more importantly the creator of SnowJapan and still the man in charge of the operation. Over the years we have had many people ask us about SnowJapan and I took this opportunity to ask him a few questions about the site, how it got started, it's history and future.

SJForums (David), February 2008"

That really was very interesting.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and good luck.

Gread read indeed. Are you taking questions for a follow-up?

That was a long read. But interesting, thanks.
It actually answers a few ??s I had.
Cheers.

cool. A lot of detail, good background info too.

Looks interesting, I'll read that later. Thanks!

Wow. That's a lot.

Very interesting interview.

Great to get all that background!
Cheers

great article. top read.
i've been curious for quite a while as to the origins of SJ and the people who make it happen.

i particularly like this comment

Great read #1 and SJF, I got many of the things I was wandering answered.

Keep up the good SJ.

That was really interesting thanks for sharing all that detail.

I have always thought you guys do a really top job and some of the things in this interview only make that all the more clearer.

Keep it going!

Its funny how the members rotate in and out...I have forgotten my handle name that I had back in late 2000 early 2001...which could be a good thing.

This site has gone through loads of changes and has gotten better and better. It is amazing that its a free site as, for me, its just as good as porn = where else can you be ballz deep and get face shots...?

Glad to have such an informative site. Especially the forums, glad to have met so many like-minded people on here Keep up the great work SJ#1!!

That took a while to read! But it was very interesting I agree. Thanks for sharing all the info.

It's also great to see to foreigners such as SJ#1 doing good in Japan. SJ seems to have its fair share of achievers and do-ers.

Apart from the fact that this is a quality site, I'm always impressed with how they deal with stuff that goes down sometimes on the Forums. Some people might get frustrated at times for whatever reason, but I bet this place is all the better for it.

I've often wondered about this site and how it runs & funds itself.
Omoshiroi.

Thanks to sj.

Nice one

I think I need to sit down with a cup of coffee & some biscuits mid-morning for that lot.

I really enjoyed that.
Makes me understand some things more.

Cheers for all the hard work.
