Rick on Radio Aftonbladet and P4 Halland
Two days before the 30th anniversary, Rick talks on Radio Aftonbladet, the tabloid's web radio, and P4 Halland, Swedish public radio's local station in Halland, about Stajl Plejs, the guestbook, *kjamiz* and how AI built the jubilee site. Listeners send in their old nicknames.
*kjamiz* was something I planted. To see if you could get tens of thousands of people to start using it.
- On Radio Aftonbladet, Rick explains that he was called Rick, R-I-C-K: he was first and could pick whatever name he wanted.
- Listeners sent in their old nicknames, including Extreme Tiger Girl, Leffe Number One and Grym-Ellie. One of the presenters was Lindis80.
- Rick made up words like *kjamiz* and fiffa å moffa, partly to avoid computer words and abbreviations.
- P4 Halland interviews Rick in the studio in Varberg, a stone's throw from the old customs house (Tullhuset) where LunarStorm had its office.
- The average visit to LunarStorm was about 42 minutes, roughly as much time as we spend on social media today, but back then in one long visit.
- One of the biggest moments was when Nationalencyklopedin wrote its own entry on LunarStorm: then it was validated by the adult world.
- P4 Halland sums up the interview in a news segment of its own: at most LunarStorm had 75 employees and a turnover of SEK 100 million, and the jubilee site was built from 47,000 old emails and some 100,000 files.
