Please suggest some Forumosan Survey Questions

About Site Feedback
1

We are planning a forum survey to better understand how you use Forumosa and what you would like to see on the website. We’ve asked this a lot of times, and we have received great feedback in the past. I hope that with a formal survey, we can get even more insight in a format that is visible but not in your way.

I admit - I don’t write surveys often enough, so I’d like to open the floor to any questions you think we should include to make sure ours is useful

The plan is to use something like SurveyMonkey.com - and add links to the user survey to our sitemaps, introductory email and notifications.

We’ll ask basic demographic information, but I’m interested in learning what you want out of Forumosa and hwo you use the website. If you like, we can share with you the data as an aggregate when we are done

Well I’ll take the chance i’m going to be drowed out by all the other suggstions flooding in.

Have a "dig it" or "don't dig it" vote on the posts, a bit like [digg.com/](http://www.digg.com/)

Thanks for replying :slight_smile:

I am not sure I follow, though - yours sounds more like a suggestion for the forum than for the Forumosan User Survey I described.

Are you suggesting we include a question like: Would you click on a “dig it” / “don’t dig it” feature on posts, like on digg.com?

We already have a lot of social bookmarking on the threads - but I’ll consider your suggestion in our reboot

Is Forumosa your only friend, or is it a way to make friends?

Do you hate intolerant posters?

Are the rules a crock of shit, or do you strictly adhere to them, regardless of whether you actually need written rules or just good manners?

Does the appalling quality of some of the written English on this site bother you?

Is GooseEgg a crazy name or what?

10

What features would you like to see added/ removed?
(I’m hoping for forumosa games: online backgammon, crib, chess, Settlers, ect for bragging rights.)

11

games would be cool… now, where to find room to store all that on already overloaded servers?

Definitely poll to see which features could be removed/added. I like the way Goose Egg keeps coming up with new implementations and add-ons, but I am not convinced that many people use them.

Thank you. These are great questions :notworthy: keep’em coming :slight_smile:

We’ll probably use SurveyMonkey.com, so we’ll probably use yes/no, likert scales (strongly agree/agree/huh?/disagree/strongly disagree) and multiple choice type formats when we can

And to encourage a lot of responses, we could offer a free iPod, dinner for 2 at Alleycats or roundtrip tickets on the HSR - or something like that

You might have noticed that I posted just now about a Forum Reboot. We are feedback fiends, so I hope you will see pretty soon the impact of the online survey as well as this feedback forum
