Hey guys,

I'm conducting this survey about forums cause my friends and I are doing a start-up intending to improve the forum industry. So where better to conduct such surveys than in forums?

Pls help. Two participants will also walk away with an iPhone 4s for our lucky draw.

I filled it out

I'm curious as to where exactly are you guys getting the 2 Iphones?

I've grown rather reluctant to fill out such surveys, because too many of them are just trying to get some personal data. The fact that you just opened your account today also doesn't raise my confidence. Can you provide any proof that this is not just personal data mining?

Also, what exactly are you trying to do? The questions strike me as extremely general and vague, in which way do you plan to use them to improve forum software?

Agreed. This all seems very much like a scam. The phone offers make it even more ridiculous, that's nearly $1000 for some survey from some random bastard on the internet.

Whatever the case was, I gave my spam email anyway

but yeah, this does look like a scam to me

Hi guys. Thanks for raising your concerns. I'll try my best to answer as many of them as possible, We bought it, of course. My partners and I have obtained a government start-up fund for research and marketing. This is part of our marketing budget. Hi, I highly understand where you're coming from. But let me assure you, every time someone answers this survey, it helps us to know our market better and will help us tailor a new forum interface that will benefit as many of you as possible.

Here's your prove. This is a beta version of our project. As you can see, the interface is made from scratch, very different and took a long time to build (but still can be improved a lot more).

definitely we won't spend so much effort on the site just to mine personal data, right? :)

And yes, I have to admit, I opened this account just to post this up. :)
So I hope I have raised your confidence about this survey. :)

Do help us with this SUPER short survey guys, and in the process, stand to win 2x iPhone 4s.

hehe, looks like spam IMHO, complete with links, nice touch offering the 2 chances in 2 billion for the phones though.

Since GOG does their own forum design and increasing "your" knowledge of "your" market for "your" new company is not high on my to do list . . .I'll pass on the survey . . . =)

Surveys for iPhones are something I really don't want to see here.

Surveys for IPhones are a waste of time

For the cost of 2 Iphone 4S the OP should have bought hundreds of GOG games and given them out as the prizes instead

that would be much better for us and much more effective for him

I really don't like stuff with rounded corners. :(

Thanks Trilarion! Are they? Mind sharing their links here?
Awww... too bad. However, we're doing this survey over many other forums and websites too, so iPhones appeal to more people in that sense. :) Believe me, your chances are more like 2 in a few thousands. Not bad, since all you need to do is spare a few minutes, right? ;)

And well, I can't force you if you don't want to. However, let me assure you, Passiontab is far far from the vision we have for it. We have many features and modules in the pipeline which will change the forum experience by far. :)

One example of a similar forum would be:
