E) Strongly Disagree[/i]

1) I find OtakuBoards rules easy to understand and follow.
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms][b]B) Agree[/b]. I understand them, but from time to time I have a hard time following them, because I believe some of them to be too uptight.[/color][/font]

2) I feel that the staff at OtakuBoards understand their job and are capable of performing it appropriately.
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms][b]B) Agree[/b]. They seem to follow and enforce the rules to the letter, but there's been a few (rare) times where I've felt their actions were unnecessary.[/color][/font]

3) OtakuBoards is easy to navigate.
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms][b]A) Strongly Agree[/b]. Everything is organized, very descriptive and clean, just they way I like it.[/color][/font]

4) OtakuBoards has a friendly atmosphere.
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms][b]A) Strongly Agree[/b]. Sometimes it's [i]too[/i] friendly/sensitive.[/color][/font]


[b]SECTION B[/b]

Please try to keep your answers relatively short in this section.

5) How often do you visit OtakuBoards?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]Once a day, but very rarely do I stay on for long.[/color][/font]

6) Do you feel that the rules are too strict/not strict enough/fine as they are?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]They are either too strict, or enforced too strictly. There are times that certain situations require the use of common sense that, at that particular situation, doesn't seem present in the rules.[/color][/font]

7) Should we continue to uncensor the creative writing areas on OtakuBoards?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]Yes, as I'm very much against censoring.[/color][/font]

8) Would you rather a decentralized forum system on OB (more forums, less activity per forum) or a centralized forum system (less forums, more activity per forum)?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]"Fewer," not less. Fewer forums and more activity in each is the way to go. With too many forums, there are bound to be some very inactive ones.[/color][/font]

9) Would you like to see a closer integration of myOtaku and OtakuBoards?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]I don't know what "myOtaku" is, so my answer's "yes."[/color][/font]

10) Are you signed up to myOtaku.com?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]Probably not.[/color][/font]

11) If you are not signed up to myOtaku.com, do you plan to sign up in the near future?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]I don't know what it is, so I can't tell.[/color][/font]

12) Do you read Announcements at OtakuBoards?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]On occasion.[/color][/font]

13) Which single Category (Category, as opposed to individual Forum) do you spend most of your time visiting?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]Otaku Anime and Otaku Gamer.[/color][/font]

14) Do you think that OtakuBoards should offer an in-built chat system as part of our service? If we included a chat, would you use it?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]If many people use it, yes.[/color][/font]

15) If we offered an "OtakuBoards Wireless" service that would be accessible via Internet-capable cellphones, would you use it?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]No. I'm not going to be online when I'm away from my computer where I can be more productive doing something else.[/color][/font]

16) When we offer a next generation version of OtakuBoards, should we continue to provide semi-regular community events in our Event Arena or a similar forum?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]Sure.[/color][/font]

17) If you could add one new Category (Category, not Forum) to OtakuBoards, what would it be?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]A category where rules are a lot less harsh, gearing towards forums concentrating on letting off steam and such. It would also help in keeping spam and such away from other forums.[/color][/font]

18) If you could remove one Category from OtakuBoards, what would it be?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]Otaku Series. Square Enix and Zelda can go in the Otaku Gamer category, and Pokémon could be/should be/must be eliminated.[/color][/font]

19) If you could add anything to OtakuBoards (in terms of a new forum, a technical tool/feature, etc), what would it be?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]"General Gaming Chat." A forum where topics relating to all three systems, or gaming in general could be posted.[/color][/font]

20) On a scale of 1-10 (1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest), how would you rate your experience at OtakuBoards since you registered?
[color=darkblue][font=trebuchet ms]8. -1 for the sometimes-uptight rules, and -1 for the forum being limited to all threads having essay-like posts. I can rarely engage into a discussion because there are too many big posts, and I feel the need to read them all before giving my input; but I can't because I don't always have time to read it all (Actually, I don't choose to spend my time that way continually).

Sorry if my answers were a little long.[/color][/font]
