    CEans,

    We've installed a little survey tool to gather anonymous feedback from our users. The system shows a pop-up message and asks you to fill up a small questionnaire (takes less than a minute) which gives us an overall view of what our users think of CrazyEngineers.

    If you have any questions; please post them here. You may choose not to answer the poll and the pop-up won't be shown to you again. We're running a pilot and only a few of our visitors will notice the pop-up message in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

    We encourage you to take up the survey as it helps us planning for the future and bring awesome, innovative things for you.

    I must be a random chap. It popped up three times even after I took the survey on seeing the announcement.

    That's strange. It should have been shown only once to you. Anyways, we'll run it only for a short period of time.

    Ya I got the popup yesterday. And I answered all the questions. Questions are bit strange :)

    And again I got that popup now. As Bioramani sir said, it is considering IP addresses rather than accounts.

    When does this survey end?
    I'm still getting the pop-up message every time I log in.

    That is strange. Have you been logging in from different IPs every time?

    Update: We've retired the survey and no one should get any more pop-ups. Thank you for all your candid feedback :)

    The survey has been removed. The system chose people randomly based on their IP addresses. It was a third-party app and we had little control over who gets the pop-up. I think we'll employ a better survey tool in future, if we need to. We learned that a lot of people 'opened up' in anonymous feedback mechanisms. We don't get such responses when we ask for feedback through discussion threads here :)

    Is it possible to get the percentile (genderwise) distribution of number of members in each Specialty like IT,EE Chemical etc., in CE?
    It may be interesting to see how even or skewed CE population distribution is.
