I agree with this some of my answers were simply because I at sometime actually donated/ participated, but some info isn't recent (due to the age of my account). I would've liked a comment section to explain a little. Thank you ^__^
I did complete and It did go through no problems.
I do believe FP could be better balanced on the site.
I am NOT saying that it's difficult to make though I do believe you either have to be on for long durations to chat, or be good at selling, or do art (None of which I excel in on this site anyways). But I do believe the sinks do not match the income of a standard not that old user. If I hadn't been on the site as long as I have been I wouldn't be doing good at all.
Spoiler
I know I keep FP and FC for treasure trove items, event items, knuffel item purchases, daycare, materials and a plethora of things a great deal of them (though not all) limited in time frame. The only reason I have the amount of FP I do is because of selling really old items at a higher price and that is incredibly infrequent (that I have buyers). So I save everything I have and rarely spend with exception to daycare for my wilds occasionally. I can definitely not afford to purchase things in the FP shops often (which is a bit of a deterrent to me). And I know I am not the only one with this problem.
In the beginning of the site getting commons was so much easier, because more FP stayed in circulation. Now though I gave up owning Purikura and having every BG quest because I simply can't afford it. With what little I make digging (less then 500-1K FP mostly).
I can not do art online so I personally feel incredibly limited in ways I can make FP (though that's not entirely because of a lack of ways to earn FP as it is the time needed which I do believe is the deterrent and will always scare away new users).

Got the same mySql error after I skipped a question and tried to resubmit. And like l-lappy said, a comment box would be nice.

Thank you for the food!
I don't know if you want more opinions here in the thread itself, but I kind of wanted to clarify a little, and there wasn't a comment box on the survey.
I think getting food points is pretty much perfect right now. In my opinion, it's not terribly difficult or terribly time consuming (and I like that; on some sites I feel like getting currency is a full time job). It's just difficult enough to make it feel a little challenging and to make me feel like I accomplished something when I save up enough to buy what I want (and I like that too; on some sites it's so easy that it sort of takes all the fun out of it). So I think it's very well balanced. If I had to change anything about food points, I might make it so that new people get a little bit more. Like, maybe the first post you ever make in the forums, or even in each subforum, would give more (maybe 25 or even 50 or 100?). Or maybe the first poll, or even the first five or so polls, that you ever take could offer more. Or maybe your first knuffle could be free or half price. Or maybe there could be a sort of tutorial of the site that awards food points as you do it (maybe for a total of 2.5k food points so that you can buy your first knuffle with it). Something like that. Because it can be a tad difficult to get started, but I think once you do get started, the food points roll in at pretty much the perfect rate.

Wren and me both live together so naturally we share an IP. Unfortunately for me this means I can't even submit my own survey food points or no.

Yay, I'm useful!
As an idea for earning more FP, and if it's not too difficult to program, what about event surveys for feedback? Then you could get a cross section of what parts of the events people like, what parts they didn't, and use that for next time. Not everyone' going to post every thing they liked or didn't like.
I dunno, it kind of just popped into my head, so I figured I'd say something now before I forget.

Done and no error here^^
Same thing, no comment box so I'm posting here. I'm not especially favorable about giving more fp for art posting and rating cause I feel like there'll be too much nonsense posted just for the sake of earning money. The current amount is not enough to get me into rating it either, probably more because it's slighlty painful. I'd probably rate more if the gallery thing was changed. Like just shrinking the design a bit so you don't have to scroll that much to have the image, then "scroll back" to rate, or a way to have the anchor at the top of the image instead of the top of the page like we're totally changing page (I don't know if I'm clear -_-). Something more like slides would be smoother. Well, it's just for comfort anyways.

Agree on that. I'm not that new but I really had trouble for a very long while. Maybe a 2-months period where your food is doubled or I dunno what could be nice ?
I left the site not a long time after being registered cause it was just too complicated. I eventually came back but maybe not everyone does.
On the other hand, there's also more items available for a cheaper price now...

Sorry guys, database table misconfiguration caused some IPs to be blocked, and an error in my code caused the answers to be posted anyway. SHould be fixed now, and you should be able to do the survey again.
