A survey was given out to various 4K members and the results of the inquiries are as follows:

We asked members what was their favourite and least favourite board. The following two graphs indicate which boards were indicated:

It's interesting to note that the same boards were on both lists. It's also interesting to note that boards like Comments, Controversy, etc weren't part of either list. Flame board was one of the more popular boards on 4degreez, yet it appears that popularity hasn't transferred over to 4th Kingdom.

Another question asked was what additions to 4k would members like to see. Those who responded gave a pretty good list. Maybe the Powers that Be can look to re-prioritising the TO DO list!!

Most respondents would like more abilities to earn money (like jobs) and the ability to transfer money between members. The next group of wants are a chat function and direct icon trading. Other ideas mentioned were:

• A "ding" for the messages
• Animated Icons
• Ability to create your own icon
• The ability to rent a board and give keys to certain people
• Icons Repossessed from Inactive members
• More colour
• More people
• More statistics

The next question asked was to find out about the New Member volume on 4k is. This has been graphed as follows:

A few members indicated that while there seems to be a lot of members being invited, there doesn't seem to be nearly enough sticking around or signing in. But clearly the members of 4k feel that we can use more members!!

The final question asked falls right in line with this desire for membership. The questioned asked was "What keeps you coming back to 4th Kingdom?". Considerations like...Quality of discussion/posts, Gossip and Sense of community all fall in line with the overwhelming response that it is THE PEOPLE who keep us coming back to 4th Kingdom!! It is because of YOU as to why this site is as great as it is. I think we all need to pat ourselves on the back for this too, because there just isn't a better place on the internet than good ole 4th Kingdom.

Ye Old Ink Blot would like to thank each and everyone of you who took the time to complete this survey. If you like to read about what your fellow members think, please communicate to the Blot editors with your ideas for questions and we'll be happy to put them into action in future editions!!
