Come up with creative responses to TSR's Purple Screen of Doom™*

* trademark pending

Those of us that are particularly difficult, contrary, wary of pop ups, guarded of data which we have likely already provided to TSR in a roundabout way through years of posting on the forum but for some reason we don't want to fill out this survey because we're miserable and others in-between may be familiar with this delightful little gizmo that's been popping up all over the shop recently:

Look at this little dude! I call it the Purple Screen of Doom™ (PSOD for short). Isn't it cute? He's had a makeover too - some of you might be old enough to remember him before he dyed his hair purple.

Here it is in text form:

Can you think of a more interesting survey for TSR to interrupt our browsing with? Or if not, can you come up with some more exciting options to the current one?

Without wanting to wine on about the PSOD so raisen the bar a bit, it could ask

Favourite supermarket to shoplift from

Largest age gap in a relationship

Favourite pizza toping

Just how short is short

...

Those academic questions just lack relevance/imagination

some classic TSR questions there, maybe the PSOD should give us a list of A*s and ask if it's getting into the ever-elusive University of Oxbridge?
Top/Hot TSR Topics (joke post):

[start]What would you like to discover on TSR?[/start]

React and how some people don’t like it.

Do university rankings matter?*

Oxbridge and everything to do with it.

Medicine, Economics and Law.

Applicant threads.

I want to do 5+ A-levels, is this a good idea?

Help! I’ve been caught shoplifting from Sainsbury’s/Primark, what do I do?

Do looks matter in a relationship? Because women only care about a man’s looks in a relationship.

I’m lonely, how do I make friends?

Hurt/Heal Games

Trolls/trolling and incoherent spamming from Toad*

Does pineapple belong on pizza?

I'm not a student but I like TSR and the community so I’m here to discover the community and/or provide help and advice for others.

TSR? Nah I’m just going to be here really quickly then it’s back to Reddit.

Perhaps the survey should ask what colour it should change to next?

Picking an option immediately uodates the survey colour, but importantly, does not close it.

Pressing close increases the size of the survey by 10%.

I'd enjoy clicking the X more if it had a counter... It'd make clicking X more gamified.

We're asking you this for the 367th time... Only 7 members have completely ignored the question more often than you.

What qualifications are you taking?

I like this idea. I'd suggest a leaderboard to highlight the users who've answered it the most times in a single day, but that might encourage people to cheat using bots. :sadnod:
