Hey everyone. SB Nation would very much like to hear your opinions and feedback on the user experience on this site. We are always trying to improve user experiences, navigation and brand integrations and your feedback is valuable in this process. All responses will be kept confidential and the entire process will only take a few minutes.
Also, as incentive to participate, for the 3 SB Nation sites with the highest percentage of completed surveys, SB Nation will make a $500 donation to the charity of our choice, in our name. When the time comes, we'll ask the community which charity you want to receive the $500.
Help us out in making the site better and let's get a little bit of money to put toward a good cause. Given the size of Bloody Elbow and how active you all are as members of the community, I fully expect us to be one of those top three sites.
You guys don't want MMA Mania to beat Bloody Elbow, do you?
You can take the survey by clicking here. And again, your responses are confidential and anonymous.

14. If your favorite SB Nation site disappeared tomorrow, what would you miss the most?
The fact that I’d no longer have somewhere to discuss MMA intelligently without people trolling, making homophobic rants, and otherwise being a constant nuisance in the community like over at MMAMania.

That was a real kick and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultraviolent.

15. Is there anything else you'd like to share with us about your experiences with SB Nation and other sports sites?
Bloody Elbow is unlike any other MMA website. The dedication and passion of the staff and fans both are unparalleled, and can be attributed to why I’ve become such a fan of the sport these past few years.
I got your back, BE!

Damn, I didn't even think to cut and copy my responses...
On the question about other sports sites (ESPN, Bleacher Report, etc. ) I spent a paragraph shitting on Franklin McNeil.

I thought about doing that, but just said that some people over there are not qualified to be covering the sport. Good blanket statement for all the other sites.

jesus that was a long survey
I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.

I came here to make the same suggestion.

I was gonna use this but decided not to just in case the people reading didn't get it.
30 Helens agree, Bloody Elbow is the best SBNation site
done
And it should go to wounded warrior

As much as I hate MMA Mania (and MMA Nation, for that matter), I hate surveys even more, especially long ones. Sorry.
Apparently, you also hate charity and curing diseases too!
Do it for the kids, Shnak. The kids!

If kids knock on my door to sell me crap, I’ll usually buy it from them. But I won’t fill a survey for them. That’s how much I hate surveys.
He's got a point.

Thanks for doing this, guys. I know surveys are boring as hell but it’s for a good cause and helps us learn how to make things better for the future.

I DEED EET
Those were some really good questions, didn’t seem like the generic survey I usually see. Hopefully BE wins and gets some recognition from the mothership.

Re posting what i posted elsewhere in this network:
My only complaint and this applies to SBNation as a whole not just this blog.
What the f*ck is up with the loading times on this site? seriously each page takes forever to load, every time you click on a link it reloads everything even the things that stay the same (title bar etc.) shouldn’t that just reaload from the cache?
I don’t even directly click on anything on this site anymore, i always open every link in a new tab and just wait for it to load cause it takes so god damn long. This is the only site out of everywhere i go on the internet that does this and it’s awful and irritating. I don’t know if it’s to increase page hits or if it’s just cause this site isn’t optimized for my browser, or if it’s just really really crappy site architecture and implementation. But it totally reeks of amateur hour or whoring it up to advertisers either one is not good especially for a network of sites this big. Even if SBNation cares more about their advertisers than their end users at least give the impression of giving a F*ck.
Love all the content, love the communities, hate the site implementation and architecture.

Too long
The survey was too long, with too many required questions that required too much thought.
I almost quit when it said that the 8×10 matrixes were required. Instead, I just filled out a neat pattern and continued.
I know this was an anonymouse survey, but here were some of my answers:
5) Bloody Elbow – cause Brent Brookhouse told me if I didn’t, MMAMania would beat us.
6) I have no life.

6. Why do you spend time on your favorite SB Nation site? How would you describe it to a friend or colleague?
I get to post pictures and videos of cats and talk mma with people I consider to be smart and some of them like friends. It gave me awesome things like the BROCKLESNAR!!!! sign and Lets Mutherfukers.
Dear Brock Lesnar,
Please beat Alistair Overeem. That is all.

on my feelings of espn.com
ESPN.com is nothing but East Coast bias filled nonsense. They also employ Colin Cowherd, which should put them on the terrorist watch list

Screw charities.
Give $50 gift certificates for UFC PPV’s to ten lucky winners drawn randomly. I’m betting half the members on this site would qualify as non-profits.
