1. What NEW features would you most like to see added to the AntiOnline website?
You add them faster than I can think of one.
2. What CURRENT features would you change, and how (excluding the antipoints system)?
I would change the 'receive updates to this thread' function, so that one:[list=a][*]receives an email when someone posts something to the subscribed thread.[*]can read the body of the added post in the email.[/list=a]
Furthermore, I would delete the 'tech humor' forum. It's unrelated, off topic, and it takes to much space. Delete all threads that handle jokes. Those are not what I hope to find here.
3. How would you describe the current mood in the forums, does the mood need to be improved upon, and if so, how?
I don't think that trying to steer the mood in one direction is a good idea. Let people speak out their minds, regardless of what they have to say. If one has to fit to a certain profile, everyone will be starting to say the same kind of things. Diversity is good! I started noticing some behaviour that I called 'witch-hunts'. Basicly, one person makes some unfunded statement, and like chickens without heads, 80% of the community follows his/her lead. In one occasion, it hurted one of the newer, but already well-respected member of this site, in another, a newbie was on the verge of being banned from the site, both because they were being accused of something they didn't do.
4. How would you rate our current ability to keep flames and spam to a minimum in the forums?
Balanced.
5. How often do you read posts in the forums? What might make you want to read them more often?
Lately, I'm less often on here. Since you/the site went white-head, most of the spectacular activity has fled away. On top of that, one of my mostly beloved items, the news, has been discontinued. Basicly, nothing really interesting is happening anymore. In the old days, I had a good laugh every monday reading the Weekly Mailbag, but that too has been discontinued.
6. How often do you make a post to the forums? What might make you want to post more often?
I post whenever I feel I have something that would benefit the community. Because I'm a complete dipshit in the security-area, that isn't that much 
7. What is your opinion of the current AntiPoints System? How would you change it, if at all?
There's something wrong with the suicidal thread option. Some good threads hang themself because some ******* makes an unfunded post. The way that threads are rated is a little off too. The longer a thread lasts, the more it tends to stray off-topic. Thus, the first few posts should be counting heavier in the overall thread assesment than the last few.
8. How would you rate the speed and availability of the AntiOnline website?
I'm on 100mb/s, and it's as fast as turtle on downers, even compared with other much-visited sites.
9. If you had $10,000 to spend to further improve the AntiOnline website, how would you spend it?
News! Bring back the news! Pretty please?
10. What is your current opinion of the way that I'm personally running the site? What would you do differently if you were me (I can take criticism, so don't worry about voicing your true opinion)?
I think the way you write what you think is awesome. You don't seem to hide behind some corporate facage, you speak what's on your mind. What I do miss though, is your direct involvement in the site: although you created all this, you hardly ever participate. "Weekly Mailbag" is gone, and we hardly see any columns anymore, not even regular posts. Maybe part of those 10.000 should be spent hiring someone to take a little work out of your hands?
11. Free for all. Any other comments that you might have......
Thumbs up for being brave enough to ask the community what they think.
I wish to express my gratitude to the people of Italy. Thank you for inventing pizza.
