10:23AM COMBATSIM.COM Survey
  • Since our first survey regarding the Software Angels concept received fewer responses than we'd hoped (probably due to the email requirement) here's a new, ANONYMOUS survey that gets a bit deeper into the specifics of the concept. The results of this survey are also viewable by all. After this has run for a couple days, we'll re-open the Software Angels forum again. Click HERE to enter your opinions.
