Hello everyone.
I was going to do a "Treasure Hunt" contest this month, but I've instead decided to do something a little different because of the recent discussions on N4G that arose for the recent PewDiePie item as well as it's just a good time to do it since the new site is in full use and people have had more time to think about it and what they do or don't like.
So, here's the other half of the contest for July:
.
THE SURVEY CONTEST
This is a pretty simple contest. You must PM me, Christopher, via http://n4g.com/user/home/ch... , the responses to each of the True/False questions below. This contest is open to all users who are not employees of HAVAMedia and have an account that was open before January 1, 2016. You must provide a valid True or False answer to each question. Closing date on this contest is 11:59 pm EDT, July 31, 2016.
From the pool of acceptable responses, 5 random winners will be selected. Each winner will get a $100 Amazon Gift Card.

Today, Square Enix revealed the next expansion coming for its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, titled "Evercold."
Solo indie developer BeamBrain has announced the release of Guardian Cry, a new free-to-play action adventure game inspired by the SNES classics.
Claims suggest new PS4 and PS5 digital purchases may require a 30-day online check, though Sony has not confirmed any changes.
I did see this this come up as a rumor, but until stated otherwise I guess take it with a grain of salt.
If true I think it is clearly a bug. The whole point of having a primary account is that it automatically resyncs lice ses when connected to the Internet on that device. Having to make Sally log in every 30 days makes no sense.
You seriously want more PM's!?
Sent, although I made my account in March/April I've been using N4G and reading the comments on here for years.
This is a fantastic idea. Best of luck to everyone!
I think pm is the best idea.. and I do think n4g can change for the better.. but 1 question is missing, from where do I see my notifications?
That's a fun contest and some very pertinent questions about behaviors seen around N4G.
