Good readers of this website, here is your chance to help a brother out. As I mentioned a few weeks back, I've been running this site for about six years now. It's been a kickass, fun time, and I've made some great friends and allies (and enemies) along the way. When I first started this site, I never expected to gain any sort of audience or following, but here you are. So what I want to know is, who the heck are you? Who's out there? Where do you live? What's your deal? Thus, I am launching the very first angry asian reader survey. Basically, it's about thirty or so questions that will tell me a little bit about yourself, where you're coming from, what you think of this site, and how the site could be better.

To be completely frank, the demographic information would also help me out a great deal. If you haven't noticed, I've recently introduced paid advertising on the site. Nothing too flashy or intrusive. Just a few banner ads that help pay the bills. Since day one, I've been paying for the cost of running the site out of my own pocket. It's a labor of love, so I really don't mind. But as years have gone by, and I've toiled and made a living one way or another, it has become increasingly clear to me that I certainly wouldn't mind making a living from what I really love—writing and maintaining this website. And so... advertising. It's a small but necessary step that a lot of people are surprised I didn't take a long time ago. But one thing I need is a clearer sense of who you are. Not only because I'm really curious, but also because it's the first thing advertisers want to know. I promise, none of your personal information will be shared with third parties.

As an incentive, I'm giving away some free stuff. If you fill out a survey, for your help you can be included in the drawing for the Big Fat Angry Asian Giveaway. Prizes include an iPod Shuffle, free subscriptions to Tiger Cinema, DVDs from Tartan and Palm Pictures, and whole bunch of other cool random stuff--goodies for your collection. Winners will be picked at random from the pool of survey responses received. Answer the questions, help a brother out... and maybe you'll win a prize. Again, your personal information will be kept strictly confidential. One survey per person, please.

Please take a moment to fill out the angry asian reader survey here. And thank you for your cooperation.
