Quagmire is what I've experienced from the Zoby Interactive Survey. I used to be on their email list to participate in their surveys. The last three times I attempted to complete their surveys, I experienced an extremely slow loading of their pages, which ended up taking me over a half hour to complete the questions. I tried emptying my cache, rebooting my computer, and using three different browsers: Apple's Safari, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and Netscape. None of them worked. I have a G4 iMac with Road Runner connection and up until the last few times of attempting to take their survey, I never experienced a problem with their system.
After the first slow survey, I tried writing their website person: chad@zogby.com regarding the problems I was experiencing. I never received a response. After the second survey arrived in my email and the same problem existed, I wrote chad@zogby.com again and even filed to have my email address removed from their database. I figured it was a lost cause since nobody had bothered to advise me if there was indeed a problem with their survey system. Yesterday, I received yet another email to participate in their survey. Again, I tried to proceed through the survey, but again, it was slower than molasses. So, I figured I'd once again request to have my name removed from their mailing list since the first time hadn't worked. When I clicked on the link to have my email removed, I received a page that said that I had already previously requested to have my email removed.
Frustrating? You bet! I decided to write chad@zogby.com one more time about the slowness of the survey, and to please have my email removed from their database. I also made a copy and sent it to John Zogby through their "Ask John" link. I was rather snotty, and stated that since I hadn't heard from a human person in response to my previous emails or requests to have my email removed, that I was beginning to think that chad@zogby.com was nothing more than one of those pieces of paper hanging to a Florida ballot.
Well, I guess that got somebody off their fat ass to respond. Shortly afterwards, I received an email from chad@zogby.com that my email had been removed from their database. No response to the repeat question about the slowness of their website, just that my email address had been removed.
Have any other Freepers recently experienced the same or other problems with the Zogby surveys?
