 +
 +== Any questions, comments or concerns you'd like to tell us about? ==
 +
 +  * On some questions an answer option 'cannot rate' would be an improvement.
 +  * I interact with the "forum" almost entirely through email so some of these questions don't apply at all.
 +  * The biggest factor for the forum in my point of view, is the extended discussions and posts that many times go into even other directions than elixir
 +  * Good luck with your survey :)
 +  * Cheers!
 +  * I mainly use the forum to solve problems I encounter.
 +  * Thank you!
 +  * The elixir forum is the most friendly developer community I've come across.
 +  * Why are you doing this research?
 +  * Nope.
 +  * Great job compiling this form. Looking forward to the results!
