I recognise this from the university, most impressive & intriguing final project of the lot - it was praised heavily by the lecturer too.

Bravo on the work, I'll put it to use for sure this summer.

Where does it source its data from?

Very nice.

Have you considered displaying a growing log of each question answered & selected answer as the user progresses through the options?

Microsoft Excel 2003 (or at least the copy I was stuck with) had a weird bug where if the final column of a CSV spreadsheet with headers was empty (column header there but no data) then the outputted CSV file would only contain the correct amount of commas for affected rows up until the 16th line before it just started discounting the commas to indicate an empty field at the end of the table.

This would cause all sorts of errors with the program I had to upload the files to.

My only work around was a series of Regex based find and replaces in Notepad++, I could have perhaps scripted something automatic but I was on a very locked down machine at the time.

It was one of many weird MS Office bugs I had on a A3 sheet pinned to my cubicle wall.

Can you go anyway to expand on how I'd go about setting up my own server for this?

The FAQ is not clear to me.

(Early 20s, UK Citizen & Resident) Yes, some physical friends have been met though FB but mostly it's been hugely instrumental in developing existing relationships (99% by messaging). No job offers but I have personally provided job opportunities through it. The last 5 social events I've been to (party, festivals) have been arranged through group messaging on FB's Messenger.

This is very nice! Can you make it so that the Top Submissions links go to the HN discussions?

On Chrome Windows 7 version I've got the window un-maximised and the pretend cursor escapes well onto the desktop and outside the bounds of the visible Chrome window itself.
