Love it - How about this as an alternative: The user is stuck in a very (corporate/government/sluggish) environment. I will review your site/app from a major bank's / federal government's offices and report back! Or maybe this: The user is a 65 year old dad whose son doesn't come around often enough to ensure his father hasn't installed countless malware that he blames "internet" on. I will go to my dad's house and u…

The user is a woman: standard UX testing, only you're forced to confront your own preconceptions for having assumed it would be otherwise.

well, i threw my $50 in. looking forwards to the results! (mathbreakers.com)

I clicked on the most obvious button, "Teachers click here", and then the most obvious button on that page, "Start Lobby Now", and got a "Page not found".

To be fair, I'm completely sober and you haven't paid me $50, so maybe that's why it didn't work.

While I agree that alcoholism is sad, this is a non sequitur. Unless you have knowledge about the founder of this service that isn't posted on the site, neither of us know that he is or is not an alcoholic.
