The last question on it:

"Do you run a game-dedicated fan site?"

 

I need a definition for "run".

I don't run any sites atm, but I do come on here. :\

Usually, when they ask you if you are running or associated with game fan-site, they are not speaking of whether you post or general forum member on a fan-site, but an employee or physically host a website regarding a game site... So given this answer accordingly =)

The only thing with that though was that there wasn't a "no" option of any kind. It kind of made my mind explode (might be the allergies though). It's like, do I have to run a fan site of some kind for beta? This makes no sense to me though

They forgot to edit in the "no" option =P.

The last option should read something like "Some other site, or none at all."

No, they ask this question because you are under a NDA when playing in the beta.  This way they know if you have a site where you might end up posting information that shouldn't be disclosed until the NDA is lifted.

Ok I didn't even think about that, but still there should be some kind of answer saying that you don't run one. It was a mandatory question as well so I kind of had to pick something and the last option was "some other kind of fan site"

It's making my mind boggle still.

Look at my reply above. On the EU site it reads correctly.

Oh ok, then it must have just been a typo on the english US app maybe? I'm glad I picked that one then lol.

Yeah, I was stuck on that one for a bit as well.  I just picked the last one because I had no other choice really and I want into beta badly!

I actually thought it was some type of intentional psychological test! lol
