Interesting news! When I was in uni, I made some money on the side writing custom JS plug-ins for their survey engine. Through a lot of trial-and-error I managed to reverse engineer some useful knowledge about the inner workings of it (this lasted up till a major revamp of the survey engine around 5 years ago). The community was quite vibrant, and their product was being used from questionnaires in academic studies to marketing research to high-profile class-action cases. I've always imagined this huge userbase as well as the centralized organization of all this research data is quite valuable, so this acquisition price doesn't strike me as out of place.
