Question to community of PC enthusiasts

scarecrow9109 · 3 Apr 2013 at 00:33

Dear all,

As a researcher in the field of marketing in Aberystwyth University of Wales I happen to be a computer enthusiast as well. I am doing a research project on online communities at the moment and would really appreciate your help!

Please follow this link and complete my survey, it shouldn’t take more than 5-7 minutes.

http://abergeography.eu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3mghixYNCz2s0WF

Questions focus on what motivates or prevents people to participate in online communities. The survey is part of large-scale study at Aberystwyth University under the supervision of Jan Breitsohl and the result will determine the progress of my further academic career.

Also it's fully academic so it’s not any kind of corporate data collection and it will not be put into commercial use.

Thank you very, very much for your help!

Ps. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time.
We assure you that all responses remain strictly ANONYMOUS and that no personally identifiable information will be associated with your responses.

I'm just waiting for the Survey to come researching the random joining of Forums to get Surveys completed.

The choice of forums I cooperate with is not random, in my case it is strictly related to personal interests for better understanding of the community.

Do You mean this survey in particular?

Thanks to everyone who already responded.

Doesn't this depend on the community?
I post on different forums but I don't express myself in the same way on each.

Also, survey too long, no cake at end

Done.

Started then realised that far too many people are randomly joining to get us to do surveys without becoming part of our community. Newcomers are welcome here but I think it's taking the p a bit.

Done, although I felt that quite a lot of the questions were asking the same thing, just worded a bit differently.

King Damager · 3 Apr 2013 at 12:59

Filling in comments about moderators was amusing

Scarecrow, what a load of BS. "PC enthusiast", my ass!

This this for size.

Veco · 3 Apr 2013 at 17:42

Oh my, busted.

Step one: make survey
Step 2: claim to be interested in the subject matter of every online community
Step 3:???
Step 4: profit.
