Hi guys!
for my dissertation I am researching SL and its strengths as a virtual community. I want to find out whether modern online communities can have the potential to be as benefical for our well-being as physical/local communities, which are rapidly in decline in modern society.
I am desperate for many, many responds to my online questionnaire, and each answer counts!
if my findings are significant, the report might even be published in an academic journal.
I need residents that have been with SL for a minimum of a month and that visit SL regularly. And who knows, maybe this study has the potential to change the way we think about virtual communities today.
Here the link to the questionnaire:

I know that some of you are worried about how far this questionnaire might affect you personnally, but be ensured that every reply is treated anonymously and with the strictest confidentiality. I will have absolutely no idea who answered what to which question.
However, if you are willing to take part in one of the focus groups taking place in the following weeks, leave your name at the end of the survey or, if you prefer, give me a shout via IM in SL. And even then, all names or any identifying information will always be removed. If I wouldn't do so, my graduation would be at stake!
So, enough of me,
I am hoping for lots of interesting responds!
