Hi,
Now i ve got no more than 1 month and a half for my project, and I am really low on responses from the SL community (my sample is only composed of 43 ppl).
I need to have at least 100 ppl, otherwise my sample will be biased (which is the case currently if i compare the results with the statistics of LL).
Please help me to approach the 100, there are no mandatory questions.
The link: http://www.kaysstore.com/survey
Thank you
Kay Nobel

PS: yes i have a biz in SL, but the questionnaire is not related to that ....

If you stick only to the forums your results will end up skewed anyway.

If I remember the age poll correctly, the results of that were very different from SL's overall age distribution (forums members being older on average). The forums also contain a far above average number of people who run a business in SL and there's only a minority here that doesn't spend money (either buying L$, or earning it), etc.

I agree, probably the best policy would be to speak to a few different places and ask if they mind you placing a notecard giver for a few days.

Try to spread it around the different types of sim and make sure you get permission first.

That should give you a better cross section of the SL populus.

I'd suggest you set it to auto-delete the giver after, say, a week.

It's not always necessary to get a general cross-sample of a population. It's often reasonable to query a sub-population, such as this one, while stipulating as to its limitations.

Dude, you are a true and good friend, and I love you like the brother that my mom claims she never had, but you are in fact acting like a flaming douche on white toast with a side order of dickknob salsa..maybe you should reconsider this course of action and we go find something else to do.

Dearly Darling,

I've never played that game so I was of no use. I'll ask around for other folks.

You have a lovely evening.

Ever Yours,

Mrs. Showdog Tiger

57 & possible 58 if back-browsing reposted the results, sorry.

For the occupation, I had to put down R&D even though I'm really in Information Technology. I think you'll find a lot of Information workers engaged in Second Life, so that might have been a category you'd have wanted to add.
