Dear Jay, Why did you come to the forums? --- For marketing research only --- To research upcoming trends for some reason other than 'academic' (word has more than one meaning) --- To gather data for a research paper -X-- To gather data for a class you are teaching or will teach --- To kill time because PS3 broke down What are your credentials? --X-- I teach at a major university --- I teach at a city college --- I teach online --- I teach at a university offering degrees on the back of matchbooks --- Other (please specify) How can a random and vague question on a user forum be considered scientific? --- It can --- It can't --- Science? Answer mine and I will answer yours. bring more discussions to students ... |

I believe Jay would have got more, and more serious, replies had s/he not claimed to be an academic doing research.

I came to SL because on the Internet, no one knows you're a dog, unless you wear a doggie avatar.

---- PIE [X] ---- The LULZ [X] ---- Make sexys now? [ ] (^_^)y AWESOME. That will now be my number 1 reason for coming to SL -- and since it is only sometimes fun, I'm not sure how to answer the OP's questions, so I'll use Immy's survey: ---- PIE [x] ---- The LULZ [x] ---- Make sexys now?

-- Why do you come to Second Life? --
---- For fun only? [ ] ---- For making money only? [ ] ---- For other purpose (please specifiy). [ ] Please only provide one answer by crossing [ x ]. Sorry, impossible to answer with those restrictions. Because I would have to check all three. My interests are not one-dimensional. Fun? : If I didn't have fun in SL, I wouldn't be here. My first and best reason for coming to SL and staying here is that I have friends here who I can't socialize with anywhere else. If my friends left, so would I. Making Money? : But if I couldn't earn a profit here with my businesses, I also wouldn't be here. I can't afford to dump $75 USD a month or more into a silly on-line virtual world, no matter how much I enjoy that social time with my friends. The money I earn in SL pays all my SL expenses, and provides my friends and I with a beautiful and fun place in SL to interact. Other? : You left out having a venue for artistic expresson, learning, creating, and many, many other pursuits. All valid parts of why I am here. If you think all of life is only about "Having Fun" or "Making Money" and that those two aims are mutually exclusive, I really feel sorry for you. Your future career will therefore be miserable, because you can't get paid for doing something you love to do. So sad. _____________________
Sorry, LL won't let me tell you where I sell my textures and where I offer my services as a sim builder. Ask me in-world.

Also the red pill.
And a question, were you required to reveal yourself as a researcher and that you would be collecting information? _____________________

I've had a terrifying thought. Do you think that maybe all these joke answers are just as helpful to the researcher as actually answering the survey directly?

Sigh. At least THIS survey is only one question and three choices.
Jay: Go do your research in world. The forums are not a representative sample. Also, your survey is far too shallow...I don't see how you can gather any meaningful data from this. Besides, we've used up our Survey Quota for the month here. _____________________
