Hello everyone,

Apologies for the off-topic posting. I don't know what forum to post this message but I saw a similar post on this one, hence here goes. If you think it belongs elsewhere, please let me know.

I am a graduate student in Mass Communication. My Masters thesis is based on online gaming and teamwork. As part of the thesis, I have an online survey. It contains a set of questions linked with participating in online gaming, and another set that asks about working in teams/groups in the offline environment.

I wanted to post the link here and invite the forum members to take the survey. All responses are anonymous, and the survey itself shouldn't take more than 15-20 minutes to complete.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OnlineGamingTeamwork is the link.

Please let me know in case of any questions or comments.

Thanks very much! Your responses will help me graduate this year... happy

LJ

Here is hoping a scholarship wasn't wasted on this crap. Sad when people can't research real stuff and they get lazy and think WoW will solve ALL their problems.

Is it really any wonder that people with master's degrees are flipping burgers at McDonalds these days?

I hope that you have ample time to change the subject you have chosen.

Once you realize that people aren't going to do all the work for you, maybe you can write about your favorite musican or something?

The thesis probably has nothing to do with the survey but rather is a study on how people on internet forums are d-bags. Regardless, someone else didn't get into grad school so that this asshat could do this sort of rigorous academic work? Gimme a break.

I agree.. his thesis is probably about how internet anonymity turns real life milk suckers into e-hulks! He is getting plenty of material. Haha

Each time I see one of those, I wonder who they will sell the results to...
Let's see... poor writing and spelling, one post wonder, copy/pasted on several MMO forums...
So does it hint to a future masters thesis, or a random dude working for a survey company to make a few dollars?

That's why I never participate is such crap.
