Commuity Survey asathost commuity demographics

Hey All,

I am trying to get a profile of the users in this community. This is not for marketing or advertising material, it's for my own research regarding online communities. If your interested, see my cyberanthropology site. I find this community fascinating because it is new and I have watched it develop over the past month. My thoughts about a good survey for on-line communities is still developing and this represents a crude first attempt. I would be intersted in anyones opinions of data that would be helpful in capturing the essence of an online community. I would also be interested in working with someone who could code such a survey so that results would auto tally (like the poll system on many websites) but would include a multitude of questions. Again, if you would like to partner on this message me.

 

As for the survery below. You can reply to the post with your answers or message them to me. Either way, in 2 weeks I'll publish a breakdown of the results and probably further refine/redevelop the survey
