Recommended Posts

Hey everybody, a few days ago somebody kindly let me know that I have a 3000 word essay due on Monday. I've managed to get an extension until Tuesday morning, but I'm still cutting it fine.

I'd really appreciate it if you could answer a few of the following questions. I can't see it taking you longer than 3 minutes. Don't worry if you can't answer every question. Whack your answers underneath the questions - thank you!

How old are you?

What made you join Trials-Forum?

Are you, or have you been a member of another Internet forum? Which one? What made you join?

How often do you use Internet forums?

Do you use forums specifically for getting answers to questions and discussing relevant topics, or do you use them to chat to friends as well (chit chat)?

Have you found yourself sat in front of an Internet forum for more than an hour, sifting through posts just to keep yourself entertained?

Have you ever had an Internet forum as a homepage?

Have you ever had anal sex?

As a member of an Internet forum, do you feel like you belong to some sort of community?

Define the word community in your own words

Do you feel you are a part of a community? (not trials forum)

Once again, thanks for your help.

Stephen.

Many a time

No but I once felt like I gave birth out of that hole ... the stretching/tearing probably made possible ( or not ) future anal sex a lot easier

In a way ... being voted on as senior member. Albeit by one person! And I still dont know why

I was starting trials and looking for somewhere to meet other people who rode, learn more about the sport and generally chat about bike stuff.

Are you, or have you been a member of another Internet forum? Which one? What made you join?

Lots at varying times, currently active on forums.gentoo.org, OpenZaurus forums, altbristol.org.uk. The former two are for technical advice and knowledge and the latter for furthering real life social things.

How often do you use Internet forums?

every day.

Do you use forums specifically for getting answers to questions and discussing relevant topics, or do you use them to chat to friends as well (chit chat)?

Depends on the forum. Trials forum sits neatly in the middle, whereas technical forums are mostly for questions/relevant topics and social forums are for meeting people (which really is relevant topics, so I suppose somewhat sits in both camps).

Have you found yourself sat in front of an Internet forum for more than an hour, sifting through posts just to keep yourself entertained?

Yes, quite often.

Have you ever had an Internet forum as a homepage?

Yes, TF is one of my two homepages.

Have you ever had anal sex?

Not in the last week.

As a member of an Internet forum, do you feel like you belong to some sort of community?

Depending on the forum, yes.

Define the word community in your own words

Essentially a socially connected group of people that link together in some way. This link is normally either living geographically close to one another or (especially in the 'communication age') holding a similar interest/hobby.

Do you feel you are a part of a community? (not trials forum)

yes.

Thanks to everybody who did the survey, anal sex is more popular than I thought!

The point of my survery was to prove how sad we all are, we spend far too much time on Trials-Forum, and it's probably because the sense of community is missing from our real lives.

Oh well, thanks for your help, I've got plenty of answers now, so no need for anybody else to do the survey (unless you want to).

Stephen.
