Anime Consumer Research Survey - It's for my final paper, guys!

[EDIT]: Holy crap, I got sooooo many responses right now that they're more than enough for me to complete my paper! SOOOO many thanks to you guys and if possible, I'll see if I can post my paper somewhere when I'm done and if I'm crazy/suicidal enough, even continue my research since by golly, I got a LOT of interesting and different responses from 7 different places--Whenever the responses got similar, in spite of the anonymous submission factor, things got interesting!

==================================

Hello, my name is Kimlinh T. and I am a student at California State University Northridge. I am conducting a survey for a research project. Please answer these questions honestly and to the best of your ability.

You may send your answers to me via PM or submit your answers to the following email address with the subject "[SURVEY]":
kimlinh.tran.174(at)my.csun.edu

I prefer if people DON'T post their responses to keep other people's answers from being influenced.

Hnilmik 2010-12-04 19:09:32

Meanwhile, I will say so now:

Am mucho more excited about animating now! Someday!

Keric 2010-12-04 19:15:58

Do I really need to do this?

Hnilmik 2010-12-04 19:15:58

Only if you want to~

Keric 2010-12-04 19:19:53

That's basically a yes. Including the fact you Front-page posted this, which really isn't the best thing to do. For this reason, anyway.

Hnilmik 2010-12-04 19:19:53

Well, if people can promote stuff to vote for and people to check out, I figured it wouldn't hurt for me to post a survey.

o_o; I've seen weirder FP posts.

Keric 2010-12-04 19:35:05

Sent. Oh, and before I go into my loathing moment for the time I spent correcting that message over and over again, I love your voice compared to Rina Chan, who sucks. A lot. (Would kill self if ever related to and such) Your voice is such a nice change of pace compared to her damned high-pitch voice. Sorry to insult her and what not, but it's really an annoying voice. Yours just sounds so much more realistic.

Hey Miccool. You bother reading any of this post at all?

Scrap-Metal 2010-12-04 23:46:43

Dammit, forgot I had to leave it in a PM. Sorry to anyone who feels spammed by that damn essay.

Dunso 2010-12-05 05:35:13

Is anybody paying any attention what so ever to when she said "DON'T COMMENT WITH YOUR ANSWERS, REPLY THROUGH EMAILS AND PM'S"? Beacuse seriously, to be old enough for this site you should have learned somehow to fucking pay attention.

Hnilmik 2010-12-05 05:35:13

@@; NG ain't the only place that had trouble following directions. I had to throw out a LOT of responses...

Fortunately, right now, I have almost more than enough responses from the folks who sent me stuff via email/PM~ They have my thanks~

I didn't think I'd get 15 or 25... Right now, I THINK I got a total of 50 usable responses across 7 communities/forums, which is not a bad number.

10JD 2010-12-05 09:31:07

10JD 2010-12-05 09:32:57

SkullSmasher25 2010-12-05 10:25:11

kmau 2010-12-05 10:27:22

Sent per PM. :P

FlashfireEX 2010-12-05 12:15:15

Also, if you don't prefer to have me post it here, you can just copy the info and delete it. :)

Hnilmik 2010-12-05 12:49:37

>_x; ...Hate to say this, but the moment it's public for any time or reason, I have to throw it out. Can't "salvage" it by saving and deleting--At most, I can delete. Can't "pretend/hope that the answers were completely unaffected by other people's responses". Sorry. It's how it has to be done if I want this research to work.
