POLL NOW CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR VOTINGAs some of you may know, I am currently doing my PhD thesis at Monash University in the field of Communications. I am looking at why some online communities last and why some don't. I plan to look at the fandom community in order to examine the ways in which it has lasted. Within this, I will be looking at: ( Read more... )

Would you like me to plug it? You'll get a definite tilt twords RPS people that way

ETA: or ask metafandom to link to it? huuuge traffic

qthelights April 23 2009, 03:19:49 UTC

I will have your babies (more of them?) if you plug it for me honey.

I looked desperately into metafandom, but in theif FAQ they say they won't plug research polls :(

Actually, if you could plug it it would be even more appreciated than yesterday - I got some major er, pimpage, in the Torchwood/Who and Harry Potter fandoms - so the results are rather skewed to them, we need some more Lotr ppl to show how bit LotR fandom was *L*

I took the poll, and will now pimp to TWU. :D

qthelights April 23 2009, 05:53:34 UTC

That's strange.. your answers aren't coming up as having taken the poll. What on earth LJ?! You pressed the submit button yeah? (i'm sure you did.. but i can't think why it isn't registering.. )

Thank you so much for the pimp :)

That's weird, I came here from the TWU (thanks to hanuueshe!) and when I hit submit it said "You are not permitted to access this poll"

*kicks LJ* Stop being evil!

qthelights April 23 2009, 07:43:53 UTC

LJ is being evil. I've posted it again, just in case it was due to there being some maximum number of people who could respond.

If you could try again i'd be very grateful!

knitchick1979 April 23 2009, 07:51:09 UTC

I'm trying but it's giving me the same message. Weirdness!

qthelights April 23 2009, 07:53:51 UTC

okay, now it's giving ME the message that i'm not allowed to view the poll! I'm so sorry about this.. I think LiveJournal is just having a hissy fit..

great timing LJ!
