Requesting assistance with research survey

Greetings -

I am currently completing a doctoral dissertation exploring the motivation of addon developers for WoW, and like someone a few threads down on this board, I'm hoping to get folk to answer some questions on a survey. The survey is located at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TRVV3HB, and is completely anonymous. The IRB at my university (Pepperdine) frowns on paid surveys, so I'm unable to offer any compensation for participation - sorry about that.

I'm happy to discuss my research questions with anyone interested - my primary interest is in what motivates addon developers first to develop addons, and then to share it with others. I've had the opportunity to interview a handful of developers, and now I'm trying through this survey to further clarify ("confirm" or "deny" would be too definitive for social science research, which is notoriously squishy) the themes I've encountered in the interviews. The survey is 22 questions (mostly yes/no or multiple choice), so it's designed to be quick to complete. I very much appreciate any assistance folks who frequent these forums can offer - thanks for considering it.

Filled it as well.
Decently structured (judging by the relatively low proportion of questions I had to make use of the "other" option)

High praise from a Chromatic Dragonspawn! (most of my encounters with dragonspawn get off on the wrong foot, and go downhill from there...)

Thanks much.

Well, that just made my day! (It would have warmed the heart of my Research Methods instructor, too, if she hadn't had her heart surgically replaced with a lump of compressed evil and spite...)

I'm pretty sure it's too late, guys. He already posted a summary of his findings from the survey, and is probably too far along in his dissertation to go back and incorporate more new input.

Probably but it did make me think about a few things though
