Thank you, I really appreciate a friendly response.

Thanks for your input as well. There is a difference between a survey and a interview, I was asking for a interview. Completing an interview is a necessary component to the task I have to complete. We are attempting to understand why people play Second LIfe and get THE USERS opinion. Not mine. There is only way to do that. ask. I did not provide that detail in my first post, that is my bad, however I feel that you jumped to conclusions rather quickly. I am not lazy. I am trying to cover a wider area. I could interview a bunch of classmates who know nothing about Second Life. But I felt coming here would be more productive. It turns out I was wrong

Thanks for your input. First. My task isn't to work out how second life works. It is to try and understand the users in Second Life (why they play and what makes it appealing to them), hence my asking here. Sorry I wasn't completely clear in my initial post asking about 'knowledge and experience'. That was my bad. The questions I was going to ask were just incredibly general questions such as Q. How long do you play? Q. Do you play video games?, etc. I feel very sorry for you if you have trouble deciphering those kinds of unanswerable questions. What you are probably now thinking. Why waste my time on those questions or even this thread? My answer to that is simple. Don't reply. That's rather easy for you to decipher. Anyway thank you again for your input, I now have a better understanding the type of people who use Second Life..

I am sorry, you are correct. This is part of a research assignment for a unit I am completing at university. The purpose of this is to determine whether or not Second Life effects the real life of the user. I had my message written up in a MS document (So I could copy and paste a single message to advertise in a number of places) and I must have missed out that part when I C&P. My bad. Furthermore go back and check my post. I was asking for an interview not a survey, there is a difference. And yes I have recieved permission to interview from my institution.

Hello Second Life member, I appologise if I have put this in the wrong section, I'm not particularly experienced at using forums also I have not experienced a lot of Second Life and have only learned the basics. What I have come here to ask is if anyone would be willing to complete an interview about your experiences and knowledge of the topic. This can be done via email, msn, skype, in-game or whatever is most comfortable such as text based communication. This is for a university project I am doing about Second Life where our goal is to find out how it effects ones real life. The type of questions (There is about 20-30 questions) that are going to be asked aren't going to be judgemental or harsh, however if a participant doesn't want to answer a question or wants to quit at any time, that is completely fine. e.g. Q: How do you find the social interaction within Second Life? Any participation would be immensly appreciated, User webbk
