Hi all, I'm Joe Arnaud, I am currently doing a PhD looking at 'TRPGs as literature' at Christchurch Canterbury University. As part of that, I am presently looking at RPG campaign wikis as a form of transformational hypertext literature. With the kind permission of the admins, I've posted this short poll to help with my research. (possibly the first of many) As per good research ethics, here is my disclaimer.

Great effort!
I won't be surprised if for the first question you won't get any answers of "contribute as a player" as I think there are almost only GM's in the forums, so there's going to be a respondent bias. If you want to get data from players I will be happy to send on anonymous surveys, surveymonkey and google forms and the like, in my social circle.

Thanks! At this stage, I am considering the sample selection for this poll a feature, not a bug. (as long as I get a few more responses ) As my research progresses I will have to dig in to widen my survey pools, maybe even do some interviews with wiki creators. At this point, I would be very grateful for any help.
Interesting. Responded to the poll.
I had a lot more typed out here but it occurred to me that putting it in may alter the poll results, ergo I stripped it out before replying.
