Hi all.A couple years ago, I conducted a survey that was basically intended to get an idea of what everyone was using. I have, since then, expanded on the survey, and yet I'm still keeping the original intent, which is to provide efective information to all the users and merchants of Poser and D|S possible.
The purpose of this survey is to give the users, the sites, the companies, and the merchants that are all tied together in this community a baseline from which to draw as they move forward. It isn't about features in the various programs, but instead focuses on what we, as individuals, do with our stuff, and what sorts of people we are as a group.
This survey will be run from today (January 1st, 2006) through January 31st, 2006. Once the period has closed, I will remove the survey and prepare the results.
The survey helps Customers by Telling merchants:
What we want
Who we want it for
What we'll do with it
Where we'll do it at
The survey helps merchants by giving them the above, plus freeing them from trying to get information that they cannot get any other way other than guessing or laboriously going through the galleries, forum posts, and asking private questions that will usually not get answered.
The Survey is:
Anonymous
Honor based
Opt in only
Not limited to anyone -- everyone is free to fill it out and anyone can request the results.
The information gathered won't be able to identify you, specifically, in any way shape or form -- not to me, not to you, and not to anyone else. The Survey asks some questions that may seem somewhat personal:
age range
income range
language
gender
The Survey results will be freely available in raw data form (csv - comma delimited) to any and all interested parties, including sites and companies such as DAZ, Renderosity, E-Frontier, and others. Results will be made available 30 days after the close of the survey period or earlier, depending on available time for collating the information.
It is my personal hope that everyone will fill out a survey, of course. Please fill one out -- it will help the community to get something that there's no really efficient method for obtaining since the informationin it is the sort that's typically guarded fiercely.

There has been a kind soul who has done a spanish language translation that will be available shortly. I will add that to this thread when it becomes available.
I will also take suggestions for additional information to collect on the next survey, which is tentatively scheduled for June 1st, 2006.
Thank you,
