Maastricht University Survey Regarding Forums Use

[Maastricht University]

Dear forums members,

We are two doctoral researchers at Maastricht University (Netherlands) looking into the effectiveness of online support forums and what you think of them. Toward that end, we have prepared an academic online survey that takes just 10-15 minutes to complete. The survey is available at:

We would like to invite you to share your opinion with us. In order to appreciate your effort, you will be notified of the findings. Thank you very much for your highly appreciated input!

Dear forums members,

in order to make representative analyses, we still need many more responses. The success of the study really depends on your help. If you have not participated yet, we warmly invite you to do so!

Thanks a lot for your cooperation, and many greetings,

Dear forums members,

only with your help, we can understand why people participate in online communities. We think the results are going to be very interesting. However, we still need many more responses. Therefore, if you have not yet participated, it would be really great if you could help us by sharing your opinions about the forums. Furthermore, if you know some forums members who might be interested in providing us their forums experiences, could you maybe ask them to share those with us?

Again thanks a lot for your cooperation and many greetings,

Caroline and Vera

Dear forums members,

we are half way through our data collection. Thanks to all participants, we already have 200 responses. But to draw valid conclusions, we need a total of at least 400 responses. So, please help us by sharing your opinion about the forums with us. Of course, the results will be made available to you.

Thank you very much and many greetings,

Dear forums members,

we once again would like to draw your attention to this survey. You can freely state your opinions about the forums. In order to fulfill academic standards, we still need many more respondents. So, please help us by providing us with your experiences from the forums. Furthermore, if you post a short message here after you are done, we will reward you with 2 points.

Thank you very much and many greetings,

Vera and Caroline

Dear forums members,

Thank you for all the great responses so far. However, for a sound analysis, we still need about a hundred more answers. For all those who have not participated yet, please please please do so. With your cooperation, we could complete our data collection before Christmas! Thank you very much, and with kind regards,
