A school survey to do with Runevillage and Runescape specifically? seems suspicious.

Why's that? I'd guess it's social science project, come up with a survey about a couple things, look for correlations.

That said, I am curious what the assignment is. Would you care to tell us, Dale?

Agreed. It seems more of an attempt to recover of our accounts tbh...

Need to get 50,000 people to take this Survey. Making a separate Survey for the Rs/Rv answers. This Survey is for a School project where I have to make Graphs and explain the different Survey results for each question. I know this will take a lot of time to do.

For the Rs/Rv questions:
I am a NEW User here so I don't know a lot about you. I am making a separate survey questions for Rs/Rv since they won't be included in my School Survey questions. This is not anything to do with recovering accounts. Jagex can Track me :roll:

LOL ROFL

There are 43,000 people who use Runevillage

Ok..I'll take my money now yeah? There are probably 100 people who USE Runevillage now. There may well be 43000 accounts..Now see how many of those have made a post in the past..I don't know..3 years?

relax

i will let you know if i get hacked or not. seeing as i answered

killa kiaba · **Posted:** January 13th, 2012, 9:18 pm

i am tempted to answer with false info just for account safety,

but if you needed 50,000 it would of been better to make a site where people could enter there info directly that would convert it into a graph, rather than look at 50,000 individual posts then try to tally up.

simple math here
time taken to read post and retrieve data = 20 seconds
50,000 people x 20 seconds = 1,000,000 seconds
1,000,000 / 60 per min = 16,666.67 minutes
16,666.67 minutes / 60 per hour = 277.7 hours
277.7 hours / 6 hours per day = 43 days

That's assuming each person does it consecutively, correct?

I don't really see how the survey questions could compromise account security. They're pretty vague and I'm reasonably sure that none of these are really used as account recovery questions. Nor could they really be used to derive answers from.

If you're stupid enough to have these as account recovery questions, .... well that's just that.... isn't it.
Far as account security goes, put smart questions with bubkis answers.
"What is your favorite flavor of cat: Idaho"

The only way you could really tabulate 50000 results is if you did it with a standardized automatic method. Sorry to say but that's going to be nearly impossible by asking the questions manually with text. The only real method to get this many results would be via a programmed survey on a website with a lot of traffic.. like Gizmodo kind of levels of traffic. Jagex themselves might have trouble doing a runescape survey on their own website with 10 questions and get 50k results in a week without offering a reward.

Having said that.
My recommendation to you is if this is meant for something like a "Statistics" class.

Shoot for 100 results. It's a good round number, and a fair survey. If you get more than that, GREAT, if not, it's still a "good" survey. 1000 is typically the "official" level of surveys, but I don't think for something like a highschool or even college statistics project, you need to really go that hardcore. 100-200 would soundly be a good number unless your teacher explicitly said a number.

To do something like 500+, you'd have to do something like multiple choice standardized.

I completely agree. You people are paranoid as Fuzzy Bunny

Dale, you are better off using Google Docs for the survey inputs, because no forums on earth is gonna have the capacity for you to have even 10 000 private messages without paying them for the space, and besides with Google Docs, you could use a spreadsheet which automatically tabulate all survey results which you could download to your local computer or print it out for further viewing

Without rewards to people??, then that will gonna be a loads of Spamming activity on many forums and websites
