As do I, this must have been a fast survery. Though I am only guessing this has been online for maybe three to four hours tops.

Must have been limited time offer survery's.

If you click on the "this article" part, you go to Nina's not found page. This thing was only posted twenty minutes ago, I guess they closed it out to the first however so many people. Yeah, that was fast Rolling Eyes

Wow, all I got was "Survey Closed" from a completely diffrent site. I figured this was posted hours ago because of the fact the survery is now closed.

Maybe there is a gltich in the survey?

Edit: Opps, I was looking at the actual article, not the link to the article.

It's probably an error or else they wouldn't give out incentives if only x number of people could take it... besides, the smaller the sample size of respondents, then the more "pointless" information is gained because it is far from representative of the overall group (even though surveys can never be fully representative, they get the job done).

Just wait til morning to see what's up.

Maybe, but a number of their in-house surveys have also been closing with lightning speed lately.

Yes, I usually participate in the surveys when they're made available, but then the next time I come onto ANN, they're closed and then we're looking at the results. Although I don't bother to check as often as I should, but still you're right. They don't stay open for that long, but these things are becoming more frequent than they have been since before Anime Expo 2008. A lot of it has to do with how the administrators are running the site I believe.

I'd venture that they at least leave them open overnight or so. Normally I can still do these when I get home from work, but this has only been up for 2 1/2 hours or so, and it's closed already? I'd say it's an error on the part of the 3rd-party survey site, not that it's actually closed already... unless they actually had several hundred, or several thousand, people respond in the first few minutes it was up.

I'd say you're probably right. I can't imagine that responses were that fast, so my bet is on error.

Yeah, I'm getting an error of some sort too. "Survey is Closed" is what I'm seeing. Maybe this isn't technically open until the start of the next buisness day hours? Anyway, that's my guess.

Humbug. Demographic surveys are always worth participating in, and I end up missing one.
Unless of course it's not yet open, in which case I'll be ready with my mouse.

I tried to take the survey several minutes after it was posted last night and it was already closed, so I think there has to be some kind of error.
