So all you want, is for others to do the work for you, people here have no problem with helping when you sign up, even if it is just for the purpose of the help required, but there are rules for a reason, and those that don't follow them are ripe for getting there arse ripped a new one...!!!

Take your time to understand why this is, and then come back if you have the balls (yes i know you are a girl) and ask correctly...

You will get the answers you want in more detail than you can imagine...

But nothing in life is free...!!! Unless you are a child that thinks the world owes you and then of course it is... :giggle:

All of the above and the fact that this forum is full of posers trying to be the next BA.. there are some rules for posting surveys I suggest you find them, re represent your case study adhering to the rules placed and I'm sure you'll get a few responses...

While I acknowledge that the OP should follow the forum's rules, the criticism about not doing her own research is wrong.
I give her credit for finding a forum of snowboarders - her target research group - setting up an account, and asking a simple, easy to answer question.
Now, I don't understand how the question relates to designing a snowboard, but that doesn't make answering the question difficult.

To the OP, if you come back with an introduction per the forum rules, I"ll be happy to answer your question.

(Shit, I'm gonna end up a moderator if I keep up this rational stuff.)

Are you all really that stupid.
I'm designing a new snowboard in which you'll be able to travel by air for free by hand luggage. I wanted to find the most common airline so that i can look at hand luggage and weights and thought doing my own research which means i can talk to actual snowboarders rather than the handfull of friends who snowboard and all use easy jet. I wish i never bothered anymore, all i asked was ONE small and simple question which led to a group of guys all giving me abuse on rules and saying i'm a fake. I'm in my final year of sixth form in england. Any normal, light hearted people would help a student out who is still in school. Honestly you have taken this all out of proportion.

Welcome to real life.

People aren't nice and accommodating and they aren't going to help you with your assignment just because it would be easy for them or you (especially not when the forum constantly gets spammed by people asking for help with their assignment. After the first 5000 assignment help requests people aren't keen to help random first time posters who contribute nothing else to the community).

All you had to do was say "okay sorry - here's a quick 30 sec video I recorded on my webcam asking for you guys to answer this quick question" and you'd have received tons of helpful people.

Quit whining and man up. No one cares if you're still in school or need their help. That isn't how life works, so put on your big girl pants and learn to market yourself better if you want people to help you.

Sweet, nobody cares you still completely fail at the internets. Especially the bits of it that are made of real people who demand some level of interaction/responsibility.

So sorry this didn't turn out to be some free source of research where we all fall over our dicks to help you.

I told you exactly how to get your answers, and after 4 pages of abuse you have clearly learned nothing. Even Poutanen will skirt forum rules and offer private services for only a couple photos :giggle:

Others have been helped here, you probably never will. Fuck off.

If you think we care that you call us stupid you are just falling all over your own ignorance go away before we really tear into you.

Settle down guys, no need to be so rude :giggle:
Please refer to this section of the rules:

If you think to bypass this requirement and just post your survey, think again. You have no idea what verbal abuse is really like until you've pissed off the people on this forum. Prepare to have yourself ripped a new one. (Normal rules of moderation do not apply when ripping said orifice)

I'd say this is forum policies in action.

@miahill: Your problem is thinking that "it's just one question" and "it'll just take a second". We get (during the heavy season) several of these a week, sometimes several a day. It gets tiring after a while. So we ask potential surveryors to put some skin in the game by putting in a little effort up front. "Rules are stupid" is a favorite quote from those who think rules and standards of behaviour don't apply to them.

But, look at the bright side. You're serving as an excellent bad example to point future surveyors to! :D

Sound like a cool idea, hope you get the info you need, I'm sure if you take the advice given you'll get some data to work with... Like SK mentioned loads of people have been helped before and a snowboarding forum where loads of peepz know there shit, its a goldmine of snowboarding information, most of these folks just treasure it...
