bearmonster Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hello, So, I'm quite new to neopets, but I'm mainly interested in making that dollar... I mean neopoint. I'm only really good at Meerca Chase lol (aka snake). I also have an ulterior motive. I'm doing a research project on neopets for school. It's kinda the real reason I joined TDN forums lol. Well, if anyone is willing to help, just reply! If you don't wanna help, just reply anyway! Say whazzzzzzzzup (does anyone do that anymore?) b3armonst3r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo Loc! hahaha. Thanks so much for the help! No matter what, the info you give will definitely prove useful =).

bearmonster Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well I'd need info on the research project in order to give any recommendations. Welcome to the forums anyway! Have a few cookies to sustain yourself. *gives cookies* What's up Evil Guy. Loc told me that you might be able to help out, and it's cool that there are people willing to help on this forum! I was cautious about posting links because I didn't want to spam anybody or people to think this is a scam. So basically, people from the University of California Berkeley and the University of Southern California are trying to understand neopets on an academic level (I kinda just play neopets lol). Here's the link to the research project's main webpage: http://digitalyouth.ischool.berkeley.edu/node/40. Because it's kinda long, I'll just summarize a bit. (Of course, this is how I interpret the project.) There's a lot of people out there who think that there's nothing to be learned by sites like Gaia, Deviant Art, KoL, WoW, and of course Neopets. However, these sites are WAY popular. Neopets rakes in a bunch of hits daily. As such, this particular research project is aimed at figuring out the good things about these sites. Essentially, what kids learn: basic economic principles like supply and demand (neopoints and rare items), stock brokering (stocks), and whatever else lol. Right now, we're in the process of gathering information. We're doing the works: interviews, surveys, questionnaires (aka surveys), academic articles, etc. Anyway, that's the gist of the project. Loc has been especially helpful since I'm kind of a newbie at both neopets (well... I've been playing for 6ish months) and the forums. Thanks man! If anyone is interested in helping out, just reply to the post, PM me, or email me at [email protected]. I try to be online 24/7, but sometimes I have to take a break for eating, sleeping, and other things hahaha. Thanks Evil, and Loc, too! :yes: Bearmonster says: "YUM! Cookies! My Favorite!

bearmonster Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hey Everybody! Thanks so much for showing interest everyone! lol. As some of you already know, since I PMed some of you guys, this leg of the research project has been pretty difficult (gathering info and such). Joining TDN forums seems to have been a great idea since there seem to be (at least three lol) people interested in helping out =). So, if you guys have any other ideas as to how to make this research project flow better, just shoot them right at me! hahhaa. Thanks again everyone!
