census


cen·sus (plural cen·sus·es)


noun
Definition:

1. count of population: an official count of a population carried out at set intervals

2. systematic count: a systematic count or survey

So a lighthearted survey of sorts, a load of questions and that to get an idea of what sort of folk reside here.

An example:

Regular questions like...
Age:
Sex:
Religion:
Country of origin:
Country you live in:

And then other stuff?:
What music you're into?:
Do you prefer cheese to eggs?:
What gaming systems do you own?:
Which of the above do you love?:
Why are you with GBAtemp?:
Any other ROM release news forums you've joined:

That sort of thing, some serious questions and some not so. And then once, lets say after two months of collecting these answers we or I publish the results...well not specific answers but in percentage form like...

76%
54% are aged 80-90 years of age.
2% like goats for company.
41% Are Mormons.
33% Hate first person shooters.
93% are Nintendo fanboys.
4% Regard Microsoft as an necessary evil

Also have some charts for other questions like a best loved consoles/computers, tv shows, games, bands etc.

That sort of thing, maybe not those questions of course we can have suggestions.

Yes I'm bored, but intrigued to what and who join this forum.

Edit: I'd like to add that if this goes ahead that if anyone would want to take part that once questions have been finalised, to PM me and I'll send them a form, to which they'll send back to me.

Another thing, maybe only allow people who have been here for 6 months, maybe depends on what others think.

People can answer whatever they feel comfortable with, if they choose to be silly then that's fine. In a way that still helps as it tells us of the personalities of some members.

I'll see where this goes, when I come back in a few days I'll decide whether to do this or not.

Especially not only 6 month old ones...
Send a series of emails to inacive accounts, maybe a couple of years since they've been used, a bit like notices before the user gets evicted from Hotel GBAtemp.

Regular questions like...
Age: No problem here with me. I'm 48 eh
Sex: don't expect all the girls to be willing to admit it. Don't expect all the listed girls to really BE girls either.
Religion: Not an overly good idea.
Country of origin: No problem there with me.
Country you live in: Same lack of problem. But don't look forward to race answers.

And then other stuff?:
What music you're into?: I think mentioning your age is likely more accurate. Knowing the decade you were born says all ya need to know. Most of you weren't even thought up when my favs were made.
Do you prefer cheese to eggs?: Odd questions are fun though

What gaming systems do you own?: Logical choice of question I have a PS3 PC and a DSi XL currently.
Which of the above do you love?: Likely a bad idea just causes fan flames.
Why are you with GBAtemp?: In my case I am here because roms sites can be relied on to 'disappear' for more reasons than I can count. Why join a soon to be disappeared site eh.
Any other ROM release news forums you've joined: See above response.
