I need help with homework.. regarding knowledge sharing in forums!

hi guys!
i'm doing a paper right now. it is about finding what motivates people to share knowledge in forums. thought that xda-developers would be the best place for it. just a 10 question survey.. should take like 30 seconds. here is the link:
http://www.makesurvey.net/cgi-bin/survey.dll/12F5BAE2E3484E91A7D4603F9B3C495E
thanks in advance guys!
xda-developers is one of the most helpful communities i know.

erm... i think i need to move this thread. seems like i posted on the wrong section.

thanks orb3000! i'm doing it as part of my research. the whole point is to figure out what motivates students or people in general share their knowledge.
you've really got to ask yourself why you like sharing the knowledge you have with people you don't really know.

I could have told you my reason without having to fill out the survey.
I feel it's my responsbility to help someone out if I can help.
Helping on online forums doesn't take much effort but can be an immense help to someone else. Seeing that my help was appreciated is reward enough.

Done , Glad to help.
This is all you need to know about forums.

I have a lot of questions, and if we were to do it over this, and the person stayed with me for it, it might take four hours instead of a few minutes.

Watch the vids, ask in q&a, your question has probably been answered, and it wouldn't the this great series of tubes.....
Nvm
Please just start a new thread in q&a, title this one delete me. Your questions will get answers.

I'd rather just have some 1 on 1 help? I've had many people offer me assistance without making a huge deal out of my preference for direct interaction. I don't see why suddenly it is an issue between you two.

I have no issue at all with you wanting help, or even 1 on 1. Don't care, I help alot of people. My only issue was with you posting this in general. That's why I said please. Not a big deal, I just don't like seeing the general sub section get cluttered up with simple q&a threads.

worst mistake to get captivate :( no help here

i ordered captivate knowing there will be nice people to support in this forum but there is none. i posted thread 2 times and both times its deleted without even informing me. i offer people free ps3 games and bluetooth headset still nobody wants to help here with lag fix and downloading rom? worst experience ever.

Sorry..... What?? No help = not asking the right question. You have over 400 posts and have gotten no help?!? weird......
Why would you offer free stuff for help? That just makes you seem like a spammer.

Quit being an idiot, and help yourself.
Captivate, XDA Premium, Cyanogenmod

Wow. This place is self service. Have you tried doing any searches or are you just waiting for someone to help you? Threads rarely get deleted. I'm guessing from your original post that you aren't very good at communicating.

im new here on captivate. do u guys really think i would understand all that rom stuff and kies and stuff i dont even know what they are. i dont even know how to root

If you need help with Captivate related stuff, I can help you out. Shoot me a PM.
At the others, if you don't have anything constructive to say, then better to keep quiet and report the thread.

Great words Miami_Son...Lol, it sounds like he's waiting for a personal invite to information that is abundantly available in this forum. 2 months ago I had no idea how to do anything with my Cappy beside make a phone call and now I'm changing ROM's and themes more often than I change my drawers.
Bit of advice there the_ahmadzais, get a clue and quit waiting for someone to ask you if you need help. Read, read, read, read, all the information you need is all here with the click of you mouse. :/

Who wants to bet this will get closed soon

Captivate is my first android phone. Reading is all I needed to do to get into flashing and custom roms. Rooting can't be any easier with programs like Super One click and the like.

I'm closing it because of all this nonsense talk. I'll repeat what I said above, if you want to be stupid and ridicule the OP rather then lending a hand, then you're better off not posting.
@ the_ahmadzais, probably better off posting in the Q&A.

[Completed] Suggest a dev for photo stitching app

Hi, I'm completely new to the forum and a complete novice coder (even novice is an overstatement).
I'd like to develop an app that involves photo stitching, panoramic functions and some other cool features that can be discussed after securing an NDA.
I'm currently working on a wire frame and graphic design for buttons, icons, GUI, etc, but need someone who is good at programming these types of apps, initially for Android, later porting to iOS.
Any and all recommendations for specific individuals, dev teams or companies would be greatly appreciated. I'm an individual entrepreneur with a little capital, but far from "deep pockets", so unfortunately, cost is a big factor. Looking for best bang/buck. Thanks fellas!

Nobody care to help out a noob? It'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

Cool, thanks man. I guess I'm used to forums that are far more crowded and if you don't get an answer in a day, your post gets completely buried and likely will never get a reply. Thanks for the heads up and sorry the betting impatient.

Hey Raj, thanks, but I'm not looking to code an app myself, I'm looking for a dev that I can pay to create one. I tried to learn C++.....i didn't get much past "Hello world!" til I realized I just plain suck at coding! Lol

Sorry about that but i can't help you in this job.
You can try to ask in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257421
Good luuck

Thanks, but I'm getting the feeling that this forum is more for devs to discuss coding itself, and not so much find jobs coding. I think I'll try my luck on Craigslist. Thanks for the help though.

[Completed] Is there any support for the phone ALCATEL POP STAR!?

I do know that this is a low end device, but I just got it as a pass over phone for a few months and I would really like to get android 6 on it.
There are some shady sites on the internet that have info about the installing, but the links are all behind a survey?
So is there any support for it?
