4chan as a research object Dyne
So, I am doing research for an ethnographic project on 4chan, and looking at Transnationalism as well as how 4chans existence as an imagined community; because of this, I would like to gather some information from the actual membership body of 4chan, as well as see how community and identity comes into play with anonymous. So, if you would be so kind, here is a questionnaire asking a few questions. I would appreciate answers to any combination of the questions, preferable the entire questionnaire. Also, data will be kept anonymous (not much work needed there), and if you have any further things you wish to discuss, feel free.
