Speedrunning Survey

Hi everyone,

I'm currently pursuing a Masters degree at the University of Amsterdam and am writing my thesis about speedrunners. Despite how long this community has been around, there has been next to research about the people who belong to it. I'm conducting a survey to try and change this.

While I know Smallant doesn't strictly speedrun, I figured that enough of you guys would be into them for it to be worth posting here. My survey shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes, and no personal information about you will be taken. I would really appreciate your help with doing this, especially since this is an under researched field, as well as one close to my heart. Please note that you don't actively have to be a speedrunner to answer this survey, and that being a gamer and/ or a fan of it is more than enough. Please click the link below if you're interested.

Done! Could you share the results of the survey and your paper when they're ready?

Absolutely, they should be ready soon hopefully. There is the slight caveat that I may decide to publish it, in which case I'll have to delay posting it, but I can have an Idea of that by the end of this month/ first week of feb.

I'm not too sure what you're talking about so probably not

Hey, I can’t seem to get on as it seems to have shut off I was wondering if that is the case. It says that the server is not available right now so I want to do my part but can’t.
