Did anyone get PM'd by Beta2000, wondering if he could ask you some questions..?

[snow patrol]

I got this PM a while back and was just wondering if anyone else got anything similar:

Hi, Snow Patrol:

I am a graduate student at Georgia Tech. I am working on a class project of the analysis on an online community. I pick the Anandtech forum site for this study.

As a diamond member, I believe the information from you is very important (lol ).Can I ask you some questions on your experience with Anandtech site?

Any way, I eventually answered a load of questions that he sent me over email and he was very thankful.

Anyone else receive this, or am I the mythical chosen one?

I think he picked on you for your great grinch icon.

 

[snow patrol]

Nope, this was back in the days of frosty (and fear not, those days will be back )

 

[Isla]

You are the mythical, chosen one.

Hmmmm.... watch out! People do come onto boards like this just to mess with your head. No joke... they are called Sociology majors! Why do I know this.... um, I minored in Sociology. Please forgive me.


Seriously, they like to see what kind of reactions they can get. AlphaIVT could very easily be a social researcher!

:Q

 

[snow patrol]

<<< OOOhhh they added a new icon

 

[Czar]

Nice icon, keep up this type, love em

btw.. havent gotten a pm from this guy

 

[Isla]

A NEkkid Cracker Icon would be sweet... Azucar!

 

[Isla]

Hey, snow patrol... do you mind forwarding the questions? I'd like to try to figure out the hypothesis behind them.

Then, we can totally play with his/her head!

 

[Adul]

We would love a naked icon

 

[snow patrol]

Sooooorrry, I formatted my hard disk and I never bother (erm, remember) about silly things like backing up my emails They were standard fare such as 'why do you contribute', 'best/worst experiences on the forums' etc etc.

Gee, I feel left out. I didn't get a PM.

Russ, NCNE

 

[prodigy]

I've never gotten one. :frown:

 

[Viper GTS]

Russ should feel really left out, he's never received a PM...

Except when someone figured out a way around Zuni's PM feature, &amp; PM'd him anyway...
