The Online Community Research Network is kicking off our next research project to study how online community cultures form, what factors effect change, and how hosts maintain a desired culture.
We have found that the best source of information about community best practice and strategy comes from the collective experience of real-world practitioners.
If you would like to participate in the study, you can find the research survey here:

Again, the survey is intended for experienced community managers and strategists only, please.
