Actually, a sample size of ~1000 is considered more than good enough for an accurate survey as long as the survey covers a broad swath of the target community, which in this case it did (reddit, 4chan, dayzmod.com). Most polling you see for high-stakes things like Presidential and Senate races are only using sample sizes of ~1000 even though the results are considered legit for states with tens of millions of people. /end nerd talk http://www.sciencebu...ticipants.shtml

It seems like cooler minds are starting to prevail. I have to say, props to the mods for all the work they put in, but it was kind of dismaying to see how some of them acted in the previous "cans" thread. First off, there is no "better" DayZ community. Seeing some of the posts that suggested that others' opinions weren't valid because they didn't put in extra time moderating the dayzmod.com forum came off as extremely entitled. The bashing of reddit was pretty immature as well. These forums, reddit, SA, the hundreds of smaller community forums based around DayZ... all are valid communities and all have mods and server admins that put in their own personal time to build the entire DayZ community that we all love. Please keep in mind that the community the current development team is developing for is much, much larger than these forums and so they should be cognizant of making sure the wider community's opinions are taken into consideration.
