Questions about the community | Thesis

Hi guys,

This might be a little out of order but I hope some of you will be able to help me out.

I am currently writing a thesis on interactivity, communication and participation in virtual communities and for a benchmark I would like to include the Adobe Community aswell.

For this I need certain information regarding the community. My questions are as followed:

In what ways does Adobe communicate with you? E.g. newsletters, posts from moderators, events or webinars.

How do members like yourself interact with eachother? E.g. replying on posts.

Are there certain rewards or stimuli that motivates you the interact with other members? E.g. kudos or points.

What kind of knowledge or information do you exchange with eachother? E.g. information regarding products, newest updates, different methodologies. 

I know this is a kind of odd thing to ask here but I am hoping to atleast gather some information that will help me further with my thesis.

Thank you in advance!
