@Sunflower8848 a few reasons - it was attracting spammers, we couldn't vouch for the credentials of anyone posting research requests and overall it had very low traffic.

Hi @autienotnaughty thanks for checking with us first. We did used to have a Not For Profit Surveys topic where we allowed students to post research threads but we closed it a few months back. As TheOriginalFrench pointed out, we do have a Non Members Request topic but there's a £30 fee for any threads posted there.
