X-Phile Census

The X-Phile Census (in 2008 also known as The Global X-Phile Census) was a fan run survey conducted by fan Emma Keturah.
The goal of the census was to understand who X-Files fans are in 2008, what their nationality, age, season or favorite character is, and etc.
==2005 Census==
the first census was done in 2005 but unfortunately the results are not waybacked and thus no longer accessible.http://emmaketurah.livejournal.com/134301.html It is interesting to note that the number of Italian fans in 2005 were second only to fans from the United States as noted by Italian fansite Beyondthesea.it .http://www.beyondthesea.it/news.asp?id=785
==2008 Census==
The 2008 result were never published either because the creator had to extent the deadline "for a while until I get my hands on a copy of Excel". In June 2009 a fan reached out to Emma and suggested to use the free software Open Office for processing the data but never got a reply.
The word about the 2008 census was spread on several international Philedom communities due to the higher interest in the fandom caused by the second X-Files feature Film I Want To Believe. The news of the survey was spread on pages like the German XFilesMania community,http://my-mania.eu/board/thread.php?threadid=9810&threadview=1&hilight=&hilightuser=0&sid=3dc1962979566171ea62ec95f7c0225e&page=1 Italian fan site Beyondthesea.it and Ecuadorian fan site X Files Fans Ecuadorhttp://xfilesfansecuador.blogspot.com/2008/10/censo-x-philo.html who translated the English questionnaire in their native languages. The initial deadline was November 21, 2008.
