There are lots of polls, just wondered what folks think of them.

You know what, in my mind its just the same as OT or political threads, if it doesnt interest me I ignore it. Anyway, their a fun new gimmick and it will wear off at some point

I think they're cool! I'll have to think of one to start myself . . . .

Ugh. I guess I don't mind the poll itself so much. But I don't want to know how old people are, where they are from, how long they've been playing, whether they've served or like pets, nor whether they shave their armpits. Call me a grouch, but there you have it.

grmph.

Bloo, you old crab, sometimes you should just be quiet. Now I have to respond just to aggravate you, right?

I think posts containing explanations and comments are more interesting than poll results. I grow my 'pit hair into dreadlocks, just like the hair that grows out of my ears.

Very much agreeing with jim_mc. I think polls are a quick way to get the "temperature" of the community on a certain topic - they also have the advantage of being likely to get information from people who read but don't post. Of course, quality of information depends on the topic and phrasing of question/answer options.

They do seem to come in and out of fashion here (recent observations only, of course) but they don't plague my life; neither are they the first thread I head for when reading here in the morning.

I think they're fun. Hey, if you don't like 'em, ignore 'em right?
