An Official Poll - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

numist · 12-01-2003, 12:29 PM

After the main server is back up, it might be nice to have an official poll, considering that forum is pretty useless without anything in it....

Ha! I once dreamed about this. Being above the law...daring the odds and posting in the TFP Poll forum. But I stopped and thought and I really thought, What the hell could I ever say that would be worthy of a TFP Poll that affects the entire TFP? I mean this has to REALLY affect TFP.

So I leave you with that thought.

And, I'm pretty sure it's been configured that only admins/mods can post in there, even though there's a "new thread" button.

I dont think you have permissions to do so even if u wanted to

doesn't have to affect the entire TFP, make it one week one subject. easy enought, imo, sounds like a good idea

I'd guess that the problem with having regular polls in the poll section (as opposed to gen. discussion) would be that, if there were ever a need for an all-TFP poll on something important, fewer people would notice the urgency and respond to it.

Exactly...however, you could just PM everyone....I assume admins can do that...

I kind of like the fact that nothing has ever appeared in that forum. Its probably the only virginal thing on TFP.

it alwayes amuses me that the work to make that forum was put forth, and it's never used.

It makes it more mysterious! Like Willy Wonka's factory. "No one ever goes in, no one ever comes out."
