It's totally out of control. Considering how many new members
select some permutation of "dream theater" as their nick, not
surprising I suppose. Of course, they arrive and think it's
either clever or novel to compare their gods to some lesser, mortal
band. 
I don't know how it can be handled - would the admins put a moratorium on DT polls?

NS, I know you're a happily married man, but dare I tell you - just for this once - that I love you?   This morning I entered the forum and found four or five polls with DT in them.... I've got to the point that I start shouting "No! Please! Take them away from me!" whenever I see their name, or even the names of individual band members...

What is this Bern-thing all about? Suddenly this obscure Canadian guy is in everyone's signatures and mentioned in every thread!?

DT polls that lower their reputation as you said Tlossy.. Sometimes its just like, DT vs (something really isnt music and very "low")
But, the ultimate most annoying thing is *uhuk someone who always complaint about someone else's tase of music...

I don't know guys, DT's reputation can not be lowered with any polls, it's already below the ground level for me.

Well, "Prog-Metal Speciallist" did not equal "Dream Theater Blind Follower" the last time I checked.

For me, n00bing and DT polls are the most annoying.

According to my latest poll it would appear that people prefer Europe to Dream Theater... and 2 people would prefer Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors to both of them.

If it were Raingods with Zippos, it might be different.

I wouldn't mind it if the DT polls were DT against bands that were at least in the same genre and posters would be able to do a logical and interesting comparison about what is better about both bands, but "Dream Theater vs. King Crimson" on this site is like "ELP vs. Miles Davis" on a jazz forum.

My god there are more Dream Theater polls today. I didn't think there could possibly be more. (Don't test that statement)

Oh. In that case it's not as annoying as DT polls and polls about DT polls. Walruses are cool.
