Good theme, no idea what I will come up with yet, but surely there is a lot to choose from.

Nice idea (but then, I like all these poll ideas...), although I already fired my best shot in the Free-for-all poll... Will come up with something else then...

I actually thought of a theme already. How about "magic"? Like wizards/wizardry - sorcerers/sorcery. It can be a broad concept, like taking magic metaphorically. Magic is everywhere, love is magic etc. I believe that everyone of us can come up with something related to this. You don't have to be interested in magic to participate, I think. What is your opinion about this theme?

BTW, I really don't remember if this theme was used before or not. Please inform me if already done.

Sorry for not responding sooner, Mila. I've been taking a little break from the site. I hope that your mother is recovering well and that you are managing well. All the best.

Being a caretaker is tough work, Mila.  May your mother recover well and completely.

@ Logan

I'm sorry for this late reply. I haven't been around lately because I have to take care of my mother. She has been in hospital and the recovery will take longer than expected. Hopefully I will be able to start a new poll next month. I apologize for the inconvenience. This music forum is great and I really enjoy the interactive polls and esp. the music discussions with you guys! Smile

Ozgur, I'm glad to hear that as I could see why one might get a negative impression from my post.  Sometimes people assume negative intent from me when it's not at all the case (that happens to all of us sometimes).  I can be a very careless communicator, thinker, writer and these days a terrible rememberer.

Just in case you missed this.

As previously suggested...

ALIENS
Theme subject could be expressed in one of the following manners.
-Brothers from Another Planet
-The Truth Is Out There
-We Are Not Alone

What do you need me to do? Set up the whole poll?

If you want to do it, otherwise you might want to wait until you become more acquainted with the process.  I can help if needed. We each set up the topics and do the polls when we take them on (not sure how many you've engaged with).  You open a poll, write up the OP mentioning theme and rules usually, try to type something in all the 25 poll spaces (we commonly do an acrostic with a message spelled out from bottom to top), if you don't then those poll options cannot bed edited later with the nominations.  

Usually the rules are that after nominations people must vote for three options not their own.  I let the nominations round last about one week, and then I put up the nominations and people have another week to vote before the next poll goes up.  I would set up a date for final nominations to begin with so people know.  Most people know how this works who participate, so a lot of details aren't necessary.  And you can always edit your original post and adapt at first.

I prepared this list before of polls to help people acquaint themselves with the topics, reading the original posts should familiarise one with the approach. If you want to adapt my rules (mine are unnecessarily wind-baggish and convoluted), while also mentioning your theme, feel free.  There is something of learning curve, and it does take some effort.

Most important to start, topic headline: Interactive Poll: Aliens
Add a letter at least to all or most of the poll option spaces
Explain your theme in the OP, basic rules, and deadline for nomination.

After you know all of the nominations, edit the poll by adding the choices, then it's open to voting.  Hope this helps.

I can help as needed, though I will be a bit busy, and I imagine others will in the thread.  Just make sure you fill up all of those poll options (and I meant to write, an acrostic from top to bottom).

For me this is great theme:

"ALIENS
Theme subject could be expressed in one of the following manners.
-Brothers from Another Planet
-The Truth Is Out There
-We Are Not Alone"

I can think of lots. I won't mention the first one that sprang to mind as I plan to mention that in my post (someone else might first, mind you).

If one added ation to alien  (alienation), I could think of a great many more.  That would be more like "ultimately we are alone". Cry

Aliens sounds a bit specific to me, and I think I would struggle to find something that's not by David Bowie (whose songs everybody knows).
