 Topic: Will we survive these Survivor Polls?
Posted: July 07 2012 at 22:07 |
Too many survivor polls if you ask me, all famous bands and albums, enough already, no offense.

The survivor polls would be cool if we only had one or two going at a time. As of now, I feel like it's pointless to start any other polls because they'll just get bumped back to the second page quickly by the survivor polls and would only get a few replies. Hopefully the craze will die down after the wave of "classic" bands is exhausted.

I don't really get the appeal of the Survivor polls -- even if they were about my favourites, I would find it a tedious exercise. That said, I'm voting don't care as they don't really bother me. I post in Prog polls too much as it is (definitely the forum I've posted the most in), so if they help me to lose more interest in that section, then it's a good thing for me.
PA will survive, but I do hope this site outlives those polls.

No, we will not survive them.
They will be the death of us.
Thanks to those polls I have contracted an extremely rare fatal disease.
And I only have 65 years to live :(

It is not bad idea. But I think, that pseudorandom polls generator from PA database and pseudorandom generator of our voices is sufficiently effective. And sw solution of polls automatization is more inexpensive than your hw project.
Edit:
But seriously - I don't care.
Polls are interesting time after time for me. But for your comments rather then for results.

The solution is simple, don't vote or comment in them.
My biggest problem is that me remind me way too much of reality TV.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

A while back, we separated the polls out of the other forums to give other threads more of a chance. Do we now need to have separate polls sections to quarantine the knock-out style multiple polls (and perhaps the more frivolous head to heads) and allow the more considered polls to develop properly?
If so, how do we differentiate clearly?
