Did I miss something somewhere, or can we no longer post a poll? [?]
I have not posted a poll in a . . . l o n g . . . time. I just noticed I didn’t see the option to post a poll though. [B)] [8]
I vote neg on posting polls…
So do I.
Polls belong in the old forum.

Me too.
Well, let’s see, it’s not on the main page, but you can still do it on the MR forum, so I guess we all just got fed up with all the stupid polls.

All the polls at MR are the reason I quit going there.

Mabee we need a poll as to weather we need polls.[(-D]
Then again judging from this thread mabee we don’t.[swg]
Sorry Jim.
What’s wrong with polls- I happen to like them[^]
Isn’t the forum environment enough of a poll anyways? Not only can one voice one’s opinion, one has the ability to explain why one feels the way one does. Perhaps that’s a bit dangerous as it leads to a lot of the mud-slinging that occurs, especially when partisan politics are brought out into forumland.
I personally like the lack of polls here. I’ve been around other fora that included polling, and while a few were interesting, most were a waste of bandwidth. There’s a thread alive right now that’s a poll masquerading as a topic, involving 4449. The question was something like “Do you like 4449?” That’s just silly. What railfan would say no. And if that was a poll question, I would like to know the rationale behind someone saying “no” rather than just seeing that .07% of the people don’t like the 4449.
Nope, I think I can live quite contentedly without polls, and learn about other perspectives through peoples’ unabbreviated thoughts.
