Just as the forums are divided up into "Life in Lusternia" and "Life out of Lusternia", so you don't have to read the one kind if you're only interested in the other kind, should this poll forum be split into two?

Then there'd be lots of room for the silly and semi-silly polls that have to do with turtles and such, plus the ones about moderation and other metaconcerns, in one forum, and room in the other forum for things about, well, life in Lusternia.

(Aside: the plural of forum is fora, but in the main topic title I put "forums" because I thought a lot of people wouldn't know what I was talking about if I'd said "fora" there. Long live pedantry! )

Hey, my turtle poll was clearly labled 'light hearted'

This would kinda make sense though.

Wow, never knew that. Which I really should have. *hm* I guess there was no reason to find the word for multiple forums in Latin, since a forum was like a place there, so there was no good reason to collect them. Also...yes. 99% of the polls here are just silly.

I voted for 'no'. The more topics on 'Life in Lusternia' forums, the more answers I can write. Therefore, I'll be a transcendant poster faster.

I say, ignore Cuber. He wants trans posting the easy way.

Polls, most of the polls on the Poll place are loosly attached to ig things. Except for that Ninja turtle poll, unless someone shows me where is the secret lair of the Ninja turtles somewhere around the sewage systems of either cities... and a rat suddenly introduces himself as Splinter.

Two Poll sections would be good. One for irl things, other for ig things and ig silly content things.

No way!

I could just move all things that you've posted in to outside of Lusternia. That way you'd go to 0 posts...

Apparently, this idea could have very interesting effects on me. Not that I'd like to experience them though. Let's change the subject into something... safer.

Wouldn't work - remember that "Shiri Posts Too Much" thread that was in Idiots? Well, when Daganev moved it to Real Life forums, Zaltan didn't lose the 2c or so posts he'd made there. Apparently post counts don't actually sum up every post in the forums, they just add one to a running total. Even deleted posts count for this reason.

I'm not advocating "make the silly polls go away!" I've participated in a few silly polls myself.

I'm just saying, maybe they should be a different bucket than they're in now.

I personally do not find that silly polls cause any problem for me, as in they don't fill up the page so that I can't see the real ones. I guess that makes this an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" situation in my view.

Lets break it!

Very fortunately. That topic should still have been left in Idiots!, because now it has died.

That doesn't have anything to do with it. Post About the Poster Above you started in The Funnies and began weeks after Shiri Posts Too Much, and it's already up to 91 pages! (Going on 100!)

So with the voting concluded, the results are far from a landslide, but there's a majority in favor. What of it, oh fearless leaders of the febrile fora?

(What's febrile?)

I'd say that the majority of votes should be considered... and have two polls sections. One nested in the RW for non-Lusternian things and this one, The Original, for Lusternian related things no matter how silly them topics are.

Eh, on other issues... I was kinda happy when someone with sense moved both TMNT/Dogs vrs. cats thread to RW. But then someone decided to remove it here. I wonder why....

It means go look it up! Every word that you don't know means that.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. *struggle through Oxford English Dictionary*

EDIT: It means...fever related! Yay! *goes to find what it was used as in context again*
