I'm not against mods having their fun. As for topics, some of them can be enjoyable, but the polls are getting to be worthless. The one for getting Exile 4 when Jeff has said repeatedly that it will never happen was just too much. Some new members are getting too lazy to read the old threads before they start posting. The forums are rapidly filling up with junk polls. I was wondering if some forums are restricted whether the cookies could be read to restrict new postings in a similar way. Something like preventitive maintanence. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Surely 'around the beginning of the year' is good enough, rather than bothering about months? Posts: 587 | Registered: Tuesday, April 1 2003 08:00 |

There were only four polls in January (or at least, that's when they were posted in last). shadow, the made a few stupid polls in late December though. All the rating topics weren't until late February/early March. Dikiyoba apparently has way too much free time if Dikiyoba can afford to go look all this up.

Eh, I don't consider newbie polls entirely painful. If they're too dumb to warrant your reply, let the mods do it for you. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

I have had 697 monikers, and I'm missing around four of them due to file corruption. The rest are duly recorded. As always, a very nice cookie to anyone who can name them all. —Alorael, who has been at it for some time now and who is starting to get moniker fatigue. Oh, if only relief were to come!
