Wheres Toto Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 That all these polls are slowing down the boards. :tongue_smilie: Of course, that doesn't stop me from answering them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My very first though, truth be told, was "Why are the boards so slow???" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Is there someone techical who can explain why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverland Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 So this is what is causing the slow boards...and.... who has time to create all these polls....and....why am I answering them?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCB Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I voted that nothing that happens on the board surprises me but it does make me laugh!! I keep looking to see the whole page covered with polls but I've not been lucky so far and now I have to go and get on with work. Good luck!

Parrothead Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 I think this is the last poll I have to answer. Somehow it got on page 4... :glare: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer3141 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I think it's dumb and I miss the smart conversations that cannot now spontaneously erupt because the board has been co-opted by inane polls. So I'll head over to some political sites until it all blows over but I am dying to know how a friend here did during her doctor's appointment today. I'm worried it will just get lost in the polls.

Cassy Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Frustrated. It's the first time I've ever wondered about complaining to a moderator. Has anyone done a poll about that yet? Mmmm :001_unsure: Cassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virg Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Somewhere in the middle but don't worry I jumped in with a frenzy! Edited October 5, 2011 by ds4159 Far too many "but"s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundrycrisis Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Is there a poll frenzy ? I have been out all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My first thought upon return? "I wonder how long it will take for the moderators to post a new sticky saying, 'Enough with the polls!' ?" :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty in Pink Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Other. Nothing on the General Board surprises me + WTF? I think all these polls are slowing down my browser/the server/whatever. It's making my page load S L O W L Y! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogMom5 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My thought is that people must be getting bored. Nothing controversial or spicy happening so why not a poll? They are fun. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4kiddies Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Truthfully, it was quite annoying...it slowed the boards down and I got sick of reading poll after poll of nonsense....guess I'm just not in a fun mood today. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Nothing on this board surprises me anymore. :) Hey, remember when we could rate posts with stars, or somthing like that, and someone went on a roll and rated a bunch of posts? Okay, I am not making sense but I remember something like that! When I saw all the polls, I laughed. I love this board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 It was hilarious and just the laugh I needed. Then I briefly thought I was a little nuts, because I knew some of the polls were things I'd seen before. But some were brand new. So I was double checking the dates on all of them, just in case. Only one did I open, intend to vote and see "you already voted in this poll" LOL!! I thought it was a fun distraction and a bit of time wasting genius. I seriously needed that yesterday, so I'm quite grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I was just glad it was something lighthearted instead of you guys arguing again!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 If polls were designed to gather information without leading to long typed answers and lots of "obligatory other" votes being explained...they've failed miserably. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyKapers Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I voted other. I didn't really think about there being so many polls until a thread was started about are you sick of the polls? Than, I went back and looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I don't mind, but I also was bored with all the old polls being resurrected. When I logged on last night almost the entire first page was polls. Some from a couple of years ago. I tried to go further back to find some regular topics to read about, but it appeared that most of the people were gone for the night....I assume they were bored and logged off too.

iamrachelle Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 The polls are what slows the board down?? Who knew?? Polls are a bit of an addiction, I think. I vote in all of 'em... yes, I know, it's a sickness. Don't judge me.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
