Are you tired of polls that have nothing to do with the wargaming hobby (e.g. favorite song of a rock group)?
yes
yes!
no
no opinion

John Armatys12 Oct 2016 8:12 a.m. PST

Yes.

Winston Smith12 Oct 2016 8:17 a.m. PST

No.
I love the off topic polls.

In fact, I believe we have had at least two polls on this. Both came out in favor of off topic polls. Are we going to keep running identical polls until we get the "right" answer?

And I will add the usual "Is anybody forcing you to open them and vote?"
After all, this is not 1975 Albania.
We are allowed to be silly.

Actually, we've gone through at least one period when the readers voted for no more off-topic polls, then later voted them back again. grin

Is this a non-wargaming poll? evil grin

Tgerritsen Supporting Member of TMP12 Oct 2016 8:40 a.m. PST

I honestly forget there even are polls about 99.9% of the time. They are so low down on the left hand side that I just tune them out unless someone makes note of one in the main topics.

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP12 Oct 2016 8:42 a.m. PST

No.

I prefer the actual forums to be wargaming related (if only), but for the polls, I kinda like that they're all over the place.

Broglie12 Oct 2016 9:49 a.m. PST

I think most of them are nonsense and just clutter up the board. Wargame topics only please!

Patrick Sexton Supporting Member of TMP12 Oct 2016 9:55 a.m. PST

No, I am not tired of them. Not by a long shot.

Exactly

You don't like it, don't click it. Ain't rocket science.

I go to the fora for wargames related purposes (not always successfully, alas). The polls are just for a few moments of light amusement. Therefore, my answer is: "no, I am not tired of them."

Texas Jack12 Oct 2016 11:08 a.m. PST

Not tired of them in the least.

thorr66612 Oct 2016 11:26 a.m. PST

Zardoz?

To get more wargame related polls, suggest more wargame related polls. This is mostly a user driven part of TMP though dear editor is becoming a pincipal poll provider lately.

We've exhausted a lot of gaming polls. Even my "favorite part of the bayonet" received serious attention.

What's next? Favorite Napoleonic sword knot? Best shako cord? Favorite volume of "Napoleonic Pom-poms & Shako Devices: Theory & Practice"? (Volume 22 is easily the best of those.)

"Belt Holes of the DAK: 1940-41."

Allen5712 Oct 2016 1:27 p.m. PST

Yes I am tired of them. I asked a similar question here TMP link pretty much got shouted down.

The only non-wargame posts (including polls and poll suggestions) that I am tired of is ones complaining about non-wargaming posts.

Asterix12 Oct 2016 1:38 p.m. PST

miniMo:

Yes this IS a non-wargaming poll.

Hoisted by my own petard!

Duc de Limbourg12 Oct 2016 3:31 p.m. PST

yes

You can move them to any place on the page you want, you know…

Hafen von Schlockenberg12 Oct 2016 7:44 p.m. PST

How do you like your eggs?

The Beast Rampant12 Oct 2016 8:44 p.m. PST

No.

Old Contemptibles13 Oct 2016 12:53 p.m. PST

I had a poll deleted because it wasn't game related.

"You can move them to any place on the page you want, you know…"


Of course that would mean I cared enough about the polls to go through with that.
