AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I agree many of the polls are useless, but some do serve a purpose. I could think of many other wastes of server space, which I will now list
1. posting your sig in a thread and linking to it
2. repeating step one many times over
3. posting useless files in threads
4. not linking a picture to somewhere else on the web, and attaching the file instead
polls CAN be usefull. alot of ppl just post them for odd things. but to the person that made them, if its for a good reason. their heklpful...OH, and you posted a poll too

I have given you the perfect solution! Everyone who posts a poll (after this one obviously) will be subjected to hundreds of paper cuts! Mwah ha ha ha ha!

Personally I think that premade graham cracker crust kinda sucks, but to each their own I suppose. Besides, everone knows that pumpkin is the best anyway, and graham cracker crust just doesnt go with pumpkin.
PS. I also find it a waste of server space to have the superbolt ad still up on the main page. When is that getting fixed?

Well, i know that if there is a pole, i am very likely to just voice my opinion there instead of typing. Typing takes too much time, so i think polls are good, just dont read the dumb ones. They also organize the data much more efficiently.
I think polls can be helpfull, they can give a strictly numerical representation of the forum's opinions on different issues. Its easier to interpret than sifting through posts that may say no more than "yea...I though so" etc. But, polls like "Do you like pie" or any marker vs marker polls should really just be deleted or closed, its a waste of space in the 'Classic' clogged main forum.
