Excellent job, poll-creating people, well done.

I agree with Cindy that on this occasion the poll needs to be more widespread, um, -ly, posted than usual, because we're trying to reach those outliers who may only post in a single thread, or two, of interest and who may be unaware that their opinion matters. I'd catch books, movies, other media, and fic as well as the threads she mentioned.

3. Would more television based threads increase your enjoyment of the board? Yes/No

I'm wondering about how the answers to this question could be interpreted. Does a "No" vote mean that more television threads would *decrease* my enjoyment of the board?

Because, speaking only for me, more television threads wouldn't really *increase* my enjoyment, but neither would they *decrease* it.

Would it be possible to slightly re-word it, like so:

"3. Would more television based threads affect your enjoyment of the board, and if so, how? (a) No effect — it wouldn't make me enjoy the board any more or less; (b) Yes — I would enjoy the board more; (c) Yes — I would enjoy the board less."

I can post links in some other threads.

thank steph. noted.

Great job on the poll, y'all -- thanks!

3. I post at b.org for: a. general social interaction/maintaining establishing friendships b. discussion of TV c. discussion of fandom d. more than one of the above e. none of the above f. all of the above

This is the only question I had an issue with, since I'd rather see the different options people choose. I'm thinking along the lines of, the options could be a, b, and c as you've written them, and then d could be "none of the above" or "other" (with a textbox to explain?), and then allow people to choose more than one option.

I do understand the desire to keep the poll simple, though. Would this clutter it up too much?

I've posted in Music, Movies, Great Write Way, Hereos, Firefly, Minearverse, Buffy and Angel, Non Fiction, UnAmerican, Boxed Set,

Is that enough or should I post more?

Fred, regarding the policy changes and thread creation. This poll is for information gathering purposes so initially we want to find out if there's interest in revisiting the rules and if there is enough interest then start discussing possible changes. The same thing for the thread creation.

Well, I think I'm the same as Fred. I don't necessarily want the voting rules to change, but I'm open to the discussion. If you want to keep the question as Y/N, maybe just change the wording from "Would you be open to re-visiting the voting rules?" to "Do you think we should re-visit the voting rules?"

I think that should be good. honestly I did not know we still had some of these threads.

5. How do you navigate the board? a. Read New b. Click Threads c. Both d. I do not understand

Would using Message Center instead of the Home Page be the same as "b"? Or should it be it's own item?

I ask because by using the Message Center I only see the threads I'm subscribed to instead of all the existing optionss.

Is that enough or should I post more?

IIRC, there used to be a few people who posted mostly in Spoilers. I don't know if they're still there, or if they've started visiting other threads as well. Might be worthwhile to post it in Spoilers just in case.
