You see, we had a bit of a problem with polls.
There were people who had not absorbed the rules here who were making all too many useless polls, which cluttered up the boards. And even those who made somewhat useful polls had trouble creating ones that covered all the bases.
So, after a great deal of debate (if you scroll down you will probably find the thread) it was decided that if you REALLY thought you had a good poll idea, you could message the administrators and convince them that the poll was a useful one. If you can pass that hurdle, then no problems with the rest of us over it.
Further, speaking of the rules here: you will find that we are a picky bunch on the topic of writing skills. We expect you to display them in your posts. This is not a chat room; it is a forum. There is no need for haste in typing, so you can use full sentences, begin them with capital letters and end them with periods instead of ellipses. You should also make an attempt at correct spelling, such as 'thanks' instead of 'thanx' and 'people' instead of 'ppl'.
But welcome anyway. :) After you read a few more posts, you will get the hang of it, I expect.
