There has long been a small consensus believing the only reason for a Forum is to ***** it with some sort of favourite item Poll, even though it actually achieves nothing, unless of course, you are the type to rely on the opinions of others.
They usually result in the over-spamming of the Forum, and significant members have left as a result of their persistent appearance in one form or another.
I certainly would not encourage more Polls, and would be happy to see much less.
We can't be far off comparing feet...( or has that been done already ? )..... BUT each to his own,,,,no-one can say the demise wasn't predicted long since..............:/
