LinkPizza 02/29/20 3:30:22 AM #93:	FrothySolutions posted... Not everyone, just like how not everyone votes in the poll. But the front page is where most people go to a website. So it's a reliable metric. How do you know that? Or why do you assume that? Do you have any proof that most people do. From what I can see, most people seem to frequent the same boards. And when you use the same boards enough, you computer will usually add those boards to your favorite list, or most frequent board list. Allowing you to hop to those boards without needing to go to the front page at all. Some examples of that would be somewhere like here, CE, the sex board, and probably politics. Some game boards are like that, as well. Like for a while, most of the switch games had most the same group of people for a while. Other people sometimes find the site by searching for something for a specific game. And if they find it, they are usually taken to the board or Faqs page of that specific game game rather than the front page. And, from how many people found this site by doing that, it's not much of a stretch. Not to mention, some people probably don't vote if they think it's spam or pointless, even if they see it. Which some might not if they are coming to the site for something specific. They, there's probably people who ONLY come to this site to vote. There are probably people who can vote multiple times. Anyone with an account can vote before logging in, then vote again after logging in. And anyone with multiple accounts can vote even more than that. And as many people in this topic has already said, a lot of them don't even vote in the poll. You keep saying for x amount of people who vote in the poll, y amount of people don't But you're pulling the numbers out of your ass with no way of even guessing that number. Basically, your whole argument in based on nothing, and you have no actual facts numerical stats to back you up. And it seems that many people who have spoken in this topic have told you how the poll of the day is useless in trying to figure out how many people actual use the site, as it has nothing to do with user count at all. And can be easily manipulated. FrothySolutions posted... When the polls go down, so shall those forums go down. Mark my words! Again, that's just assuming... For all you know, the poll with stop working before the forums shut down. Or people may stop voting in it for whatever reason, but still use the forum. People already have mentioned not voting. Quite a lot, in fact And that's just on our board. Go to the other boards and ask, as well. You probably find quite a lot of people in total who forget, or just don't vote at all... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
