| LusterSoldier 03/27/19 5:37:14 PM #216: | Advokaiser posted... @LusterSoldier The past 2 polls have surpassed the 11,000 vote barrier by 2,000 votes, and the current one is about 14 hours in and already at the 10,000 mark. It's most likely caused by the new poll layout that was introduced 2 days ago. Several months ago, a feature was removed from the site that allowed mobile users to navigate to the PotD much easier. Without that feature, it seemed like vote totals dropped off slightly and this is supported by the following poll result: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7168- During the history of that poll, the "All the time" option had been consistently trending upwards until the most recent result where it dropped off in percentage. In 2017, the "All the time" option got 13.09%, but dropped off to 11.88% in the 2018 poll after a feature was removed to allow mobile users to navigate to the poll much easier. I noticed a drop off in vote totals in early August of 2018, which was around the time that feature was removed. The new poll layout is good for vote totals because mobile users don't have to scroll very far to find the poll now. During the poll when the new poll layout was introduced, we were originally on track to finish with around 11000 votes based on the 12 hour mark, but ended up finishing almost 2600 votes higher than that expected total. In the poll update data from that poll, I uncovered evidence of a vote total spike that happened around the time the new layout went into effect. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! ...
