It does feel kinda sad(or funny?) that our board, which is the real Poll of the Day board, is less popular than the board that is essentially a knock-off of this board.

We still have the 3-4 day purge from when the board would have hundreds of new topics every day. If anything, they need to cut the purge for this board down to 12-14 days.

That board was built from years and years of hatred generated because of users like Icoyar and Erik.

because newcommers aren't welcome. most people who come here do so because of the poll.

insert "what poll?" "wrong board" etc.

most end up not sticking around

If you pay attention, most of the time we only do that to people who post tired topics that we have seen a million times like "The poll results suck" or "The poll is missing this choice". Personally I would prefer those people stay the hell away, or at least learn what "discussion" means when talking about the poll (hint, it isn't whining and bitching because it isn't the poll you want).

If someone posts a topic about the poll that is rather open ended and leaves plenty of room for discussion, then we usually don't mind and will answer them.

I just noticed the board from the popular boards list and then saw it had over 16 pages of topics compared to our measly 8.
I just assumed it was popular when it was on the list of popular boards.
Also I just wanted to make a topic because it was a long time ago the last time I made one >______<

Came in to point out what others already have - that board has a two week active limit while we only have 3 days, and 97% of the topics over there are archived anyway.

on the other hand, archives let you prove what you say when someone claims they never said something.

People do that anyway. There are (or were) at least a couple GameFAQs archiving sites out there if you know how to look for them.
