I wasn't around back then, but my guess is that it started out that way, it very quickly became a practically dead board, people started making social topics, and topicality wasn't enforced.

As a matter of fact, that's almost exactly what happened.

The board was originally for discussing the poll of the day or creating your own polls; anything else was considered off-topic and was deleted. However, a user - whose name has long since slipped from my memory - used a creative loophole to get around this. He would make polls on random subjects, while always including an option for "Other" (which he always listed as the "G." option, which led to the birth of the now largely-forgotten "G. Other" meme). People could select that option and use it to segue into a discussion about whatever.

Eventually, the topicality rules were loosened overall and completely dropped for PotD, since they were largely only present as a thin veneer anyways, and that was that.

Back in 2003 I made a topic about how I met a dude on the pretending to be a girl in New Orleans.

The poll of the day was about current favorite ps2 game or something.

This board has never been about the poll.

I remember that kelp person promoting that board here. It's terrible that he feels he can do that but we can't go in that board and post about the original actual poll of the day board. OK, I don't actually care, but when I read the rules to that board I rolled my eyes.

Oh, yeah. They do have some strict rules. He doesn't want that board to end up like this one. Also, the poll is brought up every once in a while...

I went into one of them just a bit ago, it was about if you're right or left handed. People literally were just putting "right" or "left". Not sure how that's "discussing" the PotD.

I did see some familiar PotD faces over there though. The traitors.

Mostly because there usually isn't that much to discuss on most polls. There's the occasional controversial one that can inspire discussion among both regulars and people who are drawn from outside to express their opinions (which is actually how I ended up here in the first place), but that's not really the norm. If all we discussed was the poll, it'd be a pretty dead board.

This is true. Look the the APotD board. As AllstarSniper32 said earlier, one of their discussions was just saying right it left...
