In any case, those instances are not cases of using one's e-mail persay, but rather of accessing online services--including using the account with which TC has posted this topic--that would otherwise be unavailable without ownership of the e-mail account originally used to subscribe to them. It is entirely possible to continue using the services specified, if TC does in fact use them; it would just have to be the case that he had subscribed to those services long ago, and has not needed to check his or her e-mail since then. The eponymous poll of the day refers simply to the process of accessing one's e-mail account, sending messages, receiving messages, and the like. Playing an online game or ordering goods over the internet does not necessitate this process, I should think; unless, for example, one has forgotten his or her password to the online account, as is the case for someone who has not accessed it for a very long time, or if the service itself requires scheduled password updates. --- Number XII: Larxene.

The_Mighty_KELP 01/24/20 10:05:45 PM #35:	I don't ordinarily visit the GameFAQs Poll of the Day Board, but someone tagged me in the topic, and I see that the APotD board has been brought up, so I figured I'd take this opportunity to set a few things straight. OniRonin posted... https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-actual-poll-of-the-day-board LinkPizza posted... There is. Its on that other board. The link is in the second post... This is actually not the link to the Actual Poll of the Day Board, this is a link to the GameFAQs Contest Board. I'm not sure why you got this so wrong. LeetCheet posted... Yeah if you want a discussion you'll probably have more luck at the Actual Poll of the Day board. It's a pretty funny story how that board came to be actually. It's not really that funny or interesting. I wanted a board that was actually dedicated to on-topic discussion of the poll of the day, so I made one. I modeled it after the on-topic board for the GameFAQs Top Ten Lists. LinkPizza posted... I thought it was just a guy who got mad that PotD did what they wanted and so he made a board to actually talk about the PotD, and won't let it turn into this board... darcandkharg31 posted... Cause it's just a user board because the owner of the board got pissy that people talked about things other than the poll here. I didn't get mad. Very few things on Earth actually make me mad. At worst, I felt mildly annoyed, but it wasn't at the users who were posting off-topic, it was at the fact that the board isn't topicality-enforced in the first place. Why have a board that's named after and linked to from a prominent site feature if it's not going to be about that feature? It's like how if there was a subreddit called "talk about everything related to fish," and then it wasn't enforced and everybody only ever talked about cows. And then when anyone ever tried to talk about fish, everyone else on the subreddit yelled at them. It's just silly, IMO. shrugs kirbserker posted... Why does the poll still link here, then? Do the people running the site hate it? People can still talk about the poll of the day here - you just did, after all. It's just that the community around the board has made it more hostile towards people who have legitimate discussion questions about polls, and there's really nothing that can be done about that. kirbserker posted... I agree. I had assumed for the longest time that there was actually a topic for each poll so we could discuss it more in depth and see what the author had in mind. Must've been a different site that does that. The link to the Actual Poll of the Day Board is here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1324-actual-poll-of-the-day-board And it's also in my signature. I don't know if you're thinking about a different site or not, but you bring up an interesting point about the author of the poll. It used to be that the poll had user-submitted questions, but a year or two back, that was changed so that all polls are now submitted by the GameFAQs mod staff. This makes it more difficult to ask, "what did the author have in mind when they came up with these specific answers to this question?"
