How about Polls?

I have belonged to a few forums that had Polls in their software. Now this may not be an option in the Trainz forum, but if it was, I think it would be interesting to the members. You could vote on your favorite add on, freeware, payware, feature of Trainz or whatever. Might be something to think about.
 
I know VBulletin (the forum software this forum uses) does indeed allow polls, but I presume N3V decided to disable such a function. I could speculate why, but you would be better off asking the admin that question.

It is a very popular feature on other forums.
 
Seconded. Polls are fun, but the potential for abuse is high. I doubt the feature would be implemented due to that fact.
 
Yes, we should have polls.

And more smileys, and be able to have strike thru in text.

And taco Tuesday, oh wait never mind the taco thing.
 
We had: "Ignore this Post" thread, and that was fun, now it's time for "Poles", let's all take a poll.

Are there any Trainzers in Iceland, Greenland, and other North Atlantic Countries, places with Glaciers, that can tell me what icemelt is going on at the "Polar" Regions.

Seriously !

I read several articles, that say that an Iceberg, the size of Manhattan, broke off of Greenland, and all of Greenland is in danger of becomming unstable slush, and a 2000' thick glacier could slide off into the sea, causing tsunami and worldwide permanent coastal flooding of 7 meters (almost 22' above sea level). Is this true ? All "Polar" Trainzers please respond !

There is a scene in the documentary "Chasing Ice" that shows the edge of the massive Ilulissat glacier in Greenland collapsing or calving and violently crashing into the sea below. The piece of ice that breaks away is compared to the size of lower Manhattan, and appears taller than any building there.
While the East Coast and Caribbean dig themselves out from flood waters and downed trees, meteorologists and climate specialists are digging into the data to find out what made Hurricane Sandy so powerful. Was it a fluke, or are more storms like Sandy on their way to continue to wreak havoc on the coasts of the Atlantic? And, why is Sandy so noteworthy?
The easy answer, according to a number of experts, is that climate change is real and this year's record Arctic ice melt contributed to the conditions that created a storm like Sandy, which some dubbed "Frankenstorm" earlier in the week.
In this case, high pressure air from Greenland and a storm over the Central Atlantic collided with the hurricane as it moved north, blocking its path and careening it straight into New Jersey.

Sorry to sidetrack this hi-jack this thread, but this is a topic about the "Poles" !

I concerned about the ice melt too, considering the fact that I live about 60-feet above sea level!
I was at Glacier National Park this summer and about 90% of the glaciers are gone. It's pretty scary to see bare mountaintops that were once covered with glaciers.

I think we should start a poll on if we should implement polls.

For someone who has been quiet for quite the while, you sure are posting a lot in the strangest threads! Glad to see you still around, Josh!!

I fear the abuse of polls, but I think they are great!

Ahh. I've just been goofing around. Too much work lately, so it's been a nice way to kill some of the stress. I've been lurking a lot since I popped back in and got hooked up with JR. Have some projects going on, but it's all going extremely slow.
