I think the weather must be great for there to be more people who vote

Since the current poll out is looking like users here will mostly like shorter polls (1 week), I figured I would try to make some 7 day "quick polls" here and there - so figured I would start out one about web browsers.

PLEASE FEEL FREE to leave suggestions - Looking for a subject that will apply to everyone world wide (not just one country). Feel free to post them here, or leave me a private message with them if you want.

As for the current poll about web browsers - I would guess that top 5 will get the most votes (Chrome,Firefox, IE, Opera, & Safari) - but included about 14 others

**** Also the past poll about an Anonymous vs. Public was pretty close (Well most people don't care) - but a more people like Anonymous then Public... but since it was pretty close, I'll try to mix in some Public votes along the way for fun.

coan.net: okay got the first part now i just have to bug you for another 75 polls then im sorted..lol

Snoopy: OK, I lied - I went ahead and released the poll a few minutes ago since this next week will be a busy one for me, so might as well do it now.

How long should discussion polls stay open to vote?

Some quick facts:

Most votes are done within the first 2- 3 days (for example, the 2016 Summer Olympic poll was open for about 3 days and got 249 votes)

Other polls lately which have been open for 1 month has gotten around 350 votes

The World Cup 2010 poll has been open for about 2 months, and has gotten around 550 votes.

So of course the longer they are open, the more votes they will get - so what do you think is a good time frame?

MY OPINION: 14 days for a poll to stay open, giving the majority of people a chance to vote and hopefully catch those who are on vacation. And then also try to start one every time one ends, so around 2 polls a month. (Of course if the votes say something different, I'll try to do what the public wants..)

Other opinions or thoughts?

coan.net: good job i got a life long membership then

Snoopy: If I stay up on them and try to do 2 a month, then it should only take a little over 3 years to get about 75 more of them.... Maybe squeeze in a bonus one here or there and maybe get it to just under 3 years...

coan.net: OMG thats going to take years to get

Snoopy: http://brainking.com/en/Achievements?aid=26&submit=Submit&p=1

... There is also one for 50 votes

coan.net: where is this 100 achievement i dont see it
or are you winding me up

Snoopy: I already have one in mind - I was just kind of waiting until June 4th (when one of the current ones is complete) to put up the new one.

... I still need 75 more to get the 100 Achievement!

alot of us still need one more poll to get the achievement pretty please

Glad to have suggestions for Polls, but lets not start harassing other players by naming them here. (posts & replies have been removed.)

fair man: You can, however, suggest a poll question on this board and if is a good one then one of the poll creators will create it.

fair man: As a pawn, you can not. You would have to be a big boss or little boss of a fellowship, and then you could create one just for your fellowship.

how do i create a poll

coan.net:

Snoopy: So I won't mention that there is an achievement for 50 public votes also! (of course there is also one for 100 votes.)

coan.net: another quick one would be great has i still need one more to get the achievement then i can finally shut up about them..

coan.net: Hmm... I haven't shut it off, yet I got no notification of a new poll. Something is weird about how it works.

coan.net: yeah thanks i caught that one remembered to turn option back on..lol

For those of you that might have it hidden, there is ANOTHER new poll out there (I'M ON A ROLL!)

This one is simple - curious if people like the Anonymous or Public poll option.

That is, like the Pizza Topping Public poll where you can see what everyone voted for.

... or if you like the anonymous option (like the World Cup Poll) where you don't see what others voted for.

You forgot extra (or double) cheese....so I hit all the cheeses that I like. I still like meat on my pizza, but have to have the pan pizza from Pizza Hut.

GLAD TO SEE YOU HAVE PINEAPPLE

Nothingness: http://brainking.com/cz/Board?bc=153&plla=1048074

jalapeno and banana peppers aren't listed and they are a must along with crushed red peppers.

how do i create a poll?

Bwild:

Pedro Martínez: theres also road kill pizza...most are pre shaped!! lol

puupia: I cannot even imagine how that would taste. Reindeer and crowberries are completely unknown to me, chanterelles I haven't had since forever ago and emmentaler is indeed quite unusual to be used as a pizza topping. I guess you can only get something like that In Finland or other Nordic countries, people are crazy enough there to prepare such a pizza…

How about a pizza with smoked reindeer, chanterelles, crowberries and emmenthaler cheese? Not the most usual toppings. I had one like that a while a go and it was awesome!

I don't know if you had fresh Spinish listed on the poll, I've might of over looked it, if I didn't vote for that one.

puupia: Pineapple and bleu cheese together? You're a gourmet! :))

coan.net: I have had corn on my pizza, and it was not bad at all, but carrot… hmmm, I don't know, something just doesn't seem right with that… lol

Pedro Martínez: Yeah, you are right as usual :) I've lived in US a bit and the pizza experience there is completely different from the european one.

I also like blue cheese in my pizza a lot.. Salami, pineapple, japeños and blue cheese pizza and i'm in heaven :)

puupia: I think that when you look at the selection of toppings, it is clear that it is the American pizza what should be considered here. You can hardly get any other salami than pepperoni in the U.S., while here in Europe it is quite common to use quite a variety of salamis. Also the cheeses listed in the poll are rarely used in continental Europe (except for mozzarella, of course). We don't use provolone, cheddar, or Colby (which is actually a cheddar too). Instead, edam is very popular, as well as a number of blue-veined chesses. Then the bacon – the European bacon is not the same as the American one. And so on and so forth. You're right about the chicken, turkey, and I would also add beef. To sum it up, American pizza is simply different from European pizza. And I have different favorite toppings for each of them. :)

Pedro Martínez: Yeah pepperoni is there. But its only a kind of salami, and not really my favorite kind..

And then in the meat section chicken is not listed. In most pizza places in Finland you can get chicken in your pizza easily, but turkey is more uncommon. I guess this might be the case elsewhere also.

Also sausage in the list is something that most europeans don't really know what it is. I'm quite sure coan.net means the american kind of sausage with that one. And that stuff its not really sausage at all :P

Pedro Martínez: I thought carrot's sounded better then corn... but corn has more votes then carrots..

coan.net: Nuts on pizza – that sounds to me almost as awkward as carrot on pizza…

puupia: Jalapenoes was *almost* on the list. I actually spent about an hour doing internet searches on what the most "popular" toppings of pizza were - and like I mentioned, I probable had over 100 toppings at first... but tried to take off those that seemed a little less popular (leaving Almonds and Pecans on the list because I've never seen nuts on a pizza and thought it might be interesting if either of those got votes.)

But since I have to type in each answer - submit - then as more answers are added scroll down to add another answer, I tried to keep the list as short as possible while still trying to get the most popular.

So speaking on nuts on pizza - anyone ever see that and or try that? I'm not too big of a nut eater but for some reason it sounds like it might be kind of good on a pizza

puupia: Oh yes, jalapeños, I knew I was missing something essential there…

But salami is there, isn't it? As pepperoni. :)

coan.net: Some quite obvious choices are missing. Salami, tuna, fresh garlic and my favourite jalapenos.. And of course i understand that listing all possibilities is quite impossible :)

Ownercase: But they have finpits!

fish dont have armpits....

rod03801: Mine still shows 24 of 25 (which is what it said before this poll was created) so apparently the new poll has not been added to my stat yet.

Also maybe wait another day or so, but I would like to know if people like having the polls be "public" where others can see their answers (and that it does still look OK on the poll page... and not make it hard to read and/or not hard to vote.) [again, will be interesting to see after 100 or 200 people vote and are all listed there.]

Snoopy: Funny.. mine says the same thing.

coan.net: 25 really it only takes me to 23
guess i missed some when i had showing polls on my main page turned off and you didnt post them here

coan.net: hold the anchovies!!! they taste like fish armpits!!

Well we finally got our 25th Public Poll (which can give many of us our achievement for answering all 25 polls)

I know I do not have all the option for toppings listed on this poll. I tried to list what I think are many of the top options, along with a few other options... BUT I KNOW I DID NOT LIST THEM ALL. (the poll would have hundreds of options if I did.)

So PLEASE feel free to list & discuss your favorite toppings here.

Also to have some fun (and to see how it will look), the poll is "public" which means everyone can see what others voted for.

Nothingness: If you are the Big Boss of a fellowship, you can create a poll inside your fellowship. (I believe Little Bosses might be able to, as well) Only Fencer, Tanein and Coan.net can create site-wide polls.
