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!

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

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

... There is also one for 50 votes

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

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: good job i got a life long membership then

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