What is your Opinion of DU polls.

[MNDemNY]

Poll question: What is your Opinion of DU polls.

[HopeHoops]

1. NARWHALS!

FUCK YEAH!!!!!1

[MNDemNY]

4. I am unfamiliar with that language. Please translate.

[HopeHoops]

10. Does ANYONE have the link to the original Narwhals FUCK YEAH!!!!1 post???

Please post it here.

MNDemNY: There was an old post about narwhals and it involved a lot of pictures and the "FUCK YEAH!!!!!1" thing is significant because of the "1" at the end (dropped shift key, I think). It has sort of become a running gag like breast feeding at the Olive Garden.

Hopefully someone will have the link. I tried to find it but there are just too many hits in the search.

12. Thanks!

16. That is at least really similar - the first 8:16 p.m. post has the first "FUCK YEAH"

I think there was another one that was much longer and included the "FUCK YEAH!!!!!1". There is also a t-shirt out there that says that.

27. OMG thank you.....I have been laughing for 5 minutes. nt

14. There is a "newbe" down thread that needs to see the "moran" pic. You got it?

[HopeHoops]

17. I know it is in the DU "definitions" type page but I forget how to get to it.

It is the one with all of the definitions (like "freeper") and why we use terms like "casting asparagus" and "moran". The picture is on that page. I just forget where it is.

2. Depends on the poll. Polls which receive many votes may be a good snap shot of DU regulars,

but poll which get few votes probably are not very good snap shots.

[MNDemNY]

3. I've noticed results , even in heavily participated ones vary in result by time of day.

[ZombieHorde]

22. Polls should be kicked a few times per day. nt

5. Was looking for the

"small furry animal with huge front" teeth option but had to vote "Zebra" instead.

[MNDemNY]

6. I will include that option in my next poll. Promise!

18. Many thanks!

7. spelling

"Moran" is NOT how you spell "Moron". Please people - I see that spelling hundreds of places on the blogs - drives me crazy! Or are you just being deliberately illiterate such as saying "ain't" to emphasize a point??? x( x( x(

A spelling snob

9. It was not an error. Any one have the Pic?

20. There it is - irrefutable proof that morans are alive and well.

[MNDemNY]

25. Thanks!!!!

[HughMoran]

30. Oh, but moran is 100% accurate

So is HUGH!! for huge.

Therefore, you're a HUGH MORAN!!!11!! (not you, just sayin')

[question everything]

8. Ever since I found out that the owners - perhaps even moderators -

know how we vote, I no longer participate in any, unless my opinion is not a secret, as an example, a recent poll about the lame, self servicing "un rec" function, that gives a way to bypass the DU rules designed by.... the owners.

Did not vote in this poll, though.

[MNDemNY]

11. Yup, and they can read your personal messages , too.

[question everything]

15. I did not know that. Either way, I don't get or send PM

and recently deleted everything in both the sent and the inbox.

21. DU polls only give a good picture of those who bother to respond.

Even given just the number of DUers, that is not especially an accurate picture or it certainly cannot be proven to be an accurate picture.

[MNDemNY]

24. I don't know, I often lie on DU polls.

[elocs]

28. How about DU polls only "possibly" give a good picture of those who bother to respond? n/t
