[QUOTE="Dinkeldog, post: 374077, member: 195"] Yup, thought I was pretty clear. All internet polls of this type are 100% useless. If you want it to not be useless, then you choose a large enough random sample, and you set up a restricted website that only those people can get to, and then you take into consideration the number of people that don't answer the poll. I could vote on this poll twice, as I access this computer from home and work. Three times if I bothered to go to the bf's house and use his computer. Four if I cared enough to go to my parents' place. And still you have to carefully word the poll to make sure you're not biasing the subject. It seems like your poll question was really, "Is D&D in worse shape than it was 4 years ago?" but instead you asked "Is Hasbro/WotC mismanaging D&D?" You also timed it for when nerves were raw. Most people wouldn't read the opinions expressed here, as they're rushed and just want to sound off against Hasbro in retaliation for the layoffs Friday week. In reality, you seem to have few people willing to put out the effort to say, "You know, D&D was better in 2nd Edition than it is now." As to what the polls use are and why keep them around: entertainment value. The same reason why people call phone psychics. This isn't to slam you, at all, or discount your opinions. The discussion has stayed very calm and rational. I'm just trying to help you see why this poll wouldn't be very useful to take to a soapbox outside Hasbro headquarters. [/QUOTE]
