The results of the RPGnet poll are:
252 votes
Changeover: 56%
No Changeover: 34%
Partial Changeover: 10%
Option 6: 13%
Note now ...
The First Changeover Poll, here on ENWorld, received 990 votes.
The Second Changeover Poll, is at 1,138 votes, and climbing (and still, in a shorter amount of time than during the 1st poll.)
This difference between the two ENWorld polls is 148 votes, and climbing. The entire vote count of the RPGnet poll is 252 votes.
In summary, we will soon have a greater vote count difference between the First and Second Changeover Polls, here on ENWorld, than the entire vote sent into the RPGnet poll.
I think that the people over on RPGnet really aren't that interested in the subject, frankly.
Does that mean they are not really that interested in D&D either? Beats me. Just not interested in the editions subject.
I think that here, on ENWorld, there is a tremendous amount of interest, and interest in general in the Hobby has increased.

I think you are over analyzing and making hasty judgements. It could well be that they simply have a smaller pool of active people. The percentage of people that vote in a poll must be equal to or less than the number of people who see the poll.
Furthermore, you do realize that the longer your poll goes on, the less reliable it is don't you? Polls works best as a snapshot of opinion at a particular moment of time. By extending that moment and not allowing people to change their vote, it becomes harder to read the attitude of the people who voted because there is the potential of opinion change among the early voters.

It is also possible that the RPG.net poll hasn't been bumped regularly with posts about Star Fleet Battles. That is how I perceived all the nonsensical off-topic posts. They were just cleverly disguised bumps to keep the poll at the top of the page.

If so, at the very least you gotta admire the dedication. That was a crazy buncha typing.

Dude, you just made me blow granola and milk out my nose.
Sometimes, eating and reading EnWorld at the same time is rough on the sinuses.
And yet, I am guilty of bumping the thread as well.
( I just can't win today... )

If I wanted to simply bump this thread, I would have bumped it. Ala: bump. Get it? Bump! I did that many times with the First Changeover Poll, which ran far longer than this one has, so far.
There was no need for me to bump this thread. Everyone has been too busy arguing over 3E and 4E and other subjects, for it not to be bumped. All *I* did was try to add a few light hearted posts concerning another game, marked Off-Topic, which I thought some of those reading this thread might appreciate ... since the game in question was quite popular, and is remembered with fondness by many.
As for the RPGnet poll, we got more votes than it has gotten in total, within the first 2 days of polling here. No bumping needed. Merely an avalanche of opinion.
In the first 5 days, we got 3 times the number of votes the RPGnet poll has gotten. Again, no bumping needed. I didn't have to say anything. Just a continued avalanche of opinion.

1153 votes, and:
Changeover: 33%
No Changeover: 58%
Partial Changeover: 9%
Option 6: 31%
I never claimed this poll was accurate. Heck, I never claimed it was even relevant.
However, I do believe that the more votes we get, the better, because it indicates interest in the hobby. So yes, I really do enjoy watching the vote count rise - every new vote is a vote for the hobby itself (regardless of edition) in my book.
If the poll received 2,000 votes, nothing would make me happier. 3,000. 4,000. 5,000. 10,000. More votes means more people interested in the game.
So what if they like or dislike 4E (now), or 3E (now), or Pathfinder (now), or some other edition (now) ?
They will be interested in 5E (later), 4E (later,) 3E (later), OD&D (later), other editions (later), similar games (later.)
That's my take.
