General Forum overrun by polls....

[JiffyPopTart]

In general I am a fairly laid back and easygoing kinda guy....but for the past week or so whenver I pop onto the General forum to get my RPG gaming fix it seems like half the page is filled with SURVIVOR CONTEST or MARCH MADNESS bracket voting. It's driving me bonkers.

While I encourage everyone to have fun and to take part in the contests...is there a way we can segregate the actual voting threads to another part of the system freeing up the forum for actual topics of discussion?

Thanks
DS

Agreed on this...do we really need so many separate threads for these things? Ultimately it's the same thing over and over and over...

+1. I've never seen the slightest point in these "survivor" ones in particular, especially given that the game, more than ever, is about teamwork.

I suspect this problem will take care of itself as March Madness goes away. It's a fad; this too shall pass.

Weird, I thought I replied to this.

We asked Dave to scale back the number of threads on the first page at any one time. If old threads keep getting bumped up, we'll lock the expired polls and let them sink.

Maybe there needs to be a "bracket polls" subforum.

Seriously, though, those things are annoying.

Just saw this, though I am not surprised.

And sorry, but its mostly gone. The first two rounds, with 24 matches, did turn out to be a lot.
