    After all the completely useless and utterly pointless polls by AFI, I thought i'd get down to the real Question:

    Does AFI really need to spam the forum with crap polls?

    Pointless? Usless? or Entertaining and Informative? U DECIDE! :D


    (btw, no insult intended AFI :D , its all in good jest ;) )

    [​IMG] I think you mean Aldeth with AFI, but i like all that polls. I think it'S interesing to see what the other users think. But sometimes he posts 3 polls a day (i opened 2 threads all the time iwas here), that is a little bit to much.

    You should have gave more options in you poll. It's good to see anything new in this forum, as long as it hasn't already been done ;)

    [​IMG] This is pretty borderline, so if Aldeth wants this post removed, it will get deleted. Btw Morsmordre, go read the forum rules you agreed to follow upon registration, so that I don't see another "u" instead of "you" in your posts.

    Who is this person? What have they done? Where are all these terribly evil spam posts? I'm confused.

    Who? What? Where?

    Can we get a third option in the poll? The one that says, I have no damned clue as to what you're talking about?!? ;) :grin:

    Well said, Rallymama.

    Actually, I think (or at least I hope) that Morsmordre was just poking some what he felt was some harmless fun at Aldeth for his love of polls. Could have used a different approach, though.

    Nuthin' wrong with polls. Keep 'em coming, Aldeth!

    Obediently chants with Rally ...

    "If you don't like the guy's posts, DON'T READ THEM!"
    "If you don't like the guy's posts, DON'T READ THEM!"

    Wait, I haven't read any of the guy's posts ... now I'm curious enough to go searching.

    Thanks for the tip!

    I think Aldeth is exploring the last winkles of BG. I don't see nothing wrong with it. Actually, I've learned some interesting things. If I'd still be playing BG2, I'd even would implement what I've learned.

    I find a lot of Aldeth's polls quite interesting and thought provoking. Kudos to Aldeth for exploring in detail who the most popular BG2 npcs are, and exploring in detail the reasons for the popularity or lack thereof.

    Not all of his polls I'm interested in enough to reply to. Those mostly relate to gameplay and style issues, but hardly count as spam IMHO.

    Keep up the good work Aldeth! ;)

    If you don't like the poll, just move on to something else.

    I look upon it as enthusiam. Are you asking someone to curb his enthusiasm for the game that is most popular (I think) on this site? :hmm:

    AFI - keep it up.

    I had no objection to Elios's many posts of the past, and I have no objection to the Flopish Idiot's polls. In fact, I kind of like the guy for keeping the BG2 section of the site so active. :rolling:

    Woah woah woah!

    My harmless and innocent intended joke seems to have caused quite a stir! :(

    I apologise, this was not my intention... Splunge pretty much touched on what I was trying to say.

    Whenever i visit this forum (which is at least once a day TBH) there is a new poll (or 10) from Aldeth. I was merely trying to poke abit of fun at his ever increasing post count.

    I myself enjoy the polls, i wasn't by any wild stretch of the imagination telling him to stop posting! Keep it up Aldeth!

    I now see that I could have used a different angle with my little joke, and have now needlessly vilified my reputation. I apologise if I have caused any offence with this, it was not my intention i assure you. :(

    So, sorry to all, especially to Aldeth, hopefully i haven't caused you any offence with my silly joke :(

    Apologies again :)
