are the servers capable of handling polls yet? i think the option for members-only anonymous polls will open up a lot of interesting threads. we could always restrict polls like we do games. ---

We have chosen to disable the auto polling function, in some degree in light of system resources. We will always emphasize making postings over most any other function, that’s the main deal here. At some point it may reopen but no plans currently. That could change as our circumstances change, we’ll keep you apprised. ---
