Is it just me, or are the options to start a poll in MPSIMS missing?

I can see the options to start new polls in other forums, just not in MPSIMS.

The polling feature is turned off for MPSIMS. IIRC, the feature is only available in IMHO, CS, the Game Room, and ATMB.

This little-known gem of a thread (a sticky in ATMB) has great information

Has a posting with a poll ever been moved into another forum? I would think that, if that happened, the poll would still be operational.
