**Moderator Action** While this is a poll about this message board, polling is typically done in IMHO, even for polls about the board itself. Polling is enabled in ATMB, but that’s more for test threads than actual polls. Moving thread from ATMB to IMHO. ---

At some point in the future, some important news is going to come out of the SDMB. Agent Orange and Fox News will then dismiss the SDMB as a liberal-funded outlet, _using this poll_ as proof. ---

I can’t answer because I’m a Canadian Conservative, which is probably left of the Democrats even. ---

> [@Private Willis](#): > > … every boy and every gal > That’s born into the world alive > Is either a little Liberal > Or else a little Conservative! That may have been true in 19th-century Britain, and may even be true in 21st-century America, but I’m not sure that it’s true in the rest of the world, so I don’t think that I can answer the poll. ---

I used to pay, way back when the subscriptions first started… but then I lost that status when I was on a cross-country road trip. Since I adblock everything out of self-preservation, the only thing I lost was my “charter member” title. Eventually the policy was changed so that I could get it reinstated, but by then I realized that it really wasn’t worth it to me. ---

None of the options apply to me, but honestly forgot that paying was an option. > [@watchwolf49](#): > > Communists never get invited to the cool parties … [https://www.threadless.com/product/383/the\_communist\_party](https://www.threadless.com/product/383/the_communist_party) > [@engineer\_comp\_geek](#): > > **Moderator Action** > > While this is a poll about this message board, polling is typically done in IMHO, even for polls about the board itself.

> [@Heracles](#): > > At some point in the future, some important news is going to come out of the SDMB. Agent Orange and Fox News will then dismiss the SDMB as a liberal-funded outlet, _using this poll_ as proof. This board is all ate up with proof. We didn’t need this poll to figure out which way the SDMB leans. ---
