Asking for smiley submissions in ATMB

Practice poll in ATMB - We strongly recommend that you experiment with vBulletin’s polling feature here before you start voting on smilies.

IMHO thread debating the most useful smiley - This is the place to discuss which smiley is the “best” and/or worthy of your vote.

IMHO thread discussing the voting method

Let the best smiley win!

The list of smiley candidates is here.

Forgive me if I’ve totally missed something, but when voting and selecting a single box, I got taken to:

Clicking the link took me to the poll results.

But when I selected two choices, it went straight to the “Thanks for voting!” screeen.

istaral you should be able to vote for only one choice. Several people have said in the “test poll” thread in ATMB that they selected only one of the options.

I thought it might be interesting to have a round up of the current positions. As it is right now, the following would go through:



Those going through as winners of the poll

Poll 1:     Sherlock    (146)
Poll 2:     Uhoh        (111)
Poll 3:     Smashie     (194)
Poll 4:     Smack       (223)
Poll 5:     Hijack      (168)

Those going through as highest placed losers

(Poll 5:)   Dubious     (160)
(Poll 5:)   Foil        (151)
(Poll 4:)   Cecil       (130)
(Poll 3:)   Whoosh      (128)

Those just bubbling under, that could come into highest-loser status

(Poll 1:)   Evil        (125)
(Poll 1:)   Yuk         (124)

Other smilies that could conceivably come through

(Poll 2:)   Nerd        (97)
(Poll 2:)   Barf        (95)

These two smilies are losing in poll 2 to Uhoh with 111.

IMHO seems to be the place to discuss the actual pros and cons of the smilies, not here. But on a personal note, I’m glad to see that smashie is not the most popular!

So at the end of all this

[Christopher Lambert]

Can there be only one?

[/Bad French Actor]

Will only one smiley become part of the pantheon of greats?

Seems to me that letting the top three or maybe the top five join the club would make all this voting nonsense worth it.

Good heavens no! Too many smilies spoil the message board.

I come here for words dammit. Not pictures.

Yes.

Tell that to the US President! But I explained the reasons for that in the IMHO thread debating the pros/cons of our new proposed smilies.

You expect me to read? To do research? Foolish Admin :wink:

Thanks.

Why A Duck, only that smiley prevented me from releasing the hounds on you. I guess those little round yellow buggers are useful after all.

What time does the poll officially end?

12

Poll ended when the vBulletin polling software calculated that 7 24-hour time periods had elapsed.
