I can't help but feel that all these polling questions are cheap, sure-fire ways to get on the "Popular Posts" list.

I wonder if other admins feel that way too.

Maybe they're just honestly curious questions? I think the opportunity to reply to them and see all the others is interesting.

I kind of like them. I think it sparks new conversation and interest.

aw, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to ask questions (I'm responsible for the stalking question). I just thought it would be more interesting/funny than what usually goes on here which is either a)"poetic romantic recount"
or b) "I do something weird that no one knows about"
I mean, what's there to say to stuff like that? "aw how cute"? "uh yeah, you ARE weird"?
Just for the record (for whoever OP is), I didn't even know that the popular post list existed when I posted it.

I agree with the OP. Though, I must say that I do enjoy reading them.

The stalking one was funny, but I see the op's point. The question posts make tangst seem like... a chat room. I mean, they're fun, but they also take up space. I'd rather keep those off, but that's just my opinion.

i like the polls, but when there get to be too many (aka more than one or two in a day), it starts getting annoying or overwhelming. they're fun to read though, like the other people said.

Hm... I really don't agree with the OP at all. Does that list even get updated these days? I thought it was kind of a defunct thing. Anyway, if people want to get on the most popular post lists then does that really matter? Just let them. I like the interactive-ness of a question.

i just wanted to see how many different people actually read tangst regularly.

^You are not the OP.

Because I definitely am.

^ they probably meant op of the other topic, and based on their comment, they're probably op of the counting post. no harm no foul?
