Games and polls in the forums

i think that you should have a forums where peeps can post there own polls and games for peeps to play and do. It may encourage even more to the site and itll be much easier to see where the polls are and games. You could set up a few rules for peeps to do but i think its a good idea

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK???

WHY
This is the supposed #1 coaster discussion site on the net this far without all that stuff, why start it now?

Its all about conversation.

Tekno: perhaps your point would be more convincing with some bold caps. Like...

IT'S ALL ABOUT CONVERSATION!!!

I would normally appologize for being an ass, but it's the weekend. ;-)

LoL, I tried, but for some odd reason, the computers here @ work dont' have the enriched text stuff, and I tire of typing code. You can always tell when I'm at work posting because I use more CAPS or *astrisks* and such...;)
Heres another suggestion, Have polls on the site by Jeff, I don't think I like the idea of custom polls. HOw about this?

There used to be polls here - back in the old days.

Just seems like a silly useless feature that sites with little content utilize to seem more full.

Does checking a dot and clicking "submit" really add much to the site?


Well, if say, you were on a sight that was just a closed group of friends, polls can be useful in info gathering, but on here, I can foresee polls becoming the basis of flame war after flame war.
I totally forgot about the polls on here. I guess that shows how important they are.

Polls are fine if Jeff is thinking about adding a new feature and wants feedback.

Tekno is right. Flamewars will more than likely start. Polls are basicly just popularity contests.

I think that the polls that people would ask are sorta answered in the Coasters Choice Awards in a more formal way...you know whats your fav coaster, park, most friendly, etc..
All of it makes sense. So, basically its just a useless feature, and plus Ride of Steel has a very valid point, the parks they feature are rated by proffesionals and deserve attention. Then people want to visit the parks rated the highest. ;)
