Poll: Should a poll be placed in the lower right hand corner of Bungie.net?  [closed]
Yes:  78%
(14 Votes)
No:  22%
(4 Votes)
Total Votes: 18

I was examining the new front page, and I couldn't help but notice the vacancy in the lower right hand corner. I think it would be cool if a poll from the voting booth would be imbedded there. A "Weekly Poll" might gather more interest in the Voting Booth, and create a larger source of user input. What do you think?

I wouldn't mind seeing something there. A poll, caption contest, or other weekly event could be placed there.

Teabag makes you good.

Everybody loves a poll!

I logged into Bungie.net and all I got was this lame member rank.

I'm all for a weekly competition/poll on the front page.

He watches every Hodgetwin video they put up...on ALL their channels. He calls them the Hodge Triplets, and considers himself the 3rd triplet. He's started talking and acting like them now. Every other line out of his mouth "Thaaas some BULLLLLL**** maaayne" or "Gotta make dem gainzzzz". He calls his biceps "gains". When he eats post-workout, he talks to his biceps, "Don't worry gains, I'm feeding you. Daddys gonna feed you, gainz *kisses biceps*".

I personally believe that polls may just be the most awesome thing ever. Yes, we definitely need a poll on this site...

Here's something you people are forgetting: it won't be emtpy for long! Groups? Halo 3 Stats? Beta? All coming soon! Perhaps 'Group of the Week' or something!

Or more Halo 3 stuff. If we can handle anymore.

95% of the Halo 2 XBL population mods. If you're one of the 5% who actually has a life, copy & paste this into your signature.™

88% of people playing Halo 2 are below the age of 12. If you are one of the 12% that are older than 12 put this in your siggy.™

Not to stop the "poll love" (that sounds worse than what i meant), but don't we have a voting booth forum? Bungie don't do all that much with that to be honest. And surely they'd run out of ideas very quickly. All the halo based polls have already been done to death. Not to take away from the fact that its a good idea but i'm not sure what the polls would be. Evenutally the'd decay into:
Who do you think has the largest colletion of paperclips:
a) frankie
b) Evil Otto
c) Sketch
d) KPs Mom

So i beleive its hard to implement. But a good idea.

...so does this guy.

I'm all for it - use the voting booth as an archive of weekly polls - i'm sure with the wealth of 'knowledge' at the web teams fingertips they can stop it degenerating into a KPs Mom fest, much as some people might enjoy that.

Finally an idea from the septagon that didnt have 90% of people saying "it'll never work LoL"

If it was a weekly poll then no. Too many websites do that. But if it was a monthly caption contest then yeah.

A poll would be nice. Maybe it could show you the results after you voted, and have a link to the poll's thread that reads "Discuss This Poll", or something like that—in case you had any additional comments on the poll.

EDIT: My Idea
