Skins Round 3: The Final Confrontation

Post by Crackpot »

Rules

One option
One day
You can change votes while voting is open
Comments and critiques of themes welcome
Two skins enter! One skin leaves!.... Or maybe both.
I don't know.
It's not my decision.

Since it was up in the air about the number of new skins we'll be supporting I figured we could use this poll as an aid/final arbiter.

The way I see it working is this:

Choosing one or the other will be a vote for an absolute preference the third being benign ambivalence.

High support for one over the other will point to one new skin for the board

HIgh support for both (outside of the 3rd option) will point towards a desire for 2 new skins.

High support for the third option will show trust (naive perhaps?) for the administrators decision.

Let the carnage begin!
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Blech to both. I can't say I have similar taste to those participating in the skins voting.

I'm glad I like the default skin.

I said it sounded like it.

You confirmed it was indeed a turd name. :P

It's just about in the hands of the admins now.


Admins:

When you get the chance could you inform us of your decisions?

I don’t think the outcome of this poll places any burden on me, so I defer. BUT I will continue using the default skin.
A sufficiently copious dose of bombast drenched in verbose writing is lethal to the truth.

I think it's gonna be Gob RB and Daisy who are going to have to come to a consensus.

Perhaps a cage fight? No Mud Wrestling!

I'm sorry, but how does this vote not express a clear preference for one skin over the other?

They may decide to do both anyway. (Gob had expressed this preference but Daisy and or RB will have to deal with it)

Agreed. We were asked. We voted. The results are pretty clear. I don't see the any need to come to any consensus.

What about my reply to Scooter do you not understand? Do you come to personal harm if they decide to add the other skin as well?

I set up these polls so the admins could make an informed decision on what the board wanted not to dictate to them what they must do.

I tried to run these polls in a way that would hopefully allow people to both express general preferences as well was favorites in order to hopefully please the most people for the least work to the admins.

How much work the admins decide they want to do is entirely up to them.

What is this about? What is a "skin"?
Reason is valuable only when it performs against the wordless physical background of the universe.

It's the style of forum appearance you prefer Andrew.

it's how the board looks. Clicking on the links on the poll will give you an Idea.
