For the past six months, a temporary poll to determine which format you prefer for the discussion forum has been running. You can see the results below. (Since the voting was equally divided, I get to cast the deciding vote, and I think we should try out the new board system and see how we like it.) The previous poll question has now been reactivated.
Please click here to send me your ideas for future poll questions (or post and discuss them on the chatboard).
