761162 2009-04-01 04:23:00 September 1998, the second week of PF1 going online AFAI can remember.

Where are all those original posters now ?

761163 2009-04-01 04:51:00 Another flawed Poll perhaps.

A new member may have valid input and therefore should be just as valued by this forum or community in my opinion.

There are members who have joined and never made a post.

I found a member here who joined on 26-07-2006 but the page had been visited 1,1165 times presumably by bots. Just go look at the member list. Zero posts but is a member.

I did not bother voting but for the record I have been around here for some time.

761165 2009-04-01 05:05:00 Wasn't there something before Jive? I seem to recall that PF1 has gone through two major software changes??? Or am I imagining things? somebody (208)
761166 2009-04-01 05:18:00 Looks like the ads are scaring away all the new users - it seems only the old-timers can be bothered sticking around to suffer!

Edit: And yeah, two major changes is correct.

Would you suggest Jen, that I should not think before I post?
You have the power to ban me from this Forum as you have done before.

You do not have the power to stop my thoughts though.

I agree that there was no suggestion membership length was related at all.

What I am saying is why have a Poll in the first place. A poll means nothing unless worded in a manner which allows all possible options.

For instance there could have been an option like "I do not know" or "I'm not sure" or "I think I know but I'm not going to tell you" or whatever.

As to your accusation that I complicate things. well I guess that is your opinion.

It is a complex world in which we live whether we like it or not.

Sweep, as much as I agree with some of your thoughts, you've posted a whole load of needless stuff before (as have I), which makes this poll worthy of a Ministarial roll.

761169 2009-04-01 05:53:00 Sheesh sweep, just take something at face value for once rather than leaping down everybody's throats. It's a simple poll, and it doesn't mean anything other than what it looks like on the surface - i.e. a place for those who wish to indicate how long they have been a member here.

The poster of the poll is free to word their options how they see fit, provided they comply with the rules - there is no rule as yet which says every poll must be obsessively tweaked to cater to pedantic conspiracy theorists and excessively stupid users. Nor is there anything requiring the poll to generate statistically accurate results.
