Yeah, somebody just do one. How many people on the list even visit the thread anymore?
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 16 June 2016 02:54 (seven years ago) link
would it be a good idea to start a new thread and get people to reaffirm that they still want to run the poll(s) they're down up for? seeing as some people signed up years ago and have probably forgotten about it and are no longer checking this thread? (not suggesting that we start removing people from the list if they don't respond immediately, give them some time obv, but the current system doesn't really appear to be working?)

In two weeks I can run the Can poll if you want and there's noone working on a poll.
Can't wait to see your graphics!

is anyone planning on starting something soon? if not, can I start a Devo ballot poll? I don't want to step on the toes of people who have been waiting, but it seems like nothing much is happening at the moment?

Is the Merritt one happening? If no one is doing it I volunteer to do it about a month from now.

Should I take over and run the Oasis poll? (is ILM really interested?)

Sorry! Remember that bar that I'm in on our national fair? We moved location and we've just opened this weekend and it's doing great so I'm very busy :/ not sure I'll have time soon to make the Can poll :/

― bunny slopes, Thursday, 30 June 2016 03:42 (seven years ago) link
I can start the Devo poll today if nobody else is planning on doing a poll for the next couple of weeks, I'll wait of course if Gukbe wants to start the Merritt poll, or if anyone else who's been waiting in the queue is good to go

yeah finally a new poll, i was beginning to wonder if we would ever have artist poll number 76.

I'm so tired I feel like I haven't sleep in a month. Next week I'll be in Mexico city working with Corona beer (can't tell much but it's music related and I'm very excited!) and since all the people I know there are workaholics I'll have all week free in the evening. I could run the CAN voting thread and roll results when the Devo poll is over (who the hell is Devo!?)

Whoops! I must have missed that. I guess it's hard to do a word search for the word "can."
Question: could we get this done this summer? Love these polls when I have time to stalk them.
― Naive Teen Idol, Thursday, 7 July 2016 00:05 (seven years ago) link
Is this list now completely out the window? I've been patiently waiting years for the chance to do my covers poll.
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 7 July 2016 00:14 (seven years ago) link
I say just do your covers poll!
― Nicholas Nickelback (Leee), Thursday, 7 July 2016 00:16 (seven years ago) link
The whole purpose of the list is that, once upon a time, so many people wanted to run polls that it was mayhem trying to have them all going at once. Now, nobody wants to run polls and the list is basically a relic/reminder.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 7 July 2016 00:31 (seven years ago) link
I can do one next week.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 7 July 2016 00:40 (seven years ago) link
the list is still there, it just fell off. it sounds like Devo, and then Can and then i was going to do Oasis (i think). but since it has been so dead lately that if you are ready to do your poll you can pretty much do it at any time. just so long as one is not running when one is going on.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 7 July 2016 00:55 (seven years ago) link
I say put the word out on here and give it a week for people to respond. Whoever says they are still interested just start a new list with those and move the others to the back with no name attached. If people volunteer to run an 'unspoken for' poll then cool that one is back in at the end of the 'spoken for' list .

One thing I used to like was how people would bump this thread (or its ancestors) when a poll got going. It was an easy way to know when some hott poll action was happening.
Psyched for the Can poll!

Since it looks like the Can poll is covered, one other suggestion I could run is Tim Buckley if people think there's an appetite for that. Short career but nine albums' worth of material.
