If you have any problems at sfcommunity.co.nr in loading your story or submitting it let me know i may be able to fix it, otherwise i`ll have to hope that ic3m4n or baley are around to do so.
For anyone needing profiles approved there i have approved all to date, and usually try to do that at least once a week, and problems PM EvilPandy on gc ultra since i log in there a lot more than i log in to gc.rt.
The site can host a poll there starseeker, its limited to one item a a time which 10 choices for things to vote on though, but the problem is that during polls only about 20 people bother to log in to vote there and its mostly the same 20 people, mostly guides ex guides, and one or two people that don`t like guides but not enough of a collection to make it a viable place to vote.
fore voting i would suggest keeping it in game, that way even if someone were to vote from different speeds its not really a bit deal but as people don`t have to naviagate away from the game its more likely they`d do it here than anywhere else.
from experience with players in this game, the only other way to get something done is to email people. but that`s not a viable option.
Lazy is key if it involves less stress and travel for players (therefore game forum) then its more likely they`d vote.
Perhaps keyword in the tital could be
April Vote / Poll
for example then ask whatever in teh main part and limit people to a yes, no or maybe answer.
allow only comments on a maybe answer and that makes it simpler to count up, a maybe answer if reading comments could end up going either way if the issue were resolved.
again just suggestions, enjoy figuring it out :)
