Roadripper was the first to have polls, or at least that I've seen. Then as far as I can tell, I was the second to make a thread about my polls.

Later that day, Google made a poll thread. To my surprise, he was the last to make one that day. I was relieved; I thought that it would stop there.

A few days passed and there's a flood of poll threads. Now I have to wonder, "Is this my fault?"

Did I start a chain reaction causing everyone and their cousin's uncle-in-laws co-worker to make a poll thread?

Please tell me if me making the second poll thread was a bad decision.

No, there have been millions of polls on AG. Google did not need a thread, neither did anyone else. It's not your fault, it's the threads fault. Threads are bad.

So are you saying I shouldn't have made a thread and just spammed all my friends' messengers saying "Please vote on my poll" every 3 days? :P I do that sometimes, but not to every single friend of mine.

That's a lot of poll threads. :O

I made a poll thread, and the first question was if there were too many polls. Most people didn't get the irony >.>

I got the irony, but I didn't post there. I looked at it, though. I think I saw one of the "flooder polls" that looked like it'd be organized if it was kept alive. Sorry alt, I don't think it was yours. :P

The threads are bad....

Well one flaw with some threads is some people never keep them alive. If they forget about the thread and never update anything, the thread is gonna die and everyone is gonna forget about it until someone searches through the ancient threads next to the locked ones and revives it. >_>

This isn't your fault dragonball. It's the fault of the person who decides to make another poll.

Roadripper had a valid reason to make his own official thread. He decided to revive his poll and for ease, he made a single thread for all of his polls. Though, it seems that everyone wanted to make polls of their own.

I don't know. I kinda flicked the domino after Roadripper missed it. >_>

Yeah.. Many people began making polls after you made yours. You have no fault though, because they decided independently to make their own polls.

If you say so. I'm still not entirely convinced.

And about my last post. Don't I have weird worded metaphors? :P

Actually, I made a very un-popular poll in summer last year. And how did you start it Dragonball05? (nifty name, dragonball)

Oh, great, so now people thought Roadripper started polls?
I can swear I was the first one to create a poll...

Surprisingly I can't remember the usernames for my past polls, but here's one: http://armorgames.com/user/FiretailHasPolls

Anyways, I was the first to start polls, RPGs...*babbles on*

Anyways, there's a trend. One person starts something, it becomes popular, than everyone's doing it.

Well, people have forgotten that you made the first AG poll.
Roadripper though, is the one who has recently started the trend.
