Good. We need more surveys, though I bet the outcome will be about 90% yes. The other 10% will be sarcastic joking people. :)

And while I'm at it, I think that 12 or more surveys is a good thing. The more, the better. I think the more constant updates of the site, the more commonly people will view it. That's just my observation.

>>I think the more constant updates of the site, the more commonly people will view it.

I know I do that.

Yeah, another example of that was when we started getting more news. A lot more people came, and more frequently.

Hey, you didn't write any of the javascripts on your site! You copied them all!

Yeah, Back When The Archivers Were Slacking, It Made Me Not Want To Come To The Site As Much, Though I Don't Know Why. Matbe It Is Psycological....

-W-

Why Do You Capitolize The First Letter Of Every Word?

Maybe it stands for something... like the capitilized letters of each word form something else... nah, never mind.

I'm soooooooo sad about my TI-89... most likely, I'll find it, but still.... I'm lonely!

I agree. At least for me it has caused me to check the website everyday.

Yep, that's the way it is for most people. More updates cause more checking up on the website.

That's why I have been going a lot recently

Yeah... *light bulb goes on in head* No, I can't say it yet, it might ruin it... (heheh)

Great idea, have a flood of surveys that only the most frequent visitors get to participate in. I'm not complaining, it's just that people like me end up missing a lot of them.

I think more is better, but it would be even better if they ran multiple polls at the same time. Each poll could have a timeout delay where people could still vote, and only the most current poll would be on the home page. If you look at the archives, it even lists the status of the polls (of course only the top one is active). I would rather they stay active at least a week, even if they're not on the home page. Anyway, just an idea.

I think the more surveys, the better so TIcalc.org can find out what people think. 12 per month might be the max, though.

Twelve is good, it's better than a lower number :)

But we don't want one every day. Every 2 days is good.

Two days is fine... I'd even take one day, since I view the site so much. More than one a day would be too much, though :D

But if you get one a day, you don't really get into any good discussions(sp?).

True... you have to see everybody's opinion, and as you said down there, I'm also curious about why one person voted no (my possible explanation may be incorrect). Maybe they really didn't want 12 surveys in a month... who knows? It's much better than that Survey Crisis of '01 or whatever (lol)

What Survey Crisis of '01? I wasn't there.

They didn't update the poll for a really long time. It's really fuzzy in my memory, since I didn't post a lot then. Barrett was talking about it a while ago, if I recall...

And almost everyone in the accounts database voted on it. (Or they should have; they had three months to do it in!)

And then they made their own polls... lol :)

It just says 12 surveys a month, maybe they wanted more...

Or they wanted our opinion about how many surveys we think they should have...

1 time a week...

No, then discussions are too long, and most posts get deleted because they are off topic.

i agree, i hardly ever check up on ticalc, and i like polls, but i'll bet that if they are changed daily, or even every other day, the total voters numbers will be terrible..

No, twice a week would be perfect. (IMHO)
As long as they were not:
HA!
()Yes
()No
()I am dumb

I prefer real survays :) w00t!

LOL... I can't imagine what types of conversation would emerge from that...

Come to think of it... whatever Henrik feels like doing, most likely, will be okay :)

Well, this is a free site, so I'm not going to complain.

Me either :) The survey updation (is that a word?) is very good right now, so I can't complain :)

But it is possible to make constructive suggestions. (WOW, I used a big word!)

Two big words.

Neither are really that big, when you think about it ;-)

Oh, you clearly don't know Henrik well enough.. ;-)

LOL... hopefully, we can trust him :)

Its better than the almost 2 month survey last summer on whether or not they should release graphlink software for linux...

Oh my... the big long fight on Mac vs. Windows vs. Linux.... *cry* WINDOWZ RULZ! :)

The funny thing is... everybody was getting all worked up about it. Nobody really came to the conclusion of "You can be happy with your OS and I can be happy with mine!" They (no... "we") just faught :)

It would be REALLY cool if ticalc.org had a daily survay :)

Maybe they should recycle some of the previous survays from the beginning of the site...

Is it just me, or is everybody starting to spell survey with an 'a'? ;-) You'd think it would be "survay" because it has an "ay" sound to it... English is a weird language.

Anyhoo, they have recycled some previous ones. Like the age... it was a recycled one, wasn't it? I am predicting in my head what the next one will be. :)
