gaters.net polls summary

Polls. We either love em or hate em, but they're here in abundance. I just did a quick review of all the ones available and summarised them below. Hopefully it'll create a few laughs, and perhaps give you an understanding of how most of us think around here.

The percentages are rounded up, and I haven't always included every answer, I just tried to show the majority, and any other interesting/relevant bits.

Told you it would be a worry with all these polls. I would have to say that the Sam and her undergarments was the funniest.

But what about the polls dating back over a year? Before gaters.net got wiped (or whatever)?

Still, great job, can't believe you actually did it
