PPC accelerator poll

[number6]

@thread

2 quick things:

the background leading to the creation of the poll

The poll is a xoops poll (members only), as opposed to a normal thread poll where anyone can vote. It was designed that way as an information gathering instrument.

If one issue is the hesistancy to become a member solely for the purpose of registering a vote, I truly understand.
Maybe you could implement something similar here on amiga.org to help gather some responses.

I'm not managing the poll either. I just noticed that it had been pointed to from here, and thought I should clarify what I knew to be the reason for its existance.
At this point, I realize my 2nd point was made in haste, and should be disregarded.
The very reason for the xoops poll was to obtain unique serious responses.
Fostering a poll with the same entries on amiga.org would merely result in duplication, which the poll creator surely does not want.

Is there an accelerator?
Let's just say that the facts to date are that dealers would like that as a product option.

Hmm... now that is interesting... go on spill the beans...

As luck would have it, AW seems to be down again atm.
I was going to point to some links, to show the statement made by Amigakit, at the very least.

If you read the thread from years ago (link given within the thread I pointed to earlier) you can see the phenomenal # of responses.
With each passing year, perhaps interest seems to decrease.
Or perhaps it is just because it has become so difficult to believe in anything?
I still believe the most horrid/misleading statement ever made was "classic is dead", especially when you consider -when- that statement was made.
Whether anyone makes an effort as regards the subject is totally unknown at this point. Relating the history would be pointless, because I can only deal with the human resources that remain at any given point.
Sorry, if that is vague, but that is as much as can be said without leaving you with any false impression or illusion of promise.

I only glanced over the thread, but I noticed something about %-ages of members vs people voting and so on. One thing to bare in mind here is that the number of active people is significantly lower than the amount of actual members. Remember that Amigaworld doesnt close accounts, so there's probably a not small portion of members who dont actually use the site. I actually asked to have my account removed almost a year ago from amigaworld.net and they refused me, and I know Im far from the only one.

And still having a membership allows you to actually get the facts you are alluding to. Otherwise, you can not access the xoops members pages.

http://amigaworld.net/modules/xoopsmembers/

Try "Last login is less than X days ago" and enter "365".
1950 "members found" vs 4604 "members" shows on front page.
Rather open and honest, no?
