Hi Bakis

> btw, if more people cared to vote (and not only 50, out of more than 1200 members! ) then the polls would give much clearer results for sure. but...

I think one problem is, that the list of open polls is endless.
The polls last too long. If you don't respond direct to the initial poll 
requesting mail, it is close to impossible to find a decent poll in this 
loooooong list. Also you should remove old closed polls from the list.

Also the public interest on a question gets lost, if the answer takes 
too long.

So: Keep a poll open for 7 days, send a closing warning (again with full 
link to the poll!) 24 hours before closing and then really close it. 
Make a thing happen fast and clear - this makes the thing interesting 
(thats what I leared at the university, and thats what every marketing 
specialist will tell you).
