Aw, and here we all were waiting for the "What's your favorite name for a kitten" poll. And the "what's your favorite shape for a cloud" poll.

Not to fear, though, someone will get them as soon as we have our monthly "What month were you born in" poll.

If you're 13 years old and doing trains, then more power to you and your polls.

Keep 'em coming.

If this is the best you can do with your time at 13, perhaps you need a couple of train sets to spend some serious time with!

When you are nearly 67, as I am, this type interaction can really fill up a day.

By the way, how come you aren't in school?? Let's take a poll on THAT!

I always had a theory with myself that cxs was a young person. I have a feeling that most of the poll starters are young guys who like doing computer stuff more than some of us older curmudgeons ( I like that word!)

but [#welcome] to the forum [:D][:D]

Ah, to have a Winter vacation from school with nothing to do....

Oh well, the kids will be back in school soon and this silliness will move down the thread list into oblivion. Until Summer, when we get to do it all again.

You will probably not hear much from me until the weekends once school starts back up again. That is why on Sunday night, i will post at least 15 polls before i go into "hibernation".

Slow down Jordan, take a breath. I've never seen anyone do 100 posts in 2 days. I think I speak for most of us here when I say, we want you to stay around, and be in this hobby for the long haul. I know it is easy to get excited, especially at your age, but relax.

We'll be here tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the ........

By the way, this isn't the same as chatting, but you can have conversations. Just don't expect immediate responses.

I know. I just finished explaining to the guys in the poll "Should i stop making all the polls" that i am not a [censored] or a [censored]. If you want to see a long piece of literature, look at the poll mentioned above.

Thanks for the warning. In the meantime, ask yourself if you want to be a productive member of this community or just be the center of attention. I think I know the answer but you can prove me wrong.

From time to time I think about elimating either the post count feature attached to everyone's ID, or the star rating that's driven by a user's number of posts. If you wonder why I would do that, this is a good example.

Let’s move on.
