One of our members @new2p2p has made the excellent suggestion of having a separate Board for Polls about general P2P issues. Not only can polls quickly get relegated to page two in the General Discussion Board, but they are not always obvious for those who mainly read recent posts. Thus, we have today created a new Board “General Discussion P2x – Polls Only” and moved several of the more recent polls to it even though they may have expired – there are currently two unexpired polls still open for voting. We will be moving some of the more significant historic polls across in due course. Please try to keep to polls of a more general nature rather than Platform specific. (I appreciate we currently have a platform specific poll here, but that’s in rather exceptional circumstances) I hope members will find this useful, and (assuming we’re all here next year) it’ll make polls like the P2PIF official awards more visible in the future.

It’s up to the admins etc and worth trying but I suspect that this may reduce the participation in polls as they are less likely to be seen. Less “drive by” traffic there. Time will tell.
Quite a reduction in voting in the polls I ran this year compared to previous years though, so worth trying alternatives and seeing what works.

I wonder if people hang out in site-specific subsections instead of in "general." Whilst I don't think it should be done for every new poll, but perhaps the Jonahs Unofficial Awards 20XX warrant a forum-wide sticky?
