Yo guys -- its been a few weeks, I know..... but its the start of a new year, everybody's back after a little break and we're ready to hit the site - hard. We're all getting back into the groove - catching up on emails, PMs, etc.... but I thought I'd drop you dudes a little line to let you know what I'm working on right now.

Currently fixing a few outstanding bugs (stuff that you guys have been pointing out - and stuff that's just been bugging me) -- but I'm moving on to a new poll tool to allow you guys to create polls and embed them w/in forum posts. Its going well now, but I may run into a speedbump or two before we get this out the door..... as always, we'll keep you dudes in the loop and let you know when it goes live. 

Other than that, hope everybody is doing well and is excited for a great new year here at GiantBomb!!

Great. Now I'm torn between desperately wanting you guys to polish stuff off, and wanting the sorely missed poll feature.

Whiskey Media. Awesome, either way.

I want that poll! It would seriously help for all my pancakes/waffles threads.

Expecting to see many thread questions that will use polls the first day the feature is released. :P

Good job guys, keep it up!

Don't get so excited. They aren't the kind of poles you're thinking of.

Polls would be a pretty damn cool feature for everybody on the forums.
Not only will people be able to simply vote, i.e. not spam a thread it will be easier to see people's opinions quickly instead of reading the whole damn thread.
Thanks, coonce. Happy '09
