Well, there enabled now and there is thousands of possible questions. There has been decent discussion value so far, I don't understand why you have to post an attack on the thread. It's not an attack, it's a legitimate question. As ALG said(forget his display name atm) topics tend to become made that are just for the purpose of the poll, which in turn stifles discussion. I don't think there's a better example than this topic, which is basically a gigantic survey. Its off topic so I doubt its really going to have a huge affect. The 'Today...' topic that I posted a few years ago is still active today and follows the same principle you've stated with the difference is that its one question. Like I've mentioned, if a Forum Moderator feels that this thread is unnecessary then they have the ability to lock it which hasn't been done yet and even a Forum Moderator has posted too so I doubt that it will not be locked without a taster of what discussion value is created within this topic.
