Old School Poll Survey

24 October 2014 - 29 October 2014

Total Votes: 21,700

At Runefest we spoke to you about how we could change the poll system to suit your needs better. We wanted to put out this survey to find out what you think of the polls. Any changes that we make will need to go through a poll and will require 75% approval to change.
