Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I realize that this poll has been done before. There are some demographic elements, however, that can be re-done occasionally due to the influx of new members. As such, I have constructed the following poll to broadly assess the worldwide distribution of the Spiderweb Software Forums. Since business is primarily conducted in English and the business is based in Seattle, I have been biased toward the United States in construction my options. Try not to take offense.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Breaking down North America into six sections, or seven if you count a bit of Latin America, but dividing Asia oddly such that some people don't live anywhere? —Alorael, who would rather just see a poll by time zone. And another poll by functional time zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 I assemble a poll based on what I expected to see (primarily US, Canada, and Europe), then proceeded to add options based on population with internet access. Since "other" has no votes thus far, I consider that sufficient. That said, Soviet Russia would have been a good one, expect that, out there, the poll option choses you. (I originally intended to make a time zone poll, but decided it would be too bloated. I also considered being more detailed in US regions, but dismissed the idea for the same reason.)

Did you actually sit down and write all of the options you could think of and then hit "poll" or did you just throw in a random/approximate number, listed the first things you could think of first and just filled in the rest by ear?

There are plenty of people within 1,000 miles of Chicagoland who do not reside within the Central Time Zone. Of the Midwest states, most of Michigan and Indiana (and all of Ohio) do not share a time zone. Many of these tens of millions of people fail to suck. Fewer still frequent these forums.

I wanted to ask why the ancient continents of Atlantis and Ys weren't added, but then it hit me that Atlantis is in fact in west Europe and Ys is part of Oceania. As for Elephants, a rabbi once told me that when god split all human tongues, at the end of the tower of babylon affair, he did it by turning all humans into two groups, one of monkeys and the other of elephants, that's how they can reconcile with both the theory of evolution and the hebrew name for an elephant Reader discretion and critique thinking is advised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
