Just a poll of general demographics

Athens · Apr 18, 2005, 06:00 AM

i cant change the poll to hide who votes so a little notice, all votes are public

Big Mac · Apr 18, 2005, 06:00 AM

Before anyone jumps down your throat, Athens, we should note:

*This is an unscientific poll that does not represent a valid sample of the MacNN Forums population.

Athens · Apr 18, 2005, 06:01 AM

LOL oh im sure some one will find a way to jump down my throat anyways.

Wow there is a serious lack of woman here

REB3L · Apr 18, 2005, 09:20 AM

Well, there's LBK, iWrite, JustAnOlBroad, and the dubious "Patty"... so essentially the ratio of men to women is 1000:1, not very good if you ask me!

wdlove · Apr 18, 2005, 10:43 AM

The results so far are very interesting. It would be nice if more females would participate on the forums.

Randman · Apr 18, 2005, 10:45 AM

Margin of error = -/+ 100%.

jokell82 · Apr 18, 2005, 11:08 AM

Plus not everyone (read: me) falls into the "political left/right" categories.

I like it that way. You get to see who voted which way.

And KeriVit. Actually, if you look here (MacNN Forums Member Photo Gallery) there are a few others, but they don't participate consistantly.

You know, Keira Knightly allegedly looked at the MacNN Lounge once .. that makes up for the lack of women 10x over!

Love Calm Quiet · Apr 18, 2005, 04:10 PM

"Results are public?" I can't even see *my own* results.

Another curiosity: After responding, stats say "Voters: 52" and Men: 48; Women: 4.
This sounds even less than "unscientific".

Love Calm Quiet · Apr 18, 2005, 04:13 PM

Even curiouser:
I voted at 2pm 4/18/2005 (MDT), although heading says:
"This poll will close on 05-18-2005 at 05:56 AM"

(Einstein plays again with space and time?)

You'll see your name under each category you voted for. Also, on this page, the categories you voted are in italics.

Why is that weird? It's a whole month later. Am I missing something at first glance?

Ditto!

(but I picked the "Left"... they throw mean a** parties.

)

Athens · Apr 23, 2005, 05:06 AM

looking at how few woman posters there are, I have 2 questions... Do woman really only buy PC's or are woman just not competent enough to use forums

because if its option one, im never going to find the right woman and will have to settle with a guy LOL

kemuri · Apr 23, 2005, 06:55 AM

Damn, I saw that one member voted for both political extremes. Can I go back and do that, too? Maybe add another choice for those who fall in the middle?

Athens · Apr 23, 2005, 06:59 AM

couldnt, max questions is 12, im in the middle so I voted for both

KP* · Apr 24, 2005, 07:08 PM

You need to work on your poll-writing skills. I'm bi and 25, what the hell do I put?

I just left those blank.

Athens · Apr 24, 2005, 09:37 PM

Gay and Straight LOL, because of a misclick im left out on the gay click

being BI and 25 myself

Kenneth · Apr 24, 2005, 11:19 PM

simonjames · Apr 25, 2005, 06:31 AM

So typical of Americans - you're either American or you're not. No wonder the rest of the world thinks you're a bunch a jerks.

And I answered 'married' - I think 15 years of living with my partner in a committed/loving relationship qualifies me to tick 'married' - afterall, it has lasted longer than my 3 brother's church blessed marriages.

Well since almost 80% of the people here are Americans, I don't think it's so ridiculous. Should he have listed every other country in the world, so that it would be 80% America, 1% Canada, 1% UK, 1% Australia, ...

Get over yourself, jerk.

simonjames · Apr 25, 2005, 07:06 AM

I almost didn't bother with the poll when I saw how juvenile it was - possibly other non-Americans thought the same but didn't bother with the poll

And I wasn't asking for every country in the world to be listed wally wataru - just regions. GAFY

Rather than being silly, you could have suggested continents.

First im not American asshole, second there is a limit of options, otherwise I would have put in Pacific, Asia, Europe, Africa. Considering there are more American Mac Users, and this site is American I figured I would see how many of the users are North American and how many arnt. So go complain to the Admin about why there is only 12 options before yaping I mean crying about Americans being jerks when it wasent even a American who made the post/poll.

simonjames · Apr 25, 2005, 06:33 PM

No, I can see from your bio that you are not an American asshole but your poll did group all of the North American countries together and so my initial reply is valid.

Yeah, she is, but I don't really tell people.

I don't think I told ghosser that I mentioned his sig to her. She said, jokingly, "He wants to hit me? I'll kick him in the balls then!".

go bitch to the admin about allowing more pool options then, besides by the looks of the poll this is mostly North American anyways as I suspected.

Yes it would. But females usually don't hang out in such sewage.

Well you'd fit in well here I guess.

And the rest of the world thinks no such thing. I told you a MILLION times to stop exaggerating.

Randman · Apr 26, 2005, 06:11 AM

LBK has many crises, judging from her posts on this site.

I'm wondering what's up with Simon. Who peed in his cornflakes?

So, you think that the lack of woman members on this board is only due to women being either too dumb to use a forum or because they use PC's? Jesus, after reading stupid bullsh�t like that, it's a wonder that there are any women members here (Cody Dawg/iWrite excepted as I'm not too sure if she even classigies as human).

Did you ever think that the level of conversation here could be so banal and dumb that most people would simply not be interested? Have you never wondered why so many members have left?
