Survivor polls deleted?

Hey, just a quick question:
Why are different survivor poll rounds deleted? I mean what’s the point?
I was trying to look for a couple of rounds that I missed and couldn’t find them anymore. Umm... is there a special reason for this?
You cannot just archive those?

I have been archiving the old rounds when they were over, but not deleting them, so I cannot answer to the question.

@ animalkingdom... I can e-mail you the votes cast for each round or for the rounds you missed if you like... e-mail me if you would like me to send them to you... best wishes from Rich ;-)
Edit: rounds 7, 8 & 9 have just re-appeared!
Jud (moderator) said on March 6, 2005 19:23:
rounds 7, 8 & 9 have always been there, archived, but have always been there?

rounds 7, 8 & 9 were definitely not visible to me yesterday and earlier today, and now they’re back... ;-)

I didn’t see the archived threads for at least one of the rounds either—I’d logged in Friday and then on Monday and missed a round and wanted to read “the wrap-up”. Most of the time they have been there, but at least once it wasn’t visible for me either.

@ MiracleMan... ^^ my offer to animalkingdom ^^ also applies to you (and anyone else) if you’re still interested :-) All the best, Rich ;-)

Wonder where all the polls go, if they’re not deleted or ’hidden’ or whatever.

They were hidden as at least I thought they were not important anymore. But if you want them we won’t hide them.

I know that the moderators aren’t online all the time, but my preference is for the old survivor poll threads to be archived soon after the results have been announced, so that they don’t find their way to the top again. Just my thoughts. All the best, Rich ;-)

I think I preffered it when they dissappeared..... all that grey colour is rather off putting....

I think there’s no need to save archived ALL the rounds, just the last one or two. We have to much of grey colour of the first page indeed.

I love how people can get colour scheme issues. that as low as it goes.........anyhow..... I’m kidding ;-) oam

I likes me the greys. Prettys up the boards.
Besides I tend to read them once they’ve been archived—especially threads I’ve not really bothered with. Some of the funnist stuff sometimes in the forums.

On a similar topic, I would like to add that I liked it this time how the latest round remained archived for a day before it was deleted. In previous polls the latest round was often removed quickly, so the voting information was not always available.
Thumbs up! Cheers, Rich ;-)
