Important Information - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

Greetings:

These polls are not considered scientific because no attempt is made to control voting.

Registration is not required, since even the same user can theoretically register under multiple names and skew results. The database does try to keep track of voting to prevent multiple entries from a single user. Just emptying your cookie cache does not let you vote again on the same poll.

Participation in the polls is pretty low when sign-in is forced, because it seems most people do not want to go to the trouble of registering, and that's OK. Think of these polls as more of a "finger in the wind" to see which way it's blowing.

An archive of the past RF Cafe Polls can be found here:
../../miscellany/polls/polls-2008.htm

Thanks for your participation, and be sure to tell you friends to vote.
