| New Poll - Aggregate Sites |
This week's poll deals with a perhaps touchy subject: aggregate sites. Our member kayue was the one who suggested this one. For now, how often do you use them for your manga fix? Notice I'm not making a distinction between which sites. That's perhaps a later poll (big "maybe" there)

Well, if I broke down that last option between people living in the US vs. people who didn't, then perhaps we'd get some more answers? Who knows... |

| New Poll - Manga Magazines |
This week's poll is from our admin lynira. It deals with manga magazines that usually have single chapters of many different series. Could be something like Newtype, Shounen Jump, or Otaku USA (to list some English ones in the US). Or maybe you got some Japanese magazines? Magazines have been on the decline for years now, but hey, what's wrong with a poll about it?

Malcolm Gladwell has stated that you need 10,000 hours to become an expert at something. This equates to about 20 hours a week for 10 years. If you could live forever, you'd have the chance to become an expert at so many things! Or you could take the wildest concoction of drugs without any regrets... |

| New Poll - Mortality |
This week's poll from MewMan is about your choices in mortality. Yes, there's a difference between immortality and invincibility. Or perhaps you'd prefer being a regular person? MewMan originally suggested this poll because Blade of the Immortal had just been completely scanlated.

It was up to your interpretation of the question of whether you'd gain the powers of the world you joined. Still, most would wanna try it out! It would kinda suck though to live as a normal person in a world filled with magic... |

| New Poll - World Transfer |
This week's poll by lovelykitty6669 is a little long-winded, but I'm not quite sure how to shorten it and keep the same meaning. If your favorite manga (or anime, I guess) character from your favorite series appeared in front of you and gave you a chance to live in his/her world, but the catch is that you can never come back to the real world again, would you do it? Post a comment below about which series this happens to be and why you'd do it or not do it!

Less responses than the manga version, but that's to be expected since this is a manga site. However, it still appears that many people safe their fansubs, despite having much larger file sizes than manga. |

| New Poll - Archive Fansubs |
As our member tactics suggested, it's a similar poll as last week's but with anime fansubs. In my case, I actually haven't watched anime in maybe the last 6 years... But I did archive a lot of the shows I did watch back then. Still got all the episodes of Cardcaptor Sakura on CD, 4 episodes per CD (didn't have blank DVDs back then). Awesome manga and anime, by the way, so I would recommend getting it if you don't mind a little old-school stuff.

| New Poll - Archive |
This week's poll is from icassop. Which choice most fits you in terms of your scanlation habits? For myself, I actually used to archive everything I read, but that changed about 6 years ago when I had a hard drive failure that wiped out my collection. After that, I just got cynical and depressed about it, so I never tried to archive a bunch of stuff again. It's now a mix of read then delete or some stuff via online readers.

Wow, pretty close results! 4 of the choices were fairly close together! And coincidentally, most of the books I've read as a kid are in one of those top 4 time periods |
