This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. Some people value a single human life at $10 million USD. What are your thoughts on that?

Sleeping and waking up is kinda boring in a story, but I guess it's a less painful way to go

This week's poll was suggested by F_J. What's your preferred method of getting sent to another world?

Too bad Nintendo is notoriously bad about handling Smash tournaments

This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. Imagine the Olympics had a video game category. What would you want them to compete in? I realize that not every category is an option in the poll, such as strategy. I was just thinking it would be cool if people from each country played as their own country in a massive Europa Universalis IV game (although it would be pretty unfair)

I'm actually surprised that so many people so yes. Thought it'd be a lot less...

This week's poll was suggested by Midlife_otaku, although I changed it up a little. Has winning an award ever influenced you in whether you read a series or not? Maybe it was the reason you even heard of the series in the first place.

Of course people want to talk about what they like! Or complain about things they don't like

This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. Does a comments section for a series yield value to the community? We've actually thought about this for a while. Did you know that currently every single series has its own forum? Go to any series page and look for the "Forum" field

Who the heck still uses Internet Explorer... I wonder what would happen if Netscape was an option

It's been almost a decade since we last asked this question, so Afiaki proposed that we ask it again.
