I guess there's hope for some of us to not be glued to our phones
This week's poll is also from lollylopmr. How often are you near the ball and chain of your cell phone? Is it tethered to your mind? (Although technically how often you use your phone is a different question)

Now I wonder how often people delete entries on your browser history to hide something...
This week's poll was suggested by our user lollylopmr. How often do your clear your browser's history and/or cookies? I don't think I ever clear them. (This is not asking about the cache.) I also find it really annoying when sites automatically log you out of them when you don't want them to

You people with 5000+ chapters need to touch some grass
This week's poll is about bragging rights, and it was suggested by articowl. Who reads the most? Definitely not me. I probably only read like 20 chapters a month.

Pretty even split between male vs. female, so it probably doesn't matter too much
We got another poll idea from Nyxsha. This one has to do with a romance and which perspective you view it from

I'm surprised how so many of you have been here since the beginning. I also suspect that people remember that they've been around either 10 or 15 years since those are multiples of 5, even if they haven't been around that long

I really cannot understand adults who need a night light
This week's poll was suggested by VawX. Is there a light on when you normally sleep? To be honest, I can't imagine trying to sleep with a light on anymore. It's hard for me to sleep without complete darkness now.
