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.

But if you really need the job to make a living...

This week's poll was suggested by Sosseres. Does the reputation of a company matter to you when applying for a job? Or do you just really need the money so you'd apply anywhere no matter what? Maybe you really disagree with Amazon's ethics or Google's reach.

I don't own a pet, nor do I want to. I'd rather live near a close friend that has a pet so that I can reap all the benefits of the pet without any responsibility
