This poll was remotely suggested by ShadowSakura. If you don't know your sign, go look it up! Google is your best friend. (And no "I don't know" option because I don't want lazy answers.) I'm predicting fairly evenly distributed answers.

This fun little poll was suggested by scottishmanga. Pretty self-explanatory in my opinion. You are what you eat. No forum thread for this one. By the way, I could really use some all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ right now...

Wow, more whites than Asians. I was kinda thinking it'd turn out the other way...
This is my own poll on what you most consider yourself in terms of ancestry. Unfortunately, the way polls are done makes an option of "Mixed" very challenging to get any good results, so I left that option out on purpose. Make due with what you got. No need for a forum thread on this poll.

Hanashi just put out their last release and announce that they are closing due to no translator anymore.
The following is taken from a blog post by Pure Scans
Pure Scans is closed due to conflicts of opinion. All series are dropped. If my word means anything at all, please obey the following:
opposed will do Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
Shinnen & Be With You Scans will continue Peony Pavilion
Be With You Scans will continue Otome Youkai Zakuro and No One Knows
kono-basho should take over Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge
Maigo Scans will likely take over Wa! (KOJIMA Akira)
Itadakimasu~ will continue Zombie Romanticism

In the usual interpretation of this question, it means that there's more optimistic people than pessimistic. Still a lot of the pessimists though...
