I think its partly because of the way this forum is built. Sometimes i do wish for a declutter of the messages. A lot of space is occupied by unnecessary info. Not optimal for phones. Also tree structure for responses would be neat.
The last time I checked, Tapatalk didn't work with it either.

OPUS, because any device I use for music playback supports it, excellent compression that's really fast, sounds great, and is free software.

Hmm... 119 votes so far.
With roughly 3/4 of the year gone, it looks like we're gonna barely reach 2019 levels.

Buth heck, such numbers have been going down since the first of these post-2000s polls:


200+ votes for this year is possible.

Is there way to make this poll sticky on main forum page?

Same question can easily go to you , who has continued  old HA traditional poll despite low number of votes for  last 10+ years.

Sorry, but why care at all then, right?

Questions of attitude is just that ... attitude.

Why taking it to heart?

Mine's easy: where there's a will, there's a way. Yours?
