> > Hail Thee, > > > > My subject line in fact relates to cheesburgers (yes, it does, do read on). Just now I ventured into the "Readors Poll" section of RinkWorks. A fascinating place, especially when looking at the relationship between questions and number of poll participants :-) In there I found the cheesburger poll, especially the one questioning the "toppingness" of the cheese. To share my own confusion locate that poll and click on it. You will see and amazing -41 votes in favour of cheese being a valid cheesburger topping ... How can there be a negative number of voters ??? > > First of all, welcome to the RinkWorks forum, yes it is a strange place but we love it. As for the poll, I'm going to have to say Sam is definately behind that one, as with most things on RinkWorks. Pretty sure it's something about proving that cheese IS NOT a topping. > > illy"Sam is watching you!"andra
Well, I've seen post counts on UBBs go down to negative numbers at times. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it happens. As (someone, I'm too lazy to press the "back" button) said, the number of votes on that poll probably went over some unset limit, therefore reverting to negative numbers. On the UBBs where I've seen them, it's because someone went on a deleting spree. Maybe Sam deleted a bunch of votes..? (If that's possible... but I doubt he'd do that, although I don't know him all that well.)
