Actually, there hasn't been any particular spike in membership enrollment coincident with the polls. The polls themselves were in response to a
significant number of member requests to do some polling. The polls weren't some marketing plot hatched to drive revenue, although it seems no
matter what we do, a set percentage sees it that way.
I in no way meant to infer it was done as a marketing ploy, rather I was thinking that increased enrollment -- ALWAYS good for business -- was a
possible result, a side effect rather than the cause, of people participating in the polls.
I am not part of any 'set' as you call it.
Rather, I have a sales and marketing background and was thinking that increased promotion of the site, through a new vehicle such as these polls,
would increase traffic and subsequently increase profits for ATS. Which, to me, is a GOOD thing, since it ensures the longevity of the site.
