Seriously people, stop making yourself look dumb and talk about topics that you have a decent knowledge of.
Anyone who has a character in this server has the chance to vote on these polls, just like any citizen in a democratic society has the chance to vote for its representants.

I'd like to point this out too. So far, i've seen that most of the active members of the forums like to mock and insult people instead of writting a proper argument and try to have a civilized discussion. This same people are deciding the fate of the rest of the server.

I'd like to point out most of my posts are coherent arguments which people resorting to insulting me instead of actually replying with counter arguments. Like you just did.
Why join the winning side if you can change the winner?

Err… Fate of the server =/= Youtube video introduction
But you're partly right, I hardly even play on Truewow anymore and I only post on the forums when I spot something extremely interesting or amusing (eg. people stating that Truewow is an oligarchy).

The subject is not exclusive to this thread, but to every important decisions made with polls.

That wasn't directly at you. But still, you called me stupid and really stupid before giving any argument.

The reason we chose to pick the best intro with a poll where the active (forum) community votes is because you represent the future players.As a target audiance,you should choose the best video intro and not a staff team of 10 players.
Now stay on topic or don't post here at all...

Wrong. An oligarchy is a CLOSE, limited number of persons who rule the others. The forums are OPEN to everyone, even the people that doesnt have a char on TW can make an account and vote for it (for this topic wouldnt be bad at all, would make more precise the statistics ).
We dont rule anything, we express our opinion and vote for it, as everyone else is capable of. The fact that others dont vote while having the possibility to do it makes them sloth, absolutely not ruled by a little group that doesn't let them decide. If you are worried about the limited number of voters go spam some macros in /world and make people see those videos and vote for the one they like most, I'd appreciate that. Be coerent with what you say and inform people that doesnt care about TW's management about this.
