You mean the poll? Shotrocket6 10:27, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah Maxwell123 10:34, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

I agree. It didn't come with the new main page layout. 12:09, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

Is it really that necessary? It wasn't vitally important and it's not really needed. 12:12, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think it was still fun and is related to CoD. We don't need FA or Call of Duty: What is it? either, but they're still there to make this place better. 12:14, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

Nice to know some statistics from the community and visitors, for example: what's your favorite kit/weapon or anything related to Call of Duty. Maxwell123 15:09, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

If it were ever to return, it could not be a "monthly" poll. It has never been that for a long time and to be honest it was barely changed. Asides from that it leaves more space on the main page for other sings such as extra blog space. The front page looks cleaner without. TheDocRichtofen (  Talk  ) 16:23, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

All it really was was a space waster. As the page is now, it looks appealing and only has shows the needed things, such as the improvement drive and user of the month. I myself never really voted in the poll, nor did I see it used for much. Whilst it was good fun, that's all it was, and I think that getting rid of it for the extra space for more important details was the correct decision. 16:34, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

 * Yeah me and the nub above put polls in out weekly news segments anyways, the monthly poll isn't really needed anymore. 17:07, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

We have polls in the portals which really need to be updated 17:12, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

I too liked the poll. The new layout in my opinion is a bit too boxy. Besides, its unaligned (in monobook) anyway, so no reason not to add the poll if aesthetics is the concern. 20:42, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

Don't bring back the poll, the community news blogs fill a similar role, and are more varied and constant. 02:03, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * The difference being that polls on the community blogs are meant for humor, not a legitimate poll asking thimgs like "What is your favorite Zombies map?" 02:33, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * you say that as if it's impossible to make them about Call of Duty, or better yet, add a second poll. 02:38, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

I believe it should come back. It was entertaining and I personally think(it's just an assumation) that it brought a lot more attention to the wiki. 02:16, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

I dont see the use in the poll returning. It wasnt used very often and I doubt it brings attention to the Wiki, CODE. Qw3rty! 02:36, March 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Note, I said I was assuming. + Please sign your posts with 4 tides, or "~", or your signature. 02:24, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mustve forgotten. And its not really true as if its true that several million people view the website, and only a couple hundred or so actually use the poll, its not really attracting people, even if its an assumption. We get attention from things like news and DLC and new games and stuff like that. Qw3rty! 02:36, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

If you want to make a monthly poll, just do it in your user blog. No one's going to stop you. 02:34, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
