Voting options for future collection polls

[DELTAprime]

19% of collectors surveyed have collections numbering 1000 or more.

That means that 81% have less than 1000 and looks like over 75% have 500 or less. More people have smaller collections. If you really want to increase the limit then maybe try something like.

100 / 200 / 300 / 400 / 500 / 750 / 1000 / 1250 / 1500 / 2000

First of all, I've stopped doing the annual collection count survey poll since 2011. Pretty much other boards aren't interested in participating any more, unless we wanna still do it just for OTCA. <shrugs>

Secondly, even if we wanted to continue this project, changing the increments would render the results incomparable with previous years. The results that I showed you in my last posted represents the average of results gathered between the years of 2007 to 2011. If we were to conduct a poll this month for 2013 and we used the increments that you're suggesting then I would be unable to include results for anything above 500 into that of previous years.

But don't forget that from 2009 to 2011 we did have secondary polls for people with collections number 100 or less and 1000 and over - represented thusly:

5500 TF? Wow...
You'd need a hangar to store it all

Noone voted above 3500, but I just put that option there because in the future we could very well have collections that large. In 1985 I thought owning 50 Transformers was already a big accomplishment - the idea of owning hundreds or thousands would've been inconceivable.

We're gonna need Tardises to store our collections one day.

In that case there is no need to change the poll. Just do a secondary poll like you have done in the past for people over 1000.
