What is the most favorite hold? I'm a bit bored after finishing Drod 1.6 and need some excitement. I replayed Drod to level 10 but it isn't the same.Actually, I just wanted to get post #100.

Go to the Holds forum and see what people have rated the various holds there. Those are the ones which are completed anyway, so might be more worth your while.

Game on,

You could set up a poll.

That would not be fair.

How so?

Oh yeah..... you mean to the people who lose? (all but one)

And favouritism? The vote-for-yourself kind of thing?

I interpreted it as because there's a limit on the amount of entries in a poll, so some holds would have to be left out. Most of them, in fact.

There is no longer any limit on the number of options in a poll - you can make as many options as you desire.

Oh. Then I'm not sure what the original comment meant.

Which isn't to say I think a poll is a good idea - it's not. I'd have no idea how to choose a single favourite hold; and I don't think it's very helpful to give a poll of this sort since, for one, the people who haven't voted, and presumably need the info, either will have to give up the right to vote in the future or they won't get the result.

Plus, there already is a vote rating system. And I'm assuming the main website will be updated with a hold download page which will show all info in an easily comparable manner (unlike now where you have to jump threads). Lets just wait for that.

That's the plan. I toyed with really customizing the Holds forum to enable this sort of comparison, but decided that should be on the main site, and the forum should remain as-is.

I've given Mattcrampy some skeleton code for querying the database and presenting the information, sortable by pretty much anything. I don't know what his schedule is like, but I'm sure he'll get something out soon enough.
