can we get this.. i use it all the time on vbulletin for e46f and its awesome. itd be great if people could just poll stuff instead of listing what their response is to a thread (example: which skis should i get?)

this would be great

it would eliminate many useless posts of people saying the exact same thing as someone before them too

Like the way you think man. I love this idea. It eliminates all those threads of "what should i get". NS could just make a section of polls for other ns'ers to help people decide which skis to buy and such. There could also be a thread forum below that certain poll for extra advice. Like telling the person certain facts about the skis, or if they're good or what.

very nice idea. I agree it would stop post whoring on at least some threads, mainly in gear talk but it could definitely be cool and way more useful than people posting lolcat pictures in a ski suggestion thread.

This is an excellent idea. But what I want to see first is a well indexed b/s/t.

Instead of posting a thread, you'd fill out a quick form. Criteria could include:

Genre of gear (park skis, pow skis, poles, binders, goggles, hoodies, etc. Everything you can imagine, to simplify it) Instead of filling out a box, you'd select one from a drop down list and it would be categorized so it'd be easier to find.

Check box if it is fs, trade, or wtb. This could also simplify things.

Box for price, so you can order them by price.

Box just like a forum post, where you can enter a description of your gear for sale, and pictures.




One website that has it really figured out is Pinkbike.com. I hate to detract from ridemonkey, guys, (it is also an awesome site) but pinkbike has an absolutely brilliant b/s/t.

yeah if NS's b/s/t was anything like pinkbikes i might actually want to browse b/s/t every once in a while.

Great idea.

And so is the poll idea, I'd love to see either of those.
