The poll is to show theirs is a significant interest in Teal. Point proven.
phr0sty, you don't read. Try this calculator if you don't know how people can poll thousands to get info on hundreds of thousands https://www.checkmarket.com/sample-size-calculator/
600 votes out of 1800 or even 3600 is a sample reliable to the 99th percentile with only a 5% margin of error (when it's 70% to 30%.) Fact.
You're left with your "OP is a bad man - no proof needed" and "I define classic, and current status is classic."
Haven't heard much else from opposition besides a lack of understanding of statistics/math. |
Let me put this into terms you might understand. I wanted to find out how many people out of 1800 liked Mexican food in a city where Mexican food is very popular, so I asked 600 of them what their preference was: 445 of them said pizza, 145 of them said Chinese, and only 10 of them said Mexican. Why didn't more people that I interviewed like Mexican food? Because I only asked people outside of Papa Johns and Panda Express.
You can't assume that EVERYONE on Green will come to the forums. Forum users and non forum users are different demographics potentially with different thought patterns, so your confidence level is nowhere near 99%. If everyone on the server was presented with the mandatory poll upon login, you could possibly assume a number that high. You are not good at demographics.
