Ugh, I knew there would be some dumb response about how "only" 130 people voted in the poll and "only" 70 voted to change.

What would be a pretty bad mistake is to have no idea what a normal sample size in polling is, and try to draw your own conclusions without a basic knowledge of statistics. Using your estimate of 133 people being 5% of the server, that is actually a big enough sample to draw meaningful conclusions. We can say with 95% confidence that somewhere between 44%-60% (52% +/- 8%) of all the players on the server are in favor of a change based on the results of this poll. Facts are fun!

you're the dumbfuck

if you randomly draw 133 from the server, sure. Taking 133 who visits the forum AND clicks into this thread AND votes does not represent shit nor can be considered a valid sample from the population

you are the one without basic knowledge of statistics...dumbass
