That's what godaddy.freetalklive.com is... but we need to sign up for that directly, because I don't trust the company that is currently the middle man that is supposedly getting us a better deal.

Domain name is big one for me. I plan on buying one as soon as I can find good hosting.

Hostgator is good and reliable.

Also for Johnson, there's an affiliate program - http://www.hostgator.com/affiliates.shtml

Thanks, bookmarked. I am a bit skeptical that they can offer it without terminating your contract if you try to use all bandwidth and space they offer. But I will look. It overtook my bookmarked best servage.net

With all of these demographics polls, is it possible to have the results sorted high to low? It would make it a lot easier to interpret the results.

These are being used to create a media kit document in which I will have to do that manually...

Unfortunately SMF's polls are not designed to be sorted like that... It would be nice, but that's not the way they work.

That's a pretty sweet graph. Also, only on the FTLBBS would they be in that order.

I find it sad that the combo of Weapons and MP3 Players reminds me of Abigail Whistler ....

What if I'm poor and don't plan on buying any of those products in the near future and only food & gas?  Like a "Necessities" option or some such.

When it says we can only pick 31 of the options, does this mean if I agree to take this poll, I have to choose between a rifle, and a cell phone this year?
