You have to add one option though. On Xbox Live I'm Dork Honor. Kind of partial to that one.

By request, a poll to select Dark Honor's new name. Select up to three names from the list of all names submitted to the original thread.
The results of the poll are binding.
I will be importing the original thread into this one.

You forgot the scrolling list of the most popular ones!

I agree to use whichever name wins the poll, although I'm a little disappointed that penisbreath wasn't an option. Thyme will be heartbroken.

OK. The thread had been moved into the poll.
Why Dark wanted suggestions from the public is beyond me (most of the names seem pretty deprecating), but I guess this will truly make him a man of the people.
I didn't include that one, "JudgmentalArsehole", or any that would get us in trouble with Proboards.

Halloween's coming - you forgot to add "Dark Horror" to the list. "Dark Horror" was never suggested, as far as I know. Swamp suggested "Dork Horror", and it's up there.

LOL! I think the top 3 names chosen should be scrolling (like it is now) when the poll ends. That is awesome!

So does everyone else in the burbs. We all still pretend we're able to keep up with the Jones'. Don't you know anything?

It might upset people who are sensitive to moving objects on the page. For one day (today), they'll have to put up with it.

I'm one of those "sensitive to moving objects" folks, but the scrolling name thing is fine. The issue isn't the scrolling, it's the repetitive nature of the same image if it scrolls, or if it blinks, flashes or has an undue amount of bling to it. The names are different, so it really would not be considered repetitive. Plus the color of the letters is dark enough (no pun intended) to be pretty inoffensive.

Virgil - Ask them. I think it's the blinking ones that cause medical issues and I get motion sick when things are moving too fast and it doesn't bother me at all! I think Nancy and SL have 2 of the worst issues with seizures so they would be good test subjects. But I'm sure many more would request to have that feature now that I think about it... It's that cool! Woot! Nancy and SL got the bat signal!

Im the other one who has the epliepsy/flashy/blinky problem and the scrolling name change on darks profile right now isn't bothering me either - it's no more animated than the water reflection on my avatar. It's the other bling/blinky type pics that cause issues - especially if large.

That's what I was thinking too. If he does it for me, he's going to get flooded with PM's from others asking for the same thing. Not sure he wants to deal with that.

You could add "Manny" because of the dress forms.

Just leave the scrolling names on his profile til the poll is over - that way you won't have to deal with a ton of requests from people wanting the same thing - tell them it's a temporary one-time deal for the poll.

I'm glad Virgil set it up so I could retract my vote because I voted for my favorite before I read I could select three choices.
POM, I think Dark Matter is my favorite although Dark 3.0 I think will be easiest for most posters to remember who he is.

Can you add Dark Shadows? He is shadowing his wife. Sorry, I jumped in late in the game.
