This is not so much related to the poll, but just a possibility of a way to increase traffic.
I think the contests the site has been having lately is great, like for Virtua Tennis or Madworld. But I think that instead of posting on a forum, there should be a way to win things with our vg$. Ideally I would see this working by getting two copies of a game or whatever and having two ways to win. First there would be a time limited blind auction, with who ever bids the most winning the item. This would obviously heavily favor people who contribute a lot and have a lot of vg$. So I think there should also be a way of having a chance to by a entering into a drawing, for example 5vg$ gets you one entrance. This way even people only contribute a little would have a chance to win.
I think this would be a way to get new visitors because people love free stuff, as well as increase the number of people who participate on the website. It would encourage more people to add reviews, post more often etc. I also think the prediction league would get a big boost, because it would be the best way to quickly increase your vg$ total. The increased participation would then enhance the content of the site, and encourage even more people to visit the site.
I don't know how difficult it is to get free things, but I would have to think for example, that a small publisher like Xseed would not have a problem giving a couple of copies of Little King's Story in return for the free advertising/publicity, although it may be very difficult to every get free copies of a game like Modern Warfare 2.
Anyways just my cents, and would be interested in hearing peoples thoughts, or if that idea is not realistic.
