Me too! I was just feeling tempted to submit a pull request to the [Discourse polls plugin](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/plugins/poll "I say that without any conception of how hard it might be to implement this. It \*seems\* like it would be easy...") to support [approval voting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orybDrUj4vA "CGP Grey is delightfully elucidating about everything he makes videos about"). If you do that you win ALL THE STICKERS.

can’t beelieve there’s no beelieve pun in any of these, but also can’t think of a good one that uses it. “beelieve in yourself” or something like that is too soft for beeminder.

Oh man, I totally thought of “bee the change” the other day. I think it only makes sense for people who already understand beeminder though…

I can no longer see the poll/results.  
Did the poll finish or did a Discourse update kill it?

Oh no, apparently the latter! You know that scene in the South Park movie where Windows blue screens and the military general says “get Bill Gates in here!”… This is me doing that with @codinghorror … We’ll see if it works. (:

(Let me also be a bit more helpful and [bring it up on meta.discourse.org](https://meta.discourse.org/t/poll-polls-broken-after-latest-discourse-update-2015-edition/28487) as well.)

**PS** : I see this is all being discussed here:

[https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-better-poll-feature/28008](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-better-poll-feature/28008)

And if we must we can abandon the old results since the new polls are a million times better. But I can’t reset this poll… It says “polls can’t be edited; talk to a moderator”. It looks like we need to delete and repost the whole topic?

**PPS** : There’s a way to migrate old polls but I’m not sure it’s worth it since the old ones are plurality voting which is super dumb compared to [approval voting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orybDrUj4vA "Delightful CGP Grey video explaining Approval Voting").

Or just rename the thread to ‘Favorite Beeminder Taglines v1’ and post a new topic for the new poll.
