If you're not a member, I encourage you to sign up and get involved. It's the best way to influence the industry you work in. You don't need to be a professional game developer either.I'm wondering if the two rather aggressive Other responses are in reference to all the recent controversy on the IGDA board and such? If that's the case the only way you can fix things is by becoming a member and working at making things better.I have a couple more polls in the queue, but always looking for more. So if you have a poll idea, send it on in!
