Sorry for the cliche title but I didn't feel like making up anything clever. I'm just curious to see how many people on Gamespot actually use the Everybody Votes Channel. I personally think it's a neat feature for something that's free. I answer just about every question. Currently my accuracy rate for predictions is 75% after 103 polls. :)

It's on my Wii but I never bother to use it.

I used it first but now I dont.

Although I hate to admit it, I do use this channel (as useless as it is). It only takes a few minutes a week to vote in every poll and it's fun to try and improve your accuracy ranking.

I'll check it every once and a while, but not usually. I wish some of the polls were more interesting, or were actually about video games.

The polls are just random questions. The point is to see what other people voted in the end. The questions, 99% of the time have nothing to do with nintendo or the wii.

I used to use it, but now I realize that it is pretty lame. I'm sure most people lie on there anyway.

I remember when there was a question like "If a cardboard cutout display in a store was knocked over, would you pick it up?" and everybody would actually just walk past it, but for some reason like 70% of the people said they would pick it up. When's the last time you saw somebody do anything like that? NEVER! That's when! So I stopped using it after I found out that everybody is a liar cause I knew it was pointless.

I did it a lot for a few weeks after it first released, now I only go back occasionally. It has pretty catchy music. :P

Oh it was a looong time ago. Or at least it seemed like it. It was probably a month or less after it launched.

Oh well I didn't have mine online yet so I missed that one. I really haven't seen any other ones like that one where it was blatantly obvious that people lied

Me neither, but it still happened and I tend to hold grudges against video games :lol:

Even though it's not really a game...you get the idea.

It is the most annoying and useless excuse for a channel. With that being said, I check it every once in a while because I get bored.

159-83 making a 65.7% record

I've always thought it was a neat idea, which is why it's so important in the Everyone's Nintendo Channel.

I think I'm at 70.9% accuracy and 9.4m away from the house (I still don't know where that stat comes from). I use it only if I go to the Wii menu after a gaming session - happens when I decide to play another game.

EXACTLY. All the questions are ridiculously lame, which gives you zero incentive to participate because you could care less about the outcomes. Then again I could never come up with any questions that would apply to an entire console's userbase that are any better than the lame ones that actually get asked.

It has been a while since I last used it. I think they should ask some more productive questions like about VC releases or games we would like to see on the Wii. But that will never happen.

I voted for a while when I first got my Wii but as soon as Wiiware was launched I got rid of all the useless crapp off my Wii to save memory.
