Live Poll: Remembering Some Great Poll Authors
Since the first poll went live in August 2013 we've had over 470 poll authors, and many of the most prolific authors* are sadly retired or inactive, and haven't made polls in a long time. Together, they have made almost one third of the 11,888 polls so far. To remember these talented authors, here are their names along with their most voted poll. Which poll do you like the most?
*with at least 40 polls, who started making polls before February 2017.

I miss them all, especially albstein and pere... I also miss jalapeno's old-fashioned rants... yes, it's sad that they retired or stop making polls but I think many of them stopped when IMDb shut the message boards, it was truly the end of an era... even I miss the message boards, so much thought and knowledge on every single important film, vanished forever... I miss the 2000s

He is not on the list. But, I can't help thinking about Ed Jones. There is probably no poll maker who was more influential than him in my poll-making "career". I don't think that is a compliment though.
Some of the polls credited to me are more his than mine, he would be so insistent in getting my polls published the way he wanted that often I would give up and make every adjustment he wanted. There are also some polls I did with the sole purpose of annoying him.

This was a tough choice, but I had to go with hb's superhero roommate poll, it's just so funny. :)
I miss many of these authors, especially borimor. I remember how upset he was about the change and it was sad that he refused to join GS. He was a creative author and a nice and funny guy.

This is your old buddy the J-Man (the Jalapenoman). I created an account here to thank all of you for being remembered in this poll.
To catch you up on me... I have had two major and one minor stroke in the past five years and am now basically bedridden. Sounds sad, but I do get to watch a lot of my old movies (that I always loved) and even a few new things. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico and my son and granddaughter are here to take care of me.
Here is a poll suggestion for someone who wants it. I gave it to Dan Dassow a few months ago, but he said that he had problems and wouldn't be around for a while.

I miss them all too. Especially Ed_Jones and Yrnej.
But I think of all possibilities, and there is a big elephant that is not mentioned in the room, a few may have possibly passed away. So I view this poll as a memorandum in case a few did.
