BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / MEMBERS POLL: Male or Female?

**Posted by Dramagod** June 15, 2012 11:16 pm

Thanks Davina. When I first joined this lovely forum all those hours ago I was so excited to join the discussion I didn't choose the username I usually choose on every other message board. And then when I realised vaste majority of users here are girls, I thought IdigN1 isn't a name that attracts girls. So basically Clark Kent became Superman. If you see a Dramagod somewhere out there in the wild, don't be shy. Come and say hello.

I already had an idea we were in majority with the Cumberbatch forum, but not that much.
Well, that's all I had to say, I'll let Dramagod continue his dating.

**Posted by Dramagod** June 15, 2012 11:46 pm

I'm not dating. I'm merely contemplating.

You mean 'spending a penny'?

Errrmm, "spending a penny" means going to the toilet. In older days (1800's) there were coin slots on the doors to toilet cubicles.

O__O

anyway.
I feel like there should be a poll about where everyone's from. Although, I'm not sure.. I mean, we can't list all the countries.
But maybe just like North America, Europe (maybe an extra one for UK!), Australia etc... ?

There should be one for Scandinavia (includes Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark). There you'd get four birds with one stone.

Hm, yes, that's a good idea!
I guess you can summarize Africa as one category and Asia as well, as I think we don't have members from there yet, do we?
How else could you categorize Europe?

YYou are quite welcome to make a poll if you like.
All members can make polls; saves the staff having to do them.

Well, Benelux countries contain The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg. What's the maximum amount of options in a poll?

**Posted by kazza474** June 16, 2012 1:09 am

I dunno; go make one & find out.

**Posted by Dramagod** June 16, 2012 1:15 am

Yeah Sammy, make one.

Ha! Very clever, very clever indeed...

Should I? Hm, alright, I could try. Although I probably forget important countries.. :/

Edit:
I just checked, the answer is: 30.
To what question? To the question how many answers you can give.

Okay, I will make one tomorrow if no one else wants to since I think that's pretty interesting.. but tomorrow, because I think I will probably need some time to figure out what answers to give and it's way too late. (You don't even want to know..)

Oh, but I'd really like to know specific countries if people don't mind telling.

And what I thought about the knee pennies was about right. It's a little more refined than the expression I'm used to, although the one I'm thinking off just means that someone makes you hot, not that you're necessarily going to do anything about it.

huh? I voted in the poll. Sherlock is a MALE, that's why there's more females here. But I am glad that there are guys here too....Sherlock is for EVERYONE. that's what I think.

**Posted by sherlockskitty** June 16, 2012 5:17 am

I've voted in the gender and age poll...wasn't sure I'd do either since I'm private, and I don't considerthis fanboard like a DATING board either. Darn it.

I like the phrase 'Now the penny drops' that means that I've just realized something important.

**Posted by Davina** June 16, 2012 7:33 am

Yes, that was my little witicism for the day!

Since you replied quoting (sort of) my favorite sitcom, you just made it to the list, Irene.

26 girls and only 3 boys? Didn't see that coming.

It's my all-time favorite sitcom too. I rewatched the ten seasons recently and ir doesn't matter how many times you do, it's still fresh and terribly funny.

By the way, please, please, please, can you tell me how did you change your username? I would love to get rid of the stupid hyphen I put between the two words of mine...
