Quantcast.com has this to say about UVL:
The site caters to a HH income up to $60k, more male, youthful following.The typical visitor visits mobygames.com, uses wiktionary.org, and buys from freedownloadscenter.com.

$60k is far from what I make. I'm far from youthful. I've probably visited wiktionary.org before, but can't recall it; wiktionary is certainly not a goto resource for me. I've never purchased or even downloaded anything from freedownloadscenter.com; though I recall going their once, only to find out much of their offerings do cost money. About the only notable accuracy is that I visit mobygames.com occasionally; I wouldn't say "typically" though. I am male, but that's true of about 50% of the population so Quantcast.com had a 50/50 change of guessing that.

In a seemingly unrelated incident, uvlist.net was recently suggested to be nothing more than a spam tool on wikipedia (this is the only info wikipedia currently has about UVL). I can't help but wonder where this information originated. What misinformation are marketing geniuses providing about UVL that is not publicly available?

OR, is the Quantcast.com information accurate and I'm just an oddball?

Perhaps Andrea could conduct his own semi-anonymous poll to determine who uses UVL and for what purposes.

About themselves quantcast.com says:
We do not have enough information on Quantcast.com to suggest similar audience sites.

Could be automatic for the most part if users actually had information attached to them besides how they've edited the site or used the four flags in games :)

If I haven't already suggested that, then I've intended in several occasions.

Quantacast is highly unreliable, I could add some javascript code to help it to gather better info. When I did, it slowed down the site.
Time ago it reported that there were more females than males too. Hard to believe.

Can you give a link about UVL in Wikipedia?
"Spam tool" is not exactly what I was aiming to... Damn, sounds quite offensive too.

Sorry it took so long to find these links:
Advanced Poll simple polls (probably any editor can setup, maybe even any user) Supposedly it is now more powerful, but still simple, than it was when I used it last.
phpESP advanced pools (not for any user, possibly not even for all editors)
lime survey very advanced market research type stuff. Multipage and branching. People who complete these surveys should get a prize. But selected editors could be given access to it as it has an extensive admin/user system. Due to its complexity, the forum would not likely be overrun with limesurvey polls.

I have used all three of these for sites I've coded but not with the intent of letting visitors setup the polls so I can't be certain these would do the job. But I did setup limesurvey for use with dozens of users, it worked quite well and I made extensive use of the branching features to limit the victim's, err, the 'consumers' inconvenience of answering many inapplicable questions (ie: if male, then skip all the PMS and cosmetics questions)

I would suggest using Advanced Poll (or a similar simple system) for easy forum polls and also limesurvey for when Andrea or editors he picks want to do very advanced stuff. Like find out if there really are more females than males visiting the site, how much they money they make, what other sites they visit, etc...
