Please leave a comment to the questions below or simply submit your vote on the poll “Do you visit Buddhist forum sites?” to the right-hand side of the blog.
Do you use Buddhist forums? If so, why and, if you had a say in how they were run, how would you change them. If you make a comment please don’t use the names of any forums in your comment, as I don’t want to cause any discontent with the owners.

What I am trying to garner here is…

1: Is there room for another Buddhist forum?
2: If so, is there a method to improve them?
3: Is it a feeling of community that is the ingredient to a successful site?

I have been thinking for some time about starting a Buddhist forum. But as there are already successful forums out there it could be just a waste of time. Hence the questions.

Have your say below!

Result: How many hours per week do you spend reading or studying Buddhism?

All up there were 60 votes cast and the result show that most people 37% or 22 voter study between 1-5 hours per week. This is pretty good I feel…but come on you can do better!

• Less than 1
  5 8% of all votes
• 1-5 hrs
  22 37% of all votes
• 5-10 hrs
  16 27% of all votes
• 10-20 hrs
  11 18% of all votes
• 20+

Sorry no pretty pie graphic for this poll.

I have left this poll up longer than I had expected. In the end there was only 23 votes.
I’m not sure if that means only 23 of you meditate or that many of you didn’t know the poll was there to participate in. Either way here are the results.

Less than 1 = 15%
1-5              = 42%
10-20          = 15%
20+             = 8%

The next poll is up, and can be located on the right hand side of the blog , about half way down.
The question for this poll is how many hours per week do you spend reading or studying Buddhism?

I’ve just added a polling widget/plugin on the blog. It’s on the sidebar just under the sponsors box.

The first poll we are conducting is how long have you been a Buddhist?

I will run the poll for a while and then post about the finding with nice little graphs.
If you have any poll questions you think we should run let me know.

Ok what are going waiting for…go vote!
