In Western society, pink is a more feminine colour. Blue has gotten more gender neutral, but pink still has girly connotations associated with it whether you like it or not. Thank god pink isn't winning this time so far. \o/ It's a great colour (tied for my favourite, guys), but it WILL deter people from donating. People have said "I wouldn't have donated if the colour was pink when I did" and these are people who donated upwards of $15. For every person who comes out at says that, there are plenty more who would silently just hate the colour and not give their support to PC because of it.
There's a point being brought up that people could donate and then just not take the colour. Hell, I did it way back until we got purple. But you know what? People tend to donate for the colour. I even donated with the thought "if I ever leave staff, I still want a colour" in the back of my mind. :[
Anyway, my opinions and whining aside aside:
The poll will probably close in 3 weeks.
I just wanted to get it up because I promised to post it on the 1st and then real life got in the way. <_<; So I didn't get as far as to put up a closing date, but let's tentatively go for the 26th of September? That should be enough time for even some of the inactive supporters to see this. :/ Any problems with that?(Anyone can give feedback on this date. XD I don't really care when it ends but I just want to give everyone enough time.)
To the people voting without being supporters.
...dude, guys, it says right in the poll. "What colour would you prefer? *** ONLY SUPPORTERS MAY VOTE" I can understand jumping the gun on reading the post because the poll has to be at the top before you even see the post but... but that's why the poll repeats that it's for supporters only. Ugh, I'm not so much mad as I am disappointed. READ THINGS BEFORE YOU VOTE. ALWAYS. >:| I dunno what else to do to deter people from doing this. Should I add "COMMUNITY SUPPORTERS ONLY" next to all the poll options or something? Honestly. D: (Please don't PM me, reply to this, or whatever to apologize if you feel bad. What's done is done and I don't wanna hear about it. <_<)
