Dude yer a genius =D
The idea is rly awesome, it might just be hard to start it.
Like a great amount of people will actualy download this and use it...
But hell i'm gunna make a poll right now O_o

Maybe it would be fun to conect it to a database and people can just enter polls in and download polls from that database O_o
Becuz else all your contacts would need msn plus and get this add-on too!(my contacts are even too lazy to update msn)

Very nice my friend

Debatable.  I suppose I could implement that...

Well...  they can still vote, but they have to type the command (a help message is displayed for those who don't have script, explaing what to type).

Thanks! 

Pretty good

When I was testing it with a contact who doesn't have the script, I found that the full message wasn't being showed when they answer..

The first one said he hadn't answered and the second one said he'd answered false.

Probably just a polygamy issue (ie. multiple WLM accounts) but I tried sending a poll from one account to the other, both of which have the script, but no window displayed for the account to answer the question in.

My suggestions are:
1. Display instructions to contacts who do not have the script. Confirmed by contact it does.
2. Have a results table/graph.

Ah.  I get round the limitation of changing received messages to something longer by adding a load of spaces to the end.  But if a contact without the script sends a command, they won't add the spaces.    I'll have to think about it.

I'll work on that for the next release. 

Edit: what you said about the question window not appearing with polygamy - I have since tested it with two of my accounts, and I am facing a similar issue.  Polls only seem to get through one way... 

What about a function to send all contacts a link to the program?
Lol it's not rly effective, evryone went like WHUT?

Could do, or I could include the script pack with the script so that it can be sent to requested contacts internally (through /sendfile).

What he means is the way the message looks is it's similar to messenger viruses

Hmm...  I see. 

Ah well, they'll have to trust me.
