Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Based on the question, the "classic green site trope" has to be Cowboy Neal. It is the only trope that really belongs to the green site. The rest are all memes that either arose independent of Slashdot (hot grits, the Russian Reversal, Frikkin' laser beams, and insensitive clod), were a part of general Internet culture (Beowulf cluster, Netcraft confirms it, and can it run Linux). But good ole Cowboy Neal? That is pure Slashdot and only Slashdot. Other memes may have been used there, maybe even more than at other sites. But Cowboy Neal is the only one on that list that is truly and only home at Slashdot.

Well I, for one, welcome our new poll-ish overlords.

I don't know what you're talking about, I hardly remember the green site, haven’t been there since this site exists.
