Looking for the old results?
Do you want to express your opinion about the undernet servers? The opers? X and W? Which is the best? Which is the worst? Do you think you know the rules of the Undernet and how it operates? Test your knowledge! This site and survey is not sponsored by any official organization, and is meant to generate some fun, nothing more. So let us know what you think! If the oper or server you wish to vote for is not listed, or if you think of a good poll question, please use the Chat option that becomes available after you vote, and they will be added.

Now on to our new section; we are interested in the demographics of our undernet users. There has been much speculation about the demographics and habits of our users, thus these questions. We will post the overall stats once we obtain enough responses for meaningful charts. Note: Percentages were used in some of the following questions so that estimating/rough guessing would be easier. Just make rough guesses and we will be happy :-) What is your sex? (No rough guesses permitted on this question :P)
