Kagi's activeness on this site is so rare (at least, in appearance since he doens't edit) that it almost seems like trying to leave a message for him would be pointless.

However, I DO see why Kagi is upset about this, and he has every right to be. I think I'd be upset too, if I were in his shoes. But, he kinda does have a bit of a habit of picking the same users again and again. I mean, Smash is on the poll for the, what, fourth or fifth time now? Don't get me wrong, Smash's hard work makes it so that he deserves to be on there, but shouldn't there be a limit to how many times one user can be on the poll? And some users on here who are also deserving to be on there have only shown up once (and maybe not even at all) during the past few years (I think?).

Though, I agree that if he's the main person constructing these polls and interviews, and Mantis and Minato are only backups if he can't follow through with the interview, that he doesn't really need to discuss who should be put on the poll. However, I also think that the list of users who have shown up on the poll is rather.... stale. Repeated.

From what I have read on the Wiki's main page, there are nearly 200 active users (though I think that number isn't at all accurate.. .w.) Nevertheless, more diversity for who gets on the poll should be considered. Here's a thought, maybe Kagi could open up a blog or forum where the wiki can suggest users for the next upcoming poll? That sounds like a good compromise to me, and it should get a wider variety of users on the poll.

P.S. Kagi, if you're reading this, could you remove my name from this month's poll? Don't ask why, I just have my reasons. Thanks.

EDIT: Almost forgot about this, but I do NOT vote in favor of removing Kagi from his position. Perhaps the suggestion I left above in bold print might help at least curb this type of issue from occuring again? I agree with this, I rarely paid attention to Featured User because all the people were already there at one point, and I didn't even know I was on Featured User that one time until HS said I was winning.
