I propose a suggestion of pre-writing err.. 52? polls (1 year) along with the answers and save them in a database. Then a cron could update the site every week.

Weekly Polls
It seems these often don't get updated every week.

So, why not start a topic, asking the members for poll titles they'd like to see, along with 4-8 possible answers for each. Gather a good amount of them. Save them in a table. Make a simple script. Put it on a weekly cronjob.

Everyone could be sparky.

I like the idea of letting users suggest polls. How about once a month we make a sticky in here and we collect ideas to use for next month's polls?
Currently the routine is this:
One of us realizes the weekly poll is out of date and quickly asks for ideas from the other mods.
One or two people post and idea or two (but never more
) and then modify the options a little.
Belated weekly poll posted here...
I'm quite happy to have that change since with a small moderator team it's only going to be a matter of time before ideas dry out
