A Compilation of Official Cyberchase Polls (part 1/?)

Hello all,

While I was digging around in the Wayback Machine for old versions of the Cyberchase website, I was able to dig up some old polls that they put out for Earthlies. There are a few distinct eras of polls that evolved as the website evolved.

The first format features Dr. Marbles and some bar-graph based machine. I was only able to get two of them to load from this area, though the Wayback machine suggests that there are more archived.

The earliest archived instance that I could find was from February 2, 2002.

Who is your favorite Cyberkid?

Inez

Jackie

Matt

Here's one from June 21, 2002.

Why do you think Hacker is so mean?

His hardware is buggy

He's a cyborg

Nobody loves him

He was just born that way

Ouch. This was from the days of the "How It All Started" webcomics, where The Hacker decided to conquer Cyberspace shortly after his birth. So, of course, this poll wasn't going to be sympathetic or nuanced.

This format was changed when the site was updated to use flash. Here's the earliest version that I could load from this era. It was from January 19, 2009.

What is your favorite breakfast?

a) Eggs b) Pancakes c) Oatmeal d) Cereal

We got this one May 8, 2009.

What will you give your mom for Mother's Day?

a) A card and flowers b) Breakfast in bed c) A homemade gift d) Write a poem or story for her

I haven't found a way to access the poll results from the first two eras. The third era of polls claims that 368 different questions were asked. Many of the poll questions have been archived, though not all of them have the answers archived. Here are a few of my favorites.

This one is labelled poll #1, so I suppose it was the first one that they asked. They started off with a bang.

If Hacker accidentally left his wig at your house, what would you do?

a) Throw it in the trash b) Let your pet play with it c) Mail it back to him d) Wear it to school

My first question would be "How on earth did he get into my house?"

This one actually has preserved results.

Throw it in the trash: 125,483 votes 50% Let your pet play with it: 65,779 votes, 26% Mail it back to him: 27,690 votes, 11% Wear it to school: 34,341 votes, 14% Total 253,293 votes, 101% I am amazed that over 250,000 votes were cast. I don't know whether the site had a way to stop people from voting multiple times, however.

Here's poll #166.

Why does Hacker want to rule Cyberspace? a) He needs lots of attention b) He has no hobbies c) He thinks it would be cool d) He likes to be the boss

Unfortunately, this one doesn't appear to have its results preserved.

Here's poll #90.

What's your favorite Jackie show?

a) EcoHaven CSE b) And They Counted Happily Ever c) A Day at the Spa d) Eureeka e) Problem Solving in Shangri-La

The phrasing is interesting on this one. Would you consider these to be "Jackie shows" specifically? The kids all contribute to the problem solutions. I could see an argument for the Shangri-La episode, since she goes away from the others and discovers the poison numbers to win the game of Nim.

EcoHaven CSE: 1,516 votes, 13% And They Counted Happily Ever: 1,595 votes, 12% A Day at the Spa: 5,522 votes, 42% Eureeka: 1,493 votes, 11% Problem Solving in Shangri-La: 2,893 votes, 22% Total: 13,019 votes, 100%

Okay, here's one more.

Should Hacker ever win an episode? a) yes b) no c) only 1 episode!! d) never!! This one is fun to think about. A lot of fans love the shocking ending to the first part of Snelfu Snafu, where The Hacker takes over Cyberspace. Alot of fans also love the Transformatron Arc. While the kids were able to save some Cybersites during that arc, the episodes ended with The Hacker slipping away with another part to his infernal machine.

Unfortunately, this is another one where the results weren't archived.

I may post more of these later. I may even turn some of them into Tumblr polls.

shut.

Hello, I hope you are well. I am reaching out to you today with great concern and sadness😞💔, as my family and I in northern Gaza are facing significant danger due to the ongoing war. I have launched a GoFundMe campaign to save them from hunger and the diseases that are chasing us all and to provide a better future for them. Every reblog of the post on my profile can be a lifeline for my family and help me provide the basic necessities for them and get out of Gaza to a safer and more stable place.🙏 I humbly and gratefully ask you to reblog the post from my profile to support my campaign. Each reblog can make a significant difference in our lives. Thank you very much for your support and kindness.

Dear Friends,

I write to you with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart. After 188 days of displacement, constant fear, and struggling to survive, we managed to escape with our lives and reach Egypt. But the pain didn’t stop there. Just yesterday, we lost my children's grandfather 💔, not due to direct war, but because of malnutrition and the lack of basic life necessities. We couldn’t save him, just as we couldn’t save our home or our dreams.

The rest of my family is still trapped in the war, suffering the same harsh conditions that led to the passing of my children's grandfather. We are here trying to build a new life, but we have lost everything. We lost our home, and my children were deprived of their schools and universities. Even my eldest son, who worked so hard to build his future, lost his job and saw his dreams shattered.😔

We are now in desperate need of your help. We seek to secure a safe home that will provide us and our children with basic needs. Life in Egypt is extremely difficult, and prices are soaring beyond our reach. All we ask for is a chance to rebuild our lives and secure a better future for our children.🙏🏼

From the depths of my heart, I ask you to stand by us in these difficult times. Your support means hope and life to us.🙌🏼🇵🇸
