<- why the hell?
If you put No, why are you surprised people actually vote for it. And there is honestly no value in such a forum poll, since you have no idea if the votes are genuine or just trolls. There is too few people to make the result an actual representation of majority's opinion. The only time it has some kind of value is when there is no negative option, but all are options which result in a positive/similar result. For example maplist votes, it's not prefect since there still can be trolls, but it's probably the closes you get to a genuine result.
And pretty much what webhead said, 90% of people who actually play the game aren't on the forums/don't care for it.
I would add one more thing to webhead's suggestion: Get on skype and talk to known players if they would come back to play this etc. I can give you quite a few skype contacts if you are interested (my skype:prozajik). Skype was most commonly used by PB players to setup matches alongside irc (I would still say skype was/is bigger last 2 years) (EDIT:In EU).
