That's correct, but on the other hand, is there reason to think that this is NOT a representative site, and that if you went to some site that is better known and ran the same poll, CoH would not score high? It may not be a big sign, but just the fact that it's showing CoH as rating higher than WoW, on a site that's not specifically affiliated with the superhero genre, implies that CoH would rate highly on many different gaming sites, and for a game that's 3 years in the grave going against the champion, that's seriously impressive.
I don't generally think that you wouldn't get similar results on some other site. I was more thinking about the prestige of the site itself. The reason being, regardless of the level of support shown, if people in the actual industry, don't use that that site, or consider them a somewhat authoritative source, then those same industry people that might be interested in supporting a CoH rebirth, are unlikely to even see the poll in the first place.
Like I said, I know nothing about that site other than what shows up on their About Us page. I don't think of myself as any kind of authority, but I do spend a good amount of time on gaming type sites, and I don't recall ever really hearing of them. Not that no one references them, just that I don't recall them. Looking at their about s page, they do appear to be referenced by a lot of large companies, but I didn't see much that was directly related to MMOs.
I just think that we are a somewhat isolated group. I mean, we tend to look for references to the game. That means that no matter how obscure the location, we are likely to find references to the game. Possible investors etc, aren't quite as likely to see something like this poll and even realize what they are seeing, or that it is indicating a "thriving" community. You know what I mean?
