Alternatively, I would have a thread for nominating blasters for the poll, and then doing something a little bit smaller as a result. Completely community-led, rather than throwing in all the notable Nerf releases and calling it a day. Thank you. That's exactly what I had in mind. How do we start something like that ? I'd set up an official thread for the topic, and then we let people nominate blasters for... a month or two, however long it takes to mass up a good amount of entrants. Then, it's just a matter of randomizing some stuff for which pools they'd be in, and then starting up the polls on the front page.

This would definitely have a big disclaimer, to make sure that people know it's just for fun and that it's less about comparing the blasters seriously and more about which one you think is better/more fun to use. That kind of thing.

The last thing I want is for people to think that this is some kind of "Nerf Wiki recommended" thing, that this is what the wiki as a whole has decided is the "best" blaster. I mentioned this previously but people used to really take our old review system seriously, and would come in and argue/yell about it... so that's one of my goals from the start, is to make sure it's obvious we're just having some fun with this.
