Well, it's a pity if this is linked to some of the PW forums.
The quantity of responses is so small that even one or two PW teams (and their players) giving a certain kind of response makes a huge impact. [EDIT: This shouldn't be a problem, though, assuming that all sorts of players will find their way here eventually.]
I first thought of linking this to the NWN2 Modules forum, as I know that there are many folks there who rarely read the General forum. But Rob McGinnis wanted to gather some information about who reads this blog (and when), and as the blog updates are given in the General forum, I decided I shouldn't do that.
I'm not saying that the poll cannot provide interesting information (of many kinds), though. And it is interesting to compare the results with the Vault poll (which, by the way, doesn't restrict the "PW response" to PW players - and has lots of responses in the 'waiting for new content' category).
Finally, I think (and I'm pretty sure that everyone agrees) that one cannot draw any straightforwad conclusions about what sorts of news to provide from this sort of poll to the effect that if most play PWs or SP mods, then the news should only be about the PWs or about the SP mods. As an SP mod player, I'm very much interested in any CC news. I'm not personally interested in the details of some scripting stuff, etc., but I'm interested in knowing about what sorts of possibilities have become available for the builders, etc. I'm not interested in the PW presentations as PW presentations, but I may be interested in seeing whta sort of custom content is being used in some PW, and so on. What I'm not interested in, as an enthusiastic SP mod player, is news about recent SP mod releases, say. I'll know those news before they'd become available here. Of course I wouldn't mind some news about some forthcoming stuff, though... And of course this won't apply to all SP mod players. People have different ways of gathering information about what is of interest to them. I'm sure that mod spotlights here would be of great benefit to many players.

In any case, I do hope that the news keep coming!
