Fairy Tail isn't that popular on internet forums. This poll is placed on 8 different English forums. 300 votes is an ample number for the results, since you'd need another 500 to say the results even by a single point.

Let's look at Wikipedia, one of the most popular webpages on the internet: 31 million registered users, only a 277,000 are active on a month-to-month basis, probably a lot less on a day-to-day basis. Still, that's 1%: One percent.

Let's assume that there are 500,000 English reading FT fans out there, 1% of that? 5000 fans mostly likely visit forums actively and participate in them -- very generous estimate (as I let the polls run for a week on 8 different forums and got something like 300 votes -- with anonymous voting too).

Next: Fairy Tail's actual popularity on a neutral forum (I'll take Manga Helpers as an example): average number of posts on a new Naruto chapter forum: 700 posts. Fairy Tail forum? 70. Only a fraction.

Anyway, your opinion is moot, the votes have been cast and are more or less the de facto community consensus.
