[QUOTE="Jeff Strong, post: 32857, member: 3"] [B]1.) We asked you in the past if Farsight would ever consider allowing the fans to vote on table releases, and, since you said it was in the plans, let's take it one step further: would it be possible to have a poll on the TPA Fans Forum for voting on unlicensed tables for future release? It seems like it would be a great way to involve and expand the community.[/B] [I]Bobby: "We love this idea!
