Postie Pete asks... (08-Oct-2007)

A few of RuneScape's web-based characters have got together and scribbled some questions on the back of Postie Pete's skull. After all, why should the in-game characters get to create all of the polls?

Postie Pete and the poll orcs would be very grateful if you could give your opinions on a number of website functions and updates, as it will help their work immensely.
