[edit] 2008 Miniclip USA Election Poll

Miniclip is running what may be the largest USA 2008 Election Poll; it has collected over 45 million votes. The poll is located in the Miniclip Presidential Paintball game.

[edit] Forums

Most new releases are given their own sub forum where players can share tips and offer help to other players. In some cases, game developers (noted with a bold blue name) will aid in assisting the players. Forums designated for specific games that do not receive active posts for longer than two months are deleted, and discussion moves to the category "Other Miniclip Games".

The forums is host to much, users who have proven themselves through the forums or personal accounts can even apply to become Beta testers for Miniclip testing a large variety of games.

Like most other forums, Miniclip also houses general discussion forums where users can chat about music, movies, video games, and sports, hold a debate, share and critique artwork, or tell a joke. Making sure the forums are problem free is a dedicated staff of moderators (noted with a bold orange name) that quickly respond to reports and violations. Overseeing the entire forum is a staff of administrators (noted with a bold green name), employees of the Miniclip company. There is also a separate forum devoted entirely to Miniclip's most popular game, Club Penguin.

[edit] Players
