    Question How many times a day do you log on to XMTS?

    Like most things in my life, I get hooked on something, spend way too much time thinking/obsessing over it and then it cools for me. Of course a few months later I get into it again, but never with the same passion as the first time.

    Luckily for kilt wearers, we get new kilts, accessories, etc and I think that re-lights the fire.

    My question is:

    1) How many times a day/week do you log on to XMTS?

    2) Do you go to Portal to see the latest posts, check posts new since last visit or do you simply go to your profile and check threads you began?

    3) Why do you log on at all?


    My answers are:
    1) About five to ten times a day (when I check in for email.)
    2) Yes, all three, but mostly the portal view of recent posts.
    3) To see if something new is on sale, to see what interesting threads are out there and to be amused by the rabble.


    {Mods} Perhaps a poll question?

    1) 3 times a day on average.
    2) Usually click first on "New Posts" then proceed to traditional, kilts in the media and threads I have subscribed to.
    3) To see what new info has been posted, and see what friends are up to. Also I like to look at photos that people have posted.

    2 per day (before and after internet cruising)
    7 per week (daily)

    "New Posts" then "My Posts" to see what followed mine (now that I've started doing that)

    I don't yet know how long I can leave my account inactive before it is deleted.

    1) depends on the day of the week and/or how hectic the week is, but I pretty much always check in at least once a day. Sometimes I'll visit a dozen times.

    2) I almost always go straight to the "New Posts." Once satisfied I'll mosey around the discussion areas I'm currently interested in and I usually check the recent threads I've posted more to than just a simple "Welcome..." or "Nice kilt, congrats."

    3) Um?
