How Often Do You Read/Post the Civ3 Forums
See Title. I check these forums many times a day if I have the opportunity.

Very often. Whenever I check on to Apolyton, which is a few times each day, I tend to come here.

Several times a day, except when I see anything from or about yin26, then I immediately get out of Apolyton before I get sick.

I check Apolyton several times a day, though my posting has waned as we've gotten closer to Civ3 release. The game mechanics are mostly defined for us except for minor details so discussing new ideas is depressing to me, cause it'll only get my hopes up for inclusion in Civ3 when I know that the new ideas can't make it into the game. I want a Civ4 forum, though I know I'll ignore it once Civ3 gets released.

Yeah, I'm down to 2 or 3 times a week for similar reasons. Also my Internet connection is slow, so it takes forever to get in and out of forums or threads... No doubt I'll be back with a vengeance when we actually HAVE the game and can discuss realities rather than speculations!

Oh, many times a day. It is always on in the background when I am at work (civ3 and OT) and when I am having a lazy evenings, and of course, now and again over the weekends...

The results of this post are going to be biased, the people who read posts more often are more likely to see it and thus vote on it, so your results will be skewed towards those who post often. Anyway, I doubt anyone cares, so I won't elaborate.

You're right Rhysie. No one cares

Well I am sure they will have a good look through all the threads and stumble across this one. And if he is feeling particularly energetic, I am sure Mr Lurker will pluck up the energy to vote

I tend to visit most days, but generally only post a couple of times a week, whenever I have something (un)helpful to contribute.

This is inaccurate. I registered for the forums almost a year-and-a-half ago, and was a very limited member of the OT and apolyton general forums. I came back for a while during the presidential elections and posted flaming posts about bush, but that is another story. It was during this short spurt of checking Apolyton that i was introduced to the wonders of civ3, but i didn't post in the forums - i only checked the news. I started posting as soon as i got out of school last year, and minus 8 weeks of summer vacation, have been posting actively on the forums ever since. So you see, my posts on the civ3 forums have definitely been more than one per day ( i'd say more like 5), but my profile only says something like '1.05 per day' or something

And you know that statistics can be deceiving. The point is that his posting comes in bursts. His average leaves the impression that he posts daily when in fact there are long breaks between frenetic postings.

I tend to post 5 or 6 posts once every three or four days so my average isn't very representative of my actual activity either.

I assumed that this thread is about overall Activity, not the activity of Tuesday or the first week of the month or whatever.

Obviously, if he goes away for a few months between 'posting sprees' he isn't as active overall as he is during ones of those sprees.

doctrine:loyalty, not reliability
I'm a loyal apolytoner, but not on a constant reliability. I may be very active every week for a time, and then be off for some weeks. You can't simply rely, for example, on my average number of posts: I virtually posted nothing last winter and for many months ( that's life ). But for now, I visit a few times a day and make 1-3 posts a day. I may be for the long run considering the potential legacy anticipated with the upcoming Civ3 and MoO3.

So with objectivness I voted the second choice only, though actually it's more like a few times a day .

Well I don't post that much, I mostly lurk, and I've only been on the Civ3 boards as of about a month ago or so. Before that I briefly visited the CTP2 forums until they announced they weren't going to patch it anymore. Before that I visited the CTP forums. Yes, CTP was really bad, but it was still based on civ, so I had a strange kind of dissatisfied addiction to the game, knowing that it was a really bad game.

I could never get pass a few turns in the SMAC demo.

Edit: a spelling and grammatical error

Since I am on the Net all day anyway, so I just drop by now and then, maybe posting a few useless comments here and there

I typically visit once a day or so to keep up with the latest civ3 news. Yet I almost never post, for the painfully obvious reasons that y'all already know. I just hope you don't mind us lurkers to much , you know how sensitive they (we) can be

You can bet the lurkers will come out of the walls once they(we) get civ3 installed!

Every two three days. I don't check Apolyton that often either though, but people recognise me here, at least I think they do. You guys know me, right?
