Re: Please respond - how do you use this forum?
I have a look in from time to time throughout the day, as home/work commitments allow.
I tend to keep Active Topics open in a browser tab and refresh it before looking through for any new entries.
I keep an eye on the Notifications and New Messages icons too.
I don't tend to respond to very technical threads as I don't have the level of expertise to input any really useful information that will help anyone.
I like to welcome new members to the Forum, as I think that is important.
I particularly like the Off-Topic thread as this is a way of getting to know members better; e.g. what their other interests are, and what they get up to each day, etc.

Re: Please respond - how do you use this forum?
Can't tell you how many other hobby forums I have joined, and in a months time maybe received less than 4 welcomes
I don't usually stick around those places long.
I tend to think those places are not very active or dying, or just an unfriendly clique
