I post when I feel I'd like to contribute. Sometimes its because I have a strong opinion, sometimes I'm knowledgeable of the subject in question or sometimes I just want to put my two cents in. I normally check in everyday, though that doesn't mean I'll post everyday. A lot of my time on the Escapist is spent reading the thread topics (too see if anything catches my eye) or reading reviews that other Escapists have written (I like to think that they took the time to play the game and write the review, so the least I can do is to read it).
