1) I go through phases where i'll visit it several times a day and then I don't come back for months and then several times a day, etc.
2) The actual site much less often, I haven't tried a lot but my very first impression of the main site was fear and confusion. I tried to navigate it to find something once and I ended up at the forums and this is sort of just where I reside.
3) Like I said above not really used the main site a whole lot so...N/
4) Sounds interesting if I were to ever make it back to the main site.
5) Always, that's how I do, I go to the forums like, main page thing and I click on actives topics to see whats been going on latly and whatnot.
6) If anything catches my fancy, though I'm a pretty light RP'er and haven't read nearly as much as everyone else so I don't often get involved on account of my complete and udder lostness on most subjects. Seeing as I haven't played anything except 4e or read half the books discussed. But like I said if anything catches my attention that at least interests me I'll have a read, if not reply.
7) I think it is great for anything you would ever need to know about fantasy literature, rp'ing, forgotten realms, or just other schools of nerdy thought from swords to video games and etc. So I give it a 9.

Always a pleasure to hear. And it's nice to see that all the efforts, of both scribes and Moderators, is ensuring a welcome and friendly atmosphere for Realms discussion.

1) Daily. (How often do you visit this forum?)
2) Once a month. More often - lately. (How often do you visit the Candlekeep site itself?)
3) Ever since 4E ruined "my" Realms, yes. See point 4. (Are you interested in any of the actual site updates (as indicated on the sites Home Page))
4) Checking whether someone has written something semi-canonical about the Old Realms, since they are no longer supported by WotC. So a definite yes ... and once I've got more time, I hope to be able to present some of my stuff there too. (Are you interested in fan-created articles on the site as well as official "canon" information?)
5) Not that I am aware of. What is it? (Do you use the "Active Topics" function of the forum?)
6) GF, Running the Realms, Products and the Authors' forums (Do you visit any other forum categories other than this "General Chat" or the ProductsNovels categories?)
7) At this day and age, 9. (How do you rate the site on a scale of 1-10 (1 being Low, 10 being High)) |

The "Active Topics" function simply shows you, as the scribe, which scrolls have had the most activity since your last visit/log-in. |

Now here's me hoping that this is still required 
1) Every day. (How often do you visit this forum?)
2) Lets put it this way: I've been there twice.  (How often do you visit the Candlekeep site itself?)
3) Not really (see no.2) (Are you interested in any of the actual site updates (as indicated on the sites Home Page))
4) Very much yes, I enjoy all of it. (Are you interested in fan-created articles on the site as well as official "canon" information?)
5) Quite often. (Do you use the "Active Topics" function of the forum?)
6) Yes, I visit all of them quite frequently. (Do you visit any other forum categories other than this "General Chat" or the ProductsNovels categories?)
7) I'd rate it at 9. (How do you rate the site on a scale of 1-10 (1 being Low, 10 being High)) |

1) How often do you visit this forum?
3-4 times a week.
2) How often do you visit the Candlekeep site itself?
The same.
3) Are you interested in any of the actual site updates (as indicated on the sites Home Page)
Well, sure.
4) Are you interested in fan-created articles on the site as well as official "canon" information?
Many great features of the worlds were thanks to the dedicated fans of the series, so, certainly, yes
5) Do you use the "Active Topics" function of the forum?
What's that?
6) Do you visit any other forum categories other than this "General Chat" or the ProductsNovels categories?
Yeah! It is fun to learn in ANY ways.
7) How do you rate the site on a scale of 1-10 (1 being Low, 10 being High)
Without questions 10. I haven't been on much sites that would revive such interest in me. |

Simply look to the upper right hand corner of the forum page, and you'll notice a number of link words under the "Candlekeep Forum" identifier. The fourth link reads 'Active Topics.' Upon opening that link, your browser will simply direct you to a page containing links to the most up-to-date posts made in scrolls/threads active here, since your last visit.

Although, it should be noted that the 'count' of posts is usually off and it's better to click on the arrow next to the last poster to see the most recent posts on the thread. And, before it sounds like I'm complaining, I know that it's an issue that is being looked into correcting with CK2 and the Sage is very good about keeping everything updated. Thank you, Sage!  |

7) 10
Seeing as I've been here for a while, I thought my answers could use some updating... and then I looked through them, and honestly the only answers that have changed for me are the first two; my visits to the forum have been sporadic, with long periods of complete absence (due to either work or one big project of my own or another, in every case), and I hardly ever go to the main site page, simply because I have downloaded all of the scribe contributions that interest me, and I feel much the same way as fellow scribe Victor regarding 4E, but my feelings are mostly specific to the 4E Realms. If I weren't spending so much money on Pathfinder, I'd probably pick up the 4E Dark Sun and Eberron settings. With respect to Question 6, then, I would have to say that I now regularly visit almost every category *except* Products/Novels.  |

I know you're entitled to your own opinion, sfdragon. But isn't that rating too low? Like Sage, I'm also curious... |

1) How often do you visit this forum?
may be a bit too soon to answer that one as I've just returned after quite some time, but at the moment it's at least once per day.
2) How often do you visit the Candlekeep site itself?
I use it as a springboard to the forum, so see above.
3) Are you interested in any of the actual site updates (as indicated on the sites Home Page)
Yes. That's also the reason why I bookmarked the Home Page instead of the forum.
4) Are you interested in fan-created articles on the site as well as official "canon" information?
absolutely.
5) Do you use the "Active Topics" function of the forum?
Now that I've learned about it through this questions, I plan to.
6) Do you visit any other forum categories other than this "General Chat" or the ProductsNovels categories?
In fact I think that I may visit the General Chat for the first time. I find the Realmslore subforum most useful and as there is so much I've yet to read I tend to overlook the other subforums.
7) How do you rate the site on a scale of 1-10 (1 being Low, 10 being High)
I love Candlekeep but as I still hope (Am I naive? Who cares!) that the times return when new material can be created (and published) at this site, I'll give it an 8. |

While I'm not sure if you are still looking for replies to this question, as I finally registered with the website, I figured I might as well try.
1) As I've been getting back into learning more about the lore against recently, quite often when searching for information on subjects that pique my interest. A few times a week lately
2) The same as above
3) I suppose they help, but the forums are probably my main reason for being here
4) Sure
5) I haven't as yet .
6) A little, but not often
7) 9 |

1. Since I have discovered it, daily.
2. Two or three times per week.
3. Since joining, I've been regularly delving for information.
4. I'm interested in anything I can use for building my campaign, canon, homebrew, speculation, or even just interesting discussion.
5. It's a quick one-click way to catch the topics of the day and find an interesting discussion.
6. I've been watching scrolls from all over in looking for the lore I wish to draw upon for my campaign and just enjoying sharing ideas with other players.
7. Defer to answer until later as I've only been on the site for not quite two weeks. |

1. Usually multiple times/day.

4. Yes Yes Yes. Many of CKs contributors are outstanding. And I just realized, CK is what Jimmy calls Clark on Smallville.
5. Yes
6. Yes
7. 10. Not only is the content pretty good, but the moderators do a great job here. I've seen promising sites bomb due to poor moderation and CK has outlasted a number of them (but then CK IS Superman). See how I tied that in there?  |
