Well, it depends on both how many people we get, and what sort of people they are...
I check it fairly often, since it's the only site I check much, other than romhacking.net at the moment as well. The main thing is that some people here lurk a lot, which means that even though people are online, nobody's posting or responding to previous posts. I respond to nearly every thread and nearly every post that someone makes unless I either have nothing to say (rare) or I'm not online when the post is made (and any subsequent responses).
