For people who DON'T USUALLY POST??? Too bad!1. How much time do you spend at Mudcat in an average week?
Way too much! I don't even know. :)
2. What time of day (within your own time zone) does this generally occur?
Anywhen. I don't keep regular hours. I tend to go on mudcat first thing when I turn on the computer, and refresh variously all day, as I am working. But sometimes I go straight to work without going on the net.
3. What time is it now, in your time zone?
1:23 am. (See what I mean?)
4. Are you usually at home or at work when visiting?
Both. But sometimes I'm not working. ;)
5. Are you usually multi-tasking when you visit?
Always. I tend to read more than one page at once, and talk on instant messengers, and work, and...
6. Aside from the music community, what do you enjoy about Mudcat's structure, design, and features?
I find myself wishing for this simple interface when I am at other message boards, and especially when reading newsgroups with text-based newsreaders! Being able to PM is also important, as it helps to get to know people privately as well as publicly, which brings me back more often. The only things I'd change would be to have the option to go back to the thread you posted from when posting instead of to the main listing, auto-formatting of links, and adding a link next to each poster's name on a thread to send them a PM. (Right now, the poster's name links to a search on that name, I would prefer to be able to PM straight from a thread, rather than going through a few pages and forgetting how to spell the name in the meantime.)
