RSS doesn't count. I've been subscribing to the feed for over three months, but I haven't had a substantional rise in the ammount of time I'm logged on.

Total time logged in: 29 days, 23 hours and 14 minutes.

I assure you that it did count, Joe.  If you this statistic:

Total Time Spent Online:     221 days, 12 hours and 59 minutes.

is legitimate, then you're even more naive than I had originally thought.

No, because Joe's settings isn't refreshing as often as yours. (Possibly 30 minutes per refresh, which is considered good etiquette.)

And yes, male both ends.  There are a couple lesbians that need a two-ended dildo...My router just refuses to wear a strap-on.

It wouldn't make as significant a difference as you're making it out to be.  SMF keeps you marked as "online" after 15 minutes of your last action.  My refresh time was 5 minutes, which doesn't seem rude to me at all, especially considering the circumstances (I don't think iago would mind someone requesting a 3 KB XML file every 5 minutes...).

It's good etiquette in general. I'm sure that some small site serving ~2,000 people would not want half of them requesting a 3 kb file every 5 minutes. Which would be 843.75 MB of bandwidth used just for a feed.

Did you miss the part where I said "especially considering the circumstances?"  I'm not an idiot.  I was subscribed to other newsfeeds, including Slashdot and CNet, both of which were updated every three hours.

These are low traffic forums.  iago was aware of my XML subscription.  If he had a problem with it, he would have informed me.  I'd be shocked if you seriously thought it was rude to request a tiny XML file every five minutes.  I'd wager it uses less bandwidth then refreshing the forum page every hour, which is what I'd do otherwise.

I have my x86 feed set to every 5 minutes, as well. The first thread I have in there was "Re: I thought of Joe" on 10/1/06 at 1:30ish AM. So, that alone would account for my ~month of surfing x86, and then some.

@Sidoh: I'm not naive about your logged in time, but I'll have to say that I'm at least sure that it's not treating you the same as me.

EDIT -
What XML feed URL and client are you using? I'm using this and Mozilla Thunderbird.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I was (presumably) using the same feed with Opera.  It shouldn't make a difference.  I'd attribute it to the RC3 upgrade, but I'm still not sure.
