A poll

1. How often do you visit SG?
Continually throughout the day. I'll check my MySG page from once an hour to every 5 minutes. I'm in chat every day that I can get up to a computer and have at least 20 minutes available to me. Usually around half of the time I'm awake.

2. Do you look at the set(s) selected for front page slots?
Occasionally, but no where near as much as I use chat, the groups, or other community-based parts of the site.

3. Do you look at the sets selected for Member Review?
Occasionally, but no where near as much as I use chat, the groups, or other community-based parts of the site. I do, however, look through the sets in member review probably four times as much as I do sets of the day.

4. How many front page sets would you like to see every day?
Depends on how much the models are being paid. Right now every 80 sets that go live is a low-to-mid-paid tech programmers annual salary. At 3 sets per day, that's one programmer that needs to be laid off per month. In my eyes, a better SG site is significantly better than having more sets. There's a lot of really awesome tools that need to be made for the site, and no where near enough tech staff to make them.

5. How many Member Review sets would you like to see every day?
The more the better in my opinion, so long as they're acceptable quality.

6. In order of importance, how do you rank the following areas of SG, from most to least important, when visiting the site?:

Member Review sets
News

7. Would you like SG to keep featuring front page sets?
It's been a centerpeice of SG in the past, I spose there's not much sense in changing that. Might as well just make a new site then.

8. Would you like SG to keep putting up Member Review sets?
Sort of. I'd prefer they be in the hopefuls group like they were before and they axe the "Hopeful" tag.

1. How often do you visit SG?
I usually have it open in a window whenever I have an internet connection available, I check back and forth depending on how active the boards are.
2. Do you look at the set(s) selected for front page slots?
Hardly ever anymore.
3. Do you look at the sets selected for Member Review?
Hardly ever anymore.
4. How many front page sets would you like to see every day?
When I first joined back in 2006, there were three sets a day. With so many SGs and Hopefuls now, I think a higher number of sets per day would increase the odds of an individual member seeing a set or model that they find interesting. SG has a diverse community with many different aesthetic ideals, and I think the sets going up now only speak to a portion of the community. More sets a day would equal more members finding something that suits their tastes.
5. How many Member Review sets would you like to see every day?
I'm less concerned about the number of MR sets as I am the quality of them. I think only sets that meet the minimum photographic standards of a set worthy of being on the front page should ever be posted to MR. That's not to say that they haven't gotten better since MR first started, but I still think there are too many sets going in that are below minimum standards.
6. In order of importance, how do you rank the following areas of SG, from most to least important, when visiting the site?
I'm primarily here for the social aspect of the site anymore.
The order I check things on the site:
My personal home page
Boards
Groups
<When we used to have Friend's Threads, the MY SG page was in this spot, now, it's pretty much worthless to me.>
Friend's Journals
When the boards and groups are dead, and I've read through all my friends' recent journals, then I may be inclined to look at sets, both front page and MR, but if the leader image on a set doesn't catch my eye, then I'm not going to click on it to look at the rest of the set.
7. Would you like SG to keep featuring front page sets?
Yes. I think the SGs should still be the main theme of the site, but as I said, lately I'm not seeing sets that speak to my aesthetic, so if there were more sets per day, I would be more likely to see a set that I liked, and thus more inclined to check the front page.
8. Would you like SG to keep putting up Member Review sets?
Yes. I think it's a good idea in concept, because there have been some sets that I thought that were really great that I felt deserved to be on the front page. In execution, however, I think MR just didn't live up to what I thought it would when the concept was first being mulled around.
9. Do you have any suggestions/opinions on how the current way to display sets could be changed?

1. How often do you visit SG?
Once a day usually, mostly it's at night when I'm winding down.
2. Do you look at the set(s) selected for front page slots?
Yes - though I'm running behind. I'm only up to Bully's 1966 set.
3. Do you look at the sets selected for Member Review?
Only really if I see them plugged in a girl's journal, or if I venture into the Hopefuls Group. It's not a tab I look at really.
4. How many front page sets would you like to see every day?
I'm quite happy with one set a day, but it wouldn't faze me if there was more - like I said before, I've got catching up to do.
5. How many Member Review sets would you like to see every day?
I don't really look at them so it's not a problem for me.

News and interviews used to be a lot higher up for me but I've found since the reshuffle of the front page recently, I'm not looking at them as much. I probably haven't looked at a news article since the reshuffle. They're just not as prominent anymore and with only a limited length of time I can spend on here, I don't go lookin for them - whereas, I used to look at anything I was interested in when they were more prominently featured.
7. Would you like SG to keep featuring front page sets?
Yep!
8. Would you like SG to keep putting up Member Review sets?
The odd member review set is brilliant and I love seeing a great set go up that otherwise wouldn't have gotten the chance. I hate all the dramaz it's caused though.
9. Do you have any suggestions/opinions on how the current way to display sets could be changed?
No, I'm pleased with how it is currently.

9. Not entirely related. I wanted to suggest that the page select buttons that you see at the top and bottom of threads ("Page 1 | 2 | 3 >") also be found at the bottom of blogs. At least on my browser, if I am paging through a blog, I read to the bottom of a lot set of entries and have to scroll all the way back up to the top of the page to flip to the next page.
