None....I post all over the place!!! I do tend to stay out of the modding/technical debates though as I'm not a technical person. I have been known to do my fair share to keep OT habitable.
I don't think I subscribe to any either, that used to clog the e-mail box . . . I just float around spreading hate and discontent all over the place . . .
I check out New Posts every day, several times a day. And to make sure I don't miss any replies back to anything I said, I do a search using my own User ID for threads I've replied to in the past couple of weeks.
If there's any threads that contain important info, like DIY threads, I save them as a Favorite.
I auto-subscribe to all threads I reply to... occasionally (every several months) I go through and unsubscribe to threads that don't interest me anymore. But in general, those threads become inactive over time. I do NOT have email notifications turned on. So the value of subscribing is that I can go one place - my user CP - to see a list of all my "active" threads that I've previously posted in that have new activity. This is my primary way of interacting with NAM. Then, when I have time (usually daily), I scan the New Posts to see if there's anything new and interesting I haven't posted in yet. And, very rarely, I actually take the time to browse some forums of interest (like Cabrio talk) for anything I may have missed when traveling, etc.
I'm currently subscribed to 1,213 threads!
But typically when I pull up the user CP, maybe somewhere between 3 and 12 of those actually have new activity. So it's a very efficient way to stay on top of stuff I'm interested in, IMHO. And if someone posts in an OLD thread which I've previously contributed to, it immediately jumps back to my attention in the CP....
Maybe I'm doing something wrong... but for me, the RSS feed is useless from NAM... because it only shows new threads, not new posts, and it's unfiltered...

I automatically subscribe to every thread I post in (1,998 threads so far). I also have e-mail notifications turned on, but only a small fraction of the subscribed threads are still active, and no matter how much activity there is in a thread, only the first new post generates an e-mail notification, so it doesn't clog up my mailbox too much.
Interesting feedback -- thanks. I noticed that it's mostly Alliance or 6th gear folks answering -- I wonder at what point people learn to tap into them.
Mine, BTW, are a mix, when it comes to notification. Mostly, they're off -- they were on more of the time when I could hit NAM at lunch at work. Not so, any more, so notices do little for me. I do, though, go straight to my subscribed threats -- it's what I have book marked. And I do use the RSS, to see new posts (thaaaat still works at the office!)
