Yes, but only when I see something somewhere else (e.g. Usenet, Twitter)
telling me to. I don't have time to visit every web site on earth every
day on the offchance it MAY have something interesting to me!!!

Unfortunately, I may not be alone in finding ROOL's web site a little
impenetrable - particularly the forums - where I seem to have to wade
through lots of fat to find the meat, as threading seems vague. Therefore
I tend not to because it takes so much time. As it gets bigger, it gets
no better. 

So no, I don't visit ROOL's site as often as I perhaps should, instead
relying on 'push' notifications. I am sure developers with their fingers
in the pie (or pi) are there all the time and find it warm and cuddly,
but users? No. I think we only visit when we're 'told' to.
