1-3 times a day;
15 minutes to an hour long visit;
I check sale/wanted, customs, sightings, reviews and general discussion;
I frequent TFW 2005 and Seibertron and check updates at 3rd party sights and online retailers, especially Automaton

1. How often do you visit Cybertron.ca?
- At least once a day, and I usually have a tab open whenever I'm online.

2. How long are your visits to Cybertron.ca?
- I don't remember exactly, but I'd guess that I spend maybe 30 minutes actively reading, maybe 10 posting, and then whatever else.

3. What do you typically do when you visit Cybertron.ca?
- I read threads, mostly relating to general, news & sightings. I only have about 500 posts on here, but I'm not "just" a lurker, and I'm always doing other things when I'm on the computer.

4. Do you visit any other Transformer websites? If so, why?
- TFW. I pretty much visit the off topic, toy, customs, etc, and generally post more on there because it's more active.


... also, you might wanna talk to the staff about this because they'll have access to a slue of stat based things that might help with your project as well. They'll also be a lot less opinion based (where as we're mostly guessing with our answers), so that will definitely be useful even for comparisons.

Scan the TF general discussion board.

I primarily frequent the Allspark boards. I've been going there since way back in the Beast Wars days.


Thank you very much for your help,

Thank you very much for all your answers and other helpful comments. I wish I could do more extensive research on the online Transformers community and Transformers in general - but this is a nice first step.

All the best in your hauls,

1. Almost everyday when I have time.
2. From 5 - 30 minutes a day.
3. Check out the news as priority, and then spend couple minutes at the sighting and general discussion.
4. I also visit TFW2005, but don't have an account there.

Hope that helps.

1.) At least once a day, sometimes more depending on how much free time I have.
2.) Depending on how many new posts there are, between 10 and 30 minutes.
3.) Check out front page news, new posts and at least once a week bump my sales thread.
4.) I check out tfw2005, as some of the front page general news doesn't get reposted here right away, and actionfigurenews.ca because they have news and posts related other things I'm interested in, like Marvel Universe/Legends, Star Wars figures and sales related to such.
