1. Sometime early 2013 as I recall. I actually would have joined earlier, as I tried to sign up multiple times throughout 2012, but for some reason the site kept refusing my email address or something. Anyway, I was actually never all that interested in the sales numbers themselves, I just liked how much discussion they generated among the community.
2. I'm not as into the general discussion on the forums lately by and large, but I tend to always check this site for gaming news if nothing else. Somebody is always posting about the latest happenings, especially Ryuu in the Xbox thread, so I never stay gone for too long. A lot of the actual forum chatter though...idk, maybe it's just cus I'm getting older, but a lot of what I read from people is just exasperating to the point where I simply don't really wish to engage with them. So often I'll catch myself starting to write a response to somebody/something, and then like halfway through it I'm just like "nah...not worth it."
3. Varies. Usually at least once a day though. As for which section, really I just check to see what's on the hot topics, and other than that I'll visit certain sports threads and the Xbox Empire.
4. I suppose I already answered this basically. I'd say it's poorer, but there's still quite a few people I like so it's not all bad.
5. The fact that there are currently changes/fixes/updates/etc is huge step up from a long period of neglect, so what's not to like about that.
6. Make Rol a mod already
