Maddog - the best thing I can suggest - subscribing to the threads you post.
By default - you can change this under your profile link at the top -
http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php?action=profileGo to "Notifications and Email" - you can by default have everything you reply to / start - email you.
Then, if you see a thread you want to follow but not post on, simply click "Notify" at the top of the thread, right under the title.
These 2 things will get you EMAIL - then it's just a matter of keeping the email you use / actively check as the email on your account here. If you've not been using a serious email, I'd suggest switching to such, that way you are in the know when you do get a response!
No lies - this isn't a by the SECOND kinda place for many games. Sometimes it takes days, weeks, even months before you'll get a response - depends on the games, and how we are reaching out to people to get them here. We are looking to make the process more efficent, but still, not always instant gratification.
Keep in mind - on email you only get one response per thread per last you visited - so if a thread is popular and you don't return, or if a thread gets one reply - eitherway, you only get one notification to alert you
