well i mean, if you are using forum spy, then go do something out of the room, come back, and forum spy has stopped.

that's just one example.

but i'm not saying forum spy is a waste......i do use it sometimes
I've only had Forum Spy normally stop from being idle.
 
I thought that was what User CP was for... :p
I still find using thread subscriptions in conjunction with Forum Spy to be more efficient.

New posts is only fast the first time. Forum Spy allows a constant stream of thread updates without the need to refresh the page.

i really don't hit the refresh....i just move on to another forum, and then come back later
 
Multiple tabs- New posts, my posts and whatever else I'm into at that time.

Forum Spy once in a blue moon.
 
Since almost all the images would be in the cache, it'd be pretty quick. I can have up to a hundred tabs open at any one time for MacRumors, using Safari.
 
The real problem with Forum Spy is that, much of the time, the left hand column just says 'mad jew';)

Right now is a pretty good example!
