Pace is fairly decent, but not impossible to keep up with by any means! A few new posts a day is par, though it gets much faster on the first couple of days of events. In short, fast enough that there's usually something to tag into, but slow enough that you can get away with not checking every day.

Backtagging is pretty awesome even if I have nothing to compare it to. It's the lifeblood of my CR for people in different timezones.

Good luck, anon!
