As someone who doesn't check their email regularly, one thing I find helpful is marking a game as a favorite. Once you're in your game forum (or any forum), the button that usually says 'Thread Tools' becomes 'Game Tools'. Click that and select 'Add to Favorites'. Now every time you visit the site a list of your games that you marked as Favorites should appear in a panel on the left hand side as well what thread in the game was last posted in, who made the post, and the date and time of the post.

I prefer this over email notifications since I only check my email maybe once a day on weekdays and rarely on weekends, but I do pop into the site regularly while I'm browsing other stuff on the internet.

Great info! This is all a bit overwhelming. I’m sure it becomes fairly routine at some point...as far as mechanics.

Depends on posting rate. I'd say an average is anywhere from 3 to 6 months.

as Ronin said, depends on your posting speed... just under two months is about the fastest I have seen, and up to several years, for people that only post once a month or so.

Do you recommend a new player to play a solo game alongside other games on the site or have them play through the solo game first before moving onto anything else?

Brilliant! Thanks for the advice. I never would have thought to check a setting like that. Good looking out.
