*** POLL ***. Do you logout?

<- Uses solely school comptuers when posting. Thus I log out frequently. On a couple of computers at school that I'm the only one touching (I still teach), I'll let it log in automatically.
 
The only time I've ever "logged out" is when I've formatted my computer or cleared the cache.

Also, I've been tricked by people posting the logout link in their threads, although I don't think you can do this anymore.
 
Yes, I do during lunch or when I am leaving my computer for extended periods of time at work. At home I don't come on often but I don't usally log out when I do.

When I said "you can't do this anymore", I meant that in a "Because the Mods will ban your ass" sense, not a "It can't be done" sense.

Oh well, gotcha. Where are these rules...?
 
I have only logged out twice, both times I was told to by the mods so they could give me a vacation.

EDIT: copied from PM

OK. You have succeeded. Please log off the forums, now, and go somewhere else for a week to detox.

I just remember them handing out a few vacations about a year ago when *everybody* thought it was funny to hide the logout.cfm link as google or something.
 
Nope. Not on any of my machines. If I'm downstairs and log in at my dad's machine, I log out most of the time if I remember to. He doesn't read AT so it's not like not logging out will do any harm or anything. General rule of thumb, though: if it's not my machine, I log out.
