I reckon ignoring the 't' is as bad as pronouncing "than" with an 'e' sound.

I pronounce it both ways, depending on the context.

Like, I would pronounce the T if I said "There are often times when..."
But it would be a silent T if I said "That doesn't happen very often."

i'd guess it's normally like what Aristoph said, but sometimes it's the opposite too, so yeah, random

it's with the T, comes from the word oft. there are lots of words with Ts that just stopped being pronounced for some reason. soften, hasten, glisten, etc
