I usually have this site up whenever I'm doing something on my computer and respond to posts now and then, but I don't usually spend more than an hour actually browsing the site.

An hour a day is usually split between checking e-mail, this site (and all related sites), webcomics, and my Go games.

Far too long.

I average about 3 hours on the boards whilst at home (more on the weekend, less if I'm at work), and try to log on during college as well.

I don't know why...

Depends. Do you compress it - ie every second spent on the boards counted together - or do you count "checking every 10 minutes or so" as "on the boards"? Also, do the feed aggregators count?

If the former (and aggregators don't count), it comes to a bit over an hour on average, probably. Two hours on really big days.

If the latter, then I'm active the majority of the time I am conscious and sitting at a computer with internet access. Sounds sad, but I don't feel that awful about it.

1-2 on weekdays, 2-3 on weekends. Add an extra hour or two for the script.

Dikiyoba will answer and then just ignore the troll. It will be angry, but the big goat will come eventually.

More than 3 hours on the Boards, five I think. Another 5 for my Xbox and for GF2. Usually I study 1 hour at day. More playing if I don't have homework.

P.S.: I'm not joking. :eek:

P.S. 2: You opened this poll for this my post, right? :)

What I meant by don't waste your life on games isn't that you shouldn't play games, because it's a great way to pass time when you're bored. Just don't put it as first priority, you know what I mean? Don't sacrifice time with friends to play a dumb game, it's just not worth it.
Honestly, I prefer playing a games than wast my time going in a disco. :P

I only really spend about ten minutes a day checking the boards, although I used to spend an hour or two, and will probably begin to do so again as I shift from lurking to active posting.

Insubordination! You are a lurker, so I am your Evil Overlord! Consequences will arise if you make one more post!

Now that Argh and Ed are gone, I have no bans to look forward to. I also have much fewer detrius(*) topics to read, like senseless polls and goodbye topics.

I'm usually on these boards for about 4-6 hours every night and randomly during the day depending on my work schedule. Yeah, I know. I have no life. :P

About an hour over the course of a day. I drop in a few times a day to see what has changed and occasionally add a post. In spikes longer when I go back to read old topics.

No, not really. It's more so I want to see about people like Wise Man, Alorael and TM. They've been here for years, are always on, and visit other minor forums as well.

On the days I go to school, I get online around 9:00am, and lurk around. Do the same during my break at 2, and then again when I get home around 9. The rest of the time, I check the boards around 1pm, and again at night. Altogether, an hour or two at day. Not so pathetic, now if you ask me how much time do I spend on aim a day.......
