What do you do while you're on the boards? Do you work? Design a BoA/BoE scenario? Write an epic poem? I script my BoA scenario, and contemplate why I choose a screen name that, when spelled backwards, spells 'a coin'. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

I basically read the boards, read the Lyceum, check my e-mail, and then leave. Although sometimes I continue to work on my epic poem, too. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls! Ephesos: In conclusion, yarr.

Just about anything. I only post with about 1/4 of my brain's processing power. —Alorael, who believes he may have explained a thing or two about himself. Among other things, he is not a dual core person. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

When -X- is on the boards, he either plays one of various internet RPG's, consecrates that forums dedicated to Dikiyoba The Great, or the ones where Jeff Vogel has posted, or reads. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

Epic poem, Kel? Wow! Usually, I check mails, listen to the music and keep open MSN. Nothing else. Oh, and of course I post. -------------------- Download Geneforge 4: Rebellion You have 6 posts.

I'm usually on AIM with multiple people (currently in a BoA chat), and procrastinating over homework. Oh, and contemplating which newbies need to be brought back down to earth. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

-X- will guess that he is involved in your contemplation, Esphesos, and -X- will now put you down for an "Elizabeth" point in -X-'s Big Book O' Personality Classification. Back on topic, -X- forgot that he also listens to the radio football games that he can hear even though they are in the basement. -X- also forgot the existence of the EDIT button.

Whenever I'm here, I'm almost always on AIM too, but I don't really talk much there. Except right now, because it's the BoA chat. Usually I just get on to check/post messages, then get off to work on my scenario. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

Lots of things... I read a few webcomics. I listen to music. I eat. Then I wash out my dishes. Then I eat some more. Oh, and Dikiyoba writes the latest chapter in Episode 3 during the slower moments. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

40 hours a week in an office, the rest of the time spent studying or writting reports for college. I'm around a computer a lot. When I'm working I like to frequently reward myself with internet breaks to keep from killing myself. Good thing I found these boards, eBaum's World was getting old. -------------------- You lose.

When I'm on the boards, I just scan most of the topics on General to see if there's anything I can contribute. Usually, there isn't, that's why I don't post often here. [ Saturday, October 21, 2006 13:59: Message edited by: The Stew Boy ] Posts: 587 | Registered: Tuesday, April 1 2003 08:00 |

Generally, I check the boards in my standard rotation of blogs, websites, and webcomics, which occurs every few hours or so. Oftentimes, I will be on aim, but I generally focus my attention to the web page. -------------------- The Silent Assassin got us thrown out of a party last night by shoving someone's face in a bowl of dip. When I asked for an explaination, he told me that he was having a Seinfeld moment. -------------------- -Lenar Labs What's Your Destiny? Ushmushmeifa: Lenar's power is almighty and ineffable.

I just scan the new posts, reply, and leave. Maybe I'll watch TV if there is something that I don't particular care if I miss part of it. I record a lot of shows for later viewing when I can skip the commercials. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I can't multitask, so when I am reading the boards, I am not doing anything else. Which means that I am [not] working if I am here during the work hours, and [not] sleeping when I am here at a time like this. Although the last "not" might be questionable. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill. However well placed word, unlike a well placed sword, Can also have the power to heal. Posts: 2649 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

When I rarely come here I usually head to the BOA and General forums and browse. I sometimes post when I'm logged in. I then head off to Polaris/Other Forums/Latest Free Game/LJ. -------------------- Milla-Displacer Beastie This is also a good site Posts: 650 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |
