I spend way too much time on this forum and I have just found another one and I cannot decide if I should sign up to it or not. If I do I will never get any work done....

Anyway, I was just curious how much time the average NSer spends on these forums..... I shall be making a poll but be patient because I've never made one before.

Waaaay too much time.

As Czardas, just to show you, I accumulated 4,900 posts in 5 months. That's almost 1000 posts a month. :eek: Since August I've been inactive, because my account stopped working, but I'm fairly sure next summer I'll be back with even more...

Hmph. Showoff. :rolleyes:

I wasn't sure if I was meant to count the time I spend reading through posts and thinking about replying (I think a good 7 out of 10 times I hold off, may contribute to the low post count), or the time I actually spend involved in threads.....either way, I could have done so much more this summer were it not for this place.

I have problems with that kind of stuff.....I recently downloaded games onto my cell phone and yesterday at work I forgot to work because I was playing Doom. Realized I hadn't done anything about fifteen minutes before close. :D

I did a lot more this summer, which is probably why I'm so tired. :D

What is this in, hours? Days? At least 2 hours a day, generally. 7 days a week.

I assumed it was hours, because coming in at 7+ days a week....that would take a talent that I've simply never encountered.

I'm on at least 21 times a week -- thrice a day. I don't know what you're talking about.

But that's still simply 7 days a week. I was talking about differentiating between whether that's hours or days, not visits per week. Get on top of things, Czardas....

I check the forums all day while working.

Probably spend too much time thinking about replying and what to say, so miss out on making the reply.

Brain implosion pending... :headbang:

Generally a few hours a day, maybe an hour, hour and a half a time. So that would be 20-30 hours a week. So about half the time I spend sleeping. So I spend almost half my week either sleeping or on here. I should cut down. On sleeping. It'd make my posts more interesting, certainly.

Hey if you find this fun why should it be to much time. Blow off your job, family and friends and just spend your life on the forum! Come on, you know you want to! :D
