Have you skipped/class work solely to hang out at the TFP?
TFP is fun, and it is a great community.
Have you skipped work or class yet to post here, and just "hang out" around the site? Myself, I occasionally skip class to surf the net or watch a baseball game online, but today I skipped class so I could hang out here.  What about you? |

I'm so gonna sound like an old man here, but if you have dreams then getting in time on TFP ain't gonna help you achieve them. Getting an education might.

I've never skipped class, but I will sit here during my classes and play on TFP and if I happen to skip class for another reason (Bus was late, I was late, I didn't get out of bed) I will use my time to browse TFP (I do HW and school shit when I need to, but I will waste time on here)

Yeah, I've gotten so caught up in here once or twice that I missed class.
I haven't done it intentionally yet though, maybe one day.

Haven't skipped class yet for the sole purpose of spending time on tfp. I usually skip to catch up on lost sleep, usually due to spending my nights on tfp. So I guess in some way, tfp is the cause of the skipped classes... Not that I'm complaining

No way.
As much as I love this site, I could never justify missing work to play here. Besides, work = money, money pays bills, one of them being the internet....get my drift?

Luckily for me TFP and homework make a good combo...so I might skip my history class and sit in the library, do homework and be on TFP occasionally, but I've never skipped solely for TFP. There's always some other thing involved...homework, friends, food...and TFP

Ive got around seven hours at work to surf TFP no need to stay home. Getting paid to hang out in this awesome community rocks!
