How much time... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Dane Bramage · 10-16-2004, 01:50 PM

This is a huge community, and I can barely keep up. If I check once a day, there are normally 1000 - 1200 new posts! It can take me over 4 hours to even browse the thread titles. Normally, all I can do is reply to the ones that are interesting to me. It's kinda sad, because there are some great discussions going on here. Unfortunately, I rearely have time to read all the replies let alone write a good reponse to them.

SO! How much time you spend surfing the forums?

BTW: I hope this isn't a repost, I did several searches to make sure, and nothing came up.

Im kinda new, so im a little addicted. I usually come on at random times of the day, and in one day usually spend like 3 hours in total.

Right now, since my internet connection basically is not letting me play online games
like Day of Defeat, this basically is my day, unless someone else finds something to do
on our floor. Like I think I've been here non-stop since about noon, and it's 6 right now.
Posting about two an hour, especially on fact-needed assistance posts. I read the
posts where people fight out ideas, but never post, like I'm gonna be any help. I also
try to reply to ones with less than 10 replies in them, makes mine seem a little more
important (ego? :P). And Tilted Nonsense is great place to waste hours in, if there's
nothing of interest elsewhere in the boards.

I imagine this is a per day basis right? The poll doesnt list the interval, but I guess your post does.

I find myself strangely addicted to this site now. I check multiple times a day, and while I am at work, pretty much all day. It is amazing how much traffic this board has. If I go 2 hours without checing up, there are like 200 new posts. I got to learn to read faster damnit!

I've been hitting this board a couple of times a day now for a week or two. Lots of areas to read and participate in, so always something new to read.

I voted 2 - 3 hours per day.

Oops... yeah, I meant per day, on average.

crewsor · 10-16-2004, 03:16 PM

Probably average an hour or so a day. Some days lots more, some less. If I had unlimited time available it would be much more because there is so much interesting stuff here.

Irishsean · 10-16-2004, 03:27 PM

Check thru the board a couple of times during the day, spend some time on IRC if its interesting, probly about 2-3 hours a day. On the upside, I'm doing other stuff at the same time, so its still productive time and doesn't cut into my relaxing time.

Glory's Sun · 10-16-2004, 03:42 PM

I'm on it all day while I'm at work. I browse through, post, write in my journal, try to help people out. I'm always bored at work I may as well spend all day on here

radioguy · 10-16-2004, 08:23 PM

during the week, i average about 2 hrs a day at various times. on the weekend, it's much more. my other job is overnights and really easy, so i just play on the computer all night. i'm usually here, like i am right now! time to go back to work.

NavySEAL · 10-16-2004, 09:55 PM

I always come at all these random times.

Gofclowns · 10-16-2004, 10:13 PM

probably an hour a day when I have time... like to come more... too busy

guthmund · 10-16-2004, 10:22 PM

I pop in at odd times to during the day and I'm usually here about an hour before I nod off.

So....around 2-3 hours a day.

There's just so much to read. I don't dare go into the chat room. I already spend a lot of time here as is. If I were to go in to chat...well....disaster.

Madd · 10-17-2004, 06:13 AM

Bout the 1-2 hour mark most nights. Usally pop on for a bit of a read before going to bed.
