Topic: how addicted are you at Progarchives? Posted: February 28 2008 at 21:36 |
Well at current, I think I average between 1 and a half hours to 3 hours a day on here, although I too are joining in on the "shred war", so for March, I will have the shred war, plus school study and I will begin teaching guitar, so definitely for March, It will probably be only 1 and half hours a day at most.

About an hour a day....in March it will probably be only 30 minutes because of the "shred war"
After March I'll be making up by going on for about 2 hours a day.

sometimes. It's not like this place has much to affer aside from great music and discussion about it. New isnpiring threads are rare. However I feel like a part of the community after all the time, so I always come back.

Come on, be honest...
Oh you mean you're away from PA for 2-3 hours a day... yeah, that sounds more like it...
|
Actually there's a bit of truth in that. Abstrakt's greatest addiction is not spending much time on the forum, as spending it in a traditional way. And that traditional way includes arriving over the Velvet Room, saying "Good Mourning".
Now, if BJ-1 is not around when he does that, he'll rarely stay longer than 30 minutes online.
Repeating this 6 times a day, in this way, brings him to the 2-3 hours he mentioned...

That's on a good forum day! Havn't been many of those lately 
But a year ago, That was pretty much it

I think that's cause of where it's posted. Think about it, people who spend little time on the forums are less likely to spend time on General Polls than people who spend a lot of time on the forums, as it is a small sub-forum. I suspect that if you placed this poll in the Prog Music Lounge you would get different resutls.
Having said that, I am on this forum and I average probably less than 10 minutes a day at the moment.

I haven't counted the time I spent here even if I'm not posting anything.

even more so when the site takes a turn towards the personal... .we have had many friendships... very close ones develop here. I even hear there might be a wedding some time this year hahhah  Even more than the music.. the people here make the site what it is.

Just try adding a double CD sampler to the site that has many artists playing short songs with long titles in languages you are not familiar with, that will push the hours way up there.
