Are you a Forum addict?

lordrobs · 17 Oct 2007 at 14:53

I worry that I spend way too much time on these fine forums. Infact I think I'm actually showing signs of dependancy / addiction :eek:

Just wondering who else feels that they spend too much time on this or any other forums and whether you feel that you might be a tad addicted or dare I say it obsessed?

Also if any of you can, if you had to put a ball park figure on your forum browsing time per week how many hours do you think you clock up?

WotDa · 17 Oct 2007 at 14:55

Me.

I'll take a random guess and say at least 10 hours on a few different forums.

I'm sure someone can arrange a Suspension to help you get over your addiction

helmet · 17 Oct 2007 at 14:56

Yes, and lots. A guess ~6 hours a week.
Only this place though. No other forums are that sticky to me. I find this place a good mix of everything.

I'm sure one of the Dons could do the honors but I'll pass for now thanks

Yep addicted only to this one though, I click the OCUK bookmark everytime I open my browser on instinct.

NiccoLau · 17 Oct 2007 at 15:06

I am. I have the forums open all day at work

Confused · 17 Oct 2007 at 15:12

Yup, definitely.

Between here, Digital-Car, PreludeUK and LudeBehaviour, I would hazard a guess at an alarming amount of time per day :confused:

Used to post on loads of forums, now I don't. This helps me get through the few slow moments at work though.

MikeHunt79 · 17 Oct 2007 at 15:17

On a local forum I go on, it tell you how long you've been logged in for. My figure is around 2 weeks! I hate to think what productive things I could have done in that time!

Kyle009 · 17 Oct 2007 at 15:18

im addicted to this forum during working hours

jackthezipper · 17 Oct 2007 at 15:18

Just find them handy when bored. Easist way to find news stories, stuff that interests you and funny stories of peoples misfortune all at the one time

. Oh and special deals

Admiral Huddy · 17 Oct 2007 at 15:18

Yes and Yesssssss - that is all.

Murf · 17 Oct 2007 at 15:19

40hrs a week for me. I rarely check the forums outside of work though. That time belongs to my other addiction of WoW. :/

Do a several /played's over your main characters and report back tbh!

I'm close to 700 hours in Guild wars over 25 or so months.

WoW will be slightly higher I feel, but with the amount of deleted characters I have theres no chance of finding out a specific number.

J1234 · 17 Oct 2007 at 15:24

Yep, fortunatly..

Captain Kirk · 17 Oct 2007 at 15:24

All the time at work, until someone walks past my desk, then a quick window change is in order. I'm not even supposed to have internet access at work, never mind browsing OCUK forums!

SGWills · 17 Oct 2007 at 15:27

spend most of my working day on this and another forum so i reckon 20+hrs a week :confused:
