You are spot on. Certain people need a life, and a change in car taste.

Oh, the ironing!

Well I just spent 5 mins reading the thread and then adding this post.

wonder if I will spend a further 5 minutes every post I make in this thread?

Pointless thread is erm pointless.

Just think of the ironing Fox could have done with all the time he has spent on here!

I spent WAY too much time in here, but then I enjoy reading and posting here.
Sure, a lot of it is a complete waste of time and I do get annoyed with a lot of the crap content but it's a nice way to spend the time.

It's no different to wasting hours watching crap on TV imo.

I've got nearly 10,000 posts in only 2.5 years. That's about 11 posts a day of drivel

I'm not sure what mine is (I've given loads away before), but even yours isn't much. 11 posts is easy to do each day.

I can easily spend over 12 hours a day on here when i'm at work. I'll be monitoring the servers, monitoring the e-mails etc.. and have overclockers on another screen for the quiet time.

Im not seeing the problem with that, i spend all day looking at the price of gold, might as well look at something interesting on the other screen.

It's still 'only' 3 hour per day, for 8 years.

There's probably a lot of lurkers here who spend similar amounts of time on the forums, but just don't post as much.

300 posts in 5 years

how much of that is down to the fact that Fox is an obstinate argumentative type of guy ?

He can often post 10/15 times in the space of 5 / 10 minutes when in the middle of a Robbie G / Mike Hiow thread.

eg.

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/misc.php?do=whoposted&t=18202992

146 posts in the last big MikeHiow thread.

A good 20 or 30k I would guess.

That many? I rather lost track after 80 or 90K. Not related to this but was it you who threatened to ban doofer for posting "lolfacebook"?

[TW]Fox;17990657 said:
He isn't talking about the average poster though, is he?

It does seem to be mainly about you but it's perhaps a fair point that many of us do spend a lot of time on here. Then again if the other option was vegetating in front of the TV this suddenly looks like a much better option.

[FnG]magnolia · 13 Dec 2010 at 19:41

If the OP is not trolling then they must have changed the definition of trolling. Typical post-and-run stuff and neither helpful nor interesting.

Absolutely - thats the benefit of not having to reword a Wikipedia article to make a point, unlike some

Ahaha, so true, takes ages when you have to quote wiki.
