Forum time V Browsing time

How long do you reckon you spend on a forum compared to general browsing?

I reckon mine is a 80/20 split towards forums.

I only have 5 or 6 sites I regularly visit, so the forums are generally always open in a tab ready to be F5'd.

Any suggestions for daily browsing sites much appreciated btw.

Thats my trouble. I find it a struggle to find sites to browse.

These are the sites I use. Youtube and Google.

So generally more forums 75-25

My sites I open when I turn PC on:

GMail
OcUK
YouTube

Interesting sites that update regularly that spark your interests

Probably 6:4 ratio of forums to everything else. I spend quite a bit of the time reading the news online as well, you know how it is... having to keep up with current affairs lol (sarcasm).

99% forums (although this isn't my primary forum), I don't really use the net for much else other than online gaming.

Blimey, nearly 29000 posts and it's not your primary forum.

Prob about the same for me. I stopped 'browsing' back in 2000 when the web started to become more mainstream and commercialised. It also lost its magic as well. First time I went on the net (1996) it was pretty mind blowing having all this knowledge at your fingertips and being able to goto a chat room and talk to random people all over the world. Now it doesn't seem the same.

I was on a lot later (started around 2002), but I feel the same as you. It's just not as special as it was.
