Toron Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) I assessed my daily habits the other day and realized that I visit these forums a minimum of five times per day. Ten times is not unusual. I think it is a way for me to not feel so trapped in the office. I can at least cache vicariously through the anectdotes of others. Just curious how OCD other forum members are. Am I normal or do I need intervention? I was concerned that the need to change into a pink tutu before visiting the forums might be an issue also, Snoogans assured me that he does that to and that it's no big deal. (now, in addition to finding out about other members' forum habits, I also get to see if a warn meter increase occurs if the slight is completely tongue-in-cheek.) edit: anecdotes Edited May 12, 2004 by Toron Quote Link to comment

+Seamus Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Well, technically, I guess you could say I only check them once a day... but it's a very long check. Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I try to stay out of the forums Quote Link to comment
+Mastifflover Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Every time I check for new caches I check out the forums which is many time throughout the day. Quote Link to comment
+BAF Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Well, technically, I guess you could say I only check them once a day... but it's a very long check. Same here after I log in I'm here for along time. How pathetic are we Quote Link to comment
+Lone Duck Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Once or twice, if at all. There are the few days that I don't check here at all. And this isn't the only forum that I hang out in, there are others that I check in on as well. And then there's Usenet, which is basically unlimited when it comes to messenging. I'm an old BBS person, and I really liked the message boards on the BBS's. This is very similar to that. Quote Link to comment

+Riddlers Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Me, never, or at least only when I turn the computer on in the morning and each time work brings me back, so only five or six, see, never, well, hardly ever. Quote Link to comment

+sept1c_tank Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and check the forums. That's normal, eh? Quote Link to comment
bug and snake Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Once a day, every day, all day long..... It's a song OK! Not an answer to the question..... Besides, I didn't even notice what the question was! Quote Link to comment

4x4luv Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 25/8/367 at least once a day Quote Link to comment
+Midway Cafe Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I check out the boards a minimum of three times a day. Once before sunrise, once after work and once before bed. All contingent upon access to the computer. If someone else needs the system for homework that takes priority. Then there are the times that the computer is tied up on a project for several days and I'm on the boards 20 times, but all very quick glances while the system is free. MC Quote Link to comment
+hedberg Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I have never been here, once I tried to get here twice, but no, I have been to this forum (Denial is the first sign of addiction, or what do they say!?) Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) Pretty often. Once before I go to work. About once an hour at work (we're pretty slow right now, so it makes the 14 hour day day go faster), after dinner and before I hit the sack. Edited May 12, 2004 by briansnat Quote Link to comment
+Team Thompson Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I am still failry new at the game so I am pretty addicted to these boards (3,4,5 times a day). My expectation is that in a while the newness will wear off and I'll cut that down to once a day or so. A year and a half ago I built a Mame machine (Rebirth Arcade) and was completely addicted to the message boards on the topic, going to them every chance during the day I got - I'm not a 3-4 times a week person now. In fact, it is almost 7am and I should really be at the gym right now getting a workout in before work. Quote Link to comment
vinced Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 You mean there are other areas to the web site, not just the forums? I check at least five/six/ten.... times a day. But I'm definitely not addicted, not one bit. Quote Link to comment
+dhenninger Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Many Many times a day, hope my Boss doesn't read this Quote Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 In a typical day, in the morning before work, around lunch time, later in the day before I head home and multiple times when I'm home in the evening. On the weekends, when I'm around, multiple times throughout the day. Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Much to much . Both here on and G:UK where I am a Mod. So I check at least 4 times a day. Then most of the evening/night till bed time. Think I need some HELP!! Quote Link to comment
+Halden Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Check in teh morning, check out in the evening. Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I try to stay out of the forums Me too. I have hired a staff of secretaries in scanty outfits to check, read, and post to the forums for me. Quote Link to comment
+thestosh Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 My interest in the forums comes and goes. I generaly check them all day long for a few days and then get tired of the way people are so quick to hop each other's cases. Quote Link to comment
+SnowLeopard Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) I check whenever I'm bored or crabby at work, so that means about every 30 seconds or so... Edited May 12, 2004 by SnowLeopard Quote Link to comment

+trippy1976 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 maybe 5? Sometimes more. Depends on if I'm making slides or doing something fun at work Quote Link to comment
+Kitch Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I'd have to guess I have hit the View new Posts over 5k times in the last year. Its weird I have stopped cold turkey a few times...but then in the middle of the nite I wake up and realize I got over 18 pages to catch up on.... Quote Link to comment
+Team JASS Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I enjoy reading the forums during breaks at work! Although lately, I seem to be "breaking" more than I am working! Quote Link to comment
+Sagefox Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I only started on here a few weeks ago and am up to 500+ posts. Definitely hooked. 500??? Whacky! Me... I check the forums too often right now and don't seem to know how to correct that problem. My guess is that its because only 3 caches per year get placed within a 2 hour one-way drive from here.

+papade Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Way too many times!! But at least it is a healthy addiction. papade Quote Link to comment
+cache_us_if_you_can Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I check the forums at least twice a day... more if I have the day off; sometimes less if I work or am out of town. Quote Link to comment
GeoFD Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 never have I been in the forums, nor will I ever go in the forums Quote Link to comment
dampeoples Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I used to check the forums all the time, now I just check them close to the weekend, or when I have some free time to check things out Quote Link to comment
