Default Time on AFF

How many hours does everyone spend on AFF? Do you devote all your spare time if not working on your car or at work to this community.

I enjoy it here at AFF and spend the better part of 3-4 hours a day. Can you become addicted to a website just like you can drugs, and a have a dependance?

Around 4 or 5 hours a day, sometimes before I leave work open 50+ tabs of all the new posts then chuck the laptop on standby and read all the tabs on the way home on the train. I make it so it shows 100 posts per page. helps with reading as well.

About 1-2 hours a morning, not much on weekends, and the occasional evening.

When I get on in the evening, everyone else is online too so msn chatting can take up alot of time... although lots of fun and I really do enjoy it, the family get shirty if I sit at the PC all night. So I tend not to do it all that much.

I used to spend more time on the net and ignore the housework, then it started taking over my life... so now I give myself a time limit and stick to it.

Whenever I get the cahnce, which being a shift worker is at really funny hours. Probably averages out to 2-4 hours a day and I want more. I am sure there are things I should really be doing but I can't help myself.

Just look at my join date and post count, I am such a post whore!

Too much, but thanks to tabbed browsing in FireFox, I also happen to get more important things done at the same time in other tabs, read thread, add reply if need be, get back to job hunting for a few minutes, read another thread, etc.

I spend about 1, sometimes 2 hours a day here. My new job is pretty good - do an hour or 2 of work in the morning, then cruise most of the rest of my shift till 2pm as there are no more orders - perhaps one or 2 more around lunchtime.

Usually from about 4.45pm when I get home from work, until about 10.30pm when I get ready to go to sleep.

I'm on and off constantly on weekends too.

Too long as well. An easy 2-3 hours is a minimum sometime.

Then there's days where the pc stays on with FFA on in the background.
