Far too often according to Mrs Flashman. "You're Dakkaised aren't you?" she says if I completely phased out to what she's saying.

**lucasbuffalo**

4+ times a day easily.

**sillyboy**

Well i have it on tabs when i browse the internet make homework. So i'm more logged in then actually watching.
But still i'm on for a good amount of time.

**Gavin Thorne**

During the week, I'm on no less than 8 hours a day. When I get to work, it comes up with all the other programs I have to load.

On the weekend, maybe once or twice a day for 1-2 hours.

I try to check Dakka less (not at all really) on my days off, as one of my life's principles is not to waste time at home doing stuff I could be doing at work (like painting infantry, uploading and organizing to my dakka gallery, doing my taxes, working on research for school) and instead use my home time to do things I can only do at home (like painting vehicles, taking pictures of the minis, larger projects, and reading)

You'd think I could read at work, but my preferred reading method is to get comfortable and read the whole book in one or two go's over a 4 or 5 hour session without distractions. I read fairly fast and prefer not to be constantly interrupted.

Ditto.

**Chowderhead**

10+ times a day.

**Mad4Minis**

Anytime Im online. I go to several websites whenever I get online...unless its just a quick email check.

**snurl**

I log in when I see the DAKKA signal in the night sky.

**malfred**

Every now and then Dakka Dakka has to cut me off if I want to drive
home safely.

**Knightley**

I have two screens at work. one has the programs I use, the other has the Dakka site open, usually have the gallery open where I go through and look at the models people have uploaded.

**Deathwolf**

Probably 3 times a day on average. Although sometimes I'll open a browser, go to Dakka, and then realize that I was just there and already looked at all the threads I was interested in. I'm addicted. I know it and my wife makes fun of me for it.

**greenskin lynn**

i have it set up as my homepage, so i generally have it open in a tab when i'm online, though i usually will just pop around threads every couple of hours unless a thread has just really caught my eye

**Brunius**

When I open my browser - it's one of my seven bajillion homepages (8 really)

**Fury_00011**

Well now I don't feel bad I checked this site out for a month or so before I signed on for the forums and now I check it at least 3-4 times a day ( wew) I'm not the only one

**mrwhoop**

I usually check in at work (slow to no workload) to see what's up and I'd say maybe twice a day when I'm not working.

**Dashofpepper**

I lost internet during a thunderstorm once, and there was a heart-stopping break while I scrambled to get out my phone and scream "DAKKA DAKKA" into the voice recognition software powering my web search.

It was a close call. Everything is so much more vibrant now. Alive. Now I protect myself by having Dakka up and auto-refreshing on multiple computers and phones simultaneously in different locations powered by different ISPs and powergrids, and I have a secondary computer at home with a satellite internet linkup that is powered by solar cells and a backup electric generator that stores energy via a converted hamster wheel ala prototype dog wheel that also has a secondary generation source in the attached bicycle pedals.

**Lord_Osma**

Hate to admit it but at work I have a lot of free time and constant PC access....so I check about every half hour, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, sun-thurs. Because of this I almost never access from home as it makes me feel like I'm at work.

**Ma55ter_fett**

whenever I am in a lecture and ought to be paying attention to the professor.

**Nu11nV01D**

Well, I'm currently training in web developement so I've got code in one monitor and the browser in the other, and anytime I trigger a build it sits for a minute or two, so I check dakka.

So yea, every 30 minutes or so, 5 days a week.

**Revenent Reiko**

pretty much never log out (unless my laptop decides otherwise

)
i...just...cant....stop....

**Samus_aran115**

Once or twice a day between 9:30 and 3:10, plus the entire evening, and occasionally after midnight. In other words, most of the time. Whenever I'm on a computer/mobile device.

**Talarn Blackshard**

I try to check it every couple days atleast, been working a lot on my deathwing so they have been eating up a lot of time.

...I can only neglect my fiancee so long before he hurts me lol

**Auxellion**

10-15 minutes during my first morning class

Quick, where do you work, I need an application

OT: TOO MUCH!

**VikingScott**

It's one of my tabs I generally keep open while doing other stuff. I'll flick back every now and then. So it's up a lot on my laptop.

**dayve110**

To often.
I'll usually load up the laptop in the morning to check on the weather, and end up having a quite browse on dakka.
When i get home from work its one of the first sites i'll check

**col. krazy kenny**

Daily, at least once.

**djphranq**

I'm on it at work when I'm not provisioning circuits or chasing alarms. I also check it in the evenings when I'm at home.

**General Seric**

I check Dakka about 4 times a week, on some weeks once a day.

**MechaEmperor7000**

Every 3 hours as long as I have nothing else to do.
