I have a problem and my problem is you Dakka. You are like crack to me. I don't have a Facebook page, i dont do social media in general because i dont see the point, so most of my internet free time is spent here on Dakka. I would clock up 2 - 3 hours a day easy and some days if im bored il hit 4+ without trouble. So my question to you my fellow users is how much time to spend here on Dakka?

If you can be bothered, write in on what forums you frequent.
Myself, usually Off topic. Because you never know what you will find.
Painting & Modelling. Sometimes i pick a random page and read any interesting threads, then rinse and repeat.
and sometimes 40K General Disscusion.



Even as i write this I should be on my way to the dentists... I'm bad. So very very bad.

One forum alone could never satiate me. I also use Facebook, 4chan and have recently been really active on Fetlife and I wish all of them moved just a little quicker. On Dakka I pretty much stay in OT nowadays owning only one GW game in playable form anymore (Bloodbowl), but will sometimes venture into Vidya games, News and rumors, Discussions, Painting and modeling or Role-playing.

I'm 'on' the site for several hours at a time.

However, I 'use' the site for only about an hour or two per day.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Alright which smart alec voted for option 5? Hmm...

@Cannerus - I also frequent 4chan quite often. That would be my second most used site after Dakka. Mostly I use the Anonyma app for my iphone but i sometimes surf with my PC.

On the days I'm at work, I spend a minimum of 2 hours on the site and probably more like 4. I spend significantly less time on the site on my days off, not because I find it less compelling them, but because I make a conscious effort not to do things at home I could be doing at work, and vice versa. I can't work on painting my ROBB board at work, but I can paint my nob bikers there, and I can't play Space Marine at work, but I can spend hours on Dakka Dakka there, etc etc, so I try and allocate those tasks for those timeframes.

I'm in the 'use it at work' boat too. I'll browse this and the 40kforums on and off all day if it's slow. And lately it's been very slow. I usualy hit most of the 40k themed sections, and now off topic.

Although I'm online 24/7 because of my iPhone, I'll spend sporadic amounts of time on Dakka. At work it's 20 minutes here, a half hour there. Mind you that probably adds up to around 2 hours a day! When I'm off work, not so much because I'll be catching up on paper work and trying to cut through the increasing amount of red tape....which I wouldnt have to do if I spent less time on Dakka!

And yet here you are, 40,000 posts later.

I get on about one hour- two per day on a good day, less than 20 minutes on others.

I have painting and crap to do!

Varies, but I get about 1 to over 3 hours of Dakka a day. Also shameless self-promotion of my own thread (somewhat related to the discussion).

I'm on Dakka 3+ hours a day.

Then again, most of the time spent is the web browser tabbed out when I'm playing Minecraft.

Yeah i know... It sounded good at the time, but of course as soon as i had clicked the "accept profile" button i thought up an even better one. Power of hindsight and all that. As for me being a man, well thats something of a debate among my friends who all consider me to be something akin to some form of androgynous blob merged with my computer chair.
