    I spend an hour on SP. I spend 5 hours on the computer.

    I look at 1 to 5 topics, because I am getting so picky I don't want to look at all the other topics, because of them seem to be either about Americans, or religion, or just topics where it's a one-post-and-never-read-again topic.

    I am not obsessed over SP. I am just obsessed with my internet.

    [​IMG] I spend a large portion of my free time on SP. Go on it when I get home during weekdays till I go to bed usually. I don't come on if there's a game I want to play though...

    I usually spend around half an hour on SP each day. I suppose I'm addicted just because I visit everyday, but it's not the same kind of addiction that video games induce.

    I have yet to check out the chat rooms though, which I suspect would really lengthen my time on SP.

    I'd like to see how you do that! :D I'm quite happy with my 2 hours... it's still a lot, considering that I don't play any dnd games anymore.. I just lurk around the playground and whatnots.

    36 hours per day! You realy are insane. When I'm on the net there is always a little window minamised saying 'Boards of Magick' and I read most posts, but no non relevant to anything I care about thread such as NWN or IWD2.

    SP is engrained on my PC. Even when I am not at my computer whether I'm out, asleep, or whatever, I usually have SP minimized.

    It's become as regular as checking e-mail.

    [​IMG] Hmm...it's got to the point where I don't check mails. :)
    Seriously, I don't usually go into the BG2:SoA/ToB forums anymore however, because to me they're all 'Which monster do you fight most' and 'What was the hardest battle?', and if not them, then it's romance problems.

    I spend most time browsing through Creativity Surge or Whatnot Forums. Though I'm yet to contribute to the former...most my stuff isn't worth putting in there anyway. Then occasionaly posting/reading the rarely-posted NWN Toolset forum.

    *sigh* I think i might check my mail soon...

    Not 'nuff.

    The BG2 forum (only game forum I am familiar with) has begun to bore me as well, but I do make some comments on it. I read Whatnots and usually make some pointless remark. Booktalk and Creativity Surge are the two forums I latch on to; IMHO, more people must post there.

    For me, The title of a topic can make all the difference as to wether i'll check it out. Hence its only 5-10 topics a day. Anyway, to check just 5 - 10 topics a day, I'd need at the most 2 hours considering that I'm doing other things as well etc.

    [​IMG] Luckily I have escaped the charms of the chat. Pheeeew. Not that I don't like you people, but the last year without much chat has been spledid :p

    Now I just settle with lurking a few forums. Suits me fine. I remember those days with 100 posts a week. Exhaustive. Hard to keep track of all the new faces and names though. :(

    Need a selection for less than 1 hour per day. I'm more like a one hour a week type of person.

    [​IMG] Waitaminute... You mean... It's possible to... to... to N-NOT be on SP? Just a second.
    <Closes the window.>
    HOLY F***ING S***!
    <opens IE again, goes back here.>
    I have seen the real world... and it is not pretty.

    I actually spend less time at SP lately. I'm just to busy with other things. I used to come here daily, but now I'm lucky if I can come twice a week.
