How much of your life have you wasted on here?

[peterperkins]

Just thinking about this and estimating it.

Let's say the average post takes 2 minutes. I know a lenthy tome takes ages, but a ROFL emoticon and press of the submit button doesn't. We will call it two minutes average.

I have about 700 posts, so thats about 24hours in total spread over about 5 years.

I note some people have over 30,000 posts thats over 40 days splurged on irrelevant tosh.

I know we all waste our lives in different ways, and this can be classed as entertainment, I'm not saying don't do it, just looking at it from another perspective.

Too much!

I usually start with noble intent, just reading.......

2 mins? Oh God no . . . Learn to speed-read and memorize will save you loads of time.

Only relevant posting of course

OK, but on the flipside, you've taken years off the life of a number of people on here, and made those years seem like deacdes for multiple Phettes.

Good man

The two minute calculation entirely misses the hours spent reading threads you never reply to, reading responses to things you've written etc.

[G'kar]

About 4 months.

But all of those 4 months.

This is gonna confuse the living crap out of him now then...

3105 posts in 49 months.

So 3105 x 2min = 6210min = 103.5 hours

So about 2h 7min per month.

I think.

Quite. I take ages reading your auction postings, to the extent of making a fresh cuppa first

[speedfreaky]

The trouble is ,as has been mentioned ,is the time taken reading posts BEFORE replying!I bet a lot of people spend a 10+ hours a week on here ,easily

You're lucky. I have to make sandwiches to get me through writing them!


I reckon I've 'wasted' (OP's word, not in my opinion) about 6 full months on here out of my 7 month membership

I don't post much, but was here when it was called ChariotHeads. So, some years!

[Mr Fenix]

Joined ages ago but only recently started posting regularly. I know I spend too much time on here but some of the posts and replies are hilarious!

[Jasandjules]

Not enough?
Or maybe it's too much.

In any event, I used to post for years under a different log in.......

6/7?

You only have to sign on once a fortnight. What are you wasting the other day on?
