I voted that I spend 2 hours daily. It can range anywhere from less than an hour to 6 hours a day haha. Some days when I am really busy I do not come on at all. Like this week for example, has been a very busy one for me so I have fallen way behind in reading the threads.

it'll be as much as two hours a day if i don't have anything pressing to occupy my time. sometimes it's probably even more than that. lately i've been really busy, though, so it hasn't been quite so much in the past few days. even so i only read like 25% of the new stuff that gets posted every day. =/
i'm frankly amazed that ADISC has sustained my interest as long as it has. 2 hours a day is a lot of time. i keep expecting that i'll get bored and stop coming, or just concentrate exclusively on the IRC channel like so many people have. i think ultimately it's the friendships i've formed with people here that keep me coming back.

Well I'm usually on here whenever I'm on the computer, and I switch between this and whatever else I'm doing. Generally, I don't refresh very often if I'm in IRC - I give that most of my attention, and I usually come on about 7. So any time before 7 when I'm on the computer and I have nothing important to do - which is usually about half an hour a day. But I'm on here for a lot longer, just not particularly actively on here.
But it's a different story on the weekends... I have nothing to do, so I usually sit here refreshing all day! So... 3 or 4 hours on the weekend.
5 * 0.5 for the weekdays = 2.5, + 2 * 3 for the weekends = 2.5 + 6 = 8.5
8.5 / 7 Gives an average of about 1.214 hours a day. So the closest option is an hour or less. Unless this poll counts time spent with ADISC open in the background while doing other stuff?

Much more than 3 hours a day... seriously.
Such is the life of no obligations.

Too much time... I'm so sad!
Usually when I'm at home and not doing anything I'll have my laptop on, and I'll half be on the internet and half be watching TV.
I don't really think "I'll spend X amount of time here", I usually just read all the threads that I want to read, do some background checks, and then if it's the evening go on the IRC.
It still varies though, from no time at all a day (yes, it does happen sometimes!), to a few hours on weekdays. On weekends... that depends purely on what I'm doing, if I'm doing nothing then I'll probably be here a lot.
I have a firefox extension that tells me how much time a spend on certain sites, but I forgot to change "tbdl.org" to "adisc.org" so it hasn't been counting. I'll post again later and say how much time I've spent here in between posts...

everyone sounds so ashamed! maybe it wouldn't be the healthiest thing in the world to spend your entire life on the computer and never get any exercise, but i don't think there's anything wrong with having a collection of really close online friends that you want to see and hang out with every day.
i don't want to give you the impression that i don't have a really great social life offline. i've got a number of really good friends in town, and at least a few times i week i'll be out playing music with people or going to a show or whatever. i also have coworkers that i love. but most of the real-life friends who i've known for years and years and really care about live in other parts of the world these days so i only ever talk to them online anyway. and i think there are friends i've made on this site that i care about every bit as much as the real-life friends who live in my town and who i hang out with on a day-to-day basis.
an online social life can be really wonderful and satisfying. there aren't that many people in this world that i can talk to every day and still look forward to seeing, but there are people in this community who i do feel that way about. the time i spend online always gives me a really good feeling and it's part of what makes me a happy person.

Well the problem is that I lack that offline social life. I might have 3 good friends offline but thats about where it stops. Weekdays the amount of time I spend on the computer is like 4-5 hours and in the weekend 7+
I should also be doing other stuff.

I'll visit the website at minimum once everyday for varying lengths of time.
I'm not at all ashamed. If I'm not at home lounging around my bedroom I'm at work, so in no way does it affect my social life as sadly work is my social life, by the time I finish a shift it's usually too late to do anything else other than browse the internet. While I'm browsing ADISC I'll typically be doing something else as well like watching television, listening to music or playing a video game, to me it's just another way to pass the time and socialise with good friends while I'm at it.
I don't see any logical reason to be ashamed 'bout that.
People, especially older, underestimate the socializing aspects of the internet. *recalls reading a newspaper headline that young teens spend too much time on myspace, bebo etc... etc* so long as it doesn't replace physical friendships all together I don't see what the fuss is about.
