Armonigann #1 Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) I think I spent at least a few hrs. straight when I first joined. It was just so much great stuff to read about and could'nt pull away. I still spend alot of time here, the gf says "too much time" F#@k her! If she leaves, you guys will still be here...right?

+TrekMD #2 Posted January 19, 2011 I don't think I've ever timed it. But I do know that it's never been hours! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+TrekMD #4 Posted January 19, 2011 Nothing wrong with it if you have the time to do it. I never said it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rybags #5 Posted January 19, 2011 I'm always on here, so probably over 6 weeks in one session. Of course, that's just the computer connected, I'm generally here in the morning for half an hour, then bits and pieces during the rest of the day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Laird #6 Posted January 19, 2011 When I am at home I pretty have the computer on all the time so I look at it between doing other things. The only time I spend ages here is if I have been away or something and am catching up on posts and replying to PM's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorGamer #7 Posted January 19, 2011 The whole time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlowCoder #8 Posted January 19, 2011 I'm probably on a little too much. I'm on all day at work, checking it between jobs. If I don't go out at lunch ... here I am. I have a Droid, so I often check on the way to and from work (with wife driving ), then throughout the evening off and on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinball22 #9 Posted January 19, 2011 The window is usually open all day at work, but I'm only looking at it a little bit of the time -- as a sysadmin, there are lots of times where I'm waiting for something to finish, so it's during those times that I'm actually reading/posting.

HatefulGravey #10 Posted January 19, 2011 It feels like all the time. Work has been very very slow for a while now, and I sit in front of a computer so I just spend all my time really checking this and that. Reading old post and such. So I would say about 9 hours a day 5 days a week I'm here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sysadmin's have the good life. The rest of us get our network activity monitored and would be fired pronto for such activity.

NE146 #12 Posted January 20, 2011 Heck I think I've been logged into Atariage pretty much constantly since 2001 and even before that.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
potatohead #13 Posted January 20, 2011 I check in frequently, looking for news and some chatter. It's good to see the various projects moving along. Longest stretch is probably a coupla hours when I was writing bB code for Ooze. Did a few long stretches, where I would have the program in one window working, and AA in the other, writing about it, asking questions, etc... Usually, I hang about 10 minutes or so. Catch up on something, maybe make a post, then I move on. Sometimes, a good thread pops up, or there is something to study, and I'll be here for a while.

+Random Terrain #14 Posted January 20, 2011 Since most browsers have tabs now, does anyone really leave AtariAge anymore, except maybe to get some sleep? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IntellivisionDude #15 Posted January 20, 2011 All day, if you count refreshing the page every 30 minutes or sooner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iswitt #16 Posted January 20, 2011 Probably for about nine hours when I first joined up. Everybody here is (mostly) genuinely nice and it's not a bunch of flaming, trolling pricks like on every board. I've made some great pals here and have discussed many a facet of the gaming industry. Happy to be a part of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagitekAngel #17 Posted January 20, 2011 If we're going to count having other tabs open, all day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev. Rob #18 Posted January 20, 2011 A few hours. I should actually be in bed right now... or an hour ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybird3rd #19 Posted January 20, 2011 I'm on and off all day, almost every day. I'm sure my longest session was several hours long: there's a lot here to read, whether it's technical information for projects or more "general interest" stuff. I'm also one of those people who's always going back to edit and "tweak" their posts, so that doesn't help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armonigann #20 Posted January 21, 2011 I have a Droid, so I often check on the way to and from work (with wife driving ) Me too! Well, not to work but, when we go everywhere else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
