I've noticed that I've been getting on and reading reviews and checking the forums for new information on groups around 3-4 times a day. So let's all figure out on a quantitative level how addicted we are to this website. Also, this has been done before, but it was 8 years ago.

I suppose technically only once since I rarely leave here but.....probably 8 or more times a day.

Used to be 8+ times a day. Now I do other things, not guaranteed every day, so it's between twice a week and every other day...been drifting more towards twice a week lately. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

Yeah, I usually just leave it open in another tab, and check occasionally to see if anything new is going on. I'll vote 5-7 because that's probably the most accurate -------------

| Varies depending on the day. I said 3-5 since it seems to be average, if I account for the days when I'm too busy to check and those when I'm taking lots of breaks between assignments and use it to clear my head. |

Only weekdays I "only" view PA once a day (well, twice today since I came home early), but on weekends I look at it quite a few times throughout the day. ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

I log on in the morning, check for any new threads, then keep an active session all day...I get emails when posts are made to threads I'm on so I bounce around all the time. Shut it down then pop back in for a little fun reading before bed. Yup.

I would say this . . . but in reverse. Weekends I'm lucky if I check it once a day, during the week when I'm at work I spend a lot of time on hold . . . I probably check it more than once an hour while at work. ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

Have to confess, not as often as I used too.
Since I "discovered" Twitter I find I spend more time on there . Has feeds into various bands, forums and is a very quick and easy way to keep in touch with what is going on in the world of prog
There are a few similar prog-loving people that I follow and who follow me, and is good way to share recommendations or just "tweet" each other about prog music in general.
So for me, I now come onto this site once a week maybe.

2-3 times a day, but not every day, so I guess the "daily" option fits best.

It changes, I go through phases, sometimes three to four times a day, and then maybe only once a week. Today I am here the second time, but the previous five days not at all. ------------- Don't Bore Us, Get To The Chorus |

Sorry, I didn't catch that yesterday, thanks buddy  As for the thread, I'd say that I normally check in here daily - more frequently if I'm communicating with friends. The past two weeks though I've been away from my usual self - on holidays, which meant that I forgot all about sitting in front of a computer screen...It felt really good to get away actually. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Looking at the list of options, I'd say around 3-5 times in and out here at P.A. and I felt O.C.D. and then there's 5-7 times and even folks who dip in more than 8 !!! It is an addictive site

My interest in this site has kind of gradually diminished over the past while. Maybe like twice a week, maybe like once every two sometimes. Depends. I just wish the site was a booming as it was year or two ago. It's been pretty stagnant this last year. -------------
