How many hours a day do you spend on Farkin?

bugger, the poll is missing 8+ for you farkin bludgers

[RCOH]

I put 7-8hrs but only because on am online from the moment I get to work until the moment I leave. Obviously on the weekends it is a lot less because I don't have a PC.

[tm_007]

6-7 hours sound about right. Roll in at 10ish, lunch from 1-2ish and then roll out at 5ish. Some days I go home and really forget what I get paid for.... bugger :wink:

[Joel O]

i'm gonna put 7-8 but often it's more than that :oops:

[W2ttsy]

i just keep a window with farkin.net open in the corner of the screen and reload it periodically.

so pretty much from 9 am till about 11 pm

yup, im an addict.

W2ttsy

[johnny]

2-3

I talk too much!

[konasaurus]

i am on here abit atm becuase i am always online doing my assingments and obviously get distracted

[Byatch]

there appears to be no box for 16hours.
from when i wake up (say, about 8am) till when i go to sleep (about midnight)
my pc is on whenever i'm awake, and i'm online whenever my pc is on, and i'm at farkin whenever i'm online.

*thinks about getting a life*

[Rik]

3-4 now, due to work... but when I was between jobs, it was between 6 and 10 hours a day depending on how I occupied my time.

[BiG BirD]

[naz]

Um, I think they're all off masturbating. Oh.....I think I might go masturbate too. Oh, ok. I like Angelina Jollie!!!

[Carlin]

She has enormous lips!

I spend more time on line than my post count suggests.

[Rexy]

hmm, im not that much of an addict....1 hour every weekday, but about 3 on weekends :P

[kalem]

i'll usually hit farkin.net and hcor.net for an hour or two if i have nothing better to do... I try and start fights sometimes, then i'll end up on the forums for a bit longer...

[Commander Dilsnikk]

Time spent on Farkin is directly proportionate to the amount of work i have to do...
...unfortunately it's a very linear relationship :oops:

[roasted]

waaaayyyy too much.

some may have noticed my habit of making posts at 4 am a few times per week.

Thats true, for like a month I was just reading posts on here and not bothering to post because of the lack of interesting topics. I say bring on the newbie bashing and violence!!

*edit: I would say between 0.5 - 1.5 hours a day*

[mtbmx]

24 hours a day i leave my computer on all the time signed into farkin. do i win?

[GrubNut]

I leave a window open at work. So 10am-6pm Mon-Thurs.

[Fatman]

The first noob to reply 'gravedig' gets an e-glassing in the throat.

I'm curious and I found a thread that sort of fits instead of starting a new one. How often do you spend on farkin each day/week and how much of it do you actually spend riding? I've done the calculations on my average week and farkin wins by a huge margin even though I ride 3-4 days a week. These may only be trips to the pub etc though.:o

So be honest, do you ride your bike as much as you should? It seems a great deal of information coming from this site comes from people who are more often than not spending more time on here than actually riding. (myself included) Should we limit our time on this site?

On the other side of the coin I have used this site to arrange rides with other farkers so does that cancel out the laziness in other times? I'm use this site on a daily basis now and I think I definately have a problem.

I may be making not a great deal of sense but do you see where I'm coming from?

[mongoosedh]

Grave dig. With no useful information.

Nice one, Dave.

I obviously spend wayyy too much time on farkin. I spend most of the day at school on here, making an ass of myself. When I get home, I do the same.

Overall about 8-10 hours a day.

I ride about 8-10 hours a week. If that.

Surely everyone is going to say Farkin gets more airtime than riding, in reality it's the only way it really can be. Unless you're a pro and are getting paid to ride bikes (or a Whistler/Les Gets guide, I guess..), then you're going to spend significantly more time on Farkin. I try to ride my BMX every day (or close to every day) which probably gives me 15-20 hours/week on the BMX (on average), yet I still probably spend an average of 8 hours + on Farkin just because it's always open in a tab in my browser, so I'm always refreshing/viewing and getting distracted by it.

Uni lecture is boring? Farkin. Getting sick of searching job ads on Seek? Farkin. Bored? Farkin. Too lazy to ride? Farkin.

[Fatman]

Grave dig

e-glassing you as we speak!

I'm genuinely interested as to how many of us actually ride our bikes and how many just sit on this site and talk about them? I love doing both but is there balance?

How much time do you actually spend drinking beer, and how much time is just talking about beer?

Oh wait.. Bad analogy.

:p

:D:D:D:D:D:D

In the scheme of things you probably don't want to know, but I think the drinking leads by a good margin.

As for your previous post, this was pretty much what I was looking for. I expect a vast majority will spend far more time here than riding, and as I said I do it too, especially to avoid uni work.

[TheLunchbox]

7-8 hrs a day

My workday consists of

Myspace
Facebook
MSN
Farkin
Ebay
Random Mtb websites and random record shops
then I do about 1 solid hr of real work :)

Yep
Work, internet, work, internet
How did we waste our time before computers
Or did computers give us more free time to waste
My wife asked me the other night if I was now addicted to the internet :eek:
I answered, um well, um, yes, I guess I am. But it's not as bad as drugs! :p

Note to leitch. I'd drink you under the table.

Thats the best thing I could come up with.

[leitch]

Good, you'll be broke before I am. Now shut up.

Hahahah Note to self dont get a slave driver boss;)

Nah man if there was enough work to do i would do it.
I would love a job that kept me busy all day!

[projectsplat]

a hell of a lot less than i used to. I was previously addicted to "off topic" and would compulsively click the "New Posts" button till my mousing finger bled, but I must admit - the fascination is fading.

it has been replaced with a car forum that continues on with a lot of the same crap, but because membership is based on owning a <insert name of some european car brand>, the forum is not chocked up with 12 year olds trying to impress people with the size of their e-penis. :eek:

i still check out farkin almost daily, but am far less active. (was I ever really that active?) hmmmm

[Tristan23]

I put down 3-4 (in the polll) purely for the fact I don't like admitting to myself it's usually about 8. As most people say, it's just always open in a window, even if i'm doing other stuff i'll just come back to it while other pages load.

Reason being though is I work from 5pm-10pm, and then again from 2am-5am, and those 5 hours in between, unless with the girlfriend, are usually spent sitting on my computer. I'll also wake up, and if not doing anything, sit on the net for a couple of hours.

As for riding time versus Farkin time, i'd like to think they were almost close. I ride every day, and if not, every second day. If I ride every second day it's usually because I needed to rest the previous day from the previous day's riding, because i'll regularly go out and ride for 4-7 hours.

But hey, the physical exertion is nothing compared to the mental energy used to sit on here for that long...:rolleyes:

[R33F]

half the posts are retarded 12 year olds,

Naz posted this in 2004 - wouldn't have guessed it. :)

These days generally my lunch break, and maybe an hour in the evening.

[Nerf Herder]

24 not any more.

Only during work hours ... :D

[stringbean]

i put 1-2 hours a day, try to ride a few times during the week for maby half an hour to an hour at a time, and on weekends im parcticaly stuck to my bike during the day for at least 5 hours both days usualy, but often more if im dh'ing.

[Mugger]

Well hmm......... not sure but at least 3-4 hours a day :o

[Lemontime]

I have farkin open for about a half hour (or for however long it is between shower and George of the jungle) before school, and after school from about 4-10. So Farkins open for at least 6 hours day, but from 1-4 hours a day is spent riding (unless it's raining), and on weekends I'm scarcely on the computer during the day, and I'm riding for around 5-6 hours a day on weekends.
So yes, farkin does far out-weigh my actual riding time, sadly :\
But lets be honest, going on farkin is A LOT more convenient than going for a ride..

[Viv92]

Whats with the poll it's gone crazy. Where's the too much option?

[pryaz-norco rider]

There's always work in one tab and farkin in another tab for 2-3 hours:o:p

[heath_92]

As most people say, it's just always open in a window, even if i'm doing other stuff i'll just come back to it while other pages load.

I'm the opposite, I go on farkin and if I have to wait for something to load I might do some homework:rolleyes:not likely

[Breaka]

I'd say a good 3-4. I have it going on in the background while I do other stuff ie. drink beers etc etc.

[Caeneus]

I'd say at the moment it's a couple of hours per day. Great site with lots of informative views and conversations. Great way to pass the loose hours.

[Simmo.]

I voted less than an hour.
The window is open while I'm doing assignments, listening to music, and other things, reloading Farkin every so often, but yeah, probably no more than an hour a day for me.
