Tell us how often you come to PF to read and post!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
About a year ago I was here at least 5 times a day. Now its once a week, or less.
 
Sorry, I added a poll since you posted.
 
I come about 5 times a day, just because I'm on the computer a lot so I check in on franzbear :smile:
 
I put down three because I'm pretty much on the whole time I'm at work but usually wind up going to other sites intermitantly and log off when ever I go to lunch.
 
I was not sure what to put. I put 5+, but the correct response would be "too much!"
 
I read it in the mornings..maybe check it if I have time at lunch, same for the night time, if I'm not busy, or if there is a thread I follow.

All of them!

I agree with ranger. I visit PF probably every few hours during the day when I have access to a computer. Usually the first thing I do is click "New Posts," scroll through about 3 pages and read the ones with interesting titles. Then, I check my subscribed threads and the threads I posted to recently.

That process alone can take 30 minutes. I'm a PF-aholic. :rolleyes: Anyone else want to come forward and admit their addiction?

I don`t log on every day but the days i do then its once and don`t log off. If I need a study break then i`ll check GD and have a giggle to myself over some of the weird things people talk about. I`m more a voyer PF`er than an actvie poster. It`s not people watching it`s people reading and yes i`m addicted to it.

This is the first time I've visited PF in days. I've been so freaking busy lately.

No excuses! You need to find more time for your relationship with PF.

I have a PF obsession. When I'm at a friends place and I get on their computer for a bit I always check PF. My friends get irritated with me because they aren't interested in PF at all. What's worse is that since I'm always on here I actually talk to people about the discussions I have on here because it's about the only thing I do on a regular basis.

"So I was talking to someone online about..."
"Uh huh.. yeah anyway..."

I log on whenever I'm at my home or boss' computer, and stay logged on until I'm leaving the building. So actually, it's either 1, 2, or 3 times per day depending upon where I go, but I'm constantly on even when not in the same room with the computer or when I go to other sites. It might well be even more now that my girl has moved into her own place and is setting up her computer.

Anything else you want to admit while you're at it? :biggrin: :wink:

I'm always logged in...I use the "remember me" check box. I've been running overnight experiments, and they really cut into my PF time since we have no internet access at the farm (otherwise I'd be on all night...instead I've been watching a lot of DVDs to keep myself awake in the wee hours of the mornings). During the daytime, I'm on often...most days never really log out, just minimize the window.

I usually visit four or five times a day. I never officially "log out". Sometimes I stay here for hours at a time. Other times it's more brief.
