Ever bothered to know whether you are addicted to this forum?
Seeing the rate of increase in number of postings, How about carrying out a survey as to how many just can't live without this forum!
Vote for the suitable category. Make sure to vote for the right category as to how many 'actual' hours you spend in this forum rather than just 'online' time. Becoz like me most may be 'simply logged in' for whole day, but viewing time may be different.

Moderators, please don't remove this thread thinking that it may be 'INJURIOUS' to Thinkdigit forum! :D

Duke! It's not the time online, but actual time spent viewing and interacting in the forum. I hope your are not hampering company productivity whole day! :D


And guys I think most of the 'addicted' users must be having unlimited plan for internet access, otherwise would end up burning their pockets!! :D or if I am wrong are there any guys who don't mind spending for thinkdigit.com?

Mine is unlimited plan from Airtel...so no problms at all! ;)

Lucky duke! In office, I get time to sneek into this forum and give a instant reply. It's only when I reach home, I am able to concentrate in this forum.

One suggestion dude...your office is very loyal to you. 350Kbps speed and enough time.....I guess ur location should be changed from Home sweet Home to Office sweet Office! :D

Nice signature kuni5_hem.(although i barely made it out:D).This forum has more arsenal supporters than any other club.
Coming back to the topic
From four years(when i bought computer) +2 in cyber cafe I spend considerable time on my computer and i never felt that my eyesight is weakening or so.Instead I found it growing strong:D.It is 6\6 medically;-).Maybe this is because of the anti glare screen hanging infront of me or the 85Hz refresh rate.I feel really uncomfortable at 60Hz which is the default.Many people who are not so aware about computer(most are not)pop their eyes at 60hz.

20-30 mins to 1 hour a day, if you see i remained inactive for many months, and only became active recently. I almost left the forums because the forum downtime pissed me off, also I never got an answer to anything I posted. I mostly only reply to a thread that nobody else is replying properly, or someone said something misleading.

I remain on this forum only because the Hardware section(which is great) keeps me updated of prices/availability in india. I believe this forum needs to be more sound technologically, I hope I can make this frank remark without getting flamed, besides, some of you guys are great.

but i am addicted to another forum, reading it mostly, was great to read it up, you cant Imagine how long I've only read that forum, I've been on the forum long before on digit, great forum but i dont know if i can post it here with these comments, so let it be.

Well, I stay online almost the whole day (i've got 2 ~256kbps connections on 2 different rigs! one unlimited). And whenever I stay online, I ThinkDigit. Well, that makes up for most of the day, most of the week, most of the year.

And thinkdigit is the only forum i actively visit. Well, that makes up for more than 100hrs a week ;)
