How long do you guys spend on the forum at a time on average?
Keep it open 24/7 as a form of procrastination or replying to things I think are useful/informative
(how does someone go about to create a poll?) I tried checking the box but nothing happens…
After submitting the thread, you will get a window that gives you a poll creator.
Too long.
…
Dang
well, no poll, but still a valid question:)
Yea , i must admit , i spend alot of hours on the forums a day , sometimes just browsing for the funnies, but often reading up on things that i am always in need of bettering. Pretty sure i have spent more direct time in unitys reference docs though.
I camp at the collaberation section of the forum, roasting marshmallows and taking pot-shots at nonsensical threads.
Lol - realise i just posted , but that was worth laughing aloud at!
To answer the question, these forums ate my homepage. I’m logged in 24/7 and am on for quite a bit of that time. For instance, I should be sleeping right now, but I’m in bed with my phone typing this message.
To much time i always have it on maby 16 hours a day then i lurk around for about 5 minutes every half an hour.
i always get detured from what im doing off into someones website reading all there articals just had a look at justinLloyds website and read through some articals but he hasent updated it in over a year
I spend alot more time on the forums then making my game
I check throughout the day from my phone. If the post is long or has code, I am at a computer.
Not so long. I reply to things that I can know about. (m a bit new to game development. So I dont know Have a lot more thing to learn). Once I finish replying to things I know, then m out.
I keep the forum and Unity Answers open whilst I am working on my project. To reply to threads and help people.
1-2h but I check every 1h to see whats new and sometimes its annoying especially when I’m modeling and having like 5 programs open and I always click on internet browser by accident and then I see unity forum which makes me spend 20min browsing it.
My task log shows less than 20 minutes per day unless I am answering a lengthy question, in which case it might be an hour or two solving the problem. That last scenario is rather rare though, just once a month usually. I also only check it two or three times per day unless I want to procrastinate. That said, how many times and how long are two different measurements.
20 mins every 3 days or so. I usually confine myself to my own work. I find it unnecessarily distracting reading what other people have to say each day.
I visit for about 10 minutes every hour or two on the weekend. It’s hard to stay concentrated on my project
Oh, I’m all over the place, at these forums, at Epic Games’ forums for that other engine, at 3D Buzz, ZBrush Central, DAZ 3D forums, all those good places. I try to split my time where I can among all of them. Not easy, but I do. I admit I do play forum politician half the time, but other times, I can be quite serious and helpful with what I know.
Depends how much I am using Unity. If I am using Unity actively everday, I have the forums open for hours at a time. Otherwise, its a check it every few hours and see if something interesting has come up.
