How Long You On?

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 :slight_smile:

(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.

:frowning:

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. :smile:

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 :open_mouth: 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 :smile: just had a look at justinLloyds website and read through some articals but he hasent updated it in over a year :frowning:

I spend alot more time on the forums then making my game :frowning:

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. :smile:

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. :slight_smile:

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 :expressionless:

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.
