    Ok, so a lot of people on here (Myself included) spend a LOT of time on here.

    How come you spend so much time on here?

    Do you toil away hours on here when you should be working?

    Are you a student who spends study time doing Boardsie stuff?

    Are you unemployed so you can do whatever you like all day?

    How come we all have so much flippin' time to spend on here day after day?

    Me? I'm unemployed atm so Boards it is!

    So, what's your excuse? 50 votes

    Get a job before it takes over your life. Make sure there are no computers in your job. This place will corrupt you.

    I post when i'm meant to be working. My productivity levels regularly get called into question and unfortunately I can't refer to my postcount when explaining this!

    Student life means plenty of time for Boards.

    When I was a student I was way too busy to be hanging about on Boards.

    Now that I have a job though........ Boards is what makes sure I never do anything too quickly. My boss would hate if I finished stuff in half the time cause then he couldn't bill as much.

    So what you're saying is by browsing boards for most of our day we're actually helping restimulate the economy?

    Interesting.........

    None of those poll options relate to me in any way.
    This is how I retain my air of mystery.
    This is done becuase when a gent has an air of mystery, internet laydeez PM him pictures of their naked selves.
    Thanks for that 6th btw.

    I work in a call center so I'm infront of a computer 8 hours a day. Usually I'm not even listening to people on the other end of the phone, I'm just typing away my gibberish here.

    Anywayz, I get paid to dick about. Yay :D

    Yep, you're also helping to increase employment. For example if you spend 90% of your working day here, that means your employer will need to employ at least one more person to make up for that loss. Now imagine if everyone hired spend 90% of their time on boards. That would mean that boards would be responsible for increasing employment 10 fold.
