Why do you spend so much time on boards?

    This is mainly aimed at those with massive post counts, (you know who you are)
    You love to have an opinion ? Is it boredom ?

    Because its the only site on the net where I can argue about religion, talk about video games, and weigh up the pros and cons of shaving my balls, among other topics.

    Define "massive" :D

    Lots of reasons....

    Generally use it to filter out the crap thats in the media and hear real people's opinions on stuff.

    Certain forums (banking/bargain alerts) good to show/warn you of whats out there and educate yourself

    Sometimes i just do it to call Tubbs, Noel Dempsey etc a dope too.

    As for posting, sometimes I have opinions that need a broader audience to lead to an intelligent discussion on topics (Infrastructure mainly) which you cant find in your local..

    Sometimes i just have a question that people i know dont have the answer to (and neither does google)

    And of course, sometimes im bored off my t1ts and need a laugh (stingy thread anyone?)

    Like i said, lots of reasons. In short, Boards is excellent
    ;)

    My Mam died suddenly in August, for me the Boards, and internet in general has been a lifesaver.
    I would have went out of my mind thinking about stuff relating to her death. Instead I just messed around on internet looking for the most trivial stuff, I think to avoid ****. When I cant sleep during the night due to nightmares, I come on the boards, and the internet in general. Just helps take my mind of stuff.

    don't have a massive post count but i lurk a lot. i'm in transition year so i have a lot of free time and i often don't feel like sleeping in the dead of night so i'll consult my laptop for ideas on what i should do. usually have a few forum tabs/facebook/youtube open and i refresh the page every few minutes.

    also lurk around the leaving cert forum a good bit to get my head around what i'll be doing soon enough.

    I didn't think i had a high post count, but it was pointed out to me the other day that apparantly i do...i'm always afraid i'll miss the good stuff so i stay on as often as possible :D

    Plus i use it on my mobile mainly,so it's a lot easier to spend ages here without realising.

    Boards taught me that there's more to the internet than porn.

    Very much depends. It will increase when there's either something interesting or newsworthy or to relieve boredom

    The internet has pretty much replaced TV for me - and there is a LOT on Boards alone. I find it enjoyable, interesting, some great people etc. Most of my postcount was racked up at college/work between 2005 and May 2009 though.
