How many hours does everyone spend on AFF? Do you devote all your spare time if not working on your car or at work to this community.
I enjoy it here at AFF and spend the better part of 3-4 hours a day. Can you become addicted to a website just like you can drugs, and a have a dependance?

Around 4 or 5 hours a day, sometimes before I leave work open 50+ tabs of all the new posts then chuck the laptop on standby and read all the tabs on the way home on the train. I make it so it shows 100 posts per page. helps with reading as well.

About 1-2 hours a morning, not much on weekends, and the occasional evening.
When I get on in the evening, everyone else is online too so msn chatting can take up alot of time... although lots of fun and I really do enjoy it, the family get shirty if I sit at the PC all night. So I tend not to do it all that much. I used to spend more time on the net and ignore the housework, then it started taking over my life... so now I give myself a time limit and stick to it.

Whenever I get the cahnce, which being a shift worker is at really funny hours. Probably averages out to 2-4 hours a day and I want more. I am sure there are things I should really be doing but I can't help myself.
Just look at my join date and post count, I am such a post whore!

Too much, but thanks to tabbed browsing in FireFox, I also happen to get more important things done at the same time in other tabs, read thread, add reply if need be, get back to job hunting for a few minutes, read another thread, etc.

I spend about 1, sometimes 2 hours a day here. My new job is pretty good - do an hour or 2 of work in the morning, then cruise most of the rest of my shift till 2pm as there are no more orders - perhaps one or 2 more around lunchtime.

Usually from about 4.45pm when I get home from work, until about 10.30pm when I get ready to go to sleep.
I'm on and off constantly on weekends too.

Too long as well. An easy 2-3 hours is a minimum sometime.
Then there's days where the pc stays on with FFA on in the background.
