Ramfins59 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I come onto this Forum pretty much every day since I joined up, looking for some inspiration for my next build. I started to wonder if part of the reason that I'm experiencing the "modeling doldrums" is that between watching Speed Channel and Velocity Channel, and looking in here a couple of times a day, I'm really not leaving myself a lot of time to actually work on something. I've also noticed that while I think that I spend a lot of time on here, there are some people who seem to make it their job to post new Thread subjects, and, to make comments and/or suggestions on almost everyone else's Threads. (Not that there's really anything wrong with that...) I know that I am retired and have a lot more "free time" than probably most of the people on this site, but at least I sign out for most of the day. How often do you come on here, and, do you find that doing so cuts into your modeling time...???
martinfan5 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 the forum is up from the minute I sign on to the minut I get off the computer, now I am not always on the site but I have it up all the time.
cruz Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Good question! I come pretty much every day, I have the kind of job that keeps me in the office most of the day so I always have time to come in, see, comment and enjoy. I do share a lot of my work here also, it's one of the things that keeps me motivated apart from the 2 clubs that I belong to.
Drgon63 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 i usually stop by a couple of times throughout the day to check out the new content....this is mostly done on my phone during breaks or lunch at work...and then in the evenings i will check the new contents.....i have found both inspiration and have wasted a lot of time here but find the commeradery and the endless wealth of information here to be invaluable ..as you know rich my office i work in has a tv so it is always on in the background....listen more then i watch....music is on if tv is not...
coreyh29645 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 im on here 6-8 times a day. i think its mostly due to bordom at work though. lol
hotrod59f100 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Every day . This site consumes my build time like curse. Lol I love it.
FASTBACK340 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 ...yes, the Velocity channel CAN be addicting. Especially Vinsetta Garage & Chasing Classic Cars! I usually hop on several times a day. Having an i-Phone affords me the opportunity to sign on anywhere. Including work....

a/gass Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 it eats up alot of my time too lol - but i just spin around in my chair and pow! im at one of my work stations - or roll across the room to another work area lol.
AZ Boy Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I have this site bookmarked on my iPad, so I can check it quickly several times per day. I sure wish they'd develope an iPad app for the Model Cars website though...

Dr. Cranky Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Gee, do I dare answer? LOL! I spend a lot of time on here because for me it's home. There's no other forum quite like this one with as many great builders. I live here to soak up the energy and the inspiration, which then I turn into perspiration on the bench. My attitude is you receive what you give, so I always give it my utmost attention and seriousness, plus I try to be as helpful and positive (and CONSTRUCTIVE) as it is humanly possible. EYEGORE just gets on to mark his territory on all the fire hydrants!
martinfan5 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I didnt think Virgil left the site at all :lol:
Chuck Doan Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 This will be a good read for all the bosses out there...
Chris guthro Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 its the first thing i do after work when i get home and the last thing i do before bed after discovering the chat feature im on it alot more than i should be hahha. but its nice talking to fellow modellers!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 LOL, Chuck, at least being here is better than some other sites I know people visit while at work!
Darin Bastedo Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 As you can see by my post count, I'm a regular contributor here, but I've been on more often lately due to my wife's illness. There is a lot odf down time while she sleeps, but I have a computer near her bed. I set it up so I could play netflix or Pandora for her, to keep her entertaind. So often I will pop on to see what is going on. I don't always post, but I check the forum several times a day.
Evil Appetite Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I'm on a few times during the day...more in the evening. I'm on right now!
Greg Myers Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 This will be a good read for all the bosses out there... I'm retired, OH! you mean my wife ?
Rob Hall Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Too often. Too easy to get online when I work from home (which is most of the time lately).
Harry P. Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Too often. Too easy to get online when I work from home (which is most of the time lately). Same here. Work from home, all work done on the computer, site open all day long. So the answer to how often I come here? Too often!
Darin Bastedo Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Same here. Work from home, all work done on the computer, site open all day long. So the answer to how often I come here? Too often! Well actually, your answer should be "it depends on who is complaining about the moderators" according to them you are either here too much or not enough.
Ramfins59 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Ditto...couldnt have said it better. ......But really, where else can you see people argue about Halloween in February Sorry, but that's one of the posts that I skipped over... IMHO I didn't feel that the subject had anything to do with modeling. You know what they say about Opinions & butt-holes...
uncle potts Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I appear to be an oddball, because I'm only here 3 to 4 times a week.
