[GK_5]

How much time do you spend on ITRC forum?

[John Dvorchak · Accepted solution]

About 2 hours a week.

[Patrick Wallek]

A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Steven E. Protter]

Too much.

I think I'm averaging 12 hours a week at home after working hours.

Add to that my answers today STUNK!

Its is fun though and I've learned a lot.

Generally, 30 hours a week. Every once in a while the damn job interferes, otherwise it would be 40 hours!

I spend my work day looking over the forums on-and-off, so probably spend anywehre between 2 - 5 hours every working day looking at posts and responding.

GMT+10 is a slow timezone for business hours though, especially over in the Linux forums.. ;)

[Zigor Buruaga]

Hi,

20-25 hours a week.
I'm also connected at work, so when I have free time I can learn more things about HP-UX, servers, ... English ;-)

I love this forum!

Kind regards,
Zigor

[T G Manikandan]

10-15 hours a week!

[Mark Grant]

IT an ongoing thing! Spare moment at work, perhaps an hour or so some evening bringing me somewhere into the 15-20 hours per week mark.

It's amazing how much you learn, not just reading other peoples solutions but even coming up with solutions yourself.

[Alexander M. Ermes]

Hi there.
About 10 hours a week.
But i think, i saw some people, which must be connected through a neural interface, because if you check their times of postings and responds, it will cover all day.

It's feast or famine with me, it all depends on what projects are going on at work.
When I'm busy I just try to keep up w/ posts that catch my interest 1-2 hrs.
When I'm in between things I could spend the whole work day except when somebody rudely interupts me with a question.

Same thing at home, I try to check in each night before bed to see any posts that I may learn from (which is most of them).

hi,

why such a question? ;)

For me, it's on average: 5 to 15 mins a day

[Claudio Cilloni]

some minutes scattered over the working day... just some clicks over 'reload' button to give a look at new threads.

[V. Nyga]

Hi,

logging in at work in the morning and leaving in the evening (after 8 up to 10 hours).
Reading and writing in ITRC between 1 and 5 hours per day.
It depends on avialability of internet and quantity of papers at my desktop.

Great forum!!

GMT -2 in summer and -1 in winter

[Alex Glennie]

Not enough compared to a month or so ago due to a new job role within the UKRC. Currently a couple of hours a week if I'm lucky ..... I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms and I'm only here today because I'm training over in France ;-)

[V. Nyga]

Da**ed
GMT +2 and +1
:-))

[Umapathy S]

Hi,
Normally throughout the day I will keep looking into forums and refreshing totalling 3 hrs per day which is 15-20 hrs a week. This is on a busy schedule.
If its free, then only forums and nothing else.

cheers

[James Specht]

I spend 5-10 hours a week on the forum. There is sooo much information here that I consider it time well spent!

[Jeff Schussele]

Hi GK,

Fun question.

Personally, I only forum.............to excess.

I don't know for sure, but probably avg about 15-20 hrs/week.
But I consider it totally training time - well spent if you ask me.

Cheers,
Jeff

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

Robert-Jan.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Very much depends. Between 2 and 5 hours a week.

For me a lot of the Forum related activities happen outside of the forum: my site (https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/ or http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/) and the statistics.

If you counts those in, well, uhhh, let's just say that I do not exercise `acitive waiting' :) when building gcc and such

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

[Raynald Boucher]

1 to 2 hours a week.

I don't contribute much because the answers are usually already posted and I can't improve on them.

Good stuff.

Thanks to all of you.
Ray.

[Marco Santerre]

I'm logged on to the forums between 20-30 hours a week.. but I must be spending between 4-10 hours really looking and searching.. sometimes answering..

[Bryan D. Quinn]

I keep the forums up all day and refresh every fifteen to twenty minutes. I just make quick scans to see what I want to read and what I might be able to respond too. Unfortunately, with a 10yr old, 7yr old and 14 month old at home, I don't have time to scan the forums outside of work.
The forums keep me in check with how much I have to learn. Extremely helpful and at times very humurous. Thanks to everybody here!
