...altough it's quite fun.

I'll sink about it for a time.

This forum used to be more useful and educational when we still had cornucopian vs doomer debates.

Now this place is mostly a time sink. As someone once said here: PO.com is the "Myspace of Apocalypse."

[Tanada]

When I couldn't log in yesterday I actually got some other computer related things caught up. So Yes, this is definatly a time sink which draws me away from other projects.

[RedStateGreen]

Yes, I need to spend more time doing and less reading.

[BigTex]

Horrible time sink compared to certain activities.

However, when compared to watching tv, reading popular fiction or twiddling your thumbs, it's a vastly better use of time.

[hubbertspeak7777777]

YES, but it's somewhat addictive.

[jboogy]

what red state green said, it's not just PO but all the reading I do. Too much while other things get neglected. Positives are I know more (sometimes)useless trivia than anyone I know.

Fifteen minutes a day does not a time sink make. These forums are more like therapy than mere entertainment; it benefits me more than a 15-minute episode of "Metalocalypse."

Learning anything is useful but learning how the future will be and how to survive is never a waste of time. Better than watching soaps or listening to the latest musical drivel.

Open is the best forum on the website IMHO. I spend a ton of time here, and definitely do not consider it a time sink. No more than computers are generally a time sink anyway.

The people to ask are pms and monte, who have obviously spent more time on here than should be permitted by law.

This place is a huge waste of time, but when I use to work as a security card 3 years ago when I found this place, it helped to make the time go easier. That was back when this place was really hopping and there were always great late night conversations to be had. The place has really gone down hill in recent years.
