    Default How often do you check this forum?

    How often do you check this forum?? I got to the point where I check it every half-hour. Do I have an addiction disorder or this is just normal? I'd like to know the statistics. Please vote

    the truth hurts. More often than I manage to use the camera.

    I too have become addicted.

    Ok, the survey is a bit biased, but only on the last option.

    I'm an immoderator, so I have to keep checking to make sure there are some new posts for me to randomly edit and delete.

    I start worrying . . . my wife has found me roaming this Forum already twice a day. I made precautions that she will not find out, I visit the Forum at least 4 times a day.
    Is there a live after this Forum?

    I completely lost track of the time when I'm in the forum. Now I'm late for school.
    How does RSS work for this forum? I used google sidebar but it doesn't update by the minute. Is there a better way to have live content?

    twoneil - how could anyone that has an hv20 not be addicted to this forum or the camera for that matter. i'm sure everybody is in a different situation as to how often they can check this forum. i can't tell you how many times my boss has walked up to my cubicle to see this forum up. i look at it as a learning tool even though I just keep peoples desktops (about 120) here at work going, I find just touching base with any technology associated with computers is good for my knowlege. We actually now do some live webcasting here where I work and also capture all of our "all staff meetings" to a wmv file for on demand viewing by deployed staff.

    i use the "new posts" tool everytime i log on here and am simply amazed at how fast new posts accumulate.

    Mal - where you the one that came up with the idea for this forum? when did it officially go online? what brought you to the point of starting this forum? how do you feel about it's success? you realize that i'm asking these questions to get you to post since you rarely do anymore.

    Yep, I'm here so often my wife was getting concerned I was chatting to some sweet young thing. When I showed her it was for "our" hv20, her reply was, "Point. Shoot. What else is there? Boys and their toys!".....sigh......

    Now it's, "Why isn't the film of our son's wedding ready?" Let's see, 3 hours of tape, 90,000+ stills every person with a digital camera has sent me......just shoot me.....

    Oh, and here's a good one from last night.....she wanted to Google Earth her folk's house in Leicester last night, hoping to see them walk out the back door to the patio (gee, must be 3 am there)....just wouldn't believe me when I explained she'd be lucky if the pic hadn't been taken years ago. Nope, the girls at the office (where she works in front of computers all day) said it was real time. Where do they get this stuff? I kept bursting out laughing all night, she wasn't amused.

    I had to check 4X a day as being normal, but when I'm looking for answers or responses to a topic I'm interested in, it's easily every 1/2 - 1 hour, or if I'm extremely bored......lol

    #pardon my french, but i can't put it any other way
    I'm a total forum slut

    The only problem with this forum is that there are soooo many experts here so i have to think twice before posting anything

    I also check this forum secretly without logging in.
    I can't live without my daily cravings of HV20.com

    I am so sick. I just took a 2 weeks vacation to Hong Kong and China. I checked hv20.com whenever I'm in the hotel. I need help.

    While on vacation, I think you need to limit it to twice a day Taky.

    Ok, looking at our statistics, checking the forum twice a day is considered normal. I will now try my best to check only when I wake up in my morning and before I go to sleep.

    I will divert my HV20 forum cravings to reading my old encyclopedia books. Wish me luck and good health.

    search 'Workrave' in google. good stuff.

    I used to check this page constantly when I was looking for a price deal on the HV20. Now I, well, I still check it numerous times a day to see what new things I can learn about the HV20.
