CD visits in a Day?

So i'm now addicted to Cd for a while now. Whenever i get back home, First of i sign on my AIM/MSN accounts and then i log on to CD. Not only that, even at work after the rush hour i come back to my work station and log on to CD (luckly the only site which is not blocked by my company filter ).
Other than that, i visit CD every other hour if i'm home. Just wondering how often do you guys visit?

Just out of no where, pelase do mention that if this addiction is a good thing or a bad thing? (I think it depends but still)

Re: CD visits in a Day?

In the morning before school roughly 6:30 now, after school 2:45, late afternoon 5:30, after dinner 7, night 9:30 & 10:15. So roughly 6, sometimes the 9:30 & 10:15 ones blend together and form a large block.

Re: CD visits in a Day?

I usually visit once around 3ish afterschool, then maybe 4-5ish, then I have dinner and get back on. On the weekend I'm on continous. (Well almost, from about 9am-2pm then 10pm-keel over asleep I am, for 2-10 I usually go to a friend's house to hang out) During build I'm almost never on, if there was a graph of my activity, it'd show a constant 1-2ish posts per day from the point at which I joined to build, a steep drop to .3ish for weekdays, 8-9 for the weekend, then slowly up to almost 3 for a while, then a spike to 4-5.

Re: CD visits in a Day?

I don't feel right if I don't at least have a CD tab open. On school breaks, I'm on from when I wake up until I go to sleep. And during school, after school until sleep. CD is my homepage, and my active desktop content, so I see CD as soon as I log on with out waiting. But I wont post from the active desktop . (Its called active desktop in 2000, in XP it's web under Display Properties, Desktop, Customize Desktop, Web Tab)

Re: CD visits in a Day?

I visit between 5 - 15 times a day, depends on the day.
I can be on here for an hour or just several minutes just to see if there's anything interesting going on.

Re: CD visits in a Day?

I usually just leave CD open when I go to school. This way, I can come home, open up my laptop, and hit refresh. I actually check CD in the mornings, usually around 6:30-ish and during my last period of the day, so 2:00-ish.

Re: CD visits in a Day?

I guess saying I just stay logged on is the closest to what I actually do. I'm subscribed to the RSS feed. Periodically my news reader software will check and see what's new at CD (and a bunch of other sites I follow) and present me with headlines. Whenever anything looks interesting I take a further look at the thread and subscribe to it if I find it interesting.

I follow 136 different feeds this way (including some daily comics and not-often-updated blogs of friends); there's no way I could keep up with so many sites without RSS/Atom feeds.

Anywho.. as for me, 10+ probably.
Same reason. Just cause I only have 2.x or 3.x posts per day average.. doesn't mean I only check it 3 times a day.

Re: CD visits in a Day?

I am on alot, it is the first thing in the morning after the news and email reading, at least every 1/2 hour at work, and as long as I am at my home computer browsing a tab with CD in it is always open.

It helps me keep up on what is going on, and as a mod to make sure everything is in line.

Re: CD visits in a Day?

I check it out around 15 times a day. Twice when I wake up, twice at school (4 times if we have meetings and uncountable during build season), and around 7 times at home from evening to night.

Re: CD visits in a Day?

I'm on Chiefdelphi whenever I have access to a computer equipped with the internet. I stay logged in, and I usually check it 12+ times a day while at home. I'm constantly refreshing the page and using the "new posts" search function. It's set as my homepage, and I always have it open in a tab if I'm doing something else.

Before I leave for school in the morning, I'm on from 5:50 - 6:10, and as soon as I get home, I'm on for the rest of the afternoon/night. My post count may not reflect how many times I peruse CD per day, but I'm always up to date with the latest happenings.

Re: CD visits in a Day?

In the offseason (like right now) I will check ChiefDelphi 3-5 times a day, but I stay logged on CD on both of my computers. During the build season, if I don't check CD every two or three hours, I will easily become inundated with the sheer amount of new posts to read through.

Re: CD visits in a Day?

I usually will come on to CD a couple times after I get home from school, and then after 7, I watch an hour or two of CSI, I get on CD for a few hours. I voted 5-10 because I visit 2-5 times a day and then spend a few hours in a row on later in the evening. It does vary, however.
