What would your internet 'life' be like without forums?

by **AkydefGoldberg** » Dec 28, '13, 1:37 pm

I spend quite alot of time on the internet, maybe abit too much but a chunk of that time is probably on forums.

I seem to have a routine of web browsing. I check my e-mails first, then catch up on the sports, national and international news on the BBC/Sky Sports websites, then check the forums (I view this and another student forum I visit regularly and used to have another one that I checked out that died recently), then some Facebook/Twitter checks.

That order has been changed admittedly lol. But if I didn't go onto forums, I'd probably say I'd spend it more reading online and playing games or something.

I can't say I regret joining forums tbh - they're a great place to engage, debate, discuss etc and 'meet' sound people. And provides funnier moments (and weirdos) at the same time.

Discuss.

Twitter and Porn, admittedly.

Surely you do that already anyway? But maybe on a lesser scale lol

Oh yeah of course but without this place I'd spend much less time online.

I'd just spend more time on Twitter and YouTube.

Does Reddit count as a forum? If not, my time spent there would just increase.

Same. I guess it kind of is a forum, though.

Would probably just be Youtube and Facebook. I do love a good forum, so it's nice we have this one here.

This is the only forum I go on. My internet time is spent on Facebook and YouTube. So maybe I'd get 10 minutes of free time back.

Unless, like Tim said, Reddit is a forum. That would change things. Damn you GNR for showing that site to me.

Well I spent the last year without a forum to call home, so I can give you first hand account. Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and Reddit in equal measure...that's honestly it. I suppose my porn consumption went up a bit as well. :lol

I'd have way more time to masturbate.

Screw you guys.

I've just started to masturbate over you guys to make up for lost time.

Well not sure maybe spend more time on Facebook or play video games. I only spend less then an hour a day or forums anyways so there no lost there.

Well I might spend more time here if it gets more popular and topics that interest me but for now I am happy that I don't waste to much time.

At one point I was spending a lot of time on forums, nowadays I still use them but in moderation rather than the excessive amount of time I once spent using them which is good. That said, I still probably spend too much time on the internet. If i'm not on a forum i'm usually on Facebook/Twitter, reading the news, looking for recipes or playing games on Googulator.

Not too different, this is one of the only forums i visit and its not that frequent. I use internet primarily for video games, and facebook.

When I'm not here, I'm surfing reddit.com/r/chiliadmystery or Facebook. Otherwise, I'm playing Minecraft or GTA: Online.
