I noticed my mouth has been shut a little more these days, a lot more things that I let brush off. I hit 4k posts a while ago and my post count only slowly rises these days.
So in response to Randy, I was trying to make this scientific. If you assume each post you write takes 5 minutes (a little high sure, but not too much), and each thread takes an average of 15 minutes to read, and you average only 3 posts per thread, then I have spent a **** ton of time on the forum...
For Science
I have spent 570 hours actively engaging in discussion on the forum given the assumptions above.
If you assume another 2 hours a day of lurking, then I have spent approximately 3212 total hours on the forum. That equal 133.83 days, 4.5 months, or 37% of a year on the forum over the past almost four years...I need to get out more.
