How long are you usually online the forum?

[EpicEnergy 22,074]

On an average day, I'd say I'm on these forums for around 1-3 hours. I've been on much longer though on some days.

[Phosphor 11,522]

I pretty much only visit during cloudy weather and usually for a couple hours. 

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

Probably up to an hour most days. On days where I post in a bunch of topics, maybe a little over two.

[Oblivion 20,265]

Depends sometimes forever and sometimes hardly at all. 

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

About an hour at most at a time. Depending on how busy I am I may log in multiple times a day or none at all.

I’m normally pretty active on the forum, but with school taking up a lot of my time now sometimes I can only log in once. It’s pretty sad, I love spending time here! 

[Fasu 550]

That's ever-changing -there are usually long gaps between activity but for a day, maybe from hour to few hours.

[RaraLover 10,410]

I try to go online at least once a day, though a busy day can prevent me from doing so. I usually spend a couple of hours online a day.

[Clawdeen 12,109]

It depends on how I’m feeling and if it’s a day I have off work.

[Sophie 877]

Checking in now and then 

[Savygriffs 5,021]

Depends on how I'm feeling and how busy I am, but usually an hour or so. Enough time to check the few notifications I get and maybe chat with some people.

Same here  

[DubWolf 16,606]

Pretty often. I have nowhere else to really go. Probably at least 2 hours worth, browsing, posting..

[Splashee 28,537]

I never log out. So always online

[nataalya 38]

For me, this is based on the activity of other users. Sometimes I spend an hour a week and sometimes I can spend a few hours a day. I like to share my thoughts - I do it often because I want to become more self-aware and writing helps me a lot with that. It helps me fix my thinking and make the right decisions. I'm not a person who thinks too much, but forum topics are a place where I can do it for a while.


Thanks to the forum, I am up to date with what is happening on the show. I follow a lot of series and don't have much time to be engaged in one.  Besides, I like to get to know other people's opinions and learn new things. Unless they are naive and hit my foundation. I don't force anyone to think my way. And I don't want to be forced too. Much of my messages are written only for me.  I'm glad when someone agrees with it. Even more so if someone shows me something new or develops what I have known so far.

I mean, I usually leave the mlpforums tab open (along with a million other tabs) while I do other things but I would say I probably spend on average half an hour a day actively doing hints on he forums.

[Bronymian Rhapsody 7]

Here? I guess anywhere from 20-90 minutes a day. I haven't been apart of a forum since Equestria closed down four years ago, so checking in on a message board is kinda of a weakned skill for me right now.

[Wingnut 6,729]

Back in the day, meaning 2012 through 2014, I’d easily spend two to three hours a day here.  Nowadays it’s typically 10-20 minutes, if I log on at all.  

[Pandora 38,004]

on the forum not so much.. discord however.. A lot

[Clawdeen 12,109]

I’m not on here very much anymore

[Splashee 28,537]

Even in my dreams sleeping at night it seems.

[CinnamonPop 3,341]

I take loooooooooooooong breaks with short peaks of activity to catch up on the people I do care about.

The forums used to be a secondary home to talk to people and mess around in the Forum Lounge or Forum Games if not going around and booping people on their profiles just to get them to respond. I was a muffin for about 6 years because that's what I usually did here when I was much more active when G4 was slowly losing momentum. Then I became a Kirin and I can takeover the first page of the Forum Games with no issue whatsoever!

Is that a challenge? 

I spend around 2-3 hours on the forums daily. But it doesn't mean I am actively here, more like - it's running in the background and I check on it whenever I see a notification appearing. 

As far as actively posting is concerned - I would say around 30 minutes  

[Lunaholic 892]

From 5 to 15 minutes a day

[Splashee 28,537]

I find myself here when I can't sleep, or when I should be sleeping
