Are there any days or times that you most more than others. Occasionally I'll log on when I get to work and there will be like 90 new posts, but when I shut down the night before there were 2.

Mine are mainly at night (Eastern Std Time) and weekends - probably more on the weekends

Umm....(looks around carefully)

Most prolific at work in my spare moments.

I do post a bit from home too, but at home there are guitars and amps and pedals and other distractions from posting ;)

Probably spread out fairly evenly... mostly when I'm awake, but not always :)

I post whenever I get the chance and a thread looks interesting... I joined in April '06 and have close to 2,000, so I guess I'm about average on that end of the spectrum. As the site grows, I notice I have less time to check out threads posted throughout the day, but, hey, that's what makes it exciting.
You can always go back and see what you missed in each category. I find new things all the time that I've missed......and bringing up an old thread, or bumping it to the top is really fun. I try to check out the site early in the morning and late in the evening while I'm working away from home......lots better than wasting time in front of the television.
I'll sneak in a look now and then while at work, now that I've got a laptop.
But it's mostly mornings, nights, and weekends (when I'm not playing guitar).

well when I get to school around 2nd period I ask to go to the library to "do homework from another class" and when I get there I load up a research site and use a bypass site to get on here. so when a teacher walks buy I just switch it and act like I'm doing something important.

Whenever I happen to be by my computer--which is far too often actually.

Depends on what and when someone else has something posted, sometimes I just check in, then come back late in the evening to post.

I post only if/when I feel like I can add some value. Weekdays or weekends, I login usually between 6 & 7 am Pacific, before heading to work or personal business. Then, while winding down from work with or after dinner, around 8-9pm Pacific. After that, it's pickin' and/or reading time.

Glad to know that thefret is contributing to your education, pes.

[geezer on] Get to studying, or I'm telling your dad!

...and stay off of other people's lawns, too. [geezer off]

I post when I have time. Like late at night, when Baby Kat has trouble getting to sleep...

Great reference Warren. Really cool that someone else remembers that. :bravo:

I'm something of a night owl so most of what I post is in the wee hours.

At work most of the time. But, wherever I am, as soon as I start a computer and connect to the internet I type in these words: www.thefret.net

Mainly at work. For the last few months I've been running these day long experiments and there's a lot of down time during them. I'm not working for my boss, I'm working for the owner of my company and he won't let me take on any other tasks until this project is complete.

During the week it's mostly from work. I have too little free time at home and don't often use the computer there. On the weekends it's different.

I don't post much and I don't spend much time reading posts.......just once a day....all day long.......and once a night....from dusk till dawn.

Since I'm one of the retired crowd, I read and post when ever I have the chance. I don't have to squeeze it in during work. Sometimes, it's all day, other times it will be late at night after being out and about for the day.

Gil :cool:

one of my favorite all time albums. I think it started the general decline of my value to society. I had such promise before then....

I can't get to the site at work anymore and nowadays I generally wait until everyone else is asleep, but then that's a lot of my playing time...so sometimes I compromise and just read, but not post.
