People who have no life and spend all their time on Pianostreet

[amanfang]

I went to lunch with Thalberg the other day, and we were discussing people who have no life and spend all their time on Pianostreet.  Thalberg is one of them (at the moment).  What do some of you do (or not do) all day that allows you be to be on Pianostreet all day long?

i am getting close to being on here for 20 days. But I don't waste my time hitting the log out button so i think that might take up half of it. pianostreet is boring. all the threads are the same old stuff repeated over and over...so right now i am just focusing on my denial that school is starting.

Then why don't you leave and never come back, like Phil and Mozartian did?

Does anyone here actually spend ALL of their time on Pianostreet? I don't think that even the member who has contributed the maximum number of posts here does that!

For example, I'm not convinced that it is possible to read the Bible and be actively on Pianostreet simultaneously...(slaps own wrist for mentioning the book in a context where its possible relevance is at best dubious)...

Best,

In fact, if I am on ps for 5 minutes and then leave, it would show me as "online" for up to 30 minutes after I have left I have realised it when I came back, having been logged out already, with a different browser.  So it would count all this time too, where you are not actually online.

I think the same parallels could be drawn from people that are supposed to be internet game addicts as well. The only thing that this forum and the multitude of addicting games have in common is the socializing factor, to which many people are drawn. If you would notice, most of the discussion is held in the "Anything" room. Simply put, if this forum is just a repetition of itself, and no meaningful conversation about piano could be drawn, there should be no reason why any normal person would want to stick around here for many hours. I think that those people that do spend alot of time here maybe do not have "real" friends or persons to communicate with, so they feel more at home with people here, who may never hurt the person. If you want members here to spend alot less time online, simply eradicate the "Anything" room. I don't think that that is happening anytime soon as this forum is a business nonetheless and people's online participation is economy, especially from the gold membership people. That is why I don't think Nils would be so rash in banning the top posters of the board, for obvious reasons.

I think I've spent a bit too much time online.

now that it's summer I'm on for a few hours alternating between reading all of the ultramodernism threads and myspace. (but mostly myspace)

I'm online more than I practice.

Ugh - I dunno, I live in the middle of nowhere and am incredibly busy, yet somehow I find time to get on here a couple times a day. . . But it's summer, and the heat index is high as you-know-what, so there's my excuse.

It's nice though, talking about all of the politically incorrect (yeah, like there's such thing as politically "correct") things that I can't talk to anyone around here about.
