Title: My Most Awesome Week?
Post by: Ancient Sim on 2006 February 20, 14:00:11
OK, it's happened, and here's the proof:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v734/jools1953/MATY.jpg)

Should I be worried - seriously?  I mean, the site hasn't been here that long, yet I've spent A WHOLE WEEK OF MY LIFE ON IT???  What does that say about me?  Shouldn't I be spending my time doing more awesome things, or is this the most awesome thing I could be doing? 

I'm presuming there are those amongst us who can beat this, which may go some way to making me feel better, but please reassure me by completing the poll.  Thank-you!

Not only can I beat this time, here are several people who have beat it (including Venusy, who has been here more than a month!)

Oh, I know there'd be worse than me, but I didn't think there'd be ones as bad as this!  I see that Brynne has basically spent a month on the site, which bearing in mind the fact that she's younger than me, is much worse really, percentage of our lives wise and all that.

Just how long has this site been in operation?  Since around last September?  If that's the case, the people on this list have spent something like 20% of their time here.  So, if the site had been here since they were born ... doesn't bear thinking about really, does it. 

I'm off to play TS2.  Or maybe I should do something else.  No, I can't, I have to graduate Virginia today.  Alfred is waiting in the Family Bin.  Have to get my priorities right.

Hehheh, mine shows I've been here for nearly 14 days. I often keep my browser up almost the entire time I use computer and have five to ten tabs open at once, this one being one of them, so that accounts for a lot. Just imagine if I never put my laptop on sleep mode... :D

THat's not enough to cause constant connectivity. Since MATY doesn't push any refreshes, and HTTP is inherently stateless, the system only considers you "online" in 15 minute slices or so. Meaning even if you leave your computer open all the time, you are not "online" unless you actually click on something here. Sorry, you're really that lifeless, man.

By the way, Ancient Sim, you know by saving all those messages that you've hit your limit of 20, right?  No one can send you any more until you delete some.

I agree with Inge, I want a 'thank you this is great' option because I think I've been here since July and was kind of worried about my 3 days & 22hours here until I saw this... heh heh

Oh my lord, and I got depressed when I hit over a day.

If I had a box like that to tell me the amount of my life I've spent on the whole Internet, I'd probably just kill myself.

My lips are fully intact as well.  I mostly lurk about, so I suppose that is why.  I sooooo long to have my lips ripped.

Only 3 days 9 hours for me. But I do spend a lot of time playing the game.

I actually thought about it the other day and realized that right now the majority of my life is spent involved some way with the Sims 2. I'm a SAHM,  so I do have the time but lately my life has been: play Sims 2, read forums, work on Sims2 database, play more Sims. Do a little laundry, pay some bills, nag my daughter about her homework, play some more Sims.

This is a bit scary to me. I mentioned this to DH and all he said was, "Don't worry, you're not the only one."

It's pretty sad when you wake up in the morning and your first thought is, I wonder if I have enough time to play Sims before going to work.

Bah, I don't even have that many posts and I still have 2d:05h:02m on how much time I've been here.  I'm starting to wonder if I'm spending more or less time on here per day than some people.  Oh well, better here than some other forums that I know of.


Title: Re: My Most Awesome Week?
Post by: aussieone on 2006 February 20, 22:27:15
10 days, 22 hours and 24 minutes for me....

I have the luxury of being my own boss, so I can spend as much time as I like reading and posting, except when I get 'interrupted' by damn pesky customers!!  ;)

Something's wrong with that, then. I've been on for 30 days? I haven't even been in town the entire last 30 days. I don't have the power to refresh my browser every 15 minutes from out of state with no computer to do it on! I'm good, but I ain't that good.

Unless my cats are that good. Maybe they've been doing a little Maty surfing.

30 days in entirety, Brynne, not consecutively.  :-*  But I'm almost there with you!

I realized something about my count too.  This account is my second one, and the first one had like 6 days on it or so.  So, really, it's about 26 days altogether.  :-[

Post by: ElviraGoth on 2006 February 20, 22:49:53
5 d, 22 h, 41 min.  And I thought THAT was a lot!

However, I know I don't post a lot, mostly read and get some good info or a good laugh!

Ah, okay. I can see that, then. If I was here for 30 consecutive days, then I would have to have myself committed.

uh, what? This site does *not* disconnect me after 15 min. I leave my computer on all the time, use a push in my email to keep it connected (as I'm on dial-up) and might check it in the morning, then leave for work, and it's still connected when I get home at night (somewhere between 9 & 10 hours later). And logging that time, near as I can tell (I've got 15 days, 9 hours, 41 min.). I don't play the sims from this computer, and when someone else does something else on this one while I'm off playing sims, it's just minimized, so it's up most all the time. I promise, I'm not clicking anything from work - I log in from my work computer at lunch sometimes and it has (as it should) a different IP log.

Even sadder if you wonder whether you have time to check out MATY and squeeze in just 10mins so that you can let [insert name of sim] get further through uni or have that baby ;D 

Only 1 day, 21 hours so far but I've only been here since 8 Dec - I'm working on it  :)

I thought it was 10 posts per set of lips?  If so, I have 10 more posts to go. 


Title: Re: My Most Awesome Week?
Post by: BlueSoup on 2006 February 20, 23:25:21
Nope, you start out with 5 and get an additional 5 for each set of lips.

I'll test it right now and try to send you a PM.

Edit: This is the message I got:  PM could not be sent to 'Ancient Sim' as their inbox is full!

You can play the Sims before work - and get to work afterwards? ???

Wow. If I tried that, I'd be out of a job pretty quickly...

Funnily enough, it isn't that hard to do. I have a timer which sits in front of my monitor and I decide how much time I have to play e.g. 1/2 hr in the morning and maybe 2hrs at night.  You do have to be firm with yourself though and when that alarm goes off you have to finish.
