About two and a half hours is the maximum for me. Typically I spend about 45 minutes here every day.

When I get bored, I either start reading old posts or go to a different forum, which will occupy me for a few more hours.

Anyway, depends on the time of day.  If lots of people are posting, I can spend hours on end here; if it gets late and the new posts start decreasing, I'll resort to reading old posts, go to another forum, etc.  I should clarify that when I'm spending hours on end here, I'm usually on AIM, checking my e-mail, sometimes writing stuff, so I'm not fully obsessed as it may seem.  But yeah, I'm a loser if there ever was one.  This forum is terribly addictive.

I feel similarly, there is no similiar place to discuss politics casually. It's quite a thrill when someone replies to one of my posts.

I usually multitask while reading the forum, so I suppose about as long as I can use the computer.

You make excellent posts, and I always like to respond to them.  I find your posts to be very well thought out, even when I don't totally agree with them.  You can also handle if somebody doesn't totally agree with you, and it's possible to get a good give and take going with you.

There are certain people whose posts I look for, and you are one of them.

As far as how long I can stay on without getting bored, it depends on the quality of the posts by other people.  I tend not to be on all day when I'm working, so I only go on once a day usually.  I can take a little while to read the daily posts that seem interesting, and I can stay on a while if there are active responses taking place.  If not, I don't stay on too long.

Only staying on the forum, maybe 30 minutes. Doing other things in the middle, maybe a few hours.

20 minutes usually.   Of course right now I'm so sad that it's a good distraction.  I've been on an hour and will probably stay another.

I get very bored after a half-hour. Generally, I spend fifteen to twenty minutes on the forum every other day.
