That's what I was thinking. We do need a lower amount too so the ppl who aren't on here all the time can still poll. I'm on here anywhere's from 1 to 8 hrs a day...every once in a blue moon I take a little break.

Those options look good. I fall in the 2-4 90% of the time. The other 10% is long days of work like 12-16 hrs. So I just do a 10 minute scan or pas a day up.

Nope, I like like your addition madhat. If I were married I'd fall into that category for sure.

I drive my truck about 3 hours every work day. Sometimes more, sometimes less on weekends. I log on to DTR when I'm at work and I check "New Posts" pretty much every hour; well at least when I'm working in the office that is.

I have a problem, more mods would cure it though

p.s. +The post count should be changed to an hour meter. I would look like a pro then

Well my truck is daily driver, weekend racer and general utility vehicle. I have a Suzuki Sidekick in the garage that I have not driven on the street in 6 weeks now, LOL. Just can't make myself drive that thing and leave the truck in the driveway.

I usually check the site 2 or 3 times a day for new posts/PMs/etc. I also check two other sites the same way and a few others maybe every other day or so.

On the weekends I can spend anywhere from 2-3 hours a day driving and sometimes trips are up to 6 hours a day.

I have no female to dictate my time any more and I like it that way.

I had to choose the last one by default.... I am at work 8 hours a day, and DTR is usually open for those 8 hours... I dont get on much at home - but a couple times a week probably.

I spend more time on here than I do my truck since i broke my leg two weeks ago. It sure hurts to push that stinkin clutch in and I shouldn't be driving with these meds anyways.

my wife used to complain now she just walks by to see if its **** i think. just can't see why i would want to read about diesels and folks. nudity has to be there someplace. to be honest when times get me down i usually get a good laugh or distraction reading here and on a couple other pickup web sites. thanks

My wife had it out with me about my time here a few months ago... So I had to spend less time at home on the puter... But when I'm at work (nights) I've got some free time, so here I am.

And I admitted to being an addict to this place before I even bought my truck. Learned SOOOO much from alot of great guys. Don't know how this stuff got done before Al Gore invented the internet...
