Thanks for your unique perspectives guys.

60% of the voters in poll do think they're wasting their lives on here. For VGChartz, is that a good thing or bad thing?

I do in fact think that sometimes I am wasting my life on here. I remember this time recently when Jay 520 and I had a conversation on his wall about nothing. This is not a good thing.

It kind of waste my time at work though...

it's good cause we're not going anywhere.

Never felt that. Even when I don't post much, being a part of this site is something I enjoy. I feel that I've learned a lot from the members of this site and by conversing with them in a way that I don't with people I actually see face to face, I feel like I've become a better person. I've "met" people from parts of the world that I'd never visit and preconceived stereotypes have been destroyed as a result.

I've spent a lot of time, here. Sometimes, to the point where I couldn't log off willingly. No regrets, though. I don't watch much TV (and being here is more productive, imho). Don't do a lot of things that could be considered a waste. Don't do a lot of things that are considered destructive, either. Being here is enjoyable. Lastly, I'd like to say that, in a real world setting, my confidence level has jumped a few levels, too. I feel like I can converse with anyone. I feel like I'm informed of things going on in the world. I know which jokes will fly and which ones are best left unsaid. I have a confidence in my spelling an writing ability that comes from posting here on a regular basis. This site has influenced me for the better.

One thing I'd like to add, I'm doing better in my life than I've ever done before. Sometimes, I wonder what I've done to deserve the life I live. Looking at the life I lived back in 2000 or whatever compared to the life I live now is like night and day. My life is awesome. When I look at what's different now that wasn't going on then, only one thing stands out: I joined VGChartz.

Lesson: VGChartz makes your life better.

Little follow up... I failed my test yesterday 68%, but no worries I did manage to pass with an 81%. I dont think I can blame on any website or game at all, just for instance, I was doing some tutorials yesterday, but then I decided to go to sleep and I closed everything I was even getting ready to go to bet, but just for curiosity I opened youtube to see if there was anything interesting, I ended up at 4:00 am watching a woman teaching people how to put on a condom??????... At the end I was like, WTF am I doing??? I closed youtube and there I was... Looking to see if there was anything new on vgchartz!!!! ;9

No. I don't spend that much time on VgChartz.
I do however think I may be addicted to the internet. :(

Doesn't seem to have any effect on World of Warcraft!
If anything, it's good for VgChartz to have people like "us" on their site giving them ad revenue :D

We're not even clicking on the ads, and when we do, it's by mistake oO.

I can totally relate to you menx64, and here's a hug. The number of times I was about to get to bed and "just a little peek" and you're up till really late (almost early).

But I also relate to you D21, cause I've been really doing much better with my confidence in real life thanks to the social interaction here.

Most of all though, I don't like feeling addicted, and especially cutting on diet, sports and sleep due to wanting to stay glued to the keyboard.

But all said, it's pretty 50-50 win-lose for me.

@adobo. It also affects my work productivity, and that's a bad thing.
