Ho ho ho.

I must say I pretty much do the same, usually. That is, keeping the Downs open even when I'm off doing something else. I sometimes just leave it open on my computer as I go downstairs or somewhere else.

Same here. So don't go taking that Who's Online list too seriously, or there might be some times it looks like I'm here all day!

I never even look at the Who's Online list! But then, it took me a good 2 years to find it in the first place

Thanks for all the answers guys, and especially thanks to Hookbill! My time is about half of yours! Well, when not ill. I think this week I've been on here about 8 or 9 hours each day!

What can I say? I have no social life and have no intentions of getting one. If nothing else, it saves vastly on money.
But when I'm not on the Downs, I'm usually doing something Downs related (mostly photo-shopping )

I usually like to be invisible for just this reason -- I hate having to remember to log out, and then have to log back in... so if I'm invisible I can leave myself logged in 24/7 without people wondering have I lost my mind. It never logs me out automatically, I wonder why.... Anyway, right now I'm visible because I'm modding werewolf and I figured my players would like to know if I'm online should they have a question or whatever. I'm not sure they actually care, but I decided to go the extra mile if anyone does. Of course, I have not been remembering to log out every time, but oh well.

Freaks. Weirdos. You're all sick! (Well, some of you.)

If I have nothing else to do then I'll often hang around, drifting among the corpses. But you want an average? Well, I certainly come here every day. Average? Less than an hour.

I know that Hookbill is on at all times. Maybe it just so happens that he's on when I'm on I used to tell myself.

Yeah, right. I'd say he's severely HOOKED.

I feel like an outcast! I don't go on as much as I used to, hence my decline in RPG posts - generally probably about, ooh, 3 hours a week? So about as much as most people apparently go on in a day... It used to be much more: last year and the year before, my 'glory days', I was probably logging about for about 3-6 hours per day, but then AS-Levels started to feature in the equation, along with multiple commitments; it's been than usual more recently, but I went for a few weeks without the Downs - but yeah, my time probably averages about 2-5 hours per week.

Of course, as I have no really strong excuse such as marriage (if you have a look at the Memorial of Members thread - congratulations to Ithaeliel, much as it is bizarre to be wishing someone of almost my own age that; I'm so glad you've found someone who makes you that happy), you may commence the throwing of projectile objects for such shameful Downs disloyalty

Werewolf sickness. (At least in my case. ) It's highly contagious and a devil to cure.

Aman, speaking of Downs disloyalty, I've been known to be gone for months at a time.

Well, well, well. I'm not usually online every day. (About four days a week or so, it depends.) When I am, it varies from 1˝ hour to 5 hours. With werewolfing even more.

Lhunardawen has been trapped in the Barrow!
During my first two years, I'm here for only 2-3 hours (or so) a week. Every weekends. When I'm temporarily released from *ehem* prison. Come fourth year, though, I managed to sneak in every now and then during Com Sci class. Hahaha. Where's that evil smilie?

After graduating from high school, it's 2-3 hours (or so) everyday. Or at least I try to be here everyday. Saturdays are especially hard since I'm sometimes away the whole day. I occasionally work offline, too - for Green Dragon posts or replies to long PMs.
