Topic: e621 is starting to become a hobby for me

Posted under Off Topic

I was on a vacation trip for 6 days without Wifi, so when I came back I had 28 pages (of 160 posts) to catch up with, so to say 4480 posts. It took 7 hours, but I managed to do so.
Now, I don't know what I should feel about this. e621 is indeed important to me, but is it getting bad for me or not? Also, how much time do you guys spend here?

3-4h a day, sometimes more, sometimes less. I'm also pretty certain I've looked at atleast 70% of all content.

I don't really know how many hours/day i spend here.

But i do leave the tab open in occasion that i get bored of other things and just want to see new posts/search new pics to upload/start tagging things, its weird but its fun.

I'm here every day for anything between 1 and 6 hours depending on how much stuff I have to do.

My mate chides me for being on "that purple site" all the time, then gets on buzzfeed and reads any new articles/quizzes since the day before.

So I suppose it could be worse.

Same here, I find it relaxing

Definitely. Browsing and tagging posts with some good music on in the background has a certain therapeutic quality to it. :)

Quite a bit more than I should

Since 2014 rolled around I've usually been on here at least two hours a day, though some days not at all, but most of the time. I'd call it more of a moderate addiction than a hobby.

Uh.... I'm here most of the day... browsing sruff every now and then (always with my pants on, fyi) and reading blips (furballs, you always find good stuff, girl! n_n )...

I've actually been using e926 more than e621 lately

It's funny because I've had rating:s in my blacklist for almost a month now.

I use it mostly for post sorting. It's a huge chunk of posts (800+ pages) and it needs to stay squeaky clean. When I'm done going through rating:q and rating:e it's a lot easier to go through rating:s and pull out anything that doesn't belong there along the way.

It's gonna get a bit dull now though since there are ~70 pages with no genders left, almost all under rating:s; unfortunately going through them isn't as entertaining as rating:q and rating:e. :/

I just open it on browser, browse images, fav the ones I like, then I check the usual forum/blip gossip, usually doesn't take me more than 20-30 minutes, so I tend to check the site while I wait for a match in online games.
It takes me more if I'm going to upload as I do a deep research to make sure I have the best image, the artist is not DNP, etc.
I change tags on posts, so I only conform myself to fix things that cannot be ignored (bad tagging, wrong species, situations, etc.).

My daily computer to-do list:
1. Turn on laptop
2. Open Youtube
3. Open e621
4. Do stuff for hours
5. Check the tickets
6. Close laptop
7. Sleep
8. Repeat

Too much.
Dunno if I'd call it a hobby or an addiction.
I don't really spend as much time on here as I used to, and I don't use the site for any sexual purposes anymore, it's all just about reposting stuff from weasyl, furaffinity and tumblr these days.

I've been vacationing for a bit, but it used to be around 4-8 hours per day for me.

Most of the worst mistaggers have been banned, and tagging in general has improved a lot. So there's no longer quite the same sense of urgency for getting things done.
