Partisan Ograe	Posted - 2006.01.05 05:05:00 - [1] Now I don't know if its just me, but I sure get the impression the vast majority of you people go to work and are on these forums pretty much all day. Now, I get this impression for multiple reasons. 1.) Every WTB and WTS post (in their proper forum channels ofcourse) is first responded to in a matter of minutes from posting with a response that goes something like... "I have what your looking for and will contact you in game when I get home from work later" and "I'll contact you with an offer when I get home in a bit" respectively. 2.) There are those of you who seem to post on the forums non-stop day in and day out. Now I can understand posting all day for a day or two on you days off while playing Eve (ofcourse) but many of yalls habits can not be explain as suched. 3.) Its Eve and I know how addictive it is. Forums included. Also, it fits in nicely with my personnal belief in the intentional gradual decrease in productiveness for society as a whole. But thats a whole other discussion. So, anywayz, my question to all of you forum goers is.... Do you surf these forums while at work? So, I like mining, whats the big deal?

Redd Sectoray	Posted - 2006.01.05 05:12:00 - [3] Edited by: Redd Sectoray on 05/01/2006 05:13:07 He means mining and hauling. EDIT: Oh, and btw... wish I could, but the MOD has some weird hangup about connecting our networks to the Internet.

Tripoli	Posted - 2006.01.05 07:15:00 - [10] No. They track all internet activity though every computer in the company, including anything looked at via VPN or whatever. I tried it once to see what would happen. Got a nice e-mail from IT mentioning my visit to eve-online.com, when and for how long I was on. Last time I ever did that. ---

Do you surf these forums while at work? yes .. 90 procent iam at work doing this forum. --------------------------------------------> Eve is all about fun, fun and more fun. Why whine. Just adapt.
Omber Zombie	Posted - 2006.01.05 07:57:00 - [14] i spend most days forum whoring while at work - luckily i am the boss ---------------------- Originally by: Seleene I maintain that OZ is evil and have nothing further to add.
Dri Kulsane	Posted - 2006.01.05 08:24:00 - [15] I was a teacher for a the past few years, so I had more time than the students to forum *****. Now I'm sitting a deskjob, so not so much. I actually never use the forums while I'm online at home, just don't have the time for it.
Garoth	Posted - 2006.01.05 08:27:00 - [16] The only free time I have to visit the forums is while I'm at work I do limit my browsing time to between 9 and 5.30 though, so thats OK.
Kinsy	Posted - 2006.01.05 08:31:00 - [17] If you can't play...why the hell not. If i had something to do at the godforsaken hour I turn up for work every morning then i'd do it. Otherwise staring at a telephone just incase it rings...naaah.
sonofollo	Posted - 2006.01.05 08:34:00 - [18] hehe what if u are the IT boss then no one knows or cares :) as long as u fix things and deliver results Im a happy little camper now - CCP 4tw.
Malthros Zenobia	Posted - 2006.01.05 08:37:00 - [19] I'll be honest I don't work, and I don't go to school... Gradutation and no good job offers + student loan payments ftl. Guess grad school starts soon enough though...
Takahashi Clutch	Posted - 2006.01.05 08:41:00 - [20] I work 1pm-10pm M-F, but as a bonus, I get to play eve at work from 6pm-10pm. Then after work, I go home an play more eve. :)

I tried it once to see what would happen. Got a nice e-mail from IT mentioning my visit to eve-online.com, when and for how long I was on. Last time I ever did that. Install a spam filter. ;-) tbh, this would actually make me visit eve-online over and over again. I would even consider writting a script for it which automatically visits a few websites every now and then.
Zolofine	Posted - 2006.01.05 08:54:00 - [22] I'm a salesman. Sell only the finest cr4ck. Only have to work 1-2 a month, good pay, loyal customers, good retirement plan and loads of time to play EVE!
Saint Viper	Posted - 2006.01.05 08:57:00 - [23] What ever could you mean :) Ive even got Eve installed on my work pc lol
TheJay	Posted - 2006.01.05 08:57:00 - [24] Advantage of being a net admin is that I control who can see what, and nobody monitors me
Zuki Ed	Posted - 2006.01.05 09:00:00 - [25] I do it mostly at work. But I'll be going back to school in a month again. So I'll be playing more EVE instead of forum whoring I cna ytpe 300 wrods pre mniuet!!!
Kuolematon	Posted - 2006.01.05 09:03:00 - [26] Originally by: Saint Viper What ever could you mean :) Ive even got Eve installed on my work pc lol Naturally, how else you change skills on your multiple accounts? Azuriel Talloth: If it ain't broke, change it so it mildly annoys the playerbase
Mysterious Stranger	Posted - 2006.01.05 09:03:00 - [27] I don't work anymore as I'm focusing on school. But by focus I guess I really mean PLAYING Eve during class... What a horrible habit I know. I was lucky last semester and got excellent grades (it was one of my best semesters ever) but I decided I have to focus this semester. The browsing of forums? Yeah, I'm guilty of that as well. Laptops are a wonderful yet horrible thing... I'm trying to stop myself from connecting to the network in class now. (Although it's hard as lecture notes are posted online before class too) lol. Geez, decisions, decisions. Thankfully I'll be graduating May 2007 :) ------------------------------------------- "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who

James Lyrus	Posted - 2006.01.05 09:13:00 - [29] I have a day job. My PC isn't up to running EVE. However, forum browsing? Yes. And I have VNC running on my home PC, so I can connect to there, to change skills and AFK haul. -- Lyrus Associates is recruiting
Arron S	Posted - 2006.01.05 09:15:00 - [30] I work on a Dairy Farm or at school when I am not on EVE.. Wish I would work and play EVE at the same time, like one guy in my corp does.
