How active are you on ZU?

one day i'll be inactive

That's mean, your friends should have spoken to you more often. I have to admit though, the first time I came here my old friends talked to me a lot, but later, I don't know really, but my oldies became so distant. Why cry over spill milk (I love milk) at least I still have new friends to talk to.

Eh, its their deal if they want to or not. I'm not complaining about it, nor forcing them to like me either. It just makes easier when or if I become inactive

I post like 18 times a day?

lol, when ever I am on the internet I am on ZU. It's just where my friends hang out. I usually have the tab open whilst I study or do something else. The only time I don't really log on is when I am with friends. In both instances I am looking for a place to socialise with people.

Well, I've only been here for about a month and a half, but I'm usually on for like an hour every day, usually just lurking the general gaming forum. I've got almost 200 posts, so I'd say I'm pretty active, although not nearly as active as some of you with mega-post counts.

The most active I've ever been on here in posting between 100-150 posts per week back in the summer for a few weeks, when I was in Texas and had precious little else to do with myself after my shift.

Depends on how I am physically! I've been having problems with my knee lately so I've been spending a lot of my time trying to get fit again. It also depends on how much work I have to do. I usually come on this during downtime, whilst I'm playing on my Wii, PS3, watching TV or something completely different, for example I'm watching Family Guy at the moment in bed so I thought "I wonder what them crazy ZUers are up to!".

I AM ACTIVE.

I used to be more active and have dead-periods (when I realised that I actually have life as well); nowadays it's more... balanced? ZU is important, because ~friends~ (who drag me back when I ask for a ban ) and I love the place, but I still manage to keep up with other stuff.

I like it this way. c:

Decently active. I'm on every day and post a few times. It's been eh lately with all the errors and I just give up refreshing.

I'm here all the time, just not always posting.
Although I'm less inclined to get on during the extended periods were no one messages me D:

I think I'm more in-between. When I joined up I wasn't all that active, but at the request of a friend I'm posting a little more often but still not that much.

I haven't been on ZU much the past 2 weeks or so. Usually, it's either I get bored, or certain members make it difficult to like it here. I guess this time, it's a combination of both; I don't know how often I'll be on here anymore for a while either (to whom it may concern). However, I will check this thread to see how it's progressing.

My questions to you are:

Do you ever take breaks from ZU?
If so, why?
How long are these breaks?

Thanks.

I was extremely ill and didn't post on here for a few weeks. Then I took a voluntary 1 week break because of personal reasons that was affecting my contribution to the forums, and I felt like a break would allow me to work on myself and when I'd come back I'd feel refreshed and be back to my normal self. I was, for the most part. I'm enjoying myself a lot more now than I was back then, and that was a month ago, and I feel like I've been a much better poster...so I think breaks can be a good thing.

I just don't understand the whole asking to be banned thing for a break. I would think you'd have the self control to take a break and not post. that's just me though.

Not really. I log on to ZU instead of doing other things, like watching TV.


That said, my activity in general has been down. Between uni, work, the band and love life there hasn't been much me time.

No. My breaks have been very short. I think there was a time I took a break 2 years ago, but it was for only a few days, and I wasn't very active here back then to begin with.

I used to take breaks. They were approximately one month long and then I was back, usually more active than ever.

Nowadays, it's more balanced. I'm not posting-in-my-clan-in-every-second crazy, but I still post often and I spend a nice amount of life on ZU. This way, however, I can still deal with my RL responsibilities as well as not neglect ZU.

I believe this is... a nice way. I don't want to take breaks and I don't think I will; except that one occasion when I'll have my final exams in May. :3

I took a two year break one time. People still don't know who I am. Other than that, I've been a fairly consistent poster.

I really just have periods of time where I don't post much. Right now I'm coming off of one, since I've been super busy with my schoolwork and girlfriend. I've been thinking of things and then wondering "What would -Username Here- at ZU think of this?" and it's made me miss making 10 posts per day.

Yes, but it's not something I plan or anything, like "Enough ZU now, time for a break." It comes and goes what I do here. Most of the time I hang around a lot and only post a little. Sometimes I start being pretty active and post a lot, and it lasts for a few weeks. Sometimes I just stop coming. Not sure why I stop, maybe there have been no interesting enough topics for a while, or I've been too busy to get into any discussions, or I'm just bored and hang out on a different forum for a change. I'm away from a few weeks to few months, until I start checking back and occasionally posting again, ending up back to my normal lurking ways eventually.

Right now it has been a while since I've done much here, weeks at least. I've been checking back a few times a week, and even posted a bit, but nothing has really caught me. I doubt anyone notices my wavy pattern of activity anyway, there's a lot of people here.

I have to sleep sometimes.

I've only ever taken a couple breaks, not including the 3+ year span of time in which I forgot about ZU during the rigors of trying to climb the social ladder in High School.

Asking to be banned was a good way for me to separate myself from here in order to refocus on things IRL, as well as a family issue. And I feel addicted to this place sometimes, though not as often in recent weeks, as I see people leaving and/or becoming inactive.
