If I spent as long playing the game as I do on the forum....

I'd be a multi-Corvette-owning megabillionaire by now.

Are you a More-on-the-Forum type of CMDR too?

The main reason for me is that I can have a quick lurk, comment, rep and be gone without having to quit all my work software, browsers, music and, well, mainly work, since I work from home on my only capable PC :(

If I want to play (and have a decent experience) I need to close down all but essentials, plug in the HOTAS (and sometimes the Oculus) and get flying. I can't have a colleague on Skype pinging me as I'm approaching a pad in a Starport, or being interdicted!! Ho Hum. Such is life!

Fly safe!

I certainly spend more time on the forum than in-game, I guess for similar reasons.

I also work from home on my main PC, and the forums are very easy to browse during work without being too distracting - skim the few subforums I follow and my subscribed threads, try not to get lost in DD.

My gaming time itself is split between Elite and my other games - so I use the forums almost every day but maybe only a few Elite sessions a week.

I used to spend quite a few hours trawling the forum a couple of years ago.

Now there's too many quit, whinge & rage threads, so I don't spend anywhere near as long now.

Play much more game time than forum now.

I'm just glad that they don't have an "hours spent of the forums" indicator. It would be embarrassing.

Post count is a good stand in.

T.J. is either winning hands-down or losing horribly, depending on your perspective. ;P

As for me - I don't play Elite while doing other things in general. If I'm playing I'm playing, not multi-tasking.

That said I spend way more time on the forum then I do flying my spaceships. heh heh. Mainly because I can and do multi-task at work. lol.

Playing the game and reading the forum are going hand in hand for me. I couldn't watch all the loading screens and endless miles of empty space without having the forum to browse in between. Oh and there is always music, radio and audio-books too.

Generally you can assume that I am playing Elite too when I am on the Forum. Just sometimes I have the opportunity to go online at work too. But that's scarce. So as I stated elswhere about 50/50 since I am not invested into a lot of combat anymore.

Hmm. I play the game about twelve hours a week. Forums about two to three hours a week. That's at most 20% forum time of my total Elite time. Oddly enough, I don't do the forums on my second screen while in game all that often--that's mostly saved for EDDB! Instead, it's my thing to do at work when I need a break from work.
