crewcut Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 How many hours a day or week etc do you spend on ThaiVisa? Do you think that it is healthy for you to spend this amount of time, scanning recent posts, reading text from a computer screen? Does any part of your life outside of ThaiVisa suffer because of this? Your thoughts please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullx8 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 headache just from the ads slows down dramaticly the spped and the apearance of the site ... i would be happy to pay for ads free version (and well this would generate some serious income .. as i anyway never click on a banner) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does any part of your life outside of ThaiVisa suffer because of this? Your thoughts please. Myself, probably about 6 or 7 hours per week. Whilst i get some pleasure from it (obviously otherwise i wouldn't be doing it!), i have to say that were it not for work forcing me to sit at a desk with some idle hours to kill, it certainly wouldn't be my first choice of leisure activity. The heavy users you come across on the site, who do seem to be spending so much time on here by choice, do make me wonder. Is there really nothing better to do?

Scott Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Since I can neither drink or smoke at my computer, I'd have to say it is one of the least healthy things I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmart Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I spend time on here that I could probably be using more productively elsewhere. Like on porn sites for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maigo6 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) How many hours a day or week etc do you spend on ThaiVisa? When I'm at work I spend quite a few hours on Thia Visa. PC is on 24/7 when at work. And basically, if you spend a few months on Thai Visa, you will see the threads repeated over and over again, just like I have seen this thread many times before. But, it's this or Porn sites, and I'm going blind. When I go home to Thailand, I very rarely use Thai Visa, I have a host of other things to do in Thailand, sitting behind a PC monitor is pretty low down on my list of things to do. Fair play to those that do, but it ain't for me. Edited September 12, 2007 by Maigo6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardog Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 If it brings you pleasure or commaradarie with others & useful info & challenging discussions, it is healthy for your intellect as well as your typing skills(note my poor spelling skills!) Too much time on a computer could be rough on your eyes - other than that can't see any thing bad about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I consider visiting TV similar to visiting the zoo. Can be an interesting distraction to see what the animals are up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegha Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I keep Thaivisa open in the background and pop in every now and then, so I suppose actual time on here is around an hour a day. But hey, I enjoy it and I have made loads of on-line friends, some of whom I have met in the real world. Everyone of them have been great people...

Joe Walshe Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I have been a regular user of TV for past 6 months or so. I originally posted as I needed views and info. on different subjects. Now I log on as I like to read the posts from people living in Isaarn with similar interests to me. Some people seem to post a lot but if that's what they enjoy then why not. I reckon I'll use TV less and less as same subjects keep coming up and I pretty much have found the information and views I needed. Always, like to read about peoples day to day lives though.

intumult Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 No television, can only visit so many places in one week, pubs in daytime not my scene, sitting outside drinking beer in daytime also not good so look TV and internet as well as the computer. Bad for me? Nah. Walking in the heat is worse. Also can be good fun looking in on TV and news and stuff on the internet. Maybe 2 hours a day on TV itself.
