How much time really gets wasted on CSC?

[rforsythe]

As part of another project, I was analyzing some of the statistics gathered by this server on the posts you all make. It occurred to me that I could use these numbers to make a rough guess on the amount of time that is collectively wasted posting here. Based on my numbers, here's what I came up with:

On average, posts here take 121.2 seconds to make.
Over the last month, 12,921 posts were made for a total of 1,566,025.2 seconds. That works out to 26,100.42 minutes, 435.007 hours, or 18.125 days.

If I apply a pretty wild guess that time spend reading versus posting here is at least three to one (meaning that total time spent is at least 4x the amount spent on each post), we get a staggering 72.5.

That means that 72.5 days worth of time are spent collectively in a month by our membership using this forum.

My name is Ralph. Blah blah blah numbers blah blah.

^^Next you should study just exactly how much time it took to make your analysis and then post that up too.

EDIT: Barn's a homo.

I would not call it "wasted"

No graphs?

I saved time In October by avoiding political threads

Gathering the information and breaking it down, about 41.5 hours so far (but again, this is really for another purpose so I don't consider that time spent just figuring out how much time you all spend). Once I got that part done though I was able to break down the numbers into the "time wasted" figure in a few minutes with some PERL code.

You should end this project now. You are wasting your time

Does anyone have a charge number for this?

[Devaclis]

I have not wasted 1 minute on here. Everything I do is for a purpose.

Excuse me. Dana has "purposed" like a year and a half now.

[asp_125]

Do you have a breakdown of that time by kitteh pictures?

I prefer to think of not "wasted" time.. as much as multitasking.
