"So how does TMP fit into your life?" Topic

Curious after a series of health concerns and injuries I find I dwell here on a regular basis. I come on just after I drop the kids off to school and pop in again after they are asleep. I may not spend hours on here a day, but I check my areas of interest and look at some miniature porn a name coined by my wife.

So how does TMP fit into your life?

Wargaming is my main hobby & TMP is the premiere wargaming internet site so "the fit" is pretty obvious.

If I'm busy at work, I don't come here at all but otherwise I can infect the place like a plague of fleas.

drop in now and then (try to avoid certain topics now), check the genres I am interested in. normally about ten mins a day. I tend to look briefly on my lunchbreak when at work. then if I want my miniature porn fix of gorgeous paintjobs etc I go browse a few more sites.

Drop in occasionally. But my main wargaming sites for inspiration / ideas are the TWW or LAF.

Almost visit every day :-)

visit every day

I am here daily as well. TMP is one of three tabs in my browser that are always open (much to the detriment of my painting!).

My visit frequency is down from several times a day to maybe once or twice a day.

Retired/disabled-everyday I find something that is new to me, enhancing the hobby, golden nuggets of history, inspiring artwork, enlightened individuals.

And the occasional person that makes me feel like a genius.

Part of my morning routine. It's the second thing I do after checking my e-mail.

Drop in occasionally (usually daily) to read the sensible posts, pop over to Frothers to get a heads up on the latest lunacy and then pop back here to read the Frothers-indicated weirdness and have a good laugh.

I used to come here for the news but there is barely any these days that interests me

Nowadays what Dave said

Ditto David Manley.

I visit twice a day for as long as it takes to read what interests me. TMP and a few blogs are my sources of information for the hobby. I've unchecked a fair number of the boards to keep the distraction and clutter down.

Having recently relocated and not doing any gaming TMP keeps me motivated to continue working on projects!

Visit every day, while circulating between LAF, TWW, Frothers and blogger.

Usually visit TMP after checking my email at 7am as it shuts down for maintenance shortly thereafter, then drop in periodically when I have a break.

Used to come more frequently and stay longer. Still come daily to check on the news and the topics that interest me. I find the neighborhood has changed.

I keep trying to reduce visits (sorry Bill!) as I'd really like to get some painting done…..

…it's all sitting there….

….just waiting for my enthusiasm to strike!

TMP and a couple other lists are my "Club" (mostly due to geography). I visit many times a day, as work allows.

I visit this site at least once a day.

When I'm working: I'll drop in a couple times a day. When I'm not working (a lot since I'm going back to school right now) I'll stop in here and multiple other sites dozens of times a day, way more than is healthy probably.

Not as often as I used to--for obvious reasons.

Usually on weekday mornings.

Pretty much what David Manley said.

prior to retiring, 4-5 quick peeks at work during down times. now retired….twice a day but for longer time periods and reading more posts.

Several times a day AM & PM.

Ditto David Manley.

Once or twice a day, but decreasing importance as time goes on.

I spend a lot of time here, the never ending thread on Frothers for hilarity, as well as Colonel Marbles', LAF and GWP3.

The quality and atmosphere on TMP have plummeted over the past few years. I'm about where David Manley is now. Thank God for LAF.

I appreciate the wealth of knowledge that the members bring to this site. Plus it's a good place to lighten my leadpile.

Life?

Had one – wasn't that impressed. ;}

Visit daily, looking at nicely painted figures. Regularly ask about painting or search for answers regarding uniform details.
Check the Marketplace for good deals.
Wargaming is my main hobby so this is essential to me.

I check a couple of times a day to bask in the wealth of different points of view and knowledge presented by the other posters. Many of the things said here lead to research excursions and book purchases (and many too late nights with my nose in said books).

Fairly routinely (but not so much of late), I like to barf out my ideas for minis and terrain in the hopes that they inspire someone to do something really nice in a way they might not have otherwise.

The non-wargame related content, which is biased from the general public by our common interest, is sometimes thought provoking, sometimes interesting, sometimes infuriating, and pretty much always entertaining in some way or another.

Few times a day. Hardly ever at night.

A stupid question from a relative novice: What is LAF?

The Lead Adventure Forum. Well worth checking out if you haven't seen it!

Stop in every day, most of the times once/day, sometimes
multiples/day

Ditto David Manley.

Every day, look for what I like, work, paint figures/eat and sleep.

As I've stated on another thread, TMP is a very excellent resource for news of the hobby. I might check it early in the morning, or after work, generally. Today, I'm sick in bed, so its fun to take more time to explore the site.

I can see how it does take the place of a social network for gamers.

In the morning and before bed if the site is still up.

Used to check it multiple times a day. Not so much anymore. And I am retired.

Ditto David Manley

There are about five or six boards I read on a daily basis. I will check out others from time to time and often read the "TMP Talk" board in kind of "can't look away from the train wreck" fascination.

I tend to read only at work. This is usually on my breaks or at lunch when I take my lunch at my desk. Today is an exception in that I'm visiting from home after work hours.

In Winter I paint on the computer desk so can virtually hang out here all evening. The rest of the year every day, mostly twice when I get home and before I call it a day. My PC is the only outlet so being away or hectic days can curtail stopping by.

Lunchtime and then afterwork when I'm having a coffee, usually.

It's my home page. I visit everyday. On slow days at work I'm on all day.

I stay out of the nonsense and look at miniatures. Turns out it's actually a great site for that.

Not so frequently now as other forums have more wargamimg contennt and less bickering

TWW is not in the Glossary. A little help over here?
