Maybe it's just me....

But I'll sit here an zone out to GFY messages for hours when I should be working on other stuff.

I shut it down during the day

The time I waste on GFY is definitely outweighed by what I've learned here and the idea's I've gotten while reading. Reading some peoples posts can be very motivating too, that time quiet posted his stats and the recent FM thread for instance.

Apparently not good enough. It was still up for me

Maybe Lensman could be cool and pull the server down during normal busines hours

(whatever normal business hours are these days)

I would say its a little of both.

I to find myself sitting here for HOURS on end sometimes, and since me and my girlfreind just broke up, all my energy lately is focused here. Good thing about GFY is that is keeps my mind off other things, an awsome time killer for us web heads.

I sometimes need a keyboard breathalizer, such as the other night

Day to day I think it's more of a waste of time, but reading over the long term it's a huge resource.

GFY has made me thousands of dollars.

Waste of time unless you're promoting something, then you might as well spam every thread and keep your name out there.
