Time awake – Time spent sleeping – Time Eating – Time at school* = Free time
Free time – Extracurricular activities* – Travel time – Job time* = Pleasure time
Pleasure time = Social time*, Net’ time*, & Erroneous time
*Denotes items that represent socialization

Whoops, looks like the time spent on the internet is not only time spent socializing with others, but is done in the spare time of OTHER socializing activities. Thus, net' time does not determine life amount.

Who would've thought.

I'm going to start a thread entitles "Are you a shut in loner?" where we can discuss this more. :fuzsmile:

I agree with Death, this is a pointless topic, although perhaps it's good to get it out the way. Wolfpac's awards are good, because they are a more democratic representation of specific Forum activities, but this is just basically a popularity contest - at first I was flattered to be included on the list, and indeed I still am flattered to be considered a 'popular' member of OWF, but I like many members who couldn't be put on the list. Oddsville, for instance, doesn't seem to hang around all that often anymore, but when he's here he always has something useful to say. Hence, it's not really a fair thing to do.

Nevertheless, I voted for Xavier, because he always contributes constructively and goes out of his way to help others.

I also disagree with Death, in that I find going on about how other people have no life, and trying to explain some kind of logic or science behind it incredibly dull, boring and pointless. Jacob used to do it, and I wasn't impressed by it at all. If you think a particular person should 'get out more', fair enough, but there's no need to spout about how having no life means you're obviously a social cripple. That's not exactly going to boost their self-confidence, and it's also incredibly harsh. At the end, we can't control what person we are, fundamentally speaking, so being nasty about things is absolutely uncalled for. I say this as a person who doesn't have the most aventurous time off the Forums or out of school, but I've found a balance between all things (except homework, which I'm lagging in) that suits me.

Sometimes it's good to rant. Especially if you're meant to be doing an essay on Macbeth and the music programme you're using to compose coursework won't insert codas properly.

Oh Max stop wasting my time. Read my post through again, and don't read it as if everything I say must then be criminalised by your own perceptions.

Where in this entire thread did I "go on about how other people have no life, and try to explain some kind of logic or science behind it"?

I think you'll find I didn't. I merely suggested that having no real-world social life is a symptom of not getting out enough. Along side a large stack of drinks cans and crisps packets.

I don't take the piss out of people who are shut in and lonely, I feel sorry for them.

Oooops.

Ok, I'm not defending this thread anymore for the fact that it's not fun anymore, if it ever was. Close it down baby!:D

-oddguy:devil:

This thread isnt that bad... its just suppose to make some people feel special... well in the expense of others.... but what isn't. E.g (a good excuse for being bottom of the class mark), just say you got the lowest mark in the bottom of your class you can say "if i wasnt the person with the lowest mark somebody else will, i'm just sacrificing myself so others wont be hurt by being at the bottom"
