singe Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 It's very quiet, my guess it is that it is because people cannot get to work/school (!) So How do you log in? Mysefl, both home and work, but snowed in at home, foot hand half even in Kent! You can tell I'm a bit bored! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Just at home, used to be both home and work until the I.T dept. at the Pennine Accute Trust decided to block owtb... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Both, but spending a lot of my current work time in a room full of people who have internet completely blocked so I try not to rub it in by spending half the day on here.

Diego_Sideburns Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Both, but spending a lot of my current work time in a room full of people who have internet completely blocked so I try not to rub it in by spending half the day on here. If FIFA find out how many people are on OWTB at work and realise why the country is in such a state, it could affect the outcome of the bid.

rudemedic Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Just at home, used to be both home and work until the I.T dept. at the Pennine Accute Trust decided to block owtb... When was that? Durham blocked owtb a long time ago, but the computers there are so slow it isn't worth doing any sort of non-urgent surfing. Sunderland have blocked it as well (I think) As for the topic question, at home (but mainly when I'm in Durham). I have logged on now and then when at uni, or at "work" but I'm usually no where near a computer even if I wasn't that busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 i never log off You're not on your own. There's plenty more with an unhealthy obsession of coming on here. Can't believe how much time some people spend on here. But the thing is, with 3g and 4g and 5g blah blah phones it's just too easy to get on the internet whenever you want. I'm sure I'm not on my own when I admit to sneaking a peak at OWTB, sports scores etc on my mobile when I'm out shopping with her, in a restaurant with her family, stuck in traffic, waiting for an appointment....

Durham blocked owtb a long time ago, but the computers there are so slow it isn't worth doing any sort of non-urgent surfing. Sunderland have blocked it as well (I think) A couple of months back. They swapped the 'quota time' system (where we each got 1 hour per day to do as we please), to unlimited access (but have filtered out a shed load of sites).

Roger Ritchie Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Message boards being quiet is a good thing. More people use them to complain than to praise. If you are doing well there will be about half the traffic of if you are doing poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My home internet (with Virgin) is often so bad in the evenings I can't even access this site. I do speed tests frequently and last week I had 0.07dl and 0.02ul. I've called Virgin a number of times about their appaulling service to which they have told me to 'write a letter' detailing my complaint, clowns. They also tell me 'they dont deal in upload speeds' despite advertising them on their website, needless to say payments to Virginmedia have now been cancelled maybe that will get their attention.
