Activity in forums is waste of time?

i m the only one among friends who use forums like gupshup. all of my friends r of opinion that my usage of internet especially forums is a big waste of time for a medical student like me.
do u think that the gupshups and discussations can be a waste of time?

If you're going to be reading and posting poor quality material, then yeah it's a huge waste of time - if you're lucky enough to spot a few bright posters and participate in a little more intellectually advanced threads/forums then no it's not a waste of time - knowledge is power.

Moderation is key though - GS could be super addictive.

It's pretty normal marwati... people who haven't experienced virtual communities find it hard to grasp that people spend so much time here. Many of my colleagues and friends are the same way. What I tell them is that we all enjoy different things... while they might like to go out after work for a drink and a chat, I like engaging in discussions online.

awwwwwwwwww
aaj GS per itna rehem??

It is. Go and do research and publish something. Time better spent. :)

Re: Activity in forums is waste of time?

I cant :(
spellings are bad, so is english.

I learnalot from this site there are some really knowledgeable posters here and world and Pak affair forum is really nice because especially for Pak forum i don't have to go jang ,dawn etc allis collected inthat forum.:D
Anyways the point is it depends on you if you want to gain knowledge from here.

With 131 posts, I hardly think you've spent too much time on gupshup.

Re: Activity in forums is waste of time?

it is a waste of time if you arent getting anything out of it.

That was a very deep thought!

j/k

As a ex-student myself, there are lots of things more dangerous and deterimental than hyper-ventilating on a forum. At the least it is not a cause for a headache & embarrassment the next morning:)

i like your post minus the bottom part :o

Re: Activity in forums is waste of time?

It probably is… A waste.
If u have anything else to do, then junk GS.

But then occasionally pass by through my blogs. I am trying some interesting stuff i guess. But GS, dump GS. :smooth:

Sorry! I wrote my first thought on it. :-)

ya but mostly reads threads or do search in older threads. when i see a member with 5000-10000 or above posts, i become surprized how he managed to get time for the activity?

ya, i observe many people who usualy do not use net. if they sit to net then open only determental and dangerous things you r talking of

I was talking about not going online and partying too much :)

Re: Activity in forums is waste of time?

Waste of time. Someone just ban me from GS pls, atleast for a little while...thanks :)

Re: Activity in forums is waste of time?

I don’t think it is.. I’ve learnt so much from this place :slight_smile:

But when you get addicted, and are on GS when you should be doing something else, thats a waste :bummer:
