So I just got curious how much time do you usually spend on MAL forums a day, when you are actually active(like posting, searching, reading threads etc)?

NGL, I spend a lot, probably around 2-3 hours overall. But I work on PC/laptop all day, so it's not really difficult for me to be online and search the forums from time to time, and I like doing it in the evenings too.

How about you?

I'm not sure so I didn't vote. It depends on how much I'm free in my office (my work) I guess. I can't do something with sound, like playing games or watching video during my worktime for obvious reasons so being online on MAL is the best way to spend my time if I don't have any paperwork to do. I'm barely online on MAL during holidays except to update my list.

If I have to calculate in hours very roughly, it'd be around 4-5 hours per day minus weekends.

It is hard to say...

My most favorite activity is just adding new people/characters to database, or info, and pictures for them, so sometimes I can spend hours doing just that.

As for forum, well, while I may visit it multiple times in a day, I rarely spend more than one hour overall, daily, I mean.

I tend to spend way more time on the MAL Discord server than here on the MAL forums. But in general, I won't spend too much time on the forums. It really ranges day by day. I mostly just use MAL for keeping track of my anime/manga and for looking for new anime/manga to watch/read.

Depends on the day. I usually do 30 minutes regularly on weekdays, and much more on weekends. These numbers can skyrocket if I see a good thread or a good argument to get into. But yeah, not as much as I'd like to.

Half hour. Too busy to really hang around a the moment.

About half an hour I suppose. I don't have much time and only log in at night to see what's new.

I think around 20 minutes depending on the day. I'd say it could be 30-40 on the weekends, depending if I decide to say some unpopular opinion on episode discussion threads and get people mad.

Overall not much.

These last days I've been spending none or a few minutes per day. Although in general I'd say 1 hour per day.

Less than 30 minutes. Sometimes none at all. I log in MAL just for a few minutes to spend some time in FG or to check for new messages.

I'm on here for several hours a day sometimes. I log in when I turn my computer on in the morning, and I don't log out until I go to bed.

My more professional job won't allow me to be on any "fun" websites so I have to rely on home or my second job to give me time on MAL. When I do hop on, it is at most 30 minutes. And it also depends on if I get time to watch anime, if I go on a cold streak I don't have much reason to go on here.

I spend hours typing responses to threads and then not posting them.

About an hour, it depends on the quality of threads too. It's easy to use on mobile while at work.

Sometimes I spend from a few minutes up to almost an hour or even more, but that only if I find interesting threads, but there are also days, sometimes days in a row when I don't go on the forums at all.

It depends on the specific day and how much free time I have. These days, I'd say I spend from 20 minutes to an hour, on average.

When I first became active on the forums, I used to spend most of my free time on them..
Nowadays it's a lot less than that but still more than 1 hour I think, although there are times when I don't log in at all for days.

I'd say its usually around a few hours since I've got a lot of free time on my hands but it mostly depends on how "interesting" the threads are.

Since I'm pretty much never here anymore I don't get sucked into the lifeless void of the forums for hours anymore, thank god.

Not sure the exact numbers there, I just popup every so often (which is almost everyday) to see what's going on in the forums.
But it looks like it's getting to that time of year when the forums are too topsy turvy with odd perspectives that I leave for awhile in hopes it bounces back to some level of normal

Maybe 2-5 minutes or so. I just do a quick sweep through the topics once or twice a day.

i only log in like once every two or three weeks, so i tend to spend a little more time on mal when i actually am logged on
since i'll have quite a few things to update or a few replies to do and i'll spam the forums a bit before logging off again.

Less than 5 minutes on average - I'll usually do a daily round or two checking a select few subforums and perhaps update my list on the rare occasion that I actually watch some anime.
