How Long Are You Allowed Online For?
 
Do you have time limits ( like me :( ) or are you allowed as much time as you want?

Me, I'm allowed three hours, but I try to sneak in more ;).

.little monster January 23rd, 2010 10:54 AM

Forever, since the majority of my homework requires the internet.

TheAppleFreak January 23rd, 2010 10:57 AM

Define "limits" :D

I can use it almost any time I want to, except when I'm doing homework. However, I use it anyways during this time :)

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ January 23rd, 2010 11:23 AM

I'm allowed as much time as my schedule allows. One of the perks of being in college XD

*hi fives*

Same with me. XD My schedule changes every day due to work and classes changing sometimes, so I go online whenever time allows. I try to limit my time so that I can get some studying done, but then time flies by when I have too much fun online. XD

Elegy January 23rd, 2010 11:44 AM

I use it whenever I want, assuming I'm not at school (high school). As long as my commitments (grades) stay up where they should be, I don't see this changing. Short answer: 24 hours / day. But I probably only use it say 6 hours on week days out of consideration for schedule, and this of course is considering multi-tasking where I'm playing a game and browsing or doing homework and browsing, etc.

Distortion World January 23rd, 2010 12:07 PM

K, by the looks of it, I can't wait for college.

My parents think i have way too much "screen-time"

Andrew1989 January 23rd, 2010 12:22 PM

I'm online as long as I want to be on for (seeing as I ain't getting up for anything nor am I getting ready for work).

...Of course, that's assuming my computer doesn't over-heat that is ¬_¬'

Aizuke January 23rd, 2010 1:02 PM

I'm pretty much allowed on whenever and how ever long as I want. I've never had a limit on how long I can be on for. The only time where I was allowed on only at night was when we had dial up, and that was so people could call our house phone during the day. I'm the only person who uses the computer anyways, and I ended up getting my own laptop. So I basically have more freedom to be online whenever I want to be.

Though I'm not on 24/7 because I either have to work, do house chores, go out with my friends or whatever. Not like I would want to be on 24/7. o_o That'd be insanely boring.

Hiidoran January 23rd, 2010 1:17 PM

If I'm not in class or sleeping, chances are good that I'll be online.

I do most of my coursework on the computer, and I always have my phone with me wherever I go, so there really isn't any reason I shouldn't just go ahead and log on and see what's up. Plus, the internet gives me something to do when whatever I'm supposed to be doing isn't very exciting. Still, I remember only being allowed online for one hour a day when I was younger... I- I can't even imagine that kind of limitation these days. D:

Emotion. January 23rd, 2010 1:27 PM

My parents gave up years ago trying to limit me xD.
I don't have limits, but I just get nagged at if I'm on for too long.

BHwolfgang January 23rd, 2010 1:47 PM

Well, if my internet connection is always working, then I could get on for as long as I want. =)

It's pretty much this way ever since I first came here. The catch is that this school computer doesn't always allow Pokecommunity to pass through the filter. So, at times, I won't be able to get on because it's blocked.

Jesh January 23rd, 2010 1:55 PM

As long as I want, but I usually get off at nine or so at night.

Ayselipera January 23rd, 2010 2:36 PM

I can be on for as long as I want, but I get bored after a while.

Honest January 23rd, 2010 3:03 PM

Lemme see, *mumbles carry over the one, divide it by the golden ratio, times it by Pi mumbles*

3 to 4 hours. Usually when I come back from school, I start. XD

Giraffes? Giraffes! January 23rd, 2010 3:46 PM

I have no rules whatsoever, so I'm technically allowed on for as long as I want.

Neko January 23rd, 2010 3:52 PM

Seeing as I never really even talk to my parents (though we do still live together), their 'rules' regarding me are quite few. As for the internet; I can basically stay on here for however long I want. :)

The Corrupt Plague January 23rd, 2010 4:06 PM

As long as I want, which is good because there is nothing else to do in this boring town.

alisaie January 23rd, 2010 4:08 PM

I'm pretty much on allowed whenever from 6 AM to 2 PM (because that is when the internet shuts off. :/ ). Just as long as my grades stay up and I still do things around the house.

Rokusasu January 23rd, 2010 4:08 PM

As long as I want. Ah, the joys of being an 'adult'. :D

Axєl January 23rd, 2010 4:26 PM

Back when I was younger, or even a younger teenager I had a time limit. Well, pretty much.. I wasn't forced off, but passed a certain point it was sort of a mutual agreement that we had. "Okay.. 4 or 5 hours is enough, go live life~."

During weekdays I commonly only got 2 or 3 hours at night, and these days.. I can't even imagine only getting two hours online. xD; Even when I was in college, or working I managed to get 4 or 5 hours to be on at night. On normal days, I'm on.. way more than I should be. >.> Sometimes, it can add up to 10 hours or more a day, on and off/throughout.

Cherrim January 23rd, 2010 4:32 PM

I used to have limits but my parents sucked at enforcing them since they never remembered what they were. I know I had a bedtime up until grade 12 (inorite? x_x) and that fluctuated between 9 (lmao ffff) and 10:30 but ever since I got my own laptop when I got out of high school, I haven't had any sort of limit.

:] And now I spend pleeeenty of time on the internet since I'm in uni and don't have any restraints but the ones I enforce for myself~

Anxiety. January 23rd, 2010 4:47 PM

I can stay on the internet as long as I want.
That way, my parents don't have to interact with me, y'see.

Caelus January 23rd, 2010 5:30 PM

I can be online as long as I want, just as long as I don't have anything else that I have to do, like homework.

Sammi January 23rd, 2010 5:38 PM

When I was in high school, I was only supposed to be one for an hour a day... and then that kind of got shot out the window slowly when I got modded here. By senior year I was on whenever I felt like it. By then I think my parents gave up on me ever changing. They put limits on TV and computer time to get us out of the house and active, but, well, my little brother and I aren't the active sort of people.

Of course, now that I've moved out on my own, I have no sort of limit. How often I'm on varies on when I work, and if I decide to hang out with my sister at her place, or if I decide I'd rather do something else than browse the Internet.

curiousnathan January 23rd, 2010 5:43 PM

I'm on whenever and it doesn't matter how long for. As long as it doesn't distrupt my education I fine. ^_^

Binary January 24th, 2010 1:37 AM

Around 1 hour on school days.
Otherwise, I suppose upto 4 hours.

Slumber January 24th, 2010 4:25 AM

Only an hour :\ yep when it's exceeding 1 hour..my parents will probably kill me. D: and I hate it

Corvus of the Black Night January 24th, 2010 4:31 AM

Never, but I'm quite clever with how I configured my computer so it's more like 4-5 hours a day if I'm lucky.

Kikaito plush January 24th, 2010 4:48 AM

Not a often as I used to be....

Ranken January 24th, 2010 4:50 AM

Anytime! But not as much as 10 hours.

Cheesymitten January 24th, 2010 4:53 AM

I can stay online for a long time,
Though yesterday my dad switched my internet off for a while.
But i'm usually allowed on for the whole day =D
Which is like 9 hours.. maybe 10

Ho-Oh January 24th, 2010 6:12 AM

Ever since last month, Nan came up with "two hours in the morning", "two hours in the afternoon" and finally... "two hours at night."

I don't really stick to that though, because I'm usually on from about 11AM - 2/3PM (then off for like an hour), then on until 5PM... then later, 8:00-ish to 11:00, so... yeah. Nan tries to make me get off at night at about 11 though, usually. :(

Alexithymia~ January 24th, 2010 8:02 AM

My mum likes to turn the internet off at a certain time at night so I'm not on it... like at three in the morning.

I usually turn it on in the morning at 8-9 AM, and I'm allowed on anytime between when I turn it on and when she turns it off.

vanna. January 24th, 2010 11:34 AM

I have no limit which is kind of bad XD
I spend a lot of time online on PC, GPX+, facebook and aim.
My IRL friends and internet friends are on those sites >.<"

zane203 January 24th, 2010 11:57 AM

I've never had any limits O_o since i was 5 to now (17)

My friends dont either, but they have bed times, which i do not have x.X so im usually alone at 2am on a school night =3

Belinda January 24th, 2010 5:28 PM

As much time as I want to spend on my computer,I admit I do have an internet addiction myself. About 5-6 hours a day is homework related though.

Master Jecht January 24th, 2010 5:38 PM

I bought my own computer and put it in my room so i can stay on as long as i want. Usually i have online classes so i'm on quite a bit.

mikey January 24th, 2010 5:46 PM

I do not have a specific time limit, but things keep me from being on for like 5 hours. Plus i'm on a lot for school stuff.

Alakazam17 January 24th, 2010 6:36 PM

Seeing as I own my computer, and I'm paying for the Internet myself, I have no time limit. XD

Though my roommates and I are supposed to keep below ninety gigs a month cumulatively, so I suppose that's our limit. :P

♣Gawain♣ January 25th, 2010 9:48 PM

I used to have 2 hours when I was in high school. But since I got my laptop and I'm now a working student, it usually extends to about 5 hours +.

Sarah Paliner January 26th, 2010 9:34 AM

Since more and more of my school assignments require the internet and computer in general, I'm allowed online for as long as I wish usually.

The Darkest Gale January 26th, 2010 9:40 AM

whenever about 8 hours?
I don't keep track of the days let alone the time xD lol

Façade January 26th, 2010 10:04 AM

I've never had a set amount of time I'm allowed to be online, and I'm usually about 14-18 hours a day. (Depending on what time I wake up)

ÇyänïdëÉX January 26th, 2010 10:34 AM

till 12 pm eastern because i have to work in the morning. So after that i get to be on as long as i want. No limits but soon ill be going to class again so ill have a bit less time.

luf100 January 26th, 2010 11:19 AM

As long as I want. Me, my brother, and my mom all have laptops, my dad has a computer. So none of us need to share a computer. I don't have a bedtime or anything either so I can pretty much stay online as long as I want to.

Legobricks January 26th, 2010 2:59 PM

I'm at the age which I can have my own house an' all so if my parents did limit me that certainly would label them as... awkward...
So, self-moderation? I don't have that either.

akamichi January 26th, 2010 3:14 PM

depends sometimes a couple hours but now with regents week i say at least an hour :( it stinks.

Captain Hobo. January 26th, 2010 5:36 PM

I usually finish my homework in school. So I can stay online untill dinner. Then, after I finish eating then I can stay online untill I have to go to bed.

Ninetales433 January 26th, 2010 8:12 PM

I can stay as long as I want after I finish my homework.Then I have to stop when I go to bed.

XCHAMPX January 26th, 2010 8:21 PM

as long as my free time allows

evilishan January 26th, 2010 8:30 PM

I'm free to go on whenever I want to, happened after I did my School Certificate.
I guess it's because I entered the senior years and became responsible. Yeah right!

Gary, the Magic Fairy January 26th, 2010 9:02 PM

As long as I want, because I am not a child. People don't "allow" me to do anything. :\
