Neopets? WTF!
[sarcasm]Yeah neopets are great[/sarcasm]
I think you people should spend your free time properly instead of just wasting it!
Honestly, I don't find posting around on a Pokémon forum to be a much better use of my time. :(

I don't mean it in a demeaning way or anything. I mean, I love PC.

I just think it's really hypocritical to criticize others for enjoying something like Neopets when you're posting on a forum that has the same social stigma as a virtual pets site does. In fact, I'd say it's even less "cool" to be posting on a Pokémon forum than it is to be playing flash games on another site.

I agree with Erica. You'd probably be made fun of more by discussing Pokémon on a forum, rather then simply playing games with virtual pets. I guess neither one is really a "good use of time" to lots of people, but hey, if it entertains you and doesn't interfere with school or work, why not? :D

:shocked: Seriously you a staff admin saying I am wasting my time on this forum, I came to PC to learn about pokemon rom hacking and see the talk about diamond and pearl and then I got into graphics from here.
And who says I don't play flash games? Or are a part of social network sites? Or watch videos and listen to music online?

So you came here to engage in illegal activities, inquire about video games, and make pictures?

I'd say that's a pretty big waste of time, so... :/

But don't take it the wrong way. PC is meant for having fun a.k.a., wasting time.

Is wasting time a bad thing? Not necessarily. If you enjoy yourself here, then great, enjoy it. But who's to say the person playing on Neopets doesn't enjoy it? (Considering they're doing it in the first place, they probably do.) To them, maybe it's not really a "waste" of time, just like posting on PC for you might not be a "waste" of time. It's all a matter of perspective.
^ This.

I won't deny that I probably "waste" more time than I should here on PC. But hey, it's my choice right? I wouldn't do it if I didn't love it here. I don't think of it as a waste at all. We all take different things away from PC, and some take more than others. Who are we to judge how other people spend their time?

I'm not ashamed to tell people that I spend most of my free time here. They may laugh, but frankly, who cares? (The poor fools don't know what they're missing XD)

Oh I get it.
Your saying that it is equally time wasting to be here, but that doesn't mean you don't like it. your just pointing that out to the person who made the statement.
Sorry I understood it after I read this post.

Dude, stop and think: if I'm saying being on a Pokémon forum is a waste of time, I'm really just insulting myself. :( If being on PC makes me a loser, I've got a bazillion loser points considering the six years I've spent here. Read my next post: I wasn't trying to be demeaning, I'm just wondering why you're being so hypocritical.

You completely missed my point. D: Clearly you have a problem with me saying that PC is a waste of time--you can list a bunch of good reasons for being here. So who are you to say that Neopets is a waste of time? People go there to have fun, to unwind, to play the flash games, and to interact. There, I listed some reasons why it's not a waste of time. :( Don't be so judgmental of others and the whole world will have a lot more fun.

If I insulted you, I apologize. I was just defending the Neopets crowd by playing devil's advocate. D;

That was well said, Usually theres 3 things I'm doing, Either I'm on here, I'm shopping, or I'm doing homework, but I'm mostly on here and I enjoy it.

The three places you can usually find me on the internet are Myspace, Pokecommunity, and pokehackers.

Ok that was harsh

We all have different opinions on neopets, so could we please respect each other opinions by not dissing there hobbies, I mean don't insult other people that like neopets, I my self once liked neopets, but then they got greedy and I could not afford to feed them and forgot about them.

I mean you would not like if someone at your school started saying that your hobbie was for losers, that would make you feel bad and hurt your feelings so don't go hurting other peoples feelings, "caution should be shown in a presence of a soul"

I don't really know how Neopets works, but good lord, doesn't everyone need a place to go to relax and escape from the every-day?

Just because Lightning is an admin doesn't mean she can't say that PC isn't a waste (Albeit fun waste =P) of time. I'm sure everyone can think of a time during which they were on PC when they could have been doing something more productive.

Why does it matter how some people spend their time here? It's their time, and it's theirs to spend however they want =/

ALSO FOR THE RECORD, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO THINK I THINK SO NOW: I don't think PC is a waste of time.

:| If I did, I would not still be here. Or I wouldn't be here as much as I am. Or something like that. Okay, so maybe it can be a waste of time, but that's only when I should be doing something better, like studying. XD

Exactly so lets not criticize other ppl on how they spend thier time, nobody can tell you what to do in your free time (unless in some ppl's cases they're parents force them to do chores then u don't have a choice)

And how does a parent force their child, exactly?
I'd imagine that most parents (If they're any good anyway) have taught their children to respect them. Kids aren't "forced" to do anything, but simply understand that they should listen to their parents.

thats rught, especially with my mom, when I don't do chores she gets depressed and she already has migraine problems so its hard to say no.

I never quite understood it... and I was a child only a short time ago.

Never understood why children listen to their parents? Parents teach their children essential things they'll need so they can succeed in school and later in life. If they didn't do that...sure, kids might not have much reason to listen. The respect comes from the kids knowing that their parents know how to take care of them. It happens naturally.

When was rom hacking illegal:pirate:, it would never be on PC if it was!
Video games and making pictures is not wasting time its enjoying life instead of just working:tired:!

If I insulted you, I apologize. I was just defending the Neopets crowd by playing devil's advocate. D;
Your admission of guilt is accepted however I was not really insulted just I do not believe PC is a waste of time for me or for anyone!
