Do you reply to them immediately, ten minutes later, a day later.. never?

For me, it kinda depends on the person, though before bed I'll usually leave at least one so I have at least one notification to wake up to. XD;

I usually respond immediately. I see no point in waiting to do something when I can do it now and get the same result. Although, if it's someone I dislike/not in the mood to talk to, then I might not for a little while.

Lemme think about it for a second. It depends on two things: how busy I am on that particular day, and who just VMed me. If it's a schoolday, I tend to ignore all VMs until late at night, which is the only real spare time I have to reply to them. I'll also try and reply to the VMs of the people I don't know very well first, because I can always catch up with my good friens on MSN if I need to. That in mind though, I'm still really bad at keeping conversations going. A normal VM from me is, 'hey, what's up?' then you get a, 'not much, you?' and then the conversation just dies. It's gotten to the point where I'm considering turning off VMs because, well, I'm not using them as much as I used to.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

It really depends on the person at times and if I am in the mood to talk with anyone or just hang around the rest of the site. Usually I'll respond to all of them within a day or two, but natually if I'm not busy with anything I'll knock them out like a bullet. Again though, it really depends on how "not-lazy" I am and the person I might be replying to. For instance, right now I have 22 waiting for me, and with so much I'm just dreading to reply to them all and in the next minute or so, I gain an extra one or two more at that.

Depends if I'll be online for a bit here, usually. If I'm online and will be for some time, then I'll reply quickly. If I know I have to leave soon though, I'll reply later. Also, sometimes it depends how big the reply is. Sometimes I write long VMs and then the next person does the same. :P

Depends on how busy I am. If it's a school day and I got little to no work I'll probably reply within the next 5-10 minutes depending on how long it is, but if I have loads of homework I might not even reply to them on that day (that's rare though). If it's on a non-school day then it depends if I am busy on another site or not, but I'll usually reply as soon as I see it.

It's also determined by the member who VMs me. If it's one of my best friends or one I want to talk too then it'll be fast, but if it's one that I don't know well enough or is new then it might take longer depending on said busyness.




In short, it depends but it's usually pretty quick.

Pretty quickly. Usually not more than a day or two, and immediately if I'm not busy with other matters at the time.

If I'm online, almost always right away. Sometimes I'll leave them for the next day if I'm about to go to bed, and I'll check again in the morning but not reply until evening. o:

Was this relating to me because we were VMing at this time. 8D

I'll reply straight away if any of the following come into play;

a) I'm not lazy.
b) I like this person.
c) I do not hate this persons guts.
d) I'm actually there at the time.
e) I can make conversation out of what the person said.
