Uh, if I spend all day at home or something, and I spend that time on PC then it's time wasted.

But if I did something during the day, and came on PC after I had a hard day at work or being super busy and productive, then it's just relaxation to me. It's neither time well spent or time wasted. It's just time used.

Well I enjoy the time I spend on here, and it does keep me from doing other things that could get me in trouble. So, time well spent.

This really depends on what you do on the PC. If I'm doing anything creative, educational or useful, I wouldn't consider it a waste of time.

However, if I spend time playing video games, watching TV shows, cartoons, movies, etc., then I consider it a waste of time. Good thing I've got a lot of it to waste xD

Definitely time wasted. I could have been looking for jobs and learning to drive during the summer but instead I got bored and spent time at home watching anime and hanging around the forum.

I start school 1 week from tomorrow so idk for how much longer I'll really be spending a lot of time here.

She means PC as in PokeCommunity, not a computer in general.

I definitely see it as time wasted but everyone wastes time so I don't feel bad about it or anything.

Oh.... well, now I feel stupid xD

To contribute to the real topic then, no, I don't think it's time wasted, since it's fun, and I don't really spend much time here...

Well, I wasn't very active for years, but I don't spend time on here (or any forums for that matter) unless I'm going to post and chat with people
So no, to me, this isn't time wasted
I wouldn't go online if it was

I'm stuck in this house all day, every day. I have little contact outside of it, because nobody really makes an effort to reach out to me, so coming here and at least seeing interactions among other people is helpful. It gets really lonely and I get pretty miserable and pace a lot. My phone has a pedometer and I walked the equivalent of 2 miles yesterday from pacing. It's a nervous habit. I can't leave, because my fiancé uses my car for work and I have my daughter to care for. While she is great company, she cannot have a conversation with me. It isn't really time wasted when it is all you have. And yes, I do plenty of other things. I play piano for an hour, play games with my daughter, exercise, prepare meals, clean, and play my 3DS. I still have time after that.

Neither, it's a time killer when I don't actually want to do things. I don't really enjoy it nor do I really hate it. I think I come here out of habit.

It really depends. Sometimes I don't really do much but browse so then it's time wasted because there are a million things I could have done otherwise. When I'm posting and talking to others I don't think it's time wasted.

It depends on whether or not I've got homework assignments do to and/or tests coming up. They could be a waste of my time because I should've used that time for studying if it wasn't so addicting, but they could also be time well spent once I'm through with my assignments and tests.

I spend more time on PC & Pokemon than in Real Life. Do I see it as a waste of time? No, Life is what you make it. You only get one life so enjoy it and live it how you wish.

On my end it's mostly time well wasted than well spent. 4 years and racked up almost 13,000 posts. I ask myself every time: WHERE DID MY LIFE GO. Pretty much 1/5 of my life was spent here on PC, and I'm not sure if it was well worth it not. Probably was. xD

So yes, it's a waste, but I'm not ashamed of it.

I pretty much agree wholeheartedly.

If I spend countless hours inside on PC and it's a lovely day outside and I've got stuff do to then I've definitely wasted my time.

It really just depends on if I have anything else to do or not. If I'm busy and I'm procrastinating on PC, then yeah, that's time wasted. I typically come here if I don't have the free time to engage in another hobby like a video game or something, or if I have a ton of free time then I browse around. I dunno, I don't really consider it time wasted at any rate as long as I don't have any priorities to deal with.

PC is absolutely my favourite waste of time.
This ahaha. Honestly, you can view anything as a waste your time if you can't accept the fact that everyone needs a little downtime. Then again, I guess you can make the argument that downtime is a necessity, and thus not a waste of time. I suppose it all comes down to how often you go on PC in comparison with everything else you do.
