Is It Worth It for You?

Curious question - How much time do you spend on BBS on an average and how many communities do you belong to? (just looking at a number - not the names of them).

As for myself - I belong to 3 that I post and engage to every single day and 2 that I post to occasionally (because I have content issues) and I engage with a few times per week.

The time I spend daily is at least 3 hours first thing in the morning, and at least 2 hours in the evening for a total of at least 5 hours per day.  

I know some of you consider BBS your job and may spend a solid 8-10 hours (or more??!!)  here, but for those who don't.. how much time do you spend here?

I find that for the 35 hours per week I spend on BBS my growth is not very much - so this gets me thinking that for those of you who are here more - is it paying off? Is it worth giving up those precious hours in your life.

That is my random thought of the day. Would love to see your answers!
