Some things I always do while on the Internet (most will only apply to Boyah):

-First thing I do when I get on the Internet is check out every new and interesting piece of information on Yahoo
-I then check all of my emails on Yahoo
-Once I'm done with that, I'll open IGN
-I'll then open Boyah, which I always have as the second tab
-I always go to the Homepage before going to the actual forum
-I read every single post I've missed in every board but Sports/Arts Discussion (and because of this I doubt I can be a member of a large forum ever again), and I haven't missed a post in The Lobby since last year
-I spellcheck almost every post (insecurities :'()
-I preview almost every post (insecurities :'()
-I use an emote in ALMOST EVERY POST
-Throughout the day I'll check Yahoo to see if anything interesting comes up

I think I may have a mild case of OCD. befuddlement

Boyah is always my first tab.

Samus Aran

First thing I do every day when getting back online is check my email, and then in the next tab I almost always open Boyah.

I make repeated use of the "show unread posts" and "show new replies" features.

The homepage is my first tab or some random site that won't get me in trouble.
Myspace or Boyah is on the second tab so I can easily close it if someone comes in. hocuspocus;

What would your parents say if they saw you own Boyah?  n_u

Boyah is my homepage
I end up typing in myspace or 4chan in the address bar accidentally
tSRMB, Boyah, and SocialVibe are on my Links bar
I check my AIM mail a little too much
I turn my volume off, and don't like to listen to music while on the internet as I know something will inturrupt the song :(
Oh, I do Forumwarz daily.

I can't think of any more off the top of my head.

They'd ask me how did I get the money to pay the server. ;)

I couldn't do that.  I have multiple 4chan tabs open, along with the above.  My parents wouldn't fall for Neopets as the first page, or would they?   O_0

-Open GBAtemp to see if any new DS games have been leaked for my downloading pleasure. Then check if any new homebrew has been announced.
-After that, I usually check myspace for new comments/messages. Depending how I feel, I'll lurk around girl's myspaces who I like and look for new pictures or something
-Pidgin has usually booted by now, and I am talking to my good internet friend.
-Once I get bored of myspace, I'll head to boyah and look for new posts in videogame discussion. I usually see whats up in the currently playing/etc thread, and maybe post or something. Then I'll look at other threads in this general area.
-I might head to the lobby for a bit incase some topic sparks my interest, but usually nothing does (unless it's 11pm, and nobody is on MSN and nobody is posting at other forums like right now).
-Then start a never ending rotation between GBAtemp and Boyah looking for new posts and such.

- Google is my homepage. First thing I do is check my e-mail account in case I got job offers or something.

- Then I check out the webcomics that update on that respective day.

[spoiler=list!][/spoiler]

- Then I open a tab for Boyah and another for Cuccoscratch. On Boyah I'll head directly to the General Discussion board to see if new threads have been made during the night and I catch up on the Chat Thread. On Cuccoscratch, I just click "Show unread posts since last visit". That step's not too long, it's a pretty inactive forum.

- Then I go on a few fetish websites/blogs to see if there's anything new. giggle;

- And at this point, I just go where I feel like. Refresh Boyah's index page and click on Cuccoscratch's "Show unread posts" thingie again. Kotaku, Joystiq, /v/, OverClocked Remix, use StumbleUpon a bit, some other stuff.

- As for posting habits, I use the Preview function for every single post. In fact, I use it every time I make a new paragraph in the post.

Hiro

first my homepage (digg, joystiq, kotaku, gizmodo, engadget) then I open up boyah, then facebook.
Then sometimes IGN, Cnet, GMail

I read through my feeds, catch up on boyah threads, and then post.

[hedy]Zidone

Almost always, I'll jump right from my homepage (Wikipedia) to Boyay, GameBorks or YooToob and come back to Wikipedia at some later time.

I don't usually venture far from those sites mentioned above, Starmen.net, or Cracked.

Also, I usually have some sort of music playing, especially if it's late at night. I'm uploading the Super Adventure Island 2 soundtrack to YouTube mostly for my pleasure. bassir;

- Go on Youtube, check if I have any comments or messages and watch videos from my subscriptions box
- Go on NShit2 and check DP and ACCF Board.
- Go on Boyah and check Video Game Discussion and Lobby.
- Check GoNintendo for any news
- Check my E-mail
- Then I will return to one of those places. Most of the time it's Youtube.

Kingmush

I'll open up Hadaway, reply to almost every new post, then when I'm bored I'll get on MSN or open NS2 or here. Occasionally I'll lurk on other forums or check Facebook, etc.
