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.
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.
the end
- 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!](http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/1992/webcomicslulnj7.png)[/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.
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.
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;

Wikipedia?
Huh, cool
- 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.
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.
I have a bad habit of closing my Reddit tab only to open a new tab and going back to Reddit. huhdoodame;
I usually spend my weekened like this:
-Wake up, check if Clucky's on AIM or Boyah, if not go back to sleep for another hour or two.
-Go on Boyah/AIM
-Check Reddit
-Play MySQL Game
-More Reddit
-Facebook
weekdays miss that first step since I can't sleep for that extra time.
First I come here long enough to check my PMs from Hyper. :3
Then I go to Outsider and read most of all the new posts.
Of course I do my share of adding to the activity by adding my thoughts. Or derailing threads according to Ezlo.
Then I come back here and do the same.
Then I check NS2 and Silver forums for interesting stuff.
All this and talking in PMs, aim and steam.
I either let pidgin open and chat for a while, or frantically end the process to go do something else. I open firefox with a blank page, and I either stumble wildly or click on my outsider bookmark and check the happenings there. I still haven't gotten around to adding Boyah to my bookmarks toolbar, so I just google it. A combination of pidgin, boyah, and stumbling continues well into the night.

WHY DO YOU PREPEND EVERY NEW LINE WITH A SPACE akudood;
Check inboxes for various sites because I get a lot.
Ignore people on AIM because I don't notice them or I'm getting too many at once. ;_;
Okay, here's Lozal's long obsessive-compulsive Internet habits.
1) Turn on the computer and router (since my mom turns it off). Rush to sign into AIM and MSN as fast as I can in fear of it being somebody I have a need to talk to.
2) Talk to said people.
3) Open Google Chrome, and my homepage of aol.com comes up.
4) Next tab is ALWAYS Gmail. I always leave this tab open because I'm paranoid that I'm going to get an e-mail when I have it closed.
5) Next tab is ALWAYS MySpace. I just have an obsession of checking my messages and comments and stuff, in case Gmail fucks up.
6) Wikipedia or YouTube or some shit.
I open Facebook, Gmail and another forum I go on first.
reply to whatever mail and then I'll probably check Boyah.
No real set thing but I check my email quite often (and with reason)
1.) Check Facebook
2.) Check ESPN, Fox Sports, NFL, and Buffalo Bills website.
3.) Open up Boyerg and read posts
4.) Check my e-mail
5.) Check Myspace
6.) Check Green Day Authority
7.) Update all my fantasy teams
-IM clucky and call her a whore
-annoy JMV and demand attention
-read queerty.com/fark.com/etc.
-listen to internet radio
I always have three of more tabs open.
Oh, and every Sunday I check the online ads for Circuit City/Best Buy/Toys R Us/Target for deals on electronic devices. spam;
it's always circuit city first, then best buy, then toys r us, then target befuddlement

I DON'T KNOW. HELP. saddood;
Oh gosh, I'm probably the MOST nerdiest person here...
First I check Runescape's Grand Exchange Item Database to see if I should merch for the day.
Then I go to Boyah and post.
Then I go to Yahoo and check my new mail and delete my stupid junk mail
Then I go to w3schools.com to get some info on some CSS and PHP
Then I play some Runescape
moar Runescape
Then I go to Boyah and post.
I get bored and fiddle around by entering IP addresses into the address bar.
Then I get booted from the computer. Darn, party's over

it's ok. all I go to is Power On, and mostly just the chat thread.
and if you added the Activate Account app on facebook, remove, block, and report it. it's a phishing app.

go for it. be prepared to put up with some really stupid people though. the chat thread is usually where you find intelligence.
or roleplaying if you're unlucky.
