The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

What Time Do You Usually Get To Sleep?

I'm often a night owl so I'm up pretty early myself, or late, depending on how you want to look at it.

Are you guys kidding me with these 2 AM sleep times?  Its no wonder kids can't stay awake in school. :p  You'll all change when you get older, trust me. :p
It all depends on how the individual is designed.  As I had learned in psychology, some folks like myself sleep for less than five hours and still feel like they've slept at least eight hours.  How?  Their bodies remain in a deep sleep state the entire time they're sleeping.  Stage Four is where they remain at.  No wonder I'm always having nightmares :bang.  Stage Four is where nightmares occur <_<.

As for getting older, I doubt I'll change, or at least I pray I don't change.  I had a friend in high school whose grandmother would stay up all night long and play Nintendo while smoking cigarettes, and she was 92 years old :blink:!  Geez, I hope I'm just like her then, minus the cigarettes. I've never lit up, and I'll never light up :x.

I saw a youtube video where this kid's grandmother was playing Oblivion and having a lot of fun.  Wish I had bookmarked it, it was pretty funny as I recall.  Sounded like she knew her way around computers so not like it was her first game or time on a pc.

Sorry Malte, but I can't really give any philosophical value to sleep.  Perhaps it's because I dream so rarely. :p I dream every once in awhile and it's usually an LBT dream when I do.  I haven't had a dream I've liked in many years.

A grandma on Oblivion is probably the coolest thing I've heard all day.

I have used the side effects of certain allergy medications (I do take them for a legit purpose; I have severe allergies) to stay up. Due to my small size (for a "adult"), a 12 hour dose of Allegra-D has a rather powerful stimulant effect (I wouldn't go so far to say that it's amphetamine-like but it is much stronger than tea). Note: I am not advocating you do this.

I usually get up at around 9-10 or sometimes even 11 AM.
