We have some power users active in so many different of our networks they must spend all day on the site to acheive the status they have.
That's insane...

When I ran a BBS I had people online chatting or in the conference rooms who spent more time online than ANYTHING ELSE THEY DID ALL DAY. We also had a idle kick set at 300 seconds, so you had to be active somehow, and as sysop, I sometimes monitored people who were online and playing games to see if they really were active and ATK (at the keyboard) because with only 22 lines, we were always packed up full, soon as one line dropped, it would be ringing with someone else.
These people I met at our monthly user meets, and I can tell you that just talking with them for 5 minutes, it became crystal clear, they really did spend all day online.
Was very cool to have a system running like that, but felt bad for the people sometimes because I knew they were wasting their lives away.
