What are your HA use statistics?

Well, I voted "other" - I just had a look around and liked the level of discussion, and wanted to join... but I wasn't considering myself "good in this domain". And then yes, I've been much of an addict for quite some time.

Especially in the days before an exam (!), I'd spend way too much time here. It has changed now, and I don't come around too often anymore. So the other answers were "Definitively", and "a few minutes" - even though that doesn't seem to go well together

I joined because I was looking for information on Ogg Vorbis after installing Linux. I had no idea how to rip to the codec in Windows.

Heh, this was a good one: "More than 168 hours" a week
    (24*7=168) 


Seriously though, I am very curious to see the actual stats of my own HA usage, and how it compares to what I think it is.

I think you're the first to make the calculation.. or at least to mention it  -- What I said previously, though, is true : once a year, you set back the time, and have a 25-hour day.  As such, you can get UP TO 169 hours a week of hydrogenaudio goodness ;-)

On a sidenote, to make the bridge with the poll, maybe Garf or Dibrom have statistical data about user usage?  If they could share it, that'd be great!

Similar to ff123 and Gabriel:
mp3.com('98,'99) -> vqf.com('99) -> remix.net('00?,'01) -> ha.org('01, until now)

It was at mp3.com I heard about 8hz mp3 encoder which evolved into LAME. Summer '99 after reading the LAME sources and submitting bug reports and fixes, I got more and more involved into LAME development.

^^ same as that really. 
Lurked for about 6 months, gained some useful knowledge that I thought I could help others in, and I've also asked a few questions over time too.

Damn, you are member number five! You must have joined the first day!

Does anyone have an old snapshot of what Project Mayhem and early HA looked like? I kinda remember PM, orange and blue and grey? But I don't remember early HA.
I'm the one in the picture, sitting on a giant cabbage in Mexico, circa 1978.

I also came here from R3mix forum, many years ago

Another former r3mixer here. And I got there like many people -- interested in finding out why some mp3s sound terrible and some were indistinguishable from cd. At that time Napster was in full effect, and before I ventured to ripping my own collection I had to find some quality methods.

I selected "to get an answer to a question," "not really/it was worth it," "3-10 hours." I remember the day I realized I was addicted (and maybe wasting a little time) was when I began to browse beyond the active topics and into the offtopic forum, the music discussion, recycle bin.... but it was worth it because sometimes the offtopic forum has some really good nonaudio info in there.

Thanks to all the mods and helpful users of hydrogenaudio

edit: PS I think my first LAME was 3.88, and I thought that was transparent
