Per week.
I do a lot more arguin' about games than I do actually playing them. Or working on them...

I spend more time on forums because I'm on a brief hiatus.
Even when games are regular they're once or twice a week.
And forum posts are short, quick, and simple that can be done at one's leisure.
In terms of total time accumulated over the years, I'd say I spent more time gaming.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

Going through a dry spell on the games. So yeah.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Yes; i may game 3 to 4 hours every 2 to 3 weeks, but I read/write for at least 3 hours on this forum every single day.

There's an interesting duality, in my opinion. Much of my "gaming" time involves trying to produce something useful or entertaining for people online. If 10 hours of module build time went into something that could have taken 2 if I was just scrawling notes on the bus only I could interpret, do I count 8 hours of forum time?
Also depends on how much enthusiasm I feel for RPG stuff at the moment.
I think I spend more time reading forums than I do actively gaming, but I spend more time than either discussing RPG group stuff with Akula. And I do sometimes spend significant amounts of time writing down game ideas and deciding whether they'd be worth posting here.

If you include computer games, then no. But with friends around the table? Yeah, more times on forum.
Including computer gaming, I spend more time gaming than sleeping.

My gaming buddies are currently scattered across the country, so yeah, definitely more time arguing about RPGs than playing them.
I don't even try to write homebrew RPG stuff anymore. I spend all of my free working on a vidjagame but I only read gamedev.net or any other indie game development forum when it comes up on google for programming questions. *shrug*

Tabletop: I game 1/fortnight for 3-5 hours
IRC: I game like 4/week for 2-4 hours each
Forums: I play a lot of play-by-post games - more time is spent on them than just posting here and telling people they suck.
That said, I have a quota to fill, so, [you, the reader] suck dicks. Duck dicks.

I probably spend an hour or few on here a day for the most part, and only reliably get a 4th edition game every other week. So it would seem for the most part I do in fact spend more time on the forums, discussing RPG's, than playing them.
Even if get going the random RPG night, which not playing in D&D, and I get back into Shadowrun, unlikely to surpass total time I'll be on here, or it'll cut it close at least.

Much more time online.
I'm in two groups, which each average about 4 hours per weekly session, and they both skip some weeks due to holidays, illness, scheduling, etc.

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."
I used to spend a lot more times on forums than I did gaming, sadly. But recently it's evening out nicely, which is a big improvement.
For a minute, I used to be "a guy" in the TTRPG "industry". Now I'm just a nobody. For the most part, it's a relief.
