On average about two or three hours usually late in the evening but I check the stories forum to see if their is any new stuff every morning before I go to work and again when I get in from work.
About 90% of my time online is spent at Poly and most of that here at the stories forum, I sometimes venture into the civ3 general ans strategy sections and very rarely see whats going on down in off topic.
I only joined poly for the stories forum.
If its weekend or a day off work and Ive got nothing to do I can spend hours and hours just reading stuff here and sometimes over at cfc, hope this answers your question. Are you doing some kind of survey. 
EDIT : I almost forgot to nominate Grundels other recent offering " The path of the Gaul", I really enjoyed reading this. There have been quite a few short stories posted in recent months and if written well these can be as enjoyable to read as a tale of epic proportions. IMHO this is one of the best short stories Ive seen here.

well heres the 8th nomination and not just because every round of this contest should have at least two entries by the Lord Of The Ski's but because his poem "Reverie of Empire" is truly a great piece of writing.
"reverie of Empire" by SKILORD.

there's an h-link for you DC.
Don't consider this a seconding, consider this a hyperlink, I want to see if 'Reverie' can make it in without a (granted) writers nod.
