[Two of usI]

What a wonderful idea....... wish we could do the same.

Yes you are right........ and thats the problem !!!

Great way of freeing up band width in a country that can't lay cable based internet quick enough..... just a thought

And i guess the children will still have non on-line gaming to entertain themselves with

I did this with my kids when they were young. 2 hours weekends.
Go out and play boys !

Great idea guys. Just what can millions of teens/young people do with all this leisure time? Now let me think...

Just set the dns settings on your router to only allow access from specific devices at the time you set. Make sure to use a really long difficult password so the little genius can’t hack it.

Not all computer gaming is bad for kids, on the contrary, and IMO a couple of hours a day is fine. We used to spend hours hanging around the chip shop smoking No10's and having spitting competitions. Computer games would have been much better for my health.

Gaming is often a lot more social and mentally stimulating that watching TV.

Are we sure it's on line gaming or something more adult based? apparently some kids used to while away their hours masturbating .... for some it was probably the only sort of exercise they got ...
