For those of you on top of things, you'll realize that I put up the new poll slightly earlier than usual (about 11 hours earlier than average). That's because I'll be too busy the rest of the day...
Anyways, this new poll was also submitted by LunaMay. It's sorta related to the last poll through the subject of time. So how long have you gone without reading any manga? (Of course, not counting any of the time before you started reading manga at all). For me, I think I've lasted only a week or so...
You can discuss this poll on our forums here:

Previous Poll Results:
Question: Do you see yourself still reading manga in 10 years?
Choices:
Yes! Love of my life! - votes: 5197 (47.8%)
Maybe (I'm not sure)... Depends on a lot of things - votes: 5216 (48%)
No, I'll be too busy or interested in other things - votes: 449 (4.1%)
There were 10862 total votes.
The poll ended: January 17th 2009
Of course, in reality, we all know that it all depends on a lot of factors. What we think of the future could always change...

Not surprising that 'Maybe' won.
As for the new poll, it's 'a few days' for me. I'm actually surprised it's not in the lead right now. o_O But meh, in my case, I'm (usually) online at least a bit every day, and I track so many series that I most assuredly read at least one update once every two-three days. xD

I really don't read anything I don't scanlate anymore these days, so I could last a long time without reading any manga.
When I was in Western BC, I lasted without manga for 3 months without much problem...

Nope, I don't really see why I'd vote for "Maybe". Whether I keep reading manga (or comics) depends on two things only: Firstly, there must be comics that I deem interesting enough (I don't see why this would ever change. Do novels or movies get old? I don't think so.) and secondly, they must be available in the place I will be living by then (That, for more than I care to admit, factors in of course. Who knows, maybe I'll be in some remote, desolate place with no books stores or connection to the internet (given comic scans will still be around by then).
The bottom line is, why would I want to decide that I'll definitely stop doing something that I perfectly enjoy doing right now?

I have my moods that fluctuate between reading a novel and reading manga. I've done a couple of months without manga before, when I picked up a new book series and wanted to explore everything in that genre. {Then again, that was before I picked up One Piece....}

That poll was, to me, like asking will you read ANYTHING in the future. Or, will you watch a movie in the future. If I sit down to read I don't doubt that it'll be a manga.

Well the first choice was pretty close to maybe... 47.8% vs. 48% very close.
But the I'm one of those that voted for maybe cus I know I can go on without manga but it doesn't mean I will stop which bring me to the new poll. I've gone quite a long time without reading manga... like a few months or a year. School and other stuff just kept me busy and I kinda lost interest in all those new manga.

</3 cus of you.
