Generally I only do it when I'm forced to by a virus.

I dunno, maybe 2-3 times per year. Depends on my mood and my viruses and, and all the crap that I accumulate.

I used to get shitloads of viruses with games/p*rn etc.
For about 2 years I've been clean. "Virus" means that I cannot use my PC at all. -.-

I often loose track of how much i reformat, usually once every two months.
I have all my 1337 games and programs on a different partition so i dont mess with that.

I have never seen the need to reformat unless the operating system has taken a dump.


Last time I reformated was over 3 years ago, on my personal computers anyways.

Alright this is how it is done.
You get a good computer with loads of space… terabyteish… you partition it into three partitions… one with half and the other half split in half… (.5 and .25 and .25)…. and you use the .5 for playing all l337 games … you use a .25 for family (if be) and personal use… and you use the other .25 for downloading… on the .25 used for downloading you can check programs for viruses and if you get a virus… reformat that partition… once you have checked a game out and you want it on your .5 then you export it to a 500gb usb (sata drive with converter so no need for power cord) and bing bala boom… you never loose needed data..
