I'm positively addicted to these forums. I don't miss a day, if I can help it. ;D

You betcha. It's become that close, hasn't it, between us? A lot of you guys I feel I know a lot lot better than my so-called "real friends" who discard and mark me down. It's not like that on the internet. Never has been. In fact, I was nearly able to log onto here for three extra hours today, but I missed my chance, and therefore got all depressed.

You'll have to count me in. I went a whole week without it, because I went on vacation and had no Internet access where I was. (And boy, did I miss it!) You may remember me as the guy who goes berserk when people post in the middle of the night when I'm asleep (I know it's early morning in Britain and afternoon in Australia) because mainly, I miss the point of a lot of these overnight posts that go off into a different tangent, mainly due to Christy and Gayla, two sisters born in Arkansas who now live miles apart. Christy admits to being a chronic insomniac and Gayla is a pediatric nurse. Maybe it's cheaper for them to talk this way than over the phone. Of course Christy is not mad at me anymore and I hope Gayla isn't, either. (And if you don't know who Christy and Gayla are, remember Christy is the one still in Arkansas…)

I am addicted to message boards in general, but I don't really post all that much. I've been on this sight since May, and I haven't even broken 500 yet. But I do read the posts every day!

Yeah, this place has become a habit for me and a good place to relax. I really shouldn't spend as much time as I do on these boards because I tend to neglect housework and such. :-/

I only found this site a week ago and already I can't wait to see what's happening here everyday! It's gonna really suck when I have to leave for work and not visit for TWO WEEKS at a time. I work in remote locations and have no way to access the internet. :'(

Heck, yeah, I'm addicted!!
I recently went through two months of unreliable internet access. I couldn't deal with it. It was really driving me bonkers because I was laid off from work over the summer and all my real-time friends are at work all day--they can't just stop and chit-chat just 'cuz I'm bored.
I found myself starting conversations with total strangers just for someone new to talk to (not a good idea in some parts of town-I could have met an ax-murderer). Well, now I'm back, and I have not met any ax-murderers (that I know of....) ;D ;D ;D

I've been enslaved by 2 people, been encouraged repeatedly to run naked, and battle with soda zealots on a daily basis. It's one of the first sites I go to in the morn, and one of the last I check at night. And I sneak a peek in at work here and there.
Yeah, I'm addicted.

I used to be really addicted to the board. (in fact, I'd be royal now if it weren't for that so-sad incident those months back!! :'()
I've met some cool people on here that I really enjoy talking with. Sadly, though, the newest family member around here seems to keep me away an awful lot these days. I guess now I'm more of a "visiting passerby" than the board addict that I used to be. :-/

How about this! When I started visiting Message Boards at the beginning of this year, my Editor (very little local rag), asked me to write an article on 'internet addiction', which I did with an enormous amount of smugness and self righteousness (for those poor sad suckers!.) Oh how the mighty have fallen!!!
I plan to give it up soon for something less sedantry, like cleaning the house!

My PC's on, and I'm online
Where I spend too much time
I read threads, I write haikus
And time is what I lose
Oh, I say I could leave it but that's just a veneer, oh yeah
Closer to the truth to say I'll be here all year, you know I'm
Gonna have to face it I'm addicted to here
...or something like that ;-)
