Where would you put the cutt-off line at? An average of more than 2 posts a day? 5 posts a day? 10-50, 100 posts a day? When I'm in a message-boarding-mood (usually lasts for a few weeks) I might average at most 5 posts a day. It seems this is a full-time job to many of you :D.

well...I usually spend a few hours a day on here, while doing other things online as well. I don't consider myself to be addicted, so to say.....but I do enjoy being here. I know of a lot of people who are here a LOT more than I am though...maybe they are a bit addicted themselves! ;)

I spend about a few hours and yes It can get very addicting to say the most.

2 Hours a Day of Non-Quality Posts is Postwhoring Addiction.. You Like Seeing Your Own Name, and Feel Superior To Others For Having 3908598 posts...

If you're spending at least 2 hours, 4 or more days a week posting quality posts, I'd say you have an addiction.

Either that, or if the message board is interfering with your actual life/personal relationship/daily habits.

Howard's right.  It is addictive.

i come here to try and kick my unhealthy addiction to real life.

Real life? Oh man, that's a nasty addiction.

I am very addicted to inthe00s.  I have a TV in the room where my computer is, so I can compute while I watch TV and while I eat ;D

Howard's right.  It is addictive.



I'm on the patch Jamie. ;D

I lurk more than post. I tend to have the window open while I'm doing other things on the computer and update every 10 minutes or so to see what new posts have come though. I suppose you could call that addiction?

I tried to stop for a few days.  I started showing signs of withdrawl.  Sweating, mumbling incoherently, incredible feelings of guilt. :P

Yeah, I've done that before. ;) I've been on message boards since 1998, so especially on ones like this (where I'm more of a frequent poster), sometimes I'll think of a topic I'll want to ask/tell people later on when I'm not even online. I guess it's just like a real life hangout, or real life friends in the sense that they'll sorta be in your mind at any given time.

being on here almost every day.

Sadly, I haven't felt the compulsion to post in a long, long time..

I have a lot of posts and karma, however, I don't feel like I am addicted to this place.  I like to come here because I have built friendships with many members....and instead of hanging out with a group of friends in real life...I come here and hang out with friends.

Exactly!  I don't think having a ton of posts and karma means you're addicted to this place.  It means you enjoy posting here and other people enjoy you posting here.  Nothing wrong with that.

I know for myself....I don't have many friends in real life...but I have connected with a few really nice people on here. I have met a few in person...and hope to meet a few more in person in the near future. There are different avenues in meeting people...it doesn't always have to be in person.

I can totally relate!! I have made lots of friends on here in the past 3 years, and continue to make more as time goes on. :)

As for friends in real life...I haven't hung around in a group with them a whole lot, but I still talk to them (via email, phone, and in person).

I come here every day.  I have lots of posts, which I acquired in somewhat of a record time, but that doesn't make me a messageboard addict.  For that, I would have to not be able to eat and sleep without coming here and posting 6 zillion replies a day

very true. Believe me...I have been "addicted" to certain things in my lifetime....but posting on this messageboard...or any other website, for that matter, is NOT what I would classify as an "addiction".  It is nothing compared to certain personal instances of mine (from my past).  Let me put it this way....I know of nobody in my real life who has the interests and passions for certain pastimes...as some members on this board. Here, I can discuss things like: thrift shopping, urban exploration, haunted places/things, roadside attractions, nostalgic things, old music/movies/tv shows, different childhood memories, etc.....I mean, basically...that's what my "being" is made up of...things from the past...so why wouldn't I want to participate in a place where I find people who are so much like myself? It's easy to figure out why this place attracts so many of us....but that doesn't mean that we are "addicted".....we just merely "fit in" and enjoy being here. ;)

There are different avenues in meeting people...it doesn't always have to be in person.

You're absolutely right... I've met many people without ever seeing them in person. ;)

Amazed?  Dude, head over to the PBG when you have the board set to 100 thread per page.  You can post in all those threads in about an hour or less, provided no one else is there. 

What is there to be "amazed" about?

Umm, no.  But when I'm bored, and there's nothing else to do around the house or my friends aren't on here yet, it's a fun way to pass the time.

It's always nice to see Trimac isn't it? ::)

Lol, figures can be misleading...I know I've had 426 arcade plays, but about 350 of those were over a two day period while I was obsessively trying to beat the record for a particular game. I haven't visited the place for months.

I post here, depending on if my friends are on and we're getting into some great discussions..maybe 5, 6 hours of the day.  The rest of the time is spent doing other things.


I hardly consider that "all the time in the world" and I haven't posted ostensibly in the PBG in a while.

ya, why are you all of a sudden coming back here and ripping all of the members apart (calling them basically postwhores, etc)....whenever you and DD were two of the biggest postwhores known to man not too long ago? Nobody has done anything to you...so why are you starting trouble? If people want to post in the PBG until they are blue in the face....that's up to them. Not everyone on this site has "postwhore" mentality...some people actually post there because they totally enjoy it.  I mean, if you have something against someone in particular here, take it to PM's please...because it's not fair to lump a large group of people into one stereotype.

No I wasn't making a personal attack on anyone, or suggesting that people who like playing Penguin Board games are weirdos or anything. I'm just wondering why people spent 2-3-4 hours daily doing them - I'm not suggesting they have nothing better to do, I'm sure some of you really do find it fun. We all have our reasons for doing things, and of course I understand how people could enjoy doing that, but I'm just making my perfectly legitimate opinion known. But I'm not here to ruffle any feathers, I wish nally, whistledog.etc well in their endeavors - whatever that is. Anyway, no harm meant.

;D  about 35 seconds
It is about that for me too!

For a long time i was one of those technophobes,i couldn't really understand the appeal of computers,videogames,the internet.
I had people who would ask me for my e-mail and i would give them my home address :-[

I only started using the internet around 6 years ago and boy was i surprised with how much i liked it,it was like all of the sudden i couldn't get enough of it,but like everything else in my life after awhile i got bored with it.

Now i don't get online as much,life gets in the way,i have a few sites i check,i chat with my friends and family and that's it. So i know i'm addicted to this board because i come here more than one time a day.

There's no shame in saying you're addicted to inthe00s anyway - I'll go ahead and say I was addicted for awhile. I can't say I'm addicted to it now though, lol.

...but the computer still took about a minute to boot up, and then another minute to be on line.

if somebody watched t.v. two or three hours a day, would that be addiction?

i figure this is just another way of having a conversation. although it does concern me from time to time. whatever, i got lots of obsessions and i like them all so...

This is just a cyber equivalent/another component to hanging out with friends, etc.

I'd only say something's an addiction if it gets in the way of doing other life things. But yeah, I've been going online and at least reading/posting on some forums since '98, so I'm used to it now, although I felt like a geek at first, lol.
