Forum Addiction (U Know You're Addicted When...)

[Fyron]

Also, would that mean there would be a 24-step progrm needed or a 144-step program needed?

144, of course!

You know you are addicted to the forum when:

You can name at least 20 different forum members off the top of your head.

The first thing you do every morning is to check the forum. Then when you get to the office, you check the forum. Then during lunchtime you check the forum. Then when you get home from work you check the forum. You check the forum just before going to bed.

You cannot go to sleep at night without first reading the forum.

When the site is down, you are depressed and you feel that there is something important missing from your life.

You cannot resist commenting on stuff on the forum, even if you know nothing about the topic being discussed.

After posting something, you click the "refresh" button every 3 seconds to see if somebody has responded to your post.

After posting something, you click on each of the names on the recent visitors to look at the "This user was Last seen..." line to see if they are reading the topic you posted in.

You notice everytime Tesco changes his avatar. You remember all the different avatars he has gone through over the Last several months, and you can describe what each of them looks like.

Whenever you have a question about any topic whatsoever, the first thing you do is to post the question in this forum.

Whenever you find or learn something neat or interesting, regardless of the topic, you immediately post it in this forum to let everybody know.

Just 20 members? I think I hit 40 before I had to start thinking...

Oh, and can anyone give me any advice on how to get this rust off my begonias?

I think Kamog hit it squarely on the nose!

Ya know, at work I was due one of the new flat-panel displays. After I hooked it up, the color didn't look right on this forum so I boxed it back up and took my conventional 19 back.

That's kinda bad...

Kamog!!! I am NOT addicted, and your message to me will not convince me otherwise

p.s. maybe your addicted when you think that a general post is directed at YOU

An added question would be,

Q Is this forum your home page?
Q Do you go through withdrawls when it is down?
Q Do you post more than five times an hour?
Q Do you read this forum at work?
Q Do you wish you worked at this forum?

LOL, We need another 12 step program in addition to our current 12 Step Program for SEIV addiction.

Hmmm 4 out of 5

...

After scanning all the threads you're watching, you eagerly look at your rating to see if anyone notices if you alive; or

Brag to your wife what rank you hold on the forum (which, of course , means NOTHING to her).

You can play a little with gamma correction. It does help sometimes.

You know you're addicted when... You can look through peoples sigs and translate their "SEIV Code" in under 10 seconds.
