How many of you are addicted to the Internet(including Clutchfans)?

I wish!!

 

Touche..

 

nope.
not at all.
really.
seriously.
i can stop whenever i want.
i mean it.
for real.

 

Well, lately I have been. Mostly because I've had to use the computer a lot while working on a beast of a term paper. Unfortunately, the NBA playoffs are going on so anytime I get writer's block I'm tempted to go checking basketball message boards, and I usually can't stop myself. Throw in IGN message boards and constantly checking myspace to see if I have any new messages and it gets pretty bad sometimes.

For some reason or another, I actually use AIM a lot less these days even though my overall internet usage has increased. Strange when I stop to think about it.

Anyway, once I'm done with this damn term paper I will be on the computer MUCH less and I can't wait. I need to get out and play some basketball. Once I get away from the internet I don't crave it, but it's when I'm at home and bored that it calls out to me so loudly

Just take a lot at the # of posts I have on this site....

 

My name is swilkins and I'm an addict.

I feel better.

 

Admitting you have a problem is the first step towards recovery.

 

On another message board I have just a touch under 20,000 posts...since Nov 2002. Plus the thousand I have here. Plus the 2,000 or so I have on two different UTEP boards...

Yeah, I'm a loser.

 

There are other message boards besides this one???

 

seriously.

i check a disney message board occasionally when i'm planning a trip there. i check the houston architecture board occasionally.

but this is it. a great source for news...great conversation..and great people.

 

I've tried a couple of other message boards before. None have ever kept my attention other than this one. I agree with everything MadMax's last line.

 

I'm not sure why the other one sucked me in the way it did, but your description of CF is how I feel about it. *shrug*

But don't get me wrong, CF is a great place and I love coming here. It's just the second or third place that I visit, though...

 

no, i'm not calling you out! just giving you my opinion.

 

I tried to leave this one and spend more time on a drummer bbs I visit because I was embarrassed by my high post count, but it didn't hold my attention either. At least not as much as this place. Now I don't care about my high post count anymore.

Seriously, this place has everything. Anything noteworthy that happens in the world or that people are talking about, you can bet there's already a thread about it here. And most of the time, the conversations in that thread are more stimulating and informative than anywhere else on the net or in real life.

 

I don't know how many times I've been asked how I knew about something or where I saw something and I've had to sheepishly answer "the BBS."
