Forum Addicts
 
Do we have any forum addicts here?
And I don't mean people that are signed up to numerous amounts of forums, I mean people that do such things like:

-constantly click the new posts button to see what activity has passed through since your last refresh

-constantly check back to sites every 10-20 minutes to see what has happened

-always reading heaps of topics/posts

stuff like that.

I for one am a big culprit of the constantly refreshing the page thing. I love seeing new material and seeing some post worthy topics!

Ho-Oh September 16th, 2009 6:02 AM

.. omg yes I always click new posts. And check PC a lot too. XD

luf100 September 16th, 2009 6:10 AM

Yea, I'm definitely like that with a lot of different forums. I have three different forums set as my homepages and at least one of those is constantly open in a tab the whole time I'm online. I always refresh, hoping for new posts. xD I read a lot on forums too, probably more than I post.

ShinjisLover September 16th, 2009 6:18 AM

I have the "I wanna see how many notifications I have!" kind of addiction to every forum with notifications I go to. XD

BJ088 September 16th, 2009 6:22 AM

haha thank God I'm not the only one!
But it gets so addictive! I'll check PC and respond to heaps of stuff (if need be), then 10 minutes later I'll find myself clicking back onto it haha

Ageless Irony September 16th, 2009 7:50 AM

Imma hold an intervention for you guys.

Add me to the list, Genesis. I don't generally go to stuff like Wi-Fi or RP, but the things I do check, I check to death. Refresh, refresh, refresh, post, post, new topic (not often), post, refresh, post, etc.

Kazukii September 16th, 2009 8:06 AM

I am surely a forum addict.. I'm constantly on here and my own forum. Plus, I'm registered on lots of other forums I reguarly check out.. so yeah I'd classify myself as an addict.. :D

Syrex September 16th, 2009 8:06 AM

I am a forum addict haha. I do all those things you've listed.

processr September 16th, 2009 8:42 AM

In short, I'm not. I think it's stupid that one should feel the need to check a website every five seconds.

Not when you're job consists of being in front of a computer every day doing the same thing for hours on end. You kind of seek enjoyment out of speaking on forums and hoping there's new posts.

Forums are my only friends...

I hope not...


I used to be quite addicted to forums, especially on another one, but i left and sorta made this place home. even though i don't have a lot of friends added on this one, i like kicking back and reading what everyone else has to say, maybe get little OCD on the trading and battling aspect, but generally: input opinion here and there, and ultimately, have fun with it all.

BenRK September 16th, 2009 9:18 AM

Haha, no, I was kidding of course. But I do have friends on forums, there's no question about that.

BJ088 September 16th, 2009 9:31 AM

Can't argue that forums are great places to meet new people. I mean, I have THAT many people on my MSN and Skype from other countries solely because we share the same interests and met on forums. It's great.

Mitchman September 16th, 2009 9:49 AM

Yes PC is my internet forum drug. I spend a lot of time on it and I just browse it too fast.

Rokusasu September 16th, 2009 11:33 AM

I plead guilty to the second and third things on the list in the OP. :P

Timbjerr September 16th, 2009 11:58 AM

Not as much as I was when I first joined PC (my ppd stat in my profile used to hover around 30 I believe...), But I'm definitely more addicted to PC now than I was during the two years before I made this account. XD

Hiidoran September 16th, 2009 7:04 PM

I am pretty addicted to this old place. I don't do nearly as much posting as I was once capable of, and I definitely haven't been as social, but I'm online a good number of hours throughout the day. Campus-wide Wi-Fi and a laptop that tags along with me usually equates to lots of lurking when I get bored in class. :x

^This.
I get Ctepgasmic whenever I see "You have X new notification(s)," and I just have to see it and respond immediately.
And yeah, I always refresh in order to see the new posts.
*refresh page*

Citrinin September 16th, 2009 9:02 PM

To say that I'm addicted to the forum is an insult to those who have real addictions, but I am quite attached to this place. :3 Like Roku, I do #2 and #3.

So get a hobby. To be 'addicted' to a forum is, as Citrinin has said, an insult to to people with real addictions. I would doubt that any of the people who say they are 'addicted' to PC really are, but given the amount of people who seem to take orgasmic joy in a +1 to their post count I'm not so sure.

Witch September 16th, 2009 10:24 PM

I check all my forums at least 5 times a day to see whats going on & keep up with everyone

Guillermo September 17th, 2009 1:39 AM

I wouldn't say I'm addicted, but PC is an addicting forum. There's so much to do and so many people to met it's pretty hard not to constantly check back every 5 or so minutes. As far as addictions goes, no. I'm not addicted. Like Citrinin said, that would be an insult to people with real addictions to serious things.

Tudj September 17th, 2009 2:57 AM

I was addicted to this when updates where coming when HG/SS was announced. Also the era of Shiny Gold I was glued to my Computer, especially PC :D.

Haza September 17th, 2009 3:06 AM

I may be addicted to PC, and thats it. I was addicted to SerebiForums for a few month but only because PC was blocked on my school laptop. It was lame compared.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ September 17th, 2009 5:34 PM

I'm only addicted to this website because I want to hit 10,000 post

Sweet Jasmine September 17th, 2009 8:58 PM

If I'm just going to waste my time to sit and to sleep. :( . How about go to something that'll interest you like PokeCommunity! ;D

Rex54 September 18th, 2009 4:08 AM

Ye, I always do even though I don't reply to many topics. I'm more of the silent type but I do keep clicking the New Posts button. I have no life right now, heh.

Angela September 18th, 2009 11:46 AM

xD... Anyway when I first joined I always clicked the new post button.. But now not so much.. I just go to the section I last posted in and see if someone replies.. So I'm pretty much limited to like 3-4 sections now.. xD So I might miss some fun threads somewhere.... xD
