This thread is not to be confused with How long are you on PC per day. To put it simply, say you got grounded, left the forum, or your computer was ripped up by an angry hippopotamus. How hard would you try to get back to PC/how long would you stay away/how much would you harm the hippo?


Personally, I'm not addicted. Of course, I've attempted to leave the forum twice on two different occasions and come back, but third time's the charm. I wouldn't be bawling over not being able to come to Pokecommunity, but I'd be upset. I wouldn't try sneaking on the computer, I can stay away for just how long I wish, and I'd be killing the hippo for a different reason. But I am devoted.

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

Ugh, dude. When I first joined up here, I would be signed in for 4+ hours a day, legit. However, that was before I realized that i did, infact, have a life outside of mindlessly scouring the dark shadows of various online pokemon-forums. Now I'm hardly on 2 hours a week =/

I've made probably about umm...4 or 5 *official* attempts at leaving this site, all of which ended in total failure, usually within 3 or 4 hours. Yeah, pathetic, I know.

Addiction is such a powerful word. It makes those of us who frequent this community very often sound, well, a tad bit like a stalker. xD

Would I say I'm addicted to the Pokecommunity? No, not really. If I wanted to, I could leave this community at any given time for any given time. The better question is, would I ever see the need to?

Sure, I may be logged on the community for the vast majority of my waking day, but that doesn't mean I'm not doing other things while surfing around. If I was addicted to the site, I would keep myself completely glued to the screen and become some kind of hermit. :o

I do enjoy being around the community, however. It does entertain me for hours on end.

As often as I come on here and as much as I enjoy it- life would go on for me quite easily if I could never come back

I don't use "uber" Pokemon, I don't calculate stat values,
I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about
natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them
like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this
philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

I am in no way, at all, addicted to PC. Now if something happen to my computer, I'd go mad...but not over PC. I'm addicted to the net and GFX, not forums :P So yea...I'd pwn that dang dirty hippo with a bat!

I'm proud to say I am not addicted to PC. However I do love this place for whatever odd reason and I'd probably be really angry and/or depressed if PC died.
I try to come on and post every so often and manage the usergroups and stuff. XD

I wouldn't say addicted...but I sure do love it, and I'd have a hard time leaving. It's always open on my browser whenever I'm on my computer =P
That's funny, it's almost like he just said he wasn't addicted.

If you call logging on to PC being the first thing I do in the morning and after school, and refreshing PC the last thing I do before I go to bed being addicted, then yeah I guess I am.

It didn't use to be like this, not too long ago I would only log in once a day for about 20 minutes.

I'm not addicted. I used to be, but not so much. I only go to PC because I got used to get going? frankly if I log in at 12 noon, I wouldn't notice that I actually went in PC till 7 in the evening.
Also, I only go to PC just to answer some PMs and VMs.

I spend a fair bit of time here, although I'm not obsessed with it. I have made numerous friends here, which is the main reason I'm here. Look, if PC went down (God forbid) for a few weeks, I wouldn't be losing sleep, but I enjoy my time here, all the same.

I've just become familiar with this place to the point that it's now a regular haunt of mine. I don't really have a reason to be here but it's nice to be somewhere; if pressed I suppose I'd say I'm accumilating a respectable post count.
I'm a super mod somewhere else so I could leave without being lost with nowhere to go.

I am seriously addicted. I'll log in when I wake up, during school, when I come home, when I'm meant to be asleep. And my parents have tried to banish me from the computer as I was spending way too much time on it. I managed to sneak on at about five in the morning to check for visitor messages and that sort of thing.

I guess that answers your question, Michii.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

There was a time where I was seriously addicted to PC. :x It was kind of sad, really, because it took up a lot of my time in one day where I could have been doing something a little more constructive. Nowadays, I log in and post from time to time, but I'm not addicted to PC like I used to be.
