Not in a bad way.
I feel I do because I've got all I need from it, yet I still come back to read posts etc. 
I totally feel like I need to move on, because it is taking to much of my time. |

I know I spend too much time on here.  I hope I get a job soon, that will help me cut down.

I'll stick around because I care about the people that care about me but to be perfectly honest, I'm a little tired of WP myself.

| I already left WP for some time, it's one of those forums that I really don't need to be on but I will go on if I really feel the need to. |

Same. I also can't identify with the geist which permeates the site.

If it is affecting your life, like spending time here that you could use in necessary things like sleeping, you need to take a step back. If you browse the forums after dinner, and spend only a couple of minutes, checking if someone replied to your posts, then it's fine.
But if you spend the day browsing and browsing and skip meals, don't shower, and sleep at 4 am, then you definitely need to take a step back.
Is it that bad?

| I find the less time I spend here the better I like the forum. Need a little time every day, but not too much. |

Yes. I'm an addict. I spend way too much time here.
I turn to WP for comfort, and it's good for that, but it also causes me to waste a lot of time.
OTOH, I'm pretty certain that if I left, I'd just find a new and perhaps less productive way to waste time online. 
So it doesn't matter, just like most of life. |

Yeah I do have a problem. I'm very impulsive.
I'm going to make a consious effort to limit my time. I find it kind of like email, apart from there are a billion different emails all over the place. |

I feel like I haven't left the house in 5 months, the longest I have been away
from WP is 1 day, even when I am on the road, I make sure the motel has
wifi for my laptop, maybe we should start a thread on WP addiction, because
it is beginning to be a problem for some of us.
Would that be a good idea?
