I am not addicted, in the same way that I am not addicted to air.

Civet, I have the same problem, which Is why I'm taking a long break from here at the minute ( except for this post of course.)

How about setting yourself "allowed times" such as " I will only let myself look at WP from 7.pm to 8.pm, etc. And then read books, watch tv etc to take your mind off it the rest of the time.

I have added this to my opium, hemp, alcohol, Care Bear reruns, and Fox News addictions.

Heck yes! I never managed to get really 'into' forums before, prefering chat by far, but this has me addicted! Sometimes I feel like I'm sort of forcing myself to check simply because I get 25 emails in my inbox telling me which threads have updates, but it's the old 'once you pop you can't stop' thing! I don't know what I would do if it closed down...

I think my post count speaks for my undying addiction to WP.

As well as my Tendinitis, hehe.

I'm addicted to the message board, because that and PM's are my preffered ways of communicating, rather than chat, phone, ect.

The longer I go without checking the boards, the more I fear coming here because I will be here for days on end reading new posts. I dunno about addicted, because I can avoid coming here, but once I'm here I stay here.. for a long while.

I'm not quite as addicted to this board as I was when I first joined, but the number of times I normally check this forum per day is probably still in the double digits.

I come here every day. Sometimes I come here twice a day. When I come to this site, I am usually here for two or more hours at a time. In our house WrongPlanet has become a verb. When I am sitting on my laptop, my mum asks 'Are you WrongPlaneting?' I think it has become an addiction.

Definately not an addiction, but rather an extreme obsession. I love it here and it seems like people here understand me better than anywhere else, with very few exceptions.

1. my hands crumple in agony

2. I go blind

3. there are simply no more new posts to go through
