Especially OT. Do you find yourself spending hours on end hitting refresh and clicking through threads? Would you be embarrassed if someone irl knew how much time you spent here?

No. Certainly not to any extent that I used to be.

The decreased traffic is a bit of a drag sometimes. Often when I check back, I'll have a bit of a scroll over the board, read the odd new post, then leave. And no, I have no reason to feel embarrassed.

Used to be addicted, but not anymore. I still like this place though. Although I am addicted to checking my own topics if I feel like it's a good one.

No. I come here out of habit, not addiction. If I got a new job that didn't allow me access to the internet or my phone, I probably would lose interest quickly, as most of my time spent here is when I'm at work.

Well I have been banned from most forums (except the ones that let me stay but shut down). Supposedly I am too angsty/annoying and joke around to much in an inappropriate manner. I wish Neogaf would let me back in. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/87/bannedws.png/ What a mean way to ban haha.

No way. I've had an account here for six years, but I've gone a loooooong time without coming here until a few days ago. I just like to check in every now and then.

No, I take long breaks from posting very often. Ironically, when I am posting I'm often using actual physically addictive stuff.

Absinthe is really nice. I just tried it for the first time a couple weeks ago. Definitely something I need to do more of.

Nah. I wasn't addicted when I first joined in 2003 and I'm not now (200 posts in 9 years). It's entertaining but not one of my prioritized things in my daily routine.

I don't use the forums that much. I've gone days or weeks without posting anything and if I do it's usually just 1-3 posts a day.

yes they are very strict. it prohibits "epic" threads from being created because it is so heavily moderated here. go to the misc on bb.com, the rules are more relaxed which allows for a much more fun environment. you won't get banned for insulting someone, unlike on here. There are waaayyy more users on there as well. You refresh the page and there is a whole set of different threads from 30 seconds prior. many funny threads over there. none on here.
