I guess I have graduated as a full blown nerd since I joined this website over two years ago. It's one of the few ways of staying in contact with one or two people I've gotten to know in that time.

I read more than I post.

I find boards to probably be the best website I've ever been involved with.. If you need help with something, start a thread and you get alot of useful replies along with some great banter! I wouldn't say I'm addicted to it but I do log in everyday.. And here I am now, so you decide!

Have recently quelled it. A bit.

I don;t understand how you can be addicted to just reading boards.ie

In OP's defence it certainly is possibly to be an addicted boardsie by read only!

Can't sleep, boards'll eat me.

Work tried to take over my life so I retaliated with boards.

Yes.

The genuine sadness that comes over me at the 3am backup tells me i have a problem.

I hate the 3am backup

It took over some of my summer life, but once back in college i'll be on here ALOT less, and certainly not at this time of night. Although i do like being on boards after such a long time still:)

about two months ago i went down to the boards server room and jacked directly in.

Ah the joys of interweb and work... therefore i do my surfing in work and still enjoy life..

I live in constant fear of my bosses checking my Internet usage and then inevitably sacking me..

ewj1978

oh crap...never thought of that.... but wouldnt they be just monitoring your downloads?

Quazzie

we work through a server which monitors all data transfer.. I know it's only a matter of time before they see how much I use the net but I still can't stop myself... I think definitely a touch OCB
