Is the boards addictive

daithicarr

I think I'm getting addicted to the boards, i cant stop going on when i am supposed to be looking for a job, every time i go online to look at job vacancy's etc i end up here.
when i go to the supermarket i end up forgetting to buy a vital ingredient because I'm mulling over some post or another from here.

So if anyone knows of a job where i can get paid and go on the boards all day let me know.
obviously the civil service is out cause they are not recruiting

Sounds like something my mother would say..

"Where's your homework? wait.. ARE YOU ON THE BOARDS AGAIN????"

Kiera

I used to think so but i'm finding that i log on less and less these days.

Jesus Wept

god i hope it passes after a while, yesterday i was supposed to do a lot of stuff about the house, in garden, after 6 hours the missus comes home to find one half assembled piece of ikea furniture ...eh you see i was...well i kind did the dish's..... then i move tha cardboard from the corner to the door... and eh..went on the boards.

now im sitting here, having been on since 8 this morning, just having my breakfast and contemplating should i have a shower and brush my hair , since in all likelihood i don't have anywhere to go today

Any addiction involving a mouse and a keyboard is pretty sinister I think.

Unless it's a mouse who's addicted to playing keyboard, that'd just be crazy cool.

The boards? Would you use it like this:

'I think I've caught the boards!'

Later, after spending time in Fashion & Accessories:

'I think I've caught the ghey!'

Fago!

Of course not.

Oh... wait. Boards? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

minidazzler

Yes, boards is very much addictive. I know I am. But it's not a very bad addiction, at least I know my internet friends are as addicted as I am and will never leave:D

Professey Chin

showing the 20 most recent posts on the home page is fiendish. Reading all sorts of stuff about things I've no involvement in. plus, leave it 2 minutes and refresh and you've a whole new list.

nothing but crack dealers is TheBoards!!

it facilitates my proctrastination like you wouldn't believe!

daithicarr

i also find my self joining new threads as i wait for replys on other ones

scarymoon1

me thinks some people should plug out the computer and get out the front door for a while!!!

ScumLord

Dude, boards is like totally safe, I used to smoke it all the time but now I hook up the cat5 direct to my vain yo.

Loopy

If I didnt have boards in work I would be bored out of my box.
So from 9-5, Mon-Thurs, yes Im addicted.

RoadKillTs

Yes it is. Very addictive. When it goes offline I have mini panic attacks in between checking for new tweets from boards to see whats happening.

orourkeda

It's an excellent tool for getting out of anything that resembles work or unnecessary activity.

Insect Overlord

I'm hopelessly addicted to this thing.

Wish they still took site-ban requests in Help Desk...

Mammanabammana

Hmmm...this is my first ever boards post...should I get out now before it's too late?

I probably won't, though.

Too late already, then.

brummytom

I think my post count speaks for itself

Just came by AH for another fix.

donmeister

I wouldn't say im addicted as such, on days with interesting topics/ questions asked, I'd find myself on it more often then if there where boring ass threads!

I am a procrastinator though..........

TheScribbler

I'm not addicted. It's just that I keep coming back to view how depraved the world has become and end up contributing comments of my own. the fact that I initiate threads as well can easily be explained by my wish to spread a little happiness. Anyway, that's my story.

The only thing that really puts me off though is rudeness and bigotry and we seem to have our share of than on Boards as well.

Yeah me too...although it has more to do with being banned than anything else

Abi

Nope, I wouldn't say I'm addicted to boards. I come back for the people I've gotten to know here mostly. But its always been a great boredom killer between jobs, and before I started college. To be fair, most people seem to go through phases with boards.

Naikon

As addictive as crack.
I need my 'fix' otherwise grumpiness ensues.

LEIN

Can be. Depends on the mood.

I am addicted a little, but same as Abigayle I'm more addicted to the regulars who I've gotten used to reading about! I'm sure my husband would say that I'm totally addicted but I'm sure I could give up tomorrow if I wanted to....I just don't want to!

I dunno why, but "the boards" has put me into a fit of laughter!

I prefer the facebook, tbh.

It conjures up images of two oul fellas in the pub for some reason.

"Arragh sure, wasn't I on the boards earlier, and weren't they giving awful shtick to the poor oul farmers."

"The boards? Ah jaysus sure they're a buncha looders altogether, that lot on the boards."

aine-maire

Yes. Indeed it is...so many hours wasted here in the run up to the Leaving Cert (well I'm in the Leaving Cert forum, it's useful...)
This is my third time on today. Actually more of a serial lurker, as opposed to poster.


I'm aine-maire, and I have a problem.
