    Hi all,

    I found boards.ie about 2 months ago, now i think i post at least 5-10 times a day, I see the same regular names on here all the time. I always have boards.ie open in a window even if just minimised so i can check the new posts every once in a while, at the moment i have luxury of working at home, so i can get easily distracted by a board or discussion,

    I find myself posting computer problems, replying to others, rather then taking out a book, "googling it" or reading a support site. am I alone do I need help? Surely I cant be...

    I've been addicted since first year in college, and i'm in fifth year now so I ain't stopping, it'd be bad luck!

    How do you even have time to sleep with such a hectic posting addiction? 5 entire posts per 24 hours....wow.

    On a serious note, boards is also an addiction for me. Also slightly more then 5 posts a day. Just slightly.

    i joined in may last year i think. joined cause my brother gave out to me cause i requested warez or something on his a/c :D

    It is highly addictive and tbh i think the creators should be brought to court over the amount of time they steal from people. damn you DeVore!!!!
