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

    I'm hopelessly addicted to this thing.

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

    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.

    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..........

    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.

    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.

    I need my 'fix' otherwise grumpiness ensues.

    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!

    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."

    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.

    :o
