I'n not addicted to Boards but I only log on when I'm full of drink and drugs.

NegativeCreep

Not in the same way that I'm addicted to other things but im on it fairly often.

Ruudi_Mentari

I see here like the tv room, in a hostel in which I try to keep up appearances

and everyone is splayed out on beanbags, watching old re-runs of SNL. and belushi is being kirk

DyldeBrill

Come on here after a doobie or 2 and laugh my bollox off at people like Mr. Wong

Gorilla Rising

Nah not addicted at all. I can stop anytime I want, I just don't want to.

Besides, I usually only post when I'm drinking.

CrazyRabbit

No.

There are times I'm really addicted to it, then there are times I couldnt be bothered with it at all.

No wouldnt say addicted really myself you know, Like checking out the odd post wouldnt be like when Im on facebook. Mad for the posts on the that as they say. Ha thats the best craic cause you know who youre writing to so bit easier to understand most of the time

I wouldent say I am addicted but reading and posting here is much better than reading the newspapers, much more informative here.

Queen-Mise

No

Yeah I am addicted... I log on to Cool Vids & Links & Pics, and then wander from there... And then come up for air who knows how long later.

Not into Boards as I once was. Used to be on it religiously but I dropped off in activity. Now I only lurk in the back and come out with a post every now and then.

StewartGriffin

I just come here in the vain hope that Whoopsadaisydoodle might some day notice me

some times when i am sleeping i wake up in a cold sweat and have to log into boards.ie and go to the cold sweating at night time forum.

Was addicted with a previous name. Used tob ring boards up in nearly every conversation with my mates which they thought was weird, which it was.

Made a conscious decision to make things happen in my life, I was on the dole at the time - I gave it up, still use it for recreation/information

Went on a few times directly after and was the exact same poster I was previously but went from having ****loads of thanks per post to none - which said a lot to me.

Since I gave it up (habitually), and I'm quite serious here, I went from entrance level to assistant vice president in the company that I went and made a job appear for me.

All the hours you can spend talking pure bs here can really be spent more productively. I spend a large part of this evening booking a hotel for holidays with the missus - 4* all the way.
If I was still as into boards as I was then I wouldn't have the missus or the directional income.

I'm sure I'm far from unique and there are a lot of other 2nd reges with the same story

Ruu

Ha, of course not. Silly billy! >_>

Question I'd like to ask for the boards long termers is: at any stage have you got bored of it and just said fock them fockers or would you still check it everyday religiously?

I stopped posting for around two years at one stage, some more 3 month+ stints too. Not bored of it at all, but I still have to check the forum I mod every day whether I like it or not.

Almost 12 years on the site at this stage, and I still like it

good t hear ye gave it up man and ye got a missus n that ye know. Im on the dole myself cause theres actually nothin else to be doin at the moment like. Once ye find the rite person youll settle down probably wouldnt even go on the internet anymore as much as ye use to, then probably not on boards.ie at all even

You can't be that successful if it takes you a whole evening just to book a hotel though.

It's not exactly rocket-science now is it? :pac:

No

Boards is much more entertaining than Facebook. And there are no pictures of peoples dinners on it either, which is a relief!

Clandestine

20 minutes a day is about what I spend. Not much

danslevent

No

I do bring up boards a lot in conversation. Got sick of having to explain what it is so now creepily refer to any stories as something that happened "tos friend of mine" rather than "a random stranger online"

It's pretty hard to be addicted to a site you only just joined today though isn't it?
