Mummy, make the nasty man go away.

Hi .... my name is Bob .... want to argue? .....

TGS · 11-05-2010, 07:18 PM

When you say "want" do you mean have a desire to, or do you mean am driven uncontrollably to?

Hi my name is um d something... dg that's it.. desertgrandma.

Hi my name is desertgrandma and I am addicted.

Well, I'm not really addicted. I only have my morning coffee while on MR. Oh, and eat lunch while reading MR. OK, so I eat dinner and scroll though too. Maybe, a bit in the evening... And, of course, just before bed.... But, that doesn't mean I'm addicted. I can stop anytime I like.

***Does having 4 windows of MR open at once count as being addicted

Hi, pooh

Alarm? Why waste time going to bed and getting up again?
Just have MR scrolling in forum spy and set MR to send an email when a new post comes up. Then have your email window open and set to sound an alarm to let you know a new post is there.

Just grab a blanket and pillow and you are all set. See? You don't have to waste time with all that going to be and getting up again.

Welcome and don't worry about being late. We all understand. You just had to read that last thread all the way through.. all 3,246 posts.

Yes, thank you. I'll have a couple of those yummy looking chocolate ones.

By the way, this is going to be part of new psychological phenomenon.
"What causes people to get addicted to forums?"

Probable guesses:
1. Large number of members and thus high update rate.
2. Members full of life and open hearted.
3. Age group ratios! (Maybe earning population isn't that much part of MR as old and young are, middle ones are busy at jobs?!)
4. Uniqueness of forum being one of its type. (MR is almost unique and expert forum about e-Readers.)
5. Need of society by PC-users.

What is an internet forum?

I know they have a forum in Rome...

I'm just here, on MR. I stay away from those forum things. Don't want to get addicted.
