Fora of this type do tend to be addictive.
You can gradually reach a point where you have to read all posts and reply to most, and then look for the replies to your replies.
I'm starting to use the "Cancel" button when I catch myself responding to something that really isn't that important, and I simply don't view some sections.
I'll break the habit a bit soon, as when I leave for the UK early next year I'll be without broadband for a while, and I don't use a phone for browsing.

So you're saying that this thread is important then Psyber... cause you replied

Thanks

No, just find it interesting how many posts people have... surely Magpie in the 80's has the most though?? I've never really looked.

I've said it before though, this forum has everything, every subject, everything you could possibly want to read or contribute to..... there really is no need to visit any others

[Wedgie]

Yep Maggies recently passed me.
He contributes a lot of good stuff though, Id still lead the way as far as dribble (or drivel) goes!

i'd like to say i'm not an addict. take away 4/5ths of my posts from the quiz room i become just another normal poster.
my rapid growth has only come by the introduction of the quiz room. having started with a quiz here and there this room has snowballed to a level one didn't expect.

Well, it doesn't have a spirituality forum where we can discuss our inner beings and nature of existence.




FC, you're wide open for a hippy joke here...

Hmmm

What is a 'normal' poster Magpie in the 80's ??

I'm sure my husband doesn't think I'm 'normal' having been on here so much

Well I'm taking you as important..
I meant to say I apply that criterion if it is something that may get me flack I don't want to bother with, though it also depends how mischievious I am feeling at the moment.

Aww aren't you nice

Yes I agree sometimes just as wise not to get involved in any 'flack' as you say.... although sometimes it is funny to read other people getting into 'flack'

I went from 'uncomfortable' to comfortable in 2 days I reckon... ....to adictted in 3 !!

No you're right. This really is a good forum, heaps of friendly, well mostly friendly people.

this place has something for everyone

[Wedgie]

Some people complain this place is over moderated at times but we are strict in trying to keep people pleasant as it makes it a more enjoyable environment for people to come to, especially a lot of people who find it hard to 'break in' to other forums where there's cliques and rude people. I'd like to think this is a welcoming forum and Mum's feedback indicates it is and we're on the right track.
We keep the idiots out but hopefully it attracts the quality people and I think it does.

[Mickyj]

I must be addicted check this forum before any of my many fishing forums.Hell you even get wrestling news here

[devilsadvocate]

Heroin, Smoking and Binge drinking are overrated.

Long live SA Footy.
