    Question How do you get over an addiction to internet forums?

    Guys, I think I need a 12 step program. I noticed that there's no such thing as, "Let me check to see if anyone responded to my subscribed threads real quick."

    Any ideas on how to curb my addiction? Or any other stories you'd like to share about forum addictions? Just wondering, since I know I'm not alone here.

    Yup, I'm just the same. I leave the page open all day and just check new posts whenever I'm passing the computer. I have to constantly remind myself to post in my D&D game threads and do my homework instead of hanging around here all the time...just ask Ari

    You could always set parental controls against yourself and block the site... or visit several innapropriate sites and get your comp so full of unwanted pop-ups that you refuse to use it often.
