Addicted
Between the death of a beloved/valued member on one of my heart boards and a phone call from a friend who I haven't heard from in a long time because he is no longer on any message board, it has been quite an interesting week. These instances reminded me of several members from all of the different boards who either are truly no longer with us, or just have "fallen off the face of the earth" due to not posting or visiting the forums anymore.... When I notice people haven't posted in a while, I'll wonder what happened to 'em and hope/pray that all is well. Heh ... given a few other things going on now and over the course of the last month or so, I've thought about taking a "leave of absence" from the forums for a while, but each time I think I will, another new subject is posted by someone that keeps me active. Course, it's always interesting to see the choice of "topic title" people use for their thread-starting posts....
This got me to wondering if I'm just addicted to the boards and to reading what others have to say ... or, if I stay because of the people. Perhaps it is a mixture of the two...but, for me, I think it is more because of the people, because I miss regulars when they don't post for a long time...and I don't like missing anything or anyone....
How about you? Why do you visit the forums? Addiction? People connections? Or?

LOL!
You wrote it ... not me

RE: Addicted
I frequent two forums, this one and a taxidermy forum, both of which I orginally visited because I had questions but stayed because of the people. I've visited other forums but they just didn't grab me, I may go back to them from time to time but I am by no means a regular on those.
I've got a long ways to go to make it to the top ten list here, but I'm 7th in posts and 3rd in time spent on the other one - so ya better watch out

RE: Addicted
I originally joined to get info on Montes when I was looking at buying the car I now have. I too stayed because of how nice everyone here is.
Other than the past couple weeks (I've been sick), I too am on here almost everyday.
So yeah, I guess I am addicted.
