I think I have a unhealthy addiction to this site. Thus I have decided to take a two week hiatus from here.


Does anyone suffer from an addiction to this site?

I read in several magazines that Internet Forums can suck up one's social, romantic and career life. Has anyone had such symptoms? I got this from a magazine (I think it was a psych magazine):

Ask yourselves these questions:

What's the longest you have been without logging on to KMC?

How many hours a day on average do you spend at KMC?

Have you missed class/work to continue a debate/discussion at KMC?

Have you ever experienced very strong emotions (i.e. anger, sadness, happiness) from a debate/discussion?

Do you often experience muscle cramps in your hands/knuckles?

Have you ever felt more emotion (i.e. anger, annoyance, love) to another KMC member than you have to a person in your own life?

How many days a week to log on to this forum/

Have you ever logged on to this forum during a holiday (that one would normally celebrate)

Is your social life nonexistant? How many friends do you have/

Is your romantic life nonexistant? (romance with other forum members do not count) Has someone ever broken up with you as a result of your forum time?

Have you gained considerable weight? Is your diet true to the traditional food prymaid? Do you exercise often? How many days a week to you exercise?

Have you ever missed or been late to a important obligation because of your forum time? Was it more personal than business or was it vice versa?

Do you consider yourself a spiritual/religous person?

Have you ever experienced pain in your eyes?

Do you have "enemies/rivals/people you dislike" on this forum? If so, do you ever go out of your way to insult or chaste them?

What is the latest you have ever spent on forum (i.e. 2:00 am)

Do you think of this forum constantly during the day when you are not online? Do you feel anxious to get back online? Do you often feel butterflies/stomach pains when you are not logged on to KMC?



That's pretty much it. Anyhoo, as I said I have decided to take time off from this forum. I mean no offense nor affluence to anyone as per bearing of this thread. Goodbye to everybody for awhile. I hope this thread makes people think about their priorities and such.

Bye! hi2

Tex gave me some form of herpes that keeps me coming back to this site. I then passed it along to Ush during one of our "towel whipping" marathons. Whether or not he's affected by it, I do not know.

I also miss the ToMacco Slapping Machine

I can honestly say that I'm not addicted to this forum. But, I'm a member of so many different forums (6) that all together I can spend about that many hrs. on the internet in one sitting.

Oh my god, I've become a net nerd. It took me one month to become a complete and total net nerd.

Nope, not addicted
only thing i'm addicted to is nutella.... droolio

Moderators of KMC are aliens from Gliese 817 who send hypnotic rays through to computer into everyone's eyes. See, I didn't want to write this, but they force me to write this!

I CANT STOP DEBATING!

Was addicted, quit for 2 weeks and got addicted to a few other forums, I just come here for laughs now.

*rgh* *extingushes* borg resistance is futile

I don't think I'm addicted.

KMC has helped me mature, and I also learn more on the Internet in general than I do at school.

well, i woudlnt say im addicted, i just find this a really great forum.

people are nice, unlike some forums ive been on

Excuse me for being completely blunt, but that's bollocks. KMC helped you mature? Explain how, I'll apologise profusely if your reasoning is logical

Was addicted for a couple of months but realised this is the damn internet and real life is so much more fun. I come on maybe 15 mins at most any given day, and I come on only about 4 days each week. It's boring now for some reason.

i went everyday during the summer for at least five hours. now i cant go on at all becasue my computer sucks.

Yes I do.
The short time I spend away from it is like withdrawl from Heroine....

Mike, no offence intended, but why do you return at all if it's boring?

I get most my news from here. And check for PMs, I still get some.

Oh right, yeah, I did that when I 'left'. Kept coming back for PMs. Would you call that addiction?

No, I don't think I'm addicted. I'm too busy being an alcoholic.

hehe,

yea pretty much, I am addicted.
And Syren, yes, I've matured on KMC.
Look at some of my first posts and then some that I make now.
I've also become more opinionated among other things.

I kinda sorta matured on KMC as well, but then I immatured too.

I'm a member of Two messgae boards, On KMC I have about 23,000 posts, the other almost 200, what does that say

I matured quite a bit cos of KMC...and people on it...Syren herself pointed this out to me once

Pfft, KMC addiction. Get a life.
