I know, back in the days when I was a hardcore nerd I posted like 200 times a day on seven different Star Wars forums.
but if one is bored to the point your grey matter is floating away to oblivion, then the obvious course is the one not taken...ffs get out, or read a book.

Technically, I don't have to post either. I stick around because of all my friends and because I have a lot of fun playing in the RPs here (the Star Wars one in particular) 😄 Because quite frankly, the RPs are what initially made me stay at KMC and not disappear after a month or two (I had joined the Matrix one almost immediately after joining)....which I'm quite glad of, because I've met all my closest friends on KMC because of them.

I just find, and maybe you see it differently, that, if I'm here too much, ie, when I'm at work, I get...what's the word? Sick of it? Depressed by it? It's a catch 22, because when things at work are slow, I tend to stray to this place more, and in turn that makes me feel worse.

I get bored by it, too....I was away on vacation for two weeks, and I've hardly posted at all outside the RPs since I've gotten back. I've become bored by it. I have it open all the time when I'm online, but that's usually because I've got Firefox so I'll have it open on a tab and then forget about it, or check every once in a while to see if there's anything interesting.
And lately, there hasn't been.
Maybe once people are back in school things will go back to normal a bit.

I also find, that like RL, if you spend TOO much time with a person, eventually you begin to find them abrasive and annoying....well, it's the same here. I've drifted away from people. I've closed people off. I've come to loathe some of the things I see here.
I mean, look at you and I Lana, we used to be friends...and now I KNOW for a fact I annoy you, and we don't talk anymore. It's kind of sad in a way.
Originally posted by Lanai understand psychological addictions for what they are...but to actually think that out of a million other little trivial thing one can/and or should do that they would gravitate to this forum.
A mental (or psychological) addiction is not odd in the least. It's very common, in fact.
hence my comment on the oddness of being or thinking that one is mentally addicted to a forum. if it goes beyond enjoyment for what it is, or the act of meeting and talking to online friends, then i find that odd.

It is sad....I have to say there's only a select few people on here that I still talk to a lot. Few enough where I can count them on one hand.
*pokes*
We should talk more again.

There are even fewer for me. When I first came here, it seemed like such a tight knit core group that I fell in with...and now...it's fallen apart. I talk to...maybe...3 people on a regular basis, on a more intimate level than posting I mean. It used to be so many more...and I felt closer to more people...at least as close as I can be online.
Yeah? You think? I guess before I reach my 'quit' date, we should...I'd like that. 🙂

I think right now there's 4 people I still talk to a lot (as in pretty much every day) outside of posting.
I think a lot of people are drifting apart. Older members are getting bored with this place, or in a lot of cases, are getting older and becoming busy with other things in real life. A lot of the people on here are in their teens and their interests change as they're growing up. Friendships fade away. It's sad, but it's the same as in real life.
And I'll PM ya later, but right now I've got to go and help my mom with some cleaning.
....holy shit, talking about people growing up, I just realized my 20th birthday is in just under six months 😑

I agree...life continues to move on...
*theme song from Breakfast club plays in my head* 🤨
And people come in and out of our lives like busboys in a restaurant...
Allright Lana, I'll talk to you later, old woman. 😛
