"My name is Cong and I am a chat-a-holic"#
"Hi cong..."
Most of you a probably tittering at the very idea of chat forums annonymous. But the addictive nature of these forums is becoming an ever increasing problem. Recently I have found myself spending every spare minute in these forums, either desrperately trying to up my position in the top 100 posters from the last 30 days leaderboard, or even worse than that, causing my eyes and my brain untold damage in my desperate attempts to get another hit of 'GAD'.
These endless hours spent desperately trying to find something funny to say, has taken it's toll on all other aspects of my life. My managerment career in Championship Manager 2001/02 has sufferend and i am now stuck with Farnborough.
My physical health has detriorated too. My eyes are red raw and the ends of my fingers sore from typing.My butt has doubled in size where I have been sat on it all day and night and my friends have ostracised me.
Therefore I think these forums should henceforth carry suffienct warnings about the effect they can have on your life. If not I will be going to the newspapers to alert people of this alarming new trend.

Yeah, I

Who are they then, Afro?
I'll have to get rid of them. ;D
That's now changed with the Snes emulators.
SR forums. I've been using all my internet time on these except for the following distractions that keep me away for maybe a month, and then get ignored for ever.
Planetarion.
Neopets.
Netstorm (still going strong but it's not completely taken over like PA and Neopets did.)
Still, this is the closest to a social life that I' ll ever get ;-D, I get to talk about my favourite subject and win games too!
What more could anyone ask from an internet forum?

You must think your good or something...

I am a loyal poster, after a period away, my cravings brought me back.
Even at school during IT lessons i some how manage to add the odd post in the forums.
Same! Its a relief from copying 100 word essays :D.
