Hello,

I'm curious to see if any others share the same view point i do. I think the ubuntu forums should have to close/ban themselves for being to addicting. Ive wasted my entire night in these forums, creating threads, and helping others. this is really the first night I've ever posted on the forums and I'm nearing 100 posts. see what i mean? I don't even have any intentions of getting off. do you think there is something wrong with me, or is it just natural to love the OS and its forums? :confused::confused::confused:

I think it just means you like helping people, keep at it, though I'd try to not become addicted, take regular breaks etc. :)

Don't let the forums overtake you. If you do the forums enough that they start to do you, perhaps setting a time limit will help, for example, you could limit yourself to no more than four hours a day.

Yes. More specifically it is anger at being accused of denial.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt...

Four hours a day?? Isn't that a bit too much?

That would depend on how much time you have.

If you can afford four hours, then by all means, four hours be it.

If you can only do one, than only do one.

and if you can manage 24, do 24. but please don't - that is way too much. :)

It's highly addictive. Watch out. I'd rather start smoking.
