Do you come to Ubuntu Forums everytime you start the computer?
Do you come to this forum even when you don't have any problems or questions?

:roll:

I come here to see if I can help with anything. I'm online a lot for another forum, so I might as well. ;)

No, not every time.

Yes. I come here to offer support to users with problems; and I come to participate in the Community Cafe. I think the Cafe is one of the better places on the web for idle chit-chat and general tech talk.

I wouldn't say I'm addicted to the site. But I'm certainly a regular.

maybe the word "addict" seems a little bit extreme, but you know what I mean.

This.

What sort of coded language is that?

renkinjutsu was just saying, that he supports/agrees with the quoted statement, to a bolded extent. tinged with amusement.

I have choosen to believe that pwnst*r was implying that he is to addicted to the forums, that he could not wait to refresh the page and see the new replies.

yup. Here most the day- in between tasks at work. Wasting time when I have nothing else to do.

I browse new posts all the time when I don't have a specific problem because I may run across a thread by chance where I can just learn something new. Also, occasionally I find a post from some new user where I actually know the solution and can give back a bit- it's not that often though...

No not every time I open my browser.

Yes I come and help/learn/discuss if I have a problem or not. For instance I just learned the F5 key refreshes the thread. ;)

Yes, I'm addicted. :o

I usually check the forum every day.

I look for problems other people are having so that I know what problems people may have when I recommend Ubuntu to them. I try to be as honest as I can be with anyone thinking about trying Linux. See my sig.

I also try to help people solve their problems. I haven't been able to help lately because I have only put 9.10 on one of my computers. I installed 9.10 on that computer without any problems; therefore, I have no helpful experience with it.

You may ask why I haven't installed 9.10 on my other computers. I have a strange way of testing a new release. First I install a new release as a dual boot with the last release on a computer that is used by my grandchildren. They can choose which version they want to use. The grandchildren will do things with the computer I would never think about doing. If the new release passes the grandchildren's smell-test; then I install it on the other computers. Right now, the grandchildren prefer 9.04.
