My wife thinks so, and I've been here most (but not all) of the day. Now I need to go work on supper (my turn to cook.) I'll be back...hell yes...I'll be back.

No it isn't addictive.

There should be an option for "Hell Maybe!" That's how I answer everything.:p

:eek:At least you can rationalise your adiction with it being a job. The rest of us loosers have no such shine of legitimacy :p

No, of course not. But then alcohol doesn't affect me, either.

I've yet to find any physiological withdrawl symptoms, so no.

Yes. When I am away for a long time, I get the shakes.

I really do need my fix.

There's always the one dork who has to ruin the joking with some elitist drivel.

It most certainly is.

You see my start date?

You know how many times I've tried to quit?

Yeah.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the Mods aren't paid for this. Modness is one of the strongest signs of forum addiction.

Though not a "Hells yeah", I think it's pretty addictive. After every post, gotta keep checkin back to see if there's a reply... Or gotta keep checkin for new and interesting threads... :eek:

Gotta find something more addictive... That'll break the habit... Mabye I should start chain smoking. Mabye.

Hell yes.
Hell no.

I love Celtlund....a man of few words.:p


And hell yes it is. Max is like a dope pusher. He reeled us in knowing we'd keep coming back for more.

My laptop's broken (good thing I was sent that free computer :p) and I've come into town to find an internet cafe so I could come on here. No, it's not addictive. ;)

No its not, and I am not addicted. No not at all. I just really really like NS, I don't need it.

Ah who am I kidding? I am a long term NS junkie and there is no 12 step program that could change that.

Yes, but only slightly more than I'm addicted to the internet and forums in general.

Late bloomer. I was working as a payperboy at 10 years old, worked a soda fountian at 16, and drove a taxi cab at at 18.

I say hell no. Nationstates is addicting, yes, but I'm more of a roleplayer than a generalite.

So no, the general forum is not addictive.

Not so much, NS general is a drug that's really easy to overdoze on. And it's cut with some nasty stuff like fascist yank drivel and stupidity.
