I visit Eurobricks twice a day on normal school days (by that I mean non-early days or holidays), but each "session" is one hour long (5 PM - 6 PM and 9 PM - 10 PM, PST). :grin:

But on weekends, I check Eurobricks maybe 5 or more times a day, and I always get so bored when I don't see any new news, posts, or really interesting MOCs. When that happens, I usually just take a few hours break off of Eurobricks and play some video games. :tongue:

And is it just me, or does anyone else sometimes get the feeling that there's some threads and discussions that you missed after reading almost every single new post on every single forum? :look:

Oh, and Big Cam, you really seem to be addicted to Eurobricks. Check my screencap of the top 20 posters on January 11th:

I decided to take a screenshot of that because I've never seen 56 posts by one person in 24 hours, and I knew I could use it someday. :laugh:

Thats worrying. :cry_sad:

Practically, as long I have an Internet connection with proper keyboard plus quiet environment, you will probably see me, most of the time refreshing the active topics page every few minutes or so, checking for latest updates. At the same time, I will open up so many tabs at one go, wanting to reply to those topics that I wanted, but might forget later, so an open tab is a good reminder for me. The only times when I am not viewing Eurobricks, is when I am at overseas, sleeping or outside. Then again, with modern technology as your enabler, it's not hard to view those active topics while on the go.

Therefore, for myself, I believe I am addicted to EB.

I'm on Eurobricks most the time. It was hard to choose between Big cam log off or 10+ times a day. But i ended up choosing at least 10+ times a day. Big cam I think you are addicted to EB. I see your posts everywhere, everyday, 24/7 in all the catergories !!! :laugh:

Yeah, I'm addicted. Even if I'm not an incredibly active poster, I definitely check for new posts every few minutes that I'm in my room. I use the New Posts option over the Active Topics, because if for whatever reason I'm away more than a day (no way!) I can see everything I missed. I spend so much valuable time to do other things, but time here is so nice for me. It's like a perfect little community I can escape to when the day is rough. :classic:

I used to be a "Big Cam log off!" but since I got engaged I've slowed down. I'd say I check EB about 5 times a day. Also dr spock you don't need to say that you need to cut back three times. :sceptic:

I think I need to cut back... :classic:

Is there something wrong with your posting or are you trying to catch our attention?

You have been posting 3 times of a similar statement in this very topic....

And, I don't think it's nice to be so repetitive when you are just repeating it again and again...

haha, thanks for all the responses everyone, this is what i was looking for. More addicts and people whoa re sick of me :laugh:

To my defense on that darn top ten poster thing, it stinks because I am very active every morning at work so for like 2-3 hours I post alot, then the next morning for that first hour or two, if I post again it hasn't quite been 24 hours so it was already at like 40 from the day before and then it looks like I've done like 70 in one day but it retains alot of yesterdays posts too. :sceptic: I am clearly in a different timezone than the EB forum server. :laugh:

I probably should cut back a bit too... :classic:

So take a break :sceptic: It's not that hard, even I can do it. I usually don't come on at all in the evening, and sometimes the weekend. It's probably healthy :classic:

edit: I see WF addressed this already

I'm pretty sure it by your number of posts in the last 24 hours, so it's continually updated. I could be wrong, though.

Ssshhhh.

I think you're right, but still my theory still stands minus my jibberish about the server.

I'm sure psychologists would have something to say about this... (making your addiction seem less severe than it really is). :grin:

Just to be clear: Your posts are not irrelevant or annoying, so I'm fine with your post counts. I just think you may be the EB member to fly through the rank system at the fastest pace ever.

I think you can call me an adict! I check eurobricks before I go to work, during work, during my break, after work, when I'm back at home and just before I go to bed. So you could call it an adiction, I guess.

I check Eurobricks around 20 times a day and have been posting around 5 times per day :grin: . So yes I would say I'm addicted.

ADDICTED!

I have Eurobricks open in a window, almost every time I'm on a PC... which is most of the day. Sometimes I forget to log-off so it probably seems like I've done a 24hr stretch! I'm even more active since introducing Jedi Duel, thus further cementing my addiction.

It's all good though... Eurobricks is the best site on teh internets.

:laugh: nice.

Meh, it's just a tag by your name, they stop at 4k posts anyway so it's not like I'm striving for anything, otherwise I'd just stop posting at 4k. I'll keep posting until I'm done with LEGO's, so probably not for a very long time. It's not a contest to me, I just love peoples work and reviews of LEGO, and I can't help but comment.
