Sticky Effect - webproworld Addiction

JuniorOnline · #1 (**permalink**) 01-13-2006, 05:20 AM

Hi All

I am trying to understand, why do I visit webproworld every day without a fail. If I had more time over the weekend, I would too!!

- what are your reasons for visiting the site?
- Do you feel this is becoming like an addiction?
- How long have you been visiting the site? and How often?

In My case, I have been visiting the site EVERY DAY over the past 6 months. I do feel I am addicted to checking new posts every hour if not less. Am I losing my mind here? :P

Thanks
Tala

Nope, unless I am too! I check it more frequently than that! Stops me from going mad when there's not a lot to do at work. It's actually helped my addictions as I use it to keep my mind off wanting to smoke as i've recently quit smoking.

You're losing it Junior! You need help. Try this: http://mentalhelp.net/psyhelp/chap14/chap14w.htm although I fear it's too late.

Hi Junior

I have been visiting this site every day since mid-September. It doesn't help that Page One is setup as the default page on my browser (pc and laptop).

Am I addicted? Oh yes.

Still its better than being addicted to the Steve Brrokstein forum. At least being addicted to this one is productive.

I had a look at the site..and read this..made me laugh:

Do not use self-hypnosis with (a) serious, long-term mental illness <-- how would you know if you had it? and would you be reading that page if you were? lol

(b) or if you are a loner with "spacey" or peculiar ideas. <--- how would you know if you had weired ideas? ;)))

come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn - do I really need that site.. haha

Since New Year i seem to have been checking this way too much erm (5-10 minutes at work)

I think i need a new hobbie, like playing with my usb missile launcher.

Oooo put those claws away you wicked, wicked person. ;) (*grins).

Steve has quite a following actually and hes got a new album out this year so

Shanes alright but Journey South was better.

All meant in the nicest possible way (just slightly cheekier) ;)

Of course I check up on the WPW going ons, current argumentative posts and over-weight threads everyday. I only wish I could subscribe to the forum categories that interest me so I am notified through email whenever a new post is made. It would make my life a lot easier in contributing if I could pre-read the posts in my in-box. HighRanking.com has this available.

None the less, I enjoy the WPW community highly.

I agree with incrediblehelp - it would be nice to have that added facility. By the way, is there an option where you can get an email notification if someone replied to your post?

MuNKyonline · #14 (**permalink**) 01-19-2006, 05:54 AM

This option is available but doesnt seem to work for everyone (like me). Go to edit profile > preferences to enable it =)

RSS feeds (per forum) woud be better. I already get ~1000 mails per day ...

RSS is not so intrusive.

UPDATE_
Just noticed that a feed is available, but not working:

Code:
