Title: Which is most addictive? IRC'ing or FORUM'ing? or worse, both!
Post by: gizz72 on July 16, 2004, 10:18:37 AM
Greetings,
  I got hooked more on Forum than using my IRC. Hardly use IRC. I wonder what others has to say about it? And LOVING EVERY BIT OF IT!! :lol: I never felt the sensation of it. :lol: Everyday I go to the office and back from it, all I think about is forums.... Pretty soon I can't stop thinking about it. I'm hooked!?! I know it's good becuase you get to meet people and learn their experiences. I guess it's the same thing about IRC'ing. But, when my posts becomes more than 20, I got hooked. I know an officemate who never stop using her Yahoo Messenger Chat! Specially the guys with WebCams. Is this what we call addictive? It's more addictive than playing classic games. I was never like this.

  Actually I still have no/proper word for what it's called. 'Addiction' is too strong for it(forum or IRC addiction), I guess. :lol:

  I think before the Internet it was called (BBS)? I never experience that. But I guess the forums then were like, black and white then. :lol: Now we got EmoIcons to express ones feeling. I wonder what Arpanet chat felt like then? I guess I'll never know?

Reminded me about an Email i've got about

MODERN VERSION OF WHERE BABIES COME FROM ..

SON: Dad, where did I come from?
 
DAD: Okay, we had to have this conversation some day!
 
Dad and mum met in a chat room on the net. I set up a meeting with your mom and we landed in the bathroom at the Cyber CafĂ©.   Then, mom did some downloads from dads memory stick and when dad was ready to upload, we discovered that there was no firewall.  Seeing that it was a bit too late to cancel, I just carried on doing the upload.
Nine months later, the damn virus appeared!

Times change, I guess this is what well tell our grandson what we did in our life time. :lol:

  Want to talk about this new thing?

Regards,

Gizz
