Are you addicted to the Final Fantasy Forums?

I find myself WANTING to log on EVERY DAY. It's mostly because of the people here that I have made friends with. :)

Again, are you addicted to the forums? If so, is there a reason? The people? The games? The RP's?

EDIT: I'm not addicted though, I swear! :wacky:

Perhaps....... Okay fine, I'm addicted. Mostly because every person on here is funny and very nice. It's also pretty cool to talk to people from other parts of the world.
 
Honestly, no, I'm not. :lew: I kinda see the forums as something I'd get on just to talk to people or just to get on when I'm bored or want to learn something about the current Final Fantasy I'm playing at the time.
 
The only reason i log in here is for the people i am friends with. Even though i enjoy a post in spam and i like GFX if it wasnt for those people i wouldnt visit the site. Im in no way addicted, i dont feel the need to come here, im only here when im doing nothing else. But i do enjoy visiting.

same. i only frequent this place cuz the pals i have (and cuz the gfx) but I'm not feeling this "need" to come on here. tbh, i sometimes forget to even visit this place completely :lew:

so, no i'm not addicted to forums. i think i am addicted to tumblr though. :hmmm: i find myself just opening tumblr up (even though I know nothing new is on the dashboard)... that's why i gotta take a few weeks off of tumblr every now and then. it'll consume me if i don't. :okay:
 
Addicted? No. Fond of the forums? Yes.

I usually come onto the forums when I'm waiting for something or someone else, or when I'm off college and need to kill a few hours.

I'm definitely not addicted- no matter how friendly the people are. :awesome:

Especially when you're in the SB basically talking to yourself. :lew:
 
Definitely addicted. I chuck the forum on pretty much all day while I'm working, and then leave them on when I'm having my me time.

Just like Alex, I could quit anytime though :mokken:

...:sad3:
 
I mostly just log on here to read news threads and participate in RPs(and sometimes GFX). I'm also really fond of some of the RPers here. I'm usually just looking through here when I'm bored of other sites though. I've never had a need to come here. Lately, most sections of the site have seemed a little less entertaining :hmmm:.
 
I'm not addicted like I used to be.

I used to log on as soon as I got home from work and start posting etc.

Then there was a period of time when I just stopped logging on at all.

Now I think I've found a good place in which I log on just about every day but I will not let it consume all of my time like I used too.

If there is something worth posting about or someone to talk to then that's great but I have so much going on in real life that I just can't let it take up all of my time. >.<
 
i think it's become more of a habit for me now. i've been on here a lot for the last 5 years, so i'm used to just coming on for the banter. like most other people, if it wasn't for the mates i have here i'd never come again at all.
 
Nope. Not addicted.
I have disappeared from this site for months at a time and it doesn't really bother me.
When real life beckons, it beckons. But, as evidenced by me coming back, I'll occasionally remember to pop back in and just lurk.
If there's something that catches my interest in terms of a thread or something then I'll post but I'm in no way an addict.
Now Tumblr on the other hand ... :)
 
I'm not. I used to come here every day and spend absolutely ages browsing/posting, but I'm now really busy with things in real life, so I just pop by to check PMs and tags. I may have said I was addicted before - :lew: - but I came on frequently because I didn't have another means to socialise as often as I wanted to, and I absolutely love talking to people. :) I don't have any free time in which I can really invest in online socialising either atm. I spend pretty much all of my time working. And the job-list grows daily!
 
I dunno if I'm addicted.
I do enjoy coming here and talking and making posts. When I'm bored this is the first place I'll usually come to because usually there's something new to read or something...I don't think visiting a forum where you have friends and stuff daily is an addiction. I think if you put the forum before anything else then it is.

Same here really now, think i probably was a bit addicteda t one point, but now its definately just an old habit
 
I wouldn't say I'm addicted, I'm just here more often now that I have some time off from work.

I come here for the people, the posting (which has become a time filler for me) is just secondary :lew:

I have a great bunch of folks I game with here and share banter with <3.
 
I used to be. There was a point just before Uni when I had moved and didn't know anyone where I lived so I started becoming active on the forum. It sort of became my life in a weird way. It started getting stupid in my first year at Uni though, shit happening on the forum used to affect my mood in my day to day life. Whether I was in some sort of debate or arguing with someone, drama etc. Looking back, it's actually a bit pathetic although I don't feel too embarrassed about it, it was such a long time ago.

When I moved in with my pals, things changed. I used to sit and chat in the SB for hours, why the fuck would I do that when my real friends are downstairs throwing around some amazing banter, cracking open a few cans of the good stuff and watching the game or playing the PS3? So I lost my addiction, stopped coming on and actually got a life. I would sometimes log in just to see how things were but not for very long.

I'm more active now though. My friends have graduated whilst I need to finish my final year. My relationship is now a long distance one and my new flat mates are shithouses compared to my old pals. So I guess that's why I have the time to come on here which is a little bit disappointing really.

Logging in is a bit of a habit now as well, but I'll never be as sad as I used to be. I've done a bit of growing up.
 
I don't believe it's an addiction unless it's having an adverse effect on your day-to-day life, so I wouldn't say that I have an addiction. It's definitely a habit, though. I come on here every single day I have access to my computer. Even if I'm not really interacting with anything that's happening on the forum, I always have it open in a tab when I'm doing other stuff.
