You know you're addicted to TFP when....
 
Ok So I started this thread hoping to find other addicted TFPers...

When have you become aware that you were addicted to either TFP or the internet?



I knew I was addicted to TFP when I caught myself doing this more than once, I would get out of the shower, in my towel, and sit in front of the computer first, before getting dressed or anything... and seeing what happened while I was in the shower.

Now that I've typed it out, it doesn't sound that bad... but anyways... There's your topic talk amongst yourselves

i know what you mean Bondagegirl, the other day my little brother broke his upper leg really really badly and the first thing i thought when my dad told me over the phone was "i wonder if this would make a good TFP thread"
then i felt guilty :(

bondagegirl 07-09-2003 12:34 PM

LOL:lol:

YourNeverThere 07-09-2003 12:37 PM

Bahah, that was an incredable fast responce bondagegirl, i think we are addicted if we can have a normal conversion through posting.

World's King 07-09-2003 12:38 PM

My day...

Get up, eat breakfast in from of TFP, beat off, shower, get dressed in front of TFP, watch TV and sit in front of TFP for the rest of the day, go to the bar with friends, stumble home, Sit in front of TFP for a few hours, beat off, go to bed around 6am... Get up and do it all over.

bondagegirl 07-09-2003 12:42 PM

Yes I would have to say that we are... hehe pretty funny though

WK I'm glad I'm not the only one! except for the beating off part, pretty close though

Charlatan 07-09-2003 12:43 PM

...when I can't get any work done because I am trolling the site looking for more information...

Mad_Gecko 07-09-2003 12:48 PM

Addicted like I am with other creatively stimulating influences in my life.

I like 'em, I like 'em a LOT! ...

But alas, I do not have the time to indulge ALL my pleasures at once. So I reduce myself to a bit here and a bit there of all of them.

I'll know I'm addicted when I can type quick enough on IRC with TFP's :).


EDIT:
PS. Ignore what it says under my Alias. I am NOT an ADDICT. I have not got a problem...

I deny the existence of denial!!!

*sniff* our fantasies are shattered.... :(

as for the topic, yeah I think your addicted when you never close TFP or you mod the place.

Halx 07-09-2003 12:59 PM

You know you're addicted to the TFP when:

There is a naked girl spreading her legs on the couch behind you and you don't notice. Yes, it happens every week here at work.

bondagegirl 07-09-2003 01:01 PM

Good one Hal! because we've all seen it!

Cynthetiq 07-09-2003 01:17 PM

when I realized I had TFP seperation anxiety...which was first manifested when v.2 whitescreen of death... and v.3 when it just was completely gone for several days...

This is scary. My day was exactly like this .:eek:

SiN 07-09-2003 01:21 PM

hm...i kno i'm addicted because the 'view new posts' link feels like a permanent extension of my right index finger :)

rogue49 07-09-2003 03:31 PM

When you start referring to it in your conversations IRL...

"Ya know...I was talking about that very thing in a thread on the TFP..."
or
"there was this weird topic I was reading..."
and so on.

let me rework that for you.

You know you're addicted to the TFP when:

There is a naked girl spreading her legs on the couch behind you decide to post a thread about it in Tilted Sexuality looking for advice or bragging. Yes, it happens every week here at work.

:D

I hear ya rouge, i bring it up at the pub or something and my mates look at me as if to say wtf are you talking about?

2 or 3?

Slacker.

*snicker*

bundy 07-09-2003 06:07 PM

i realised i was addicted when i found myself doing exactly what Rogue and Meri said.

my friends have absolutely no idea about what this internet thing is (except of course those who are here), so conversation about whats going down on the TFP is pretty one-sided.

oh, and i find myself saying IMO, or other internet terms in conversations as well.

spectre 07-09-2003 08:15 PM

Your computer has a major failure, and the first thing you do when you get back online is head straight for the tfp.

Yeah, I did that.

*spec hangs his head in shame

*Nikki* 07-09-2003 08:59 PM

When the TFP takes over eating, cleaning, and spending time with people in real life.

redravin40 07-09-2003 09:54 PM

When TFP is the first thing you check in the morning and the last thing you see before you got to bed.
When you try to get other people hooked on TFP.
When you sit down to check it for a couple of minutes and suddenly realize it is five hours later.

Not that I've done anything like that....

WhoaitsZ 07-09-2003 10:24 PM

I still think my obsession runs farther then you other tfp’rs.

I shit you not…

I get up, in my chair… while my bed is being made up I make a rush to tfp to see if I have any PMs and scan boards.

Three mins later I bathe.

30 mins later tfp is back up
for hours unless I’m writing or making sad attemps of html.

I do this all. All night. I have gotten where I turn my tv off and will even mute the stereo if I’m reading something important.

I have quit playing all games on the pc almost entirely cuz I might miss something.

I send the last bits of $$$ in in fear that it will crash and the folk won’t have the funds to revive it.

Half of my buddy list on AIM are tfp’rs.

My best friend, Quo8, has heard TONS about it when he is here.

And……. Drummroll… I have neglected the titty board for the threads! Yes the tb is part of tfp but it’s still different.

I have never once donated $ to a site. I’ve never volunteered to help besides modding maybe five boards in my decade of internet life.

And on a silly serious mushy note… I am home. people here accept me. I don’t feel unwanted. I was on bbs’ for 10 years and never felt wanted. I do here. (except one or two but that’s fine.)

I love it.

:thumbsup:

Minx 07-15-2003 01:39 PM

First time I realized it, was truly during the first of Halx's "evil-black-screen-of-death" messages when the site was slow. Was that just a short time ago now?! No logging on.....WTF?! ;)
I sat down.....and....gasp....no TFP. The first thing I did....phone another member to see if it was just me! :lol: that's when I knew I was hooked!
My best bud (who led me here) and I will talk all the time about "threads" and drop TFP names and we get that "what the hell are you two talking about" look from people that overhear us! *giggles

*EDIT....and the other time I realized I was hooked....when I was uber sad at home, bawling my eyeballs out and my first thought was to pm one of the TFP ladies who I knew would understand.....I never did (damn pride!) but that's when I realized these were my friends, part of me...part of my life now!
I'm already wondering what to do when going away for the TFP get-together in Vegas....who's bringing a lap-top anyways? :)

Ganguro 07-15-2003 02:11 PM

...when you realize that you havent seen Penny Arcade in 2 months, but you are on the TFP for 3 hours a day .. on dialup!


...when you end a good roll in the hay with "I'm going to go brag on the TFP!"

Also when you can honestly say you've seen this same topic start over and over and over again after previous crashes :)

MSD 07-15-2003 02:50 PM

When you spend 7 hours a day on the site, 5 of which have replaced sleep. Been there, done that.

When you skip school to catch up on threads after being away for three days. Yep, that too.

lurkette 07-15-2003 02:55 PM

...when you and your husband are sitting at the kitchen table, on separate laptops, both reading TFP and not saying a word, for hours. Except posting to each other on TFP. Talk about virtual realty.

Cynthetiq 07-15-2003 03:01 PM

i find i no longer check fark...

AAA!!!!

When your wife beats you to what you were going to post in a thread by about a minute and a half!!

NOooooooooo!!!!!

viejo gringo 07-15-2003 05:42 PM

----it is 1AM and I hear "what in the hell are you laughing at"

and i know it is way past time to go to bed---

rockogre 07-16-2003 05:20 AM

You know you are addicted when you keep a spreadsheet on your desktop at work just so you can click on it when the boss walks by to hide the tfp page.

shalafi 07-16-2003 05:53 AM

I think its a pretty good clue when you find yourself nodding at at least half the posts on this thread and thinkin "yup thats me".

GSRIDER 07-16-2003 06:40 AM

GS's TFP log.

Get to work. In order of what I launch: Email, TFP, Indesign and Photoshop.

Open file, check TFP
Import Text, check TFP
Modify a picture, check TFP
Place Image, Check TFP
Tweek text, check TFP
Preflight print job, check local music forum
Print, Check TFP

Repeat, repeat repeat.

Nisses 07-16-2003 06:49 AM

I've got an addictive personality, and Suviko pushed me into coming here, so now I'm stuck :)

I know how bad it is when I post a thread and then make comments about it on the #tfp at the same time :)

Also: I use this site to back up some of my arguments IRL. "Uh, yeah, I read it on an official site the other day..." (read: General discussion :p )

I just wish I could chat while at work... Okay, maybe not, nothing would get done.

...when you don't think of it as an addiction.

rat 07-16-2003 08:52 AM

when you've been suspended from your job, you really need the money, and you'd rather post about it than actually work towards not getting fired. that's me, right here and today :)

KWSN 07-16-2003 08:54 AM

When I was in Virginia for a week, I started having dreams about surfing the TFP.

Rather sad.

Oh, and on many different occaisons I've meant to go to a website, but typed in "tfproject.org" instead out of reflex. On many of those occasions, I've forgotten to go the original intended website altogether and just ended up surfing the TFP for several hours.

fallen_angel 07-21-2003 10:11 PM

I have done the shower and towel thing but you know once you had sex and he leaves and you get on as soon as you see him pull off. . . ya im new but im already into it. . .
