Why This Forum is so Addictive - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

h2g2Fan · 08-07-2003, 12:59 PM

I've figured it out. I've figured out why this forum is so addictive.

I use the Get New Posts button instead of browsing through each forum seperately. From there, I read all of the posts that I find interesting, post on occasion. Afterwards, I often make the mistake of clicking Get New Posts again. The process begins again.

Oh my.

So true! I'm glad there is always something to look at....

That's weird, I don't recall ever seeing a "Get New Posts" button.

It's a link on the main page in the top right corner, under the buttons and the "Welcome back."

that is too intimidating for me. I just stick with a few core forums, and keep my sanity.

I just click on posts that are interesting, and don't like to post in anything that has already had many posts, since what I may say might have been covered, and I don't want to read about everybodys underwater life support bubbles.

Yeah I'm completely dependant on the button. I had to look around forum by forum until I became acquainted with everything people were talking about but now that I've gotten into it, it saves me a heck of a lot of time.

If I were to ever take even a break of one day from this place, I would be completely lost and have to start over though...

I'm a dedicated fan of "get new posts" (he says after spending the past 90 minutes reading and responding to posts)
