Northwest Dive Club

I was wondering how addicted you are ..? do you check the board on your smart phone ? do you sneek a peek at work ? do you wake up in the middle of the night and log on while eating a late night snack ? How addicted have you become ...

also please come up with an addicted level you feel you are ...

I rank in the above 10 times a day < heavily addicted > to get my fix

Depends on what else I've got going on that day. If it's something really important, like ... oh, I dunno ... washing my hair ... I might not have time to check in all that much ...

i only check in once a day, but i'm on for about 12 hours straight.

The forum is always open on my iphone browser so i keep checking it at least 5 times in an hour. And i can do this from almost anywhere

Let's recap the first 45 minutes of this thread.

I CAN QUIT ANYTIME I WANT TO!

what if i check 9 times?

I live in the mountains a solid 9 hours from the nearest dive site. I haven't been diving in a year and a half. I spend most of my time cleaning up toys, wiping up drool, or using the googles to find out how to get an infant to sleep through the night. Yet, I can tell you what dives people are doing, who is taking the best photos, and when the next club dive is. Sad, but true.

When I bought my cell phone I made sure I could log into nwdc and watch videos and post pictures....

ha that's what I thought

Hmmm... I'm a moderator, and my gear is dry.

Is there a category for "as little as possible"?

Like another poster I live a long and expensive way from sea water. But I do have other interests, as blasphemous as that may be. Result is I like to check often, often will leave it open in one window while I do somethng productive in another. I even get some good info from other posters.

Not an addiction, a habit

What with tapatalk on my phone, multiple monitors at work, and a job that has many "waiting" moments I pretty much have constant NWDC observation

Too funny--made me literally LOL.

I don't think I'm addicted, but DBrown would probably disagree . . .

I love being able to check the forum from my phone in tapatalk, this makes it MUCH more addictive.

Although I am more of a lurker lately, it is set as my homepage and set to automatically sign in so I guess I would have to say addicted.

Addicted? Not me, I can stop when ever I want to!
I just choose, to not want to stop!
NWDC is all part of the, whole addicted to scuba thing

Addicted,,, Addicted???? Nope you will never get me to cop to that!

3067 postes and counting!

That's a great rationalization. I may use it for this and other addictions, my friend!
