It's been about 6 months since I went to a forum for the first time after seeing by accident that someone complained in his blog that people were trying to throw him over on the forum. It's been about 6 months since I started to fight forum addiction too since I immediately realised that I was addicted unwittingly.
A quick search on Google comforted me by showing that addiciton to forums is not something rare and not something that only has happened to me.
It's time consuming and it's not always rewarding. Sometimes it's fun, the other times it can be irritating.
So I've decided to limit the amount of time I spend on the first forum.
Yest no sooner than I left one before I joined another.
The second one is much more stimulating since there I've met a lot of people who share my interests in writing.
However after a while, this feeling of emptiness started to creep on me again since I seem to be going there now not so much because I wanted to share my new blog or check on my favorite bloggers but more because it's such an effortless thing to do. It's easier than reading a book or writing something meaningful. It seems to be corrupting me by killing too much of my time leaving me not so much in return.
The fight with forum addiction carries on ...
