Yes. I'm addicted. To TL. Watching an episode of Intervention has made me realize... I can replace the crack and the cocaine with TL and it still makes sense (I don't sniff TL, but you get the point).

I'm sick with a bad cold, and still i'm posting on TL constantly. I vowed to not post a lot until I had my 3rd tier icon... but it didn't work... I saw an interesting topic, and I just had to post. I HAD TO FUCKING POST.

DO YOU SEE THIS MARINE ICON MAN? DO YOU SEE THAT SHIT? IM A RECENTLY REGISTERED USER. 4 MONTHS. OVER 1K POSTS. That's fucking sad man! I have at least three tabs open at all times... all Team mother fucking liquid.

I was tired, so I put away my laptop so I could watch TV or just chill for a moment. But I couldnt. Within seconds I had opened it again and was posting some stupid shit in the IMfenix topic or whatever about TT1, I dunno.

Whenever I think I'm done posting on TL for the day, like a shot of heroin I reach for the laptop and take one more shot... just one more shot... but unlike stimpack, it raises only my post count by 1.

I'm seeing these bums living on the street... That could be me in a few years man! I'll get kicked out of my house, i'll be going from place to place with only my laptop, in search of a power outlet somewhere so I can feed my addiction.

I want to stop, but I can't. I just fucking can't.

You know what the worst part is? What was my first thought when I had this epiphany... I wrote a fucking blog on TL about it.

Goddamnit.

im so addicted to sc2 also
surf teamliquid DAILY multiple times a DAY
use teamliquid for advice and spent hundreds on gaming gear for sc2 (sad because sc2 only costs 60 bucks but i spent way more for the gear)

thin line between addiction and passion.

Most of my free time is spent on TL or playing games. When I went home to visit my parents over the holidays, I came to the realization that as long as I had my laptop open to TL I was completely content. At first I thought this was a really great thing, because I often have my laptop with me. Then I thought about it and realized that a drug addict probably feels exactly the same way "As long as I have some heroine, I'll be totally fine with whatever is happening in my life."

What's weird is that I don't even post that often. I just sit and look at what everyone else is saying. I'm a freaking wallflower even on the internet.

Oh well, if I'm going to be hooked on something, can't think of anything better than TL ^_^

I know what you mean, TL feeds my addiction too.
It's not necessarily a bad thing, unless of course you forget to eat and sleep because of TL

I visit TL on average 50 times a day,

This has been the most boring summer of my life. I moved and I stopped working halfway through summer because of that. 1 more week until life starts again and I go to university, can't wait.

Yes, there is such a thing as too much free time. I don't even like to play games anymore, I've watched and read like 200 anime/manga, I've listened to several thousand songs more than once over...

But TL is still always right in the middle of it. I even browse it when watching movies, even if there are no new posts T_T.

try having around 15 to 20 tabs open from TL at any given time.

Ya it's a wee bit confusing....but tabs are just so awesome!

lol how about this one. I constantly scan all the forums and threads on the left, see if anything peaks my interest. If nothing does I close my internet, then without really being aware or thinking of it I open firefox back open a second later..literally..and look again rofl. It's kinda like looking in the fridge, seeing theres nothing good, then opening it back up again hoping it changed.

I do exactly the same, sometimes when I'm done browsing TL i'll think "Meh, i'll go to a different website" I open a new tab and auto go to TL. Then I realize TL IS the only interesting thing on the internet (Nope. Not gonna reference porn. Not happening)

edit: @DarkPlasmaBall

... it's... it's not?! AM I SANE?! YEEESS IM NOT INSANE AAHAHAHAHAH

@lazydino: Multitasking

Also yes if I really really need a break I'll consider requesting 30 day ban or something, but as it is i'm fine

A thousand posts in 4 months is a lot? Please.

If you want to take a break, you can have mods temp ban you (from posting).

For a while..

I also have like 10-15 tabs open all the time. Some of them are threads that i follow all the time. I have woke up couple of times to ONLY check if there is any news. ^_^

So, basically Teamliquid = crack for me.


edit. I don't even know how i'm gonna survive without TL when i'm going to the military..

Oh man tabs TLTLTLTLTLTLTL. You're definitely not alone OP, I sometimes refresh my main tab every few minutes to see what's up and I even have a fear of losing internet and not being able to browse TL and miss out on interesting news / blogs............. maybe I'm addicted too holy shit.
