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.
(jk's -_-;; )

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 ^_^

Reminds me when I woke up 5-6 AM every day just to watch Proleague.
|
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 remember fighting to stay awake at 3, 4am with the sounds of 'PLAAAGGUUUUUUUUU' ringing off the walls. Such wonderful times.
|
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!
|
I remember when I was watching starcraft 2 and i closed it
I just opend my laptop the second i put it down
Addiction is scary nowadays
|

i love reading something new
but i never post so i dont think i know ur side of it :/

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)

... 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..

TL addict support group forum needed

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.
|
I have 5 tabs open for TL usually, and then a tab each for Facebook, Twitter, CNN, and BBC.

You haven't approached the depth of addiction that is Torte De Lini

You sir, havent been around for the days of Konadora's prime.
Now THAT was a lot of posts
|
I always have a tab for teamliquid open at all times.
and i check back like 50 times a day even if i went through all the new content already -______-
|
I spend more time on TL then I do playing sc2
|
Heeeeeeey something is wrong here....Addicts dont admit that they are addicted D:.
|
I can quit TL whenever I want. I just don't want to.
[edit] F5ing for a response.
|
Yeah, I usually have a couple tabs open all day while I'm at work. I'll be working on something and in the middle of it I'll just go over to TL tab and refresh. Maybe post something then go back to what I was doing. Not the most efficient method...

This. So many fucking hours of sleep lost due to watching every match live.
Also none of you touch konadora. I couldn't even come close at my best.

I have sort of a general question about addiction I was wondering. Like..if you don't crave it or constantly think about it when you're away or not doing whatever it is..can it still be an addiction? This is just in general.
|
im registered for 10 days and have ~500 ;o
but yeah, i almost only browse LR. the rest of the forums is just too head-ache inducing. When there's an idiot in the LR thread, it's so few lines that the other mind-less posts usually drown it out

XD I'm the same way! I'm always reading TL between my exercises for basic....I'm always on this forum and I never post. Also, I always have at least one stream open right now I've got Incontrol open.

|
great community and always something interesting to be found!
|
At the time of my looking, you and I have the same number of posts. Except I've been a member for nearly 4 years now, lol.
Doesn't mean I'm any less addicted though! Just tend to lurk more than post on most days!

It's okay bro, I know exactly how you feel.

Would it be ethical to make this the TL addiction support group even though it's on TL?
..
|
The main reason TL is addicting for me is because it's such a great forum. Compared to most, if not all, other forums I've visited in the past, there's not much trolling, bm, etc. Yeah TL still has it, but mods do an amazing job keeping things in check. If I open any topic, chances are there's going to be a pleasant, well mannered discussion of the topic. Half the time I see a bad post, it's already got the "User has been warned/banned" notice. Of course there's always the LR and balance threads that get way out of hand, but I just have to avoid those threads and the rest is awesome...except that it's addicting.

That's like making casinos operate gambling addict hotlines. Oh wait, that's exactly what happens.
So... what forum does a "TL Addiction support group" thread belong in? Community? Fan Club?

reading this after killing my sleep schedule on my birthday to watch ST play FXO is not exactly what I needed. Hahaha......
