This whole topic sounds weird and I'm probably exaggerating a little. Can't believe this is a problem of mine :p | ||

Being able to have self control, or at least the knowledge that you can control it if you want to, is a comforting feeling to have. If i were you, I would do this only in your mind. What I mean by that is, I dont think you should block, or even get your self temp-banned from TL. What you should do is any time you find yourself wanting to go to TL or actually visiting the site, do something else, and make that a "specific" something else. Like, think maybe that "Anytime I feel the urge to go to TL, I'm going to play a game of Starcraft instead". This way, it gives you a buffer of time to take TL off your mind, as well as letting you do something else. Also, I would take any links/bookmarks/extensions for TL off your browser, just so the available urge is a little less sudden. Good Luck! Thanks a lot for good advice. Will try that | ||

(although the reason I do this is for fasting, it's still pretty much the same concept) Sorry to get off of topic, but I'm pretty ignorant of any religions except Christianity. What religion are you? I find it really cool that you would take that kind of initiative for something you believe in, admirable. Also, No problem ThePhan2m Anytime. | ||

Also isnt there some sort of 3rd party software that blocks websites? Put a password on that, and then ask someone you trust to lock webs. Or to be honest, you're whole account if you're studiyng. | ||

I was clearly spending too much time on TL and StarCraft in general, and then I heard a sermon on fasting, so that seemed like the perfect solution. I admit, it isn't easy though, especially when there's a Code S group that day, and I am just itching to read the results. | ||

Oh yeah, now that you mention it, Some of my friends from church fast every once in awhile. Suppose to be a very "Mind Clearing" experience. | ||
