I've felt the same way you feel, Snarf. It's hard for me to not check messages here every day, but I feel like I'm neglecting my family and work. I was up until midnight studying because I was spending time here instead of spending time reading. The two times I've tried to ban myself was due in part to feeling like I was spending too much time here, but also due in part to the drama that was going on on the board. I really don't care what people do with their spare time. If they want to post all day long, more power to them. Anyhow, I'm going to be cleaning my house until 5 pm today then I have school from 6 to 10. Maybe I'll post from school.

I think a lot of the problems that happened with RCB guys arose because many people think that the forum IS the Loyalists. Which I think couldn't be less true. Do you see Loyal1 with a post in every thread? Or Lucky13? Or Dysko? and so on. The forum just has people who like forums on it. Not even 15% of the Loyalists hit this site on a daily or probably even weekly basis.
I've found recently that I spend too much time on the forum, and it has detrimental effects on other parts of my life. I'm considering only checking the forum once a week. There's so much work that I don't get done because I'd rather be blabbering about nothing of consequence here. If I start becoming hard to get ahold of here, don't think that I hate you or ignore you. I'm just easing off a little. I think my wife and kids are more important to me after all. |
