So on good days, I can truly spend most of the day browsing the forum for current and previous threads just to get caught up on all the discus mania. I will tell you, between working, water changes and other activities in "real life" I have become a forum junkie! Thanks for all the great posts to read.

I am definitely a forum junkie. I constantly refresh the "What's New?" tab at the top.

I have "What's New?" book marked in my favorite bar. It's one click operation for me. :-) I am clicking the the button again right now.

i lurk for probably 4-5 hours a day, but rarely post im a noob in the discus world as it is, and barely got my tank up and running and have yet to own one but am so intrigued by them.

I probably spend 15 minutes or less per day on the forum, but I check out new posts a couple of times an hour. I work in front of the computer all day, so it's pretty easy to scan the forum for interesting threads. Some take smoke breaks and I take SD breaks. :-)

I'm hooked. Some days it's easier on me and I say little or nothing. Other times I have a bee in my bonnet and everyone needs to watch out.

Brew, you said the next step from attict is Mod. Why then am I not a mod? I cannot fathom why I am not among the chosen few?

Yes. I do admit that I am a junkie. I need a fix several times a day. Of course, that fix occurs at the same time that I am watching my tank. So I get a two for one. Right now watching another spawn.
I erase half the posts I would otherwise make. Do erased posts count?

I belong to eight different forums, but there are three that I visit on a daily basis. SD is one of them, and the one I spend the most time in.

Sometimes the hours just go by and I don't even know it. I like to read old threads and learn as much as I can about Discus and the members.

I would never ban anyone except for slander or otrher things like that I can't think of. I miss a forum where you can have a good clean fight.

I AM addicted, but I'm addicted too strongly. I don't get all that I need from Simply.

I figured I didn't even need to respond for people to know I'm a junkie.

+1. When I run simulations or I am waiting for files to download, I hit the SD bookmark to see what's new.

I'm also a forum junkie. I get on this site once a day, not always posting just lurking around. I also post a ton on various metal sites. I use to be worse when I had my cushy desk job.
