Hi there,

I think this is my first post in the Lounge, but boy oh boy have I been posting like mad in other forums... (I guess "madasafish" should be "madaboutfish!") It all began July 31st , only a little over a month ago, and I'm already up to four yellow tangs (which I don't believe I deserve). I'm on AquariumAdvice every day, posting and reading--about 7 posts a day, which means it's more like 14 posts per day at the moment, and I probably read hundreds of other people's posts... And, well, I don't plan on cutting down.

I am totally and utterly addicted to getting/giving advice and to hearing people's stories.

Anybody else (ahem, Allivymar, the everhelpful) have the same problem/blessing? I just can't get enough of this site!!!!

Jonathan

Addicted?!??! That is a total understatement!! I can not stay away!!!
I have a T1 line at work, so the site is always up. Anytime a new post... I am right there to read it. I don't really have a whole lot of helpful info, but I am picking up a lot of helpful info here. especially from Allivymar!! Thanks for everything!!

I love this site!!! It is great!!!!!

e-cat · 09-03-2003, 04:25 PM

yeah this is a good site and well worth checking a couple of times a day

RogerMcAllen · 09-03-2003, 04:32 PM

I can stop whenever I want to, sure...

d9hp · 09-03-2003, 04:36 PM

Umm, refer to post count....

Unfortunately school has made me well, only hit up the crave for 20 minutes or so

Well I've been addicted coming up on a year, even though it says we joined later, we used to be New2Salt. I love the ease and the helpfulness of this site, I've been to others and have signed up for others but it's just not the same. I'm usually on here 2 or 3 times a day, I look forward to it, I am constantly learning new things. I get upset at my husband if he signs on at work then the "posts since last visit" are lost if I go to sign on after him and I miss all those posts, does that show how addicted I am?

I love having a place I can come if I have a problem and someone answers me with helpful information instead of making me look like I should have known the answer, had that happen on a big popular [acronym:bd1300d9f2="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:bd1300d9f2] site, I won't name names.
