ECF Warning?

[Jman8]

ECF could use a warning on the site that says something like:

Warning! Use of this forum can be incredibly addictive.

You may think vaping nicotine or buying vaping products is addictive. And you may feel confident that smoking is addictive. None of that compares to the addictive nature that has been reported by several members on this site. This forum has been shown to be so addictive, or compelling, that even ANTZ cannot stay away and are known addicts to ECF.

Okay, so yes, I say this tongue in cheek, but am serious about it being more addictive than smoking. Now, if you'll excuse me I have to take a break for a meeting and a little golfing, but will be back later to satisfy my ECF cravings.

I can quit at any time lol lol lol lol

Not that tongue in cheek. Sit at my desk all day with the forums open in the background and get a nervous tic when I dont take a peek every 30 min or so. I read so much about vaping sometimes I forget to actually vape.

Are you trying to insinuate that we've all got a problem?

No...no....no....

Can we have a Group hug?

 

[oplholik]

You all may have a problem, but not me, it's just that I've nothing else to do. Yeh, right!

 

[DreamWithin]

We should form a support group. We can even do it right here as a social group on ECF! That'll help cure our addicti . . . oh, wait

No...no....no....

Can we have a Group hug?

For sure!

We can fix that. All we need to do is check the age of the cookie and if it's more than an hour old, kick the user off for 24 hours. I'll speak with the coders.

Nonsense, one time I stayed away from ECF for 3 whole days. No, I wasn't in the Sin Bin, a tropical storm knocked out our power. LOL

 

[classwife]

And who called you Jerry to make sure you were ok ????





We use this in another thread, but I think it fits here...



"you can check out anytime you like..."
La la la laaaaaa...

 

[JerryRM]

Yes, Classyone, you called me, not once but twice, to make sure that I was ok. You are a sweetheart.

To me, it's a little like the Twilight Zone episode that would have to be renamed as "5000 Characters In Search Of An Exit."

Back on March 3rd or 4th, when ECF was down for more than a full day, was my 5th day smokefree. Days 1-4, no cravings, no symptoms of withdrawal, just vaping like a fiend and sitting at ECF all day. Day 5, still vaping like a fiend, and suddenly... No ECF. When it had been down for an hour, and it became clear that it wasn't coming back up for a while, all of a sudden the withdrawal hit me like a truck... couldn't focus on anything... took me 3 hrs to cook breakfast! It was awful. As soon as ECF came back, away went the spacy can't-focus-on-anything problem. This place is WAYYYYYYY more addictive than cigarettes. Gotta be better for you, at least.
