Ok! So who else is addicted to this forum? I have only been a member for a short time but I find myself constantly checking out the forum throughout my day:eek: I love reading the posts on here for so many of you have a great deal of knowledge in the audio world. I also love seeing all the cool gear so many of you own, far beyond anything I will ever own. I'm real happy I joined the forum and plan on being a part of this community for a long time to come:)
I love animals, they're delicious!

    Yeah, I would have to say I am somewhat addicted as well. At work, I find myself checking out the forum on my Blackberry every time I make it to my desk. I have also found myself downloading every schematic, manual, etc... Never know when I might need it. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    When your post count per day is greater than your age....THEN you are 'addicted'! Until then you're just drinking Boone's Farm and calling it hard liquor lol

    I've been addicted to this club since July of 2006. I have lots of fun and learn so much.

    My audio addiction goes hand-in-hand with this club.

    I'm with greyford1979, partially because I'm new, partially because I constantly read through threads on here and pick up interesting little tidbits, and partially because he lives in my state :)

    My fiancee keeps making fun of me for hanging out in an 'aodio dork' forum as she calls it.

    Classic CNH.

    I tend to be on here most of the day, time permitting. If I'm traveling then I tend to be on even more as I get bored in the hotels.

    I'm in denial.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Polk Monitor 7Bs got me addicted in '78. After a long time in rehab I thought I would be OK. Then there was the internet and this site. Out came the crossovers, in went the upgrades. Then my upgraditis kicked in and out went alot more money. I'm OK now. That is what they tell me. I don't check this site once a day (often more than 3).

    yep I'm addicted. First thing I check in the morning, last thing I check at night and normally at lunch too.
    Its bad, but then again this is a hobby and I like to read as much as I can about different things. and I'm addicted to this hobby in general. When I tell my girlfriend I'm done for awhile, she knows better and says so "what are you getting next?"
