personal rant about forums (and canreef)

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

I too am a forum-holic. I work on my computer all day, most days, so it's a natural part of my routine to check out Canreef & BCAquaria (the two fish forums I visit the most). Yes, there are other fish sites out there, but I like to call these two my "virtual homes".

Your posts are fine. I like that you mostly post about reef stuff. Well thought out postings are always appreciated.

Over the years, I & some other friends have noticed that things have slowed down considerable on this site. We seem to have lost a lot of members, but that is understandable since this is a time-consuming, expensive hobby. Life styles change. People want to be able to go on vacation without worrying about their reef tanks. Priorites change. Therefore, it is good to see new blood come on the site & into the hobby.

Good luck with your studies.

I'm definitely addicted. I, too, work a lot at the computer...and I'm constantly hitting the "refresh" button! It's a little silly, and I do feel a little self-conscious when I look down and see that I've commented on the last ten threads...lol. Oh well. I don't post just to post. I post if I want to say something. No post-padding here...maybe I just like to hear myself "talk"

I've had some extremely unhealthy habits/addictions in the past, so relative to that list, I'm fairly comfortable with this one.

Hello, my name is Rob and I am a forum-aholic!

Monday to Friday I work on my computer and find myself frequently browsing a number of forums through the day. But during the evening and weekends when not at work I wear a patch and it helps me get by
