How many people find themselves (when not working on the bot) rumaging through chiefdelphi all the time. This includes hitting refresh millions of times to see if someone responded to your post. This also includes when you have a quick link to CD on your desktop, or if in internet explorer when u type "c" it automatically drops down as the first on the list?

Who says that's my real name??? lol
I'm a hardcore addict...but then again I'm a college student. I don't have to fight dial-up so I can refresh that many more times. I like when you see your name like five plus times on the portal w/o scrolling down. I wouldn't be so addicted if I was with a team during the week. I'm too far away so I go two hours home on the weekends to help. During the week I'm held in suspense so I come see what's on here since my team is kind of against posting too many picture...arrgh, oh well. But they really need to come out with a CD patch or gum...

I can't say that I am that addicted, but I do check it every morning while I'm eating breakfast.

You could always try the JVN Cold Turkey Method of Quitting Chief Delphi Overnight. Instructions are in this post from last year. (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=164640&postcount=20) Who knows? Maybe Brandon could find away to market this treatment and turn a profit :D

me wonders if there could be a 'tracker' that would track who is on delphi the most, but hey, brandon's already a few updates behind and has another new feature coming (can't get my hopes up)
*if that is possible, all beware: I have this sweet pager.. so when I'm rummaging through my backpack in econ class I'm really checking the new pics...

We were upgraded last week to the newest version of vBulletirn.
And yes, there is a hack to measure how much time people spend on the site.
I'm not sure if I will be installing that or not.

Ooohh... finally somewhere where homeschoolers can be recognized...
LOL!
I'm on like literally 24/7, just about, since I'm at home all the time. My name'd be up there in a heartbeat.
But I dunno...looks like I might have some competition... :D

Addicted? Me? Please!
I'm only here like once or twice or a million times a week.
Okay so I'm kinda new so it is hard to say I'm a true addict, but once build season ends I'm going to need something to fill the void...
The ventures systems last year was baddddddd. Just another reason to be online for hours! :yikes:

I got to the point where I was here practically all the time, refreshing every few minutes, just to catch anything new. Then I realized I was spending all my free time (and some time I was supposed to be spending on work) on CD. I was staying up 2 or 3 hours later than I wanted to, because distractions would keep me away from homework and studying. So, I guess you could say I was an addict, but I'm recovering.

If I were choosing...I'd rather not know.
I don't need to know how much time I waste on the site; I know it's more than I should and that's all that I need to know. :)

i think a good measurement would be how much time I'm not on the site

So how did you do it Jeff? Did you seek professional help? Is there a 12 step program or did you just go cold turkey?
I've been limited but I can edit. Even better would be a program that keeps track of the clicks or hits of each user so you could see who is the most active.

CD is my homepage. ... so most of the time when I go looking for something, I end up clicking a link from the portal, and forgetting whatever it was that I needed to get done. Figures.
I'd be scared to see how much time I'm here. Very, Very Scared.

i think a good measurement would be how much time I'm not on the siteYou weren't on the site Friday night around 5:30 - 6:00 now were you?? What's the matter?? Building a robot more important than conversing with fellow roboteers?? :p lol
I'm currently in counseling because of Chief Delphi. I'm not sleeping, I'm not eating, I'm not bathing, I just sit here day after day, minute after minute refreshing every second I can. May I suggest counseling to other people? NO! It's FIRST, nothing gets better then FIRST, well.. maybe Chief Delphi!

I have CD set to my homepage, which is cool, except I get distracted rather easily, and I only actually get around to checking my e-mail about half the time I go online. This gets to be a problem on a campus where e-mail is the main form of communication.

Or how about watching who's online to see if anyone is reading your post?
LOL, yeah, sometimes my team gets mad because i sneak away to surf on ChiefDelphi. :cool:
