Default Am I addicted to FM Forum?
So EVERY time I open up Mozilla I automatically browse my bookmarks on my Google toolbar and click the FutureMark link. Even if I don't really want to go their. Its a force of habit. Than once the page loads up (usually instantly, though sometimes it won't even load) I just can't help but open up a few threads to see if theres something I've missed, even if I'm not entirely interested.

I don't really care that I do this cause the great thing about fast broadband is that you can open many pages simultaneously without having to wait ages for them to load. So after I load up all the FM pages I just open up a few new tabs and just go browsing for stuff.

But is this a sign of an addiction to this site? Its kinda like the compare links. When I see one, I just open it in a new tab in a force of habit (although I like comparing against my own system).

I don't want to get banned. Though I have considered it as this is kind of pulling me away from my school work. Perhaps I just need more self control.

Nah, your not addicted.

You need to setup the rss feeds, then you can look at the title of new posts without even coming to futuremark ![surrender]

How does that work? I know what rss is, as they have something like thet on Vista Sidebar to look up the latest news.

Easy peasy, point your application at the rss feeds link for futuremark:

http://futuremark.yougamers.com/foru....php?type=RSS2
(For All the forums)

http://futuremark.yougamers.com/foru...S2&forumids=30
(Example of the general discussion forum)

If you have it in the vista side bar then Ill agree your addicted.[yes]

Try a day or two without visiting FM. If you start sweat profoundly, hallucinating and vomitting then yeah you're probably addicted.

I can handle myself quite well under stress. Have had several years practice. So I doubt taking a few days of FM will effect me much. I played TMN for well over 1000 hours and I can take weeks of it without it effecting me (it effected my school work quite a bit though)

For me it's more of a habit. FM is (and has been for 7 years) my homepage and I've been here 6.5 years.... [thumbdown]
