You're right about that. I left once ages ago because of the whole pinking incidents and a bit after that because I realised one night that all I did for that night was sit and click the 'Go' button to check for new posts. I knew I needed a break.
I don't think I'm anywhere near as bad these days, especially since my connection is poor so I sometimes can't get on and it's not the end of the world. And when there has been downtime I've not been thinking 'OMG I WANT TEH FORUM BACK' I just go and do something else.
The fact that a lot of us have posted by phone on here shows we're quite obcessed.
