I never thought being a member of a forum could be this addictive. DPReview's great but DPP's even better, the best so far. Great exchanges of information, ideas, and opinions. Just sounding off my appreciation to everyone involved. The list of accolades goes on... :)

Couldn't agree with you more. It's like before the day begins, you'd like to give it a quick check. As the day progresses, you'd like to take a little peek. And before the day ends, you couldn't fall asleep without logging-in. Well, syempre, these are days when you're not pre-occupied with work, family, and house chores.

Hmmm... what work? what house chores? :Grin:

In one way or the other we are all inter-related. Currently reside in Pasig but my roots are in San Pablo City, Laguna and Binmaley, Pangasinan. (Suri por da OT) :Dum:

Maybe DPP should give some sort of recognition for this sort of behavior, say, "Certified Addict" or "Candidate for Rehab" :D

Hmmm.. there's something in DPP that makes it so addictive... wow heaven pare...

Three years ago, when I shifted to the other side (Mac from a PC), I was also addicted to Mac Forums, namely PhilMug and PinoyMac. It was primarily because I was a newbie during that time, and I learned a lot from the two forums. I would browse the site before going to bed and before taking a shower upon waking up. In fact, even in my idle times during the middle of the day, I also would log in to these sites. It's the same with DPP. I learn a lot from this site and I like the camaraderie here. The regulars are great and helpful. Now, this is one form of addiction that I don't want to stop.

I'm NOT a Forum Addict! It's just routine for me.

I wake up at 5am, I log on to DPP
After Breakfast, I log on to DPP
I arrive in my office, I log on to DPP
Coffe Break, I log on to DPP
Lunch Break, I log on to DPP
Afternoon Break, I log on to DPP
Before I leave office, I log on to DPP
I get back home, I log on to DPP
After dinner, I log on to DPP
Before I go to sleep, I log on to DPP

I'm not an addict, its really just routine.:RedEye:



Addict is when I don't LOG OUT.:D

Good Day to All (joke lang yan) Seriously I love DPP..Kulang na lang maging modeartor ako:D

Hmm.... Counting the times we posted here SINCE we joined might be a good determinant for the addiction.

Since joining Dec 15, 2006, this is going to be my 125th posts. I average 1.46 posts a day, and this is just one thing to determine how active I am. If only I can count how many times I did my log outs/ins... I believe Aly can count his through his daily routine :Grin:

Am I an addict? I'm still denying it :Sick:

Perhaps you can determine how many posts you do a day by averaging... hahaha!

Nino, Me?! an addict?!! I won't consider myself an addict until I set my cellphone to access the internet so that I can log on to DPP anytime and anywhere.:Mad: Hey, come to think of it, I can do that right now. Ok, I'm an addict.:RedEye:

6.23 posts a day lang, parang kulang pa ang hithit!!! hahaha..... :D As I've suggested to the mods here not to make the number of posts visible para hindi mahalata ang addiction!!! Sorry, guys, I had to redirect my former "9-times-a-week-badminton" sessions (which I stopped cold turkey last November) to doing photography and reading this forum. From one obsession to another. :Evil:

I'm not a DPP addict. My reasons?

I'm lurking in DPP, post sometimes or join the SB if in the mood. I'm doing this during office office hours. How about my work? Well, I'm doing them after office hours.

So, who says that I'm an addict?:Evil:

This is great but sometimes C&C's are always nice shot! great composition! etc... Those who got these praises probably deserves them, but those who really really need proper C&Cs dont get any... I want to learn more... I think, a lot of us do... But not having constructive criticiscms will not improve someone's craft...

BTW, kudos for the thread starter! This forum is really addicting... Especially when the Masters post their latest sets!!! :Grin:
