Title: JTF Addiction
Post by: Lubab on September 24, 2007, 05:14:55 PM
Just want to get a pulse on how people are doing as per Chaim's comments about JTF addiction on last week's JTF.

Maybe we can help people who need help. This is not a joke.

Lots of people are addicted to forums all over the internet and JTF is an especially enticing place to get addicted to.

If people are doing JTF activities instead of wasting their time doing something meaningless that's great. But I'm concerned about others.

There is no question that JTF and its forum has done a tremendous amount of good in people's lives. Maybe people would like to share about that as well and say how the PROs have outweighed the CONs.

Not that I am super addicted.. but it keeps me sane when I have nothing to do. If I find a girlfriend I will probably be on here less.. but until then this is the place to be  ;D

I'm quite addicted! But not to the measures that i need help. :laugh:

Its not disruptive at all but quite often I spend time I should be using to study and do my homework..but there are more important things in life and JTF keeps me sane!

Well, social life, that's arguable.  I MIGHT go out more often if I wasn't on JTF so much but I don't think that I would.  As far as interfering with law school and relationships with family, NO WAY, I would never let that happen.  JTF is just a fun, educational, and meaningful way to fill the pockets of boredom throughout my day, that's about all.

evertime I have something to do for school, I get bored and go on the forum, I guess it is somewhat addictive expecially very recently.

I love the forum but wouldn't say I'm addicted. I have too many other obligations to sit on here all day although I would love to! :)

Thats why I think closing the forum on shabbat is a good thing for all of us gentiles because it gives everybody a break, and wake up call to really see that there are many responsibilities that come before the forum.

I am definitely addicted. I just joined Yesterday and already have close to 40 posts. My math homework took my 2 hours last night because i was multi-tasking on the jtf forum.
It's certainly worthwhile though.

I'm only on the JTF a few hours in the evening before popping off too paltalk. I find this forum the best on the web. I hated the site was down for the period of time it was, but it made me enjoy it even better. You never realize what you have, until you don't have it any more.

I'm addicted to some degree... but I love it and feel really good about it, no guilt involved!
