Re: How “Addicted” are you to the site???
I don't post as much as I used too... and I really didn't post a lot compared to some people.

Re: How “Addicted” are you to the site???
X2! Others have mentioned this being their "FaceBook". That's me. I don't get involved with the facebook, myspace, twitter, bs because quite frankly I don't care to have updates every minuite on whether my frinds are working, or bummed out, or happy about a date etc...but I AM interested to see what they are doing with their trucks! This site = "Truckbook" for me!

Re: How “Addicted” are you to the site???
I’m retired now, my wife works odd hours and I rarely sleep so I have way too much time on my hands. I like to be helpful where I can, learn something new every day, and enjoy myself. Apparently this site provides an abundance of all three. If there’s anything interesting going on I’m routinely in the 20+ hour group. By comparison, time spent in other related forums is probably less than an hour a week total. I frequently refer to this site as the best on the web, and it's not to be flattering. If it wasn't I'd be spending my time somewhere else.

Re: How “Addicted” are you to the site???
Considering Im 18 and I dont know that much compared to others on here. And the fact I hate learning stuff the heard way, I spend almost every second I can on here.

Re: How “Addicted” are you to the site???
Down fall for me, is I have to go thru my "computer room" to get out in the garage. I can't seem to JUST walk passed the computer without checking my email, and seeing whats new on the site.

Re: How “Addicted” are you to the site???
Almost every day from fall to late spring , get busy when summer comes around here so I guess on a average I get on over 300 days a year ..Our summer is not much over 2 months ..I am retired too.. When it rains I stay on longer or check in more .sounds like an excuse doesn't it.
I dont care ,,, I like all you people / the pictures of trucks /how to fix yours/how to fix mine and all the other stuff.. ,,,LOL gp

Re: How “Addicted” are you to the site???
I used to just lurk on here when a thread came up in google searches for info on my truck, then I met 56extd at a car show and he said I should check out the site. So for the first year or so I would just get on here randomly once or twice a month, but I started getting on more and more and now I'm addicted. I get on here any chance I get and have learned a bunch (and hope I taught some of the newer guys some too). My wife used to get on myspace all the time and I made fun of her for it, the other night I was on here and she walked past and said, 'you know that is the myspace of trucks right'. So now she makes fun of me for being a truck nerd.

Re: How “Addicted” are you to the site???
I dont think I am addicted , but then I am not trying to quit!!
I check in every day after work usually after looking at craigslist and before I check my items for sale on E-bay. A lot more time is spent here in the winter when it too cold and miserable to do anything else. I search a lot for ideas here before I try something new or out of the ordinary cuz somebody here has probably tried it .
