[redneck2]

I find myself coming home, and the first thing I do is flip on the lap-top and see what's new...

usually before anything else

if I can't sleep at night, I'll log onto see what losers don't have a life (then I see my name in the "users on this forum" section)

do you take "time-off" at work???

neglect important things (like yard work, honey-do's, etc)???

have a nagging, burning desire to make sure everyone gets the correct answer to life's most important question???

[ed dixon]

Nope. Just you.

[Sven]

Yes.

[cool45auto]

Yes. What are you looking at!?!?:scrutiny:

[TallPine]

Not me, I can log off anytime I want to.

Better go see if there's anything new in Rifle Country forum first, though ....

:D

[michiganfan]

yeah I need to join THR aynonomus.

[general]

no - well, not really....
ok yes.....
I did log off to go to the gun show..:eek:

[Standing Wolf]

No way! I spend lots of time at Gun Broker, too.

[Schuey2002]

Not really...

Well, maybe just a little. The luster is starting to fade off the new pad a wee bit as well.

[TheLastBoyScout]

Sort of, but there isn't enough going on in terms of new posts to keep me connected for long stretches.

Now AR15.com on the other hand has such a fast new thread generation rate that I'm ALWAYS reading from that site when I'm online, in addition to whatever else I'm doing.

[Sisco]

Hi. My name is Sisco and I'm a THR junkie.
My morning routine:
Get out of bed, start the computer. Start a pot of coffee, go outside & have a smoke. By the time I come back in the coffee's done and the computer is booted up, check THL & 1911forum. Get ready for work.
The rest of the day I stop by the computer once an hour or so and check new posts.

[Schuey2002]

That sounds like something that Skunk would say, but without the smoking part. ;)

[45R]

Not really I only have over 700 posts

[Mike Irwin]

45R,

Piker. Look at my post count. :)

And I'm not even close to the top poster! :D

[AZTOY]

Are you addicted to this site????

YES

[Hkmp5sd]

Of course not. I can quit any time I want. I just don't want to right now. :)

[Safety First]

Hello, My name is Lloyd and I am a THR addict...I admit it, I just can't help it..OK, Ok I know I need help,any suggestions ??:D

[Drizzt]

Not at all. In fact, I rarely even open up this site any more. In fact, I don't even know what site I'm on right now..... ;)

[Feanaro]

I could say away from the forum but I see no reason why. I have not a thing else to do other than over-clean my M48A. ;)

[Bowlcut]

well considering i have nothing else to do at all at work when im answering the phones.....
then my other forums i go to are slow...and one i cant get on anymore stupid ip route is fubard....

so yea :D

[Mark Tyson]

I'm messed up man ... I need help!

[SquirrelNuts]

I DO NOT have a High Road Problem.

I DO NOT have a High Road Problem.

I DO NOT have a High Road Problem.

Am I in denial?

-SquirrelNuts

[Lennyjoe]

Yes and No.

I dont run home to this sight but when Im online I always drop in after I am done checking email.

So maybe I am a little hooked.;)

[Flashpoint]

Most of the time the only reason I log on to the net is to see what's new. My wife says I'm an addict, but I just think she's jealous.:D She's probably right, maybe I'll grow out of it...Someday. :p

[Tamara]

If I was addicted to this site, I'd be doing stupid loser stuff like posting at 12:40 in the AM on a Saturday.

Oh, wait... :uhoh:

[makdaddy03]

Yep.;)

[general]

Piker. Look at my post count. And I'm not even close to the top poster! Just who IS the top los...er, poster?
Lets all PM the sucker and tell whoever it is to get a life!
Kinda like an intervention!
(I am JUST kidding):neener:

[Dionysusigma]

If the previous posts on this thread are any indication, I think that Tamara's pretty high up there...:what:

[igor]

Just a wee bit... :scrutiny:

[Schuey2002]

If only this site had Toyota Hilux and Heckler&Koch forums..

I'd never leave!:D

[stevelyn]

Absolutely, and all the while bangin':banghead: my head to tunes on KNAC.COM or metalscream.com.
Unless of course I'm listening to archived broadcasts of "Live Fire" or Tom Gresham's "Gun Talk".:D :D :D

[Henry Bowman]

Yes. YES!
It has been interfering with my getting work done. Seriously, it's mostly just lurking, but I have been trying to wean myself away without any success. I've thought about starting this thread a thousand times, but . . .

[Bainx]

Yup. But the great thing about this addiction is that I am learning something.:cool:

[Doc]

just ask my wife!

"Oh, there you are! On your computer!
What a surprize!"

I think she may be jealous!

[Nightfall]

Seeing as how this board is the first time I've had to 'be around' pro-gun people and actually get to interact with them... well, it's rather overwhelming and yes, addictive finally seeing so many people who like shooting. :D I generally check THR at least once while I'm eating breakfast in the morning, and sometimes later at night before bed.

Just a little addicted... just a little... ;)

[WhoKnowsWho]

Nah, it's the only site I visit every day at least once. Or twice, or more...

[El Tejon]

My doctor, oddly he's a gyno in Michigan, advised I needed to post.

The first step is letting go. My name is Kirk, I don't sleep. I talk on the phone and read the gun nut boards.

Whew, feel better now.:D Doc, it hurts when I go like this.

[Darrin]

I'm not addicted, but I don't think I can stop coming here 3 or 4 times a day.

:scrutiny:

[M2HMGHB]

Wonder how many hours a day everyone spends on here?!?!? Me it's between 30 mins and 2 hours. Mostly I lurk though.

[12 Volt Man]

Yes...........to this forum and the CZ forum and the AK forum and sometimes the XD/HS2000 board.
Hi, I'm 12 Volt Man and I'm a gun forum-a-holic.
Mostly I browse the boards while I am at work. Shhhh.. Don't tell. :p

[Don Gwinn]

Nope. Just posting to see what my post count is, since your conversation made me curious. But I don't need the stuff. Quit whenever I want.

[OEF_VET]

Hi, I'm Frank and I'm a THR-aholic. I'm beginning to think I spend more time with ya'll then I do with my fiancee, just hope she doesn't begin to realize it.

A couple nights a week I work 12 hour shifts at a quiet downtown hotel, with nothing to do but browse the web in my office, so I spend a significant amount of time on here. Oh well, it's better than a lot of things I could be doing with my time.

And yes, I do occassionally find several THRisms slipping into my day to day vocabulary, the sign of a true THR junkie.

Frank

[Brian Williams]

YEP!

[SquirrelNuts]

To find the top posters, you use to be able to visit something like www.thehighroad.org/stats.html or something like that. This worked on TFL at www.thefiringline.com/forums/stats.html or something similar. I cannot remember exactly what it was.

-SquirrelNuts

[matis]

I am NOT addicted to THR!

I stop by often and long.

But I do so by choice.

So there.

Interesting. Puts my piddly few hundred posts in perspective.

So, who was "#1" at TFL??? IIRC Art had a pretty impressive number. Wish I was that smart to give all those answers. I could I suppose, but they wouldn't be right like Art's.

[Combat-wombat]

I just recently discovered Glock Talk and signed up with them, but I hardly ever go there, but I go here everyday. There's just something about this site that I really like and am attached to. So the answer is yes, I am hooked on The High Road.

[sm]

Is being on the list a good thing or a bad thing? I have an excuse...which one you want.

Confession time:

I'm in school and use on-line resources. I get to class and I have a error on a Excel deal I did. Instructor says lets take a look...did ya know this is NOT a valid formula: fx=(18.5 gr SL) oops...:uhoh:

Good news is he has Superlight pwdr, said the 'formula' patterned great for him.;)

[MPFreeman]

Oh yes. I love THR. I read it everyday. Rarely do I post, but I read it everytime I'm on the web, or even at my computer. Great forum, for gun owners. The best IMO.

I like reading the threads so much that I don't post so that I can read more threads.

Love the picture threads.

[ed dixon]

Deciding that addiction is a possibility, I'm starting the patch today. It'll be soaked with Hoppe's #9 and sliding down the bore of a Winchester '94. (Baby steps, y'all. Wish me luck.)

[tyme]

thr, drudge, fark, c-span, email, googling for things of interest that come up... it's all just a stream of information.

Matis, remember that "choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without." :)

[yucapote]

Are you addicted to this site????

My wife send me to rehab, it was useless. She tried to detox me by locking the family room, she forgot I had an extra key. I confess: I am a gun junkie that needs a daily dosis of broadband.

[PATH]

I am an addict. Best kind of addiction though don't you think?;) :D

[Unisaw]

Everytime my better half walks past my computer she asks "Are you on that gun board?" I tend to check new posts first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and three to four times during the day. Am I addicted? No, but I'm a lot smarter than before I started lurking at TFL/THR. I've learned: how to replace an extractor on a 1911, that the VM II is a great IWB holster, that the SP-101 is a great little gun, that new brass should be resized, that a staked front sight is fine if done by a competent 'smith...the list could go on and on.

[general]

Whoo hoo ......Blackhawk - 3648 !
We'll see where his numbers are in 6 mos.
I'll bet he tops 5000 by Aug 5 2003.
(if he keeps up his 23 pd -or so- post rate)

[Sodbuster]

The TFL top 25!
I miss Dennis' posts. Is he around?

[Schuey2002]

It looks like he has made 57 posts. Do a search using his name. ;)

[Sodbuster]

Duh! :banghead: Thanks Schuey. Guess I'm not addicted enough yet. :)
