I find myself spending too much time on HTLAL and decided to go on a "HTLAL-free diet" for a year or so starting tomorrow.

My vote registered yay :-)
I can totally relate to your comment. I joined the other day but have read the forum on and off for longer. Since registering however, I've lost count how often I've visited! I've enjoyed it and have learned loads, but will stop once I return home next week. And in any case, a friend has told me how quickly you get censored or even banned here and I don't honestly fancy that. I'm abroad this week and had anticipated being busy with the people I'm visiting or sorting things out and the like, but as it turns out they don't do it like that here so I've gone on the computer and entertained myself by visiting HTLAL instead. I could be out and about sight seeing but it's rural, I travelled over by train so without my car and it's freezing cold. In the long term I bet I'd seriously piss off some of the big wigs here, so a week's visit is probably better than becoming a regular lol. Good luck with your "HTLAL-free diet", I'm sure you'll suddenly find you're achieving much more with the extra time. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am spending less time here now than usual, because I spend almost all my time on the 6WC. I am still here several times a day. I am going on a vacation next week, and I do not know yet whether I will have internet access, but I think I'll just lie down and die if I don't. I think it would be extremely hard to be without the forum for days. Addicted? I don't know what you mean :-)
I wouldn't worry about being thrown out just like that, though. You may get a slap on the wrist if you disobey the rules, but you are not expelled without reason. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am in the forum several times a day, but I should better stay away from it in the evenings and do some more relaxing things.

I often limit my time here to certain times of day, though I allow myself to frolic here during the weekends.
Northernlights, I think you'll find moderation on this forum to be relatively open and aboveboard. Discussion of these things crop up and are not censored, as far as I know, but they tend to happen in the senior members' forum, which you don't have access to until after 100 posts, I believe. With that said, I hope this will not derail the thread. Back to topic, I think the time I spent on these forums have been well spent, as I've saved a lot of pain and wasted time on bad learning. I feel that I can now, as a moderately successful language learner, can give something back by participating here and helping others. And of course I'm still learning a lot through these discussions. It's not like the time spent here is wasted! I do tend to get other hobbies from time to time, though, and I've disappeared from this place for many months at a time. So I'll be looking forward to seeing you when you return, Doitsujin! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This forum sure is interesting, but I can't spend too much time here, because the loading times are killing me :)

I keep it open much of the time when I'm using my computers (including the ones at my job), but that doesn't mean that I'm constantly reading and writing here. And sometimes I also have to travel - otherways I get abstinence symptoms like frantically poring over ticket selling homepages, maps and touristical homepages (preferably in the local languages, so the time is not totally wasted). But I don't bring a laptop and in many places around the world internet cafés are dying out because everybody else has a laptop and uses wireless connections) - at least this gives me an excuse for seeking out the local tourist informations and ask people there for concrete addresses. Guidebooks often have some information, but these addresses change constantly. Edited by Iversen on 12 February 2012 at 1:02pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
