    OK, I have a proposal. I think that the admins need to get together and start a new support forum for this that are already, or beginning to become, addicated to Coin Talk.

    If you believe you are becoming addicated, check this list of symptoms..

    1. Have you found yourself getting less work done than you used to before finding out about Coin Talk?

    2. Have you ever posted on Coin Talk before 7am or after 11pm?

    3. How much time did you spend working on your avatar (picture)? More than five minutes and you should be concerned.

    4. How many times have you changed your avatar? More than once and you should be concerned.

    5. Have you mistaken a 1955 poor man's doubled die for a true 1955 doubled die and sent it in for certification after having spent several hours reading posts on Coin Talk?

    There are other symptoms, but we need not embarass everyone ;-)

    Well - I've got the first two down cold. Guilty Your Honor :D

    As for the other 3 -

    My avatar is ME - kinda hard to change that. No matter how much I work on it :rolleyes:

    See sentence above :D

    Whewwww - safe on this one. I don't collect cents ;)

    So ya see - I'm not addicted at all :cool:







    Bye now - gotta go see if there are any new posts yet :D :D

    Hey how did you get all my personal info :D

    Other than I haven't mistaken a poor mans double die yet, sounds just like me!!!!!!!!

    I have finally found an avatar program, so now changing is quick and painless :D

    Step 1 - We admitted that we were powerless over Coin Talk, and that our lives had become unmanageable.

    Yup - except for the 55 DD, I think I am going to work my way down to cents from dollars, so I'll let you know in about 50 years. ! :D

    It IS a bizarre addiction. I don't even really collect coins (yet?), and I read just about every post on here....

    i think I have a SERIOUS cointalk addiction problem. Sometimes on on thsi website for two hours at a time. I may not have all of the symptoms, but I think Im going crazy. If I get on my computer to do 5 minutes of work, It ends up taking me two hours. On of my friends who I recommended this site to, Mercury, was also addicted and decided to wait a while before coming back to the forum.

    but... It's still the best anywhere

    At least this is a positive and healthy addiction that promotes learning so don't feel too guilty...

    :)

    I haven't posted on here in a while... just been too busy. I prbably would be addicted but i'm hanging out on about 8 forums now and i'm beginning to forget which ones i visited or not. :rolleyes:

    Plus i have to read the posts very fast as i'm dealing with about three forums at a time, usually in about half an hour.

    Guilty as charged. Way too much time on my hands, and very much a recluse lately has me searching through old Necro-threads out of boredom.
    I do however occasionally strike gold. :D
    I said occasionally. ;)
