Usually no more than 10 minutes or so, sometimes I get too excited and...wait what are you talking about?

Yeah, like most forums that pertain to something that is a part of my lifestyle, I do find myself checking B&B occasionally throughout the day. On days off, a few times an hour.

Member since January 2012. I don't know if I am "obsessed" with B&B but I do check in a couple times a day when i am around a computer. My interest and focus on the forum changes with my ADs and what I am currently fixated on. (Oh, that sounds like "obsessive" language!)

This is a great community and so may here are helpful and generous beyone belief! Lots of fun here. Thanks folks!

I'm on a computer most of the day, so I'm checking in several times. I keep going through the BST, looking for that super deal....but I still miss them....every time!!

Part of what does it for me here is not only fulfilling my ADDICTION, but the old world charm of socializing with gentlemen! No cursing, no insults, just good guys helping other guys. Members pifing one another. It just very refreshing to be around gentlemen!
Kudos to B&B and it's members!

I have a Tab dedicated to B&B since my enrollment, a great place to Debate, Learn and Share on more than just Shave Related Experiences.

I'm on a computer all day so check in here and have read when I'm waiting for something to compile or a batch prog to finish.

I've found this a very easy place to post and I've enjoyed going through the reviews sections and reading advice that I've found useful.

I enjoy forums - hang around a hifi forum as well - as you get to hear from people who genuinely enjoy what they are doing, have experience and don't mind sharing it.

I agree. I am on a few other forums for hobbies and the level of gentelmanly conversation is nowhere near what this community has to offer. No cursin, typos, correctly spelled words. I love the fact that this site stays true to it's purpose and isn't allowed to turn into a political or moral confessional for the masses. The PIF thing also has blow me away and I have even thrown it out on another board. Thank you, gentlemen.

Have been on for a couple of months now.

I make a couple of posts every now and then :smile:

I check in usually at least once per day since I joined, so yes that is somewhat obsessive. PIF rocks and got me to PIF a few things. Which reminds me, I need to do a new PIF of some hair products I received.

Same here. I open a bunch of tabs that I read between other tasks at work and then repeat throughout the day. I'm never here long at a time, but constantly in and out.

+1 - I've pretty much been here every weekday since I signed up in February. It kind of reminds me of Vans Airforce (http://www.vansairforce.net/), which used to boast about "Lowering productivity in cubicles around the world" and proudly displayed the stats to prove it.

I still check in once a day or so and I've enjoyed the growth of the forums and topics. Not as much participation as I would like right now but things change and my free time comes and goes. It will eventually swing back the other way.

I joined in May 2010 and the only time I don't check in is when I have no Internet connection. So, I guess that makes me obsessed

I don't know abnout being obsessed, but I'm very dedicated to B&B since my enrollment in 2010. :thumbsup:

On the other hand, I don't know about you guy & gals, but I'm guilty http://www.myemoticons.com/images/people/baddies/handcuffed.gif and I gladly admit it...I have CPD (Compulsive Posting Disorder)!

Some of the symptoms for this Disorder are;

1. You check B & B before you check your e-mail.

2. You're in the middle of something at work...but have to check / post on B & B.

3. When your significant other (SO), asks you, "What 'cha doing on the computer"? You inadvertently answer that you're 'talking' to the guys & gals
on B & B.

4. You no longer have any notion of time spent on B & B.

5. You check-out B & B for the latest...every hour or so...everyday.

6. You want / like to beat-out our other members and be one of the ten (or less), to post first because you don't want to be the 'odd'
person out. http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac14/girlee_girl/emotions/cdwink.gif

7. You 'save' your your conceptional thoughts (opinions, replies, reconmendation ect...), to a Word document because you haven't the time right then (or you let the Thread 'mature'), then to finish and post.

Do you have any other symptoms to add? http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-merv/thinking.gif

I'm here a lot. And when I'm not physically logged in, I'm wondering what everybody is up to. :001_smile

I sit at a computer during the work week so I usually have a tab open to pop in and check things (or fuel my latest addiction). I've been learning a lot and appreciate this wonderful community.

I usually check this forum 3or 4 times a day. Since the Olympics have been on though I have skipped a couple of days at a time.

I've been going strong since 2007. Rare is the day when I'm not on at least once.

As others have said, B&B has completely eclipsed Facebook for me. The community spirit, and the sharing of knowledge and experiences, is truly wonderful to behold. I admire and respect this whole unique group for placing a high value on the preservation of our gentlemanly traditions. The sense of decorum here is a rare thing in today's increasingly rushed and rude world.

Very proud to be a member of B&B.

Nick
