View Full Version : Are you addicted?
OK, so everyone on the forum is probably a Florida addict but are you an OV forum addict?
How often do you visit the forum?

I've voted for the first one as I'm never without a browser window open showing the forums and what's going on [msnsmile].

First thing in the morning and as soon as I get home from work, then on and off throughout the evening.:D
When I'm awake and in (even in Florida where I am currently), I've always got a browser window with OV forum on it too John. :)

all day everyday.
I even tend to pop in everytime an advert comes up, some people make a cup of tea, I feed my addiction.
Always having a look and if no-one posts something new to read I have a look at old topics in such places as things to do outside Disney etc to se if I can find some thing new for the next visit.

Not a habit a want to break:D I think in the last 6 months it has definately been less, in many ways I enjoy it even more this last 6 months than before, can't imagine not popping in at least most days, mornings, ummm hourly ish!!![msnwink]

Not as addicted as I have been in the past and I can actually go a day or two without poping in but I do like to keep abreast of things and normally visit periodiocally throughout the day when I am working from home and usually at least once in the evening[msnsmile2]

Did you view the results before voting as that seems to stop you subsequently being able to vote?

That's a shame but totally out of our hands and was not our decision. If people knew the full facts then they may well think differently but this is not the time or the place to discuss it - especially with the said member asking to have their user removed so not being able to respond.
Now, back onto topic please as I've seen enough doom and gloom postings on the forums in the last few weeks to last me a lifetime (as I'm sure others will agree).

Hmmm - that's very strange. All I can think of is you inadvertently clicked on the view results link without realising as I can't see how the forum software would do that otherwise.

I voted once or twice a day but I may have to wean myself off too. It is sad that recent events have seen a valued contributor of the forum go. I agree Liesa, it has changed around here but not for the better in my opinion.[msnsad]

I voted for every hour - if I'm at home then I have a browser open almost all the time and since I got my iphone I even logon when I'm sitting outside school [msnembarrased] but I'm not quite all day everyday - though Dave and Declan think I am!

I've already made a polite request to another user about this above. This thread is neither the time or the place to bring this matter into it, especially when people are not in full posession of the facts.

I seriously need help, first one for me I also have a browser window with OV forum.when I am awake I always know whats going on.
I post everyday some more than others, depending what topics are being discussed.
My daily routine starts dosen't matter where I am in the world
Awake,computer on.kettle on,check emails and respond, make cup of tea,see whats new on OV forum
Then my day begins [msnwink]
Seriously addicted too! Just catching up in case I missed something today, as rarely, I have been without internet access all day until 9 this evening and I am scared of missing something[msnwink]
I voted every hour, I don't have the window always open but I do check everytime I go past the Computer [msnwink]

At least half a dozen times a day. Can't help it really. Must get a life.[msnwink]
Continually checking, I must get on with some work when I get back from Florida [msncool]

I check the forum every day, sometimes once, mostly more often than that. Seriously addicted, I need my Florida fix and the forum is the next best thing to being there[msncool]
OK My name is Julie and I'm an addict in denial.[msnscared]
I voted every evening but in practice it's as soon as I get up after answering my emails. I can't access the forum at work but I'm back on as soon as I get home and then I pop in and out all evening. At the moment I'm in Florida and I tend to check the forum each time I check my email and as you can see I'm still here at 12.40am Florida time.
I voted for morning and evening which is not quite accurate as I pop in more often than that but not as much as every hour due to circumstances beyond my control. However even when away I still try and look in each day.
Always feel something is missing if I cannot log in and find out what is happening.
Every Morning & Most Evenings and because I work from Home probably 2-3 times during the day.
Just love to talk and think about Florida all the time.

I try and visit at least once a day and often much more but it does depend on work commitments and whether I am able to access a computer. Also whether services are available - I have just had a spell whereby my Brighthouse connection has been very problematic and I have been without a connection for days[msnsad]

I go on every single morning, despite the fact that I haven't got an Orlando holiday booked in the near future! I just love reading up about everyone else's experiences :)
Since I retired if the computer is on, which is most of the day then I am constantly checking for postings on the site, it is my Florida fix.
I go on OV forum at least twice a day Sometimes more incase I have missed something
There is allways something of intrest being discussed People on OV have so much knowledge & I have learnt so much from them
