Not to the same extent as some threads. For example, there are threads where posts from days back are replied to and then spark chains of thought. (On the other hand The Eternal Thread tends to reach abrupt conclusions...)

As if I'm much better. I don't post often, but I'll spend hours reading a forty-something page thread, even if other NationStates users post faster than I can read. This is getting out of hand
Havl wrote:Hi folks. My name is Havl, and I'm an addict. I've been active on NationStates since 6 December, 2004. I've never had a CTE, and I've logged onto NS at least once a month for almost seven years.
For most of that time, I didn't do much. I posted on the Jolt forums a dozen times, maybe. And I had about 300 posts on the new NS forums, which seems like a lot but really isn't. I guess you could say that I wasn't very active. But then something happened. About two weeks ago, I started posting like crazy (OK, not as crazy as some 50+ posts a day people, but still). I've posted something like 200 posts in two weeks, which is a huge increase for me. And now NS is the first website I check everyday. I keep a browser open to NS as I check other websites. I think about NS at work while I'm away from the computer. If somebody posts a response before I leave for work, I think about my response all day. And, worst of all, I've even started to post in Forum 7.
What's wrong with me? How did I become a forum junkie? Has this ever happened to you? Will it go away, or will it only get worse? Help!

Good grief, that was ages ago, and if I recall right half the forum was all "OMG CONGRATS!" and the other half was "... For real?! " Geez, how long have you two been married now? It feels like it's been forever!
