Hi, my name is Stingray and I built my own addiction.
-S
-
You MIGHT be addicted to this board if....
Your wife hides packages addressed to you until monday because she thinks they are arcade related and wants you to get some work done around the house instead of "working on that thing again."
-
You MIGHT be addicted to this board if....
You have a hard time selling your old computer monitor at your garage sale because of the noticable "ArcadeControls.com" screen burn...
-
I can quit any time I want!
-
You Might Be Addicted If....
call in sick to work to work on your arcade.

Hello, my name is Garry, and I am a Arcade/BYOAC addict.
Are the noises in my head bothering you?
-
Hello my name is Arthur, I too am an arcade/byoac boardaholic.....
I am running out of places to hide all my parts from the wife untill I get my cab finished :D
-
I'm definitely addicted.
I trolled the boards for what seems like at least 2 years or more, finally registered on the boards sometime last summer, and have actually posted a few times. Yet I'm here almost every day.
Oh yeah, I finally started my project (in the already bought parts, and cut me some wood sense of start) - something I've been wanting to say since the day I found this site. ;D

Hello, my name is Matt. I am an arcade-aholic. This addiction caused me to play more than just Pocket Pool. Thank You BYOAC. Im not only addicted, Im also a client/mod.
-
I'm not as think as you addicted I am, Ossifer :police:
I vote no....who are you to tell me I'm addicted? I can quite any time I want to. You're not the boss of me. Leemee alone, you don't care anyways. You're not my friend. I can fix it myself.
:-X
sorry about your shoes.
-
It is easy to quit, I've done 1000's of times :angel:

BYOAC has been my home page for several years now, unless it's football season. Then I have my fantasy football league's site as my home page. I just switched back over the other day. :)
And, yes, I'm an addict.

Hmmm... I never thought of that.

I check in on the boards almost hourly...... If only I dedicated that much time to Building my cab!

If I don't have regular doses the twitches and hot flashes come back.

That's the layman's term. The proper term is an "enabler" ;)

I had an issue with my browser that was continuing to add time to me.
From what I've seen (um...does admitting all this verify my addiction? ;) ) you don't actually gain time from leaving the board on, as I do, in fact, leave the "home" page open. It doesn't add time to your totals unless you're browsing the board.
I figure there's between 2-4 days worth of error on my total.
I got such a high total due to the fact that when the board switched over to this software, I was on doctor's ban from work, so had nothing to do but peruse the board (read A LOT of old posts from pages back) and start laying out a CP.

wait you mean you actually work on arcade machines too? i thought you just came here to write really long posts and debate politics

Some day you might want to check out people's profiles and research some of their prior posts.
I know, I know, that's kinda like "work" and not entirely up your alley, but think of it as time you should have spent working on the toys you bought, instead of foisting your problems on someone else dishonestly.

Check out THESE stats!

Paige is KING of the posts!
-
hmmmmmmmm perhaps I should surf the boards with four browsers open to quadruple my time and knock Drew out of first place........ :P
-
I'm not sure how Paige suddenly got such a high post count. We were really close for a while, then suddenly I looked one day, and his count was like 1,000 times more than mine.
Not that it makes any difference, mind you, but I found it interesting.

i was just joking you know =P
:P
You caught me at that "special time of the month"
Someone get me some of that special smooth sipping "medicine" from Tennessee.
Peale, he had that rash of party posts there where he had to attach each picture which prolly boosted his count to silly heights. Just think how far ahead of you he'd be if he had stuff to sell like barrel locks ;) ;D
-
Well considering while the forum was down I was pacing back and forth and hitting the refresh constantly and checking the chatroom I guess that means:
YES I am an addict.........
;D
-
:laugh:
I must've been checking it every few minutes for HOURS last night......
"Hello..... My name is Daniel and I'm a BYOAC forum-aholic"

I Was about to start a thread about being addicted to this site and saw this thread! Im always coming here, even for no reason, with nothing I want to see. Ill be doing Homework or looking something else up, and always end up coming here, I CANT STOP! Ill check this site, see nothing really that interests me, and come back 2 mins later, seeing if anything has changed, its unbelievable. Im going to reach the 1000 post mark before I know it...
