oops most of them apply to me!! lol good list lilsis

-You find yourself wandering into other forums but find them all lame in comparison…

-You switch on your computer before you eat your breakfast.

-You find yourself burning dinner and being late for stuff cos you were busy posting on the Revival…

But many of the above are true for me too…when I hear someone cussing the Revival it does feel personal. And I also hold a soft spot for some members and would love to meet them…

And I'm often smiling at some of the stuff members come out with...

you know your addicted...when you are getin late for wrk at 9am but still want to check out the posts b4 you leave!!

lol, gotta say thats a great list and i'm guilty wen it comes to atleast half of it! :oops: 🙂

lol GUILTY! well most of it anyway 😛

-You know your addicted to the revival when the very first thing you do as soon as you get home is check the posts.

you know your addicted to revival when you have a migraine but still read/write posts!! (call me insane or whatever)

- you know you're addicted to Revival when you go down the shops, you have the Revival on your mind and you forget the bread

you know you're addicted when you come on the internet to get remedies for arthritis for your old mum and you spend 3 hours posting and totally forget your mum

[quote="irfan"]- you know you're addicted to Revival when you go down the shops, you have the Revival on your mind and you forget the bread[/quote]

LOL

I have revival on the mind 24/7 too

[quote="MuslimSisLilSis"]

Easy, don't make me sound as bad as you.

I just happened to be thinking about the Revival and forgot the bread. I don't think about it 24/7. I still have remnants of a life.

but I've never gone out and forgotten to get sumin cos I was too busy thinking about the revival

I'm able to think about the revival AND have a life at the same time

Maybe you can give me some pointers.

-You know your addicted to the revival if the first thing you do when you come online is check the posts.

-You know your addicted to the revival if you cant go a week without posting.

-You know your addicted to the revival if after a week without posting you start feeling withdrawral symptoms.

Lol-you know something’s in life you do automatically, where no thinking is required.

E.g washing up, doing the hoover, doing your hair/getting ready etc etc

In such situations it’s easy and possible to switch off and think about whatever you want to think about…

Only reading/doing essays/praying etc requires ones full attention.

The revival also takes up a lot of my thoughts…

[quote="irfan"]

unlike women

men are unable to do/think about two things at the same time

so there's no hope for u

you'll be forgetting the bread for a lot longer

True.

Men will do the tasks one at a time.

But they will do them well, efficiently, and quickly.

Women will do them at the same time, with low quality, take extra long and nag others whilst doing it.

:twisted:

purlease :roll:

if women werent blessed with the ability to cook, clean, take care of kids, work, take care of themselves, massage their husbands ego's ALL at the same time AND do a good job at it

relationships would break down

I remember when I first read this thread a little while ago, when I was not posting and I thought that Lilsis has some serious mental issues with some of the stuff she wrote. :roll: , I actually still do 😉

However, it surprising how The revival keep you engaged. It not as good as it once was as the opinion isn't as diverse as it once was, and there not as many discussion, due to the fact many good posters have disappeared, but it still probably the best muslim youth forum out there.

-You know your addicted to the revival when your glasses hav the revival hmpage burned into them.

-You know your addicted to the revival when you google for new subjects to talk about.

-You know your addicted to the revival when you refuse to go to a holiday spot with no electricity and no phone lines.

-You know your addicted to the revival when you finally do take that holiday, but only after buying a cellular modem and a laptop.

-You know your addicted to the revival when you start dreaming about it.

-You know your addicted to the revival when you turn your computer off and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug of your loved one.

-You know your addicted to the revival when you start introducing yourself as your online alias.

-You know your addicted to the revival when after checking for new posts and there arent any... you check again.

lol, most of these probz apply 2 me...and ive only been on for 7 days! sumat like an average of 20 posts per day, half of em from my bed in morning or b4 i go sleep or at work like now. (for the past 7 days, ive done mothig much at work!)

must stress tho.....revival is my 2nd love. the 1st bieng skysports, isnt an article i havent read 8) ....and i turn my pc on for many reasons, and i always eat at the computer. lol, but much less now than i use 2.

Seraph unlike MY list urs was SO not orginal

and Kash I'M not the one with mental issues

I dont think anyone spent as much time on this forum as u used to

-You know your addicted to the revival when the wife shouts "No! The computer can not come to bed"

No I think we where about equal 😢 , but it was much more diverse at that time and interesting, me think. Now there too many people following the same thing here.

[quote="kash"] Now there too many people following the same thing here.[/quote]

what u got against social solidarity?

and yet u also seem big on Unity :roll:

this forum would obvioulsy generates Like minded-Revival agreeing/supporting members

those who feel that people dont agree with them-leave

like that pradah obsessed Deobandi

Not really, for any good dicussion to first take place, they need to be a good blend of people from different belief. That when you have a good discussion, when everyone pick on one person, it doesn't mean anything. Especially when that person can't put forward a straight agrumemt. In the past this place was full with these sort of people which isn't the case now.
