You Know You're Addicted To The Revival When...

MuslimSisLilSis —

-u have more friends on the Revival then u do in real life

-you make sure you stop by the forums at least twice a day, or you leave the browser open if you're at work or school

-whenever something intresting happens in ur life/other peoples life u find urself dying to tell the ppl on the Revival

-u find urself smiling at the jokes/posts of others members even when ur not online

-ur frustrated and dont know what to do with yourself when Revival is down.

-u can easily waste a good couple hours straight online

-everytime u switch on the computer to revise or do an essay you decide to go on spend the whole day reading posts instead

-u find ur self wondering how nice would it be to bump into onother Revival members in real life

-u can easily hate and love revival members that u don’t even personally know

-u eat food by the computer whilst posting msgs on the revival

-u stay "hidden" or as a guest so that other members dont find out how sad u are Cough-irfan-Cough

-after a weeks absence u find urself missing the members and wondering if they’re missing u

-If someone cusses the Revival-its as if they’ve cussed you-u take it personally

-you are reading a "you know when ur addicted to the Revival” thread and find urself nodding and agreeing with it

-You can’t sleep at night so u keep ur sister awake making stupid “you know ur addicted to the revival” lists

Feel free to add ur own

you revival forum junkies twisted

the revival forum is like a drug, it gives you a high when others read, agree and are impressed by your opinions and respond, (well in my case if they only read, i hope ? )

It give you a low when your opinions are crushed by opposing views, you lose an argument and no one responds to you.

Its addictive , as once you post , you post again, and again, and again,

It becomes more important than your work and freind, and you rather stay on the forum than chill,

its causes insomnia

you become dependant and suffer withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit

it can give you feelings of pleasure but can also cause aggressiveness

It can cause you to mispell, debate profusely about useless things usaully involving the words wahhabis and brevalis

most detrimental effect is that IT CAN MAKE YOU INTO MINDLESS ZOMBIES WHO HAVE JUST FOLLOW THE SAME OPINIONS AS THOUGH WHO POST THE MOST, AND THEN GANG TOGHETHER TO THOSE WITH OPPOSING OPINIONS.

[quote="RAF786"]admin come on take the test, your the only one that can beat muslim sisters score[/quote]

what did she get?

Besides that, I have no life. I already know that.

I am not missing anything by being here.

And whilst here I am also doing alot of work on the site... or trying to read ALL the posts made that day for moderating purposes, and then answering queries from members about certain topics...

so it would not be fair.

[EDIT]

There are three types of lie:

Lies. Damned Lies. And Stats.

There are quite a few members on these forums.

I actually thought MuslimSister rarely visited... Probably me though as I come on late at night normally... after work.

Noone needs to agree with anyone here. and rarely does agreement be reached.

(and I see you are trying to imply she is a mod... that is a banned subject... read the rules...)

[quote="Admin"]I know.

Only one higher is Hayder. Despite his on/off ban!

He asked me to ban him again... 'but tomorrow'. The request was made yesterday. Should I ban him?[/quote]

Admin make sure he dont come on this forum EVER :twisted:

He needs to get his work done and obviously coming here distracts him, ban him for his own good.

Why didnt u post this much in the old old forums, you were more of a loner then...

You — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 - 01:26

On the old forums it took over two year for a total of 42,000 posts. Here we have 49,000 in around 6 months...

I have posted alot here. It started as I was trying to get things flowing again. On the old forums I generally kept my own opinions out of it. I had a few hundred posts from a private account aswell.

A few weeks ago I was seriously considering leaving. Just walking away. But I had to do one thing here. A bit of moderating there. A change here. an update there, and I was not allowed to leave.

And Dust talked sense and slightly talked me out of it...

[quote="Admin"]I was dejected...

I still am. With everything. But not to the same extent. And I have since applied myself with work. Adding features, changing the looks of things...

It was just after the free-for-all.[/quote]
ah ok, now i remember that period of forum-blues and 'depression'... 😛

well i wudv linked the thread but looks like Admin deleted it - he'd just called it 'Dejected' or 'Dejection' summat like that and put one line (or possibly one word!) for the introductory post... 😂 but he did have reason to be cheesed off and 'dejected' - we'd all just had a bit of an unnecessary storm raging in the [url=http://www.therevival.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1229&postdays=0&post… thread'[/url].
