    DP Forums is quite addictive , Once you Post , it becomes difficult to stop .. I got lots for work to do for my Site etc but the addiction to DP And the eagerness to Post is preventing me from doing my other works ..

    Anyone is facing same problem as me ? Like They cannot work on their own site because of DP ?lol :)

    I think my addiction to DP is more reading than posting....for example...If I read a post that is 100 days old...I'm not going to make a response...I don't like bringing up old threads.

    I just couldn't help myself from sneaking and posting here. I'm working as a Search Guide, I don't know why I manage to be here at the same time work. There's something in this forum that drags me back and forth.

    Same here. I have to do lots of work but I spend most of my time on DP. Trying to manage my time and work :(. DP is really addictive. I can't wait to reach atleast 15 posts daily ;)

    DP can be addictive. This past December I went on a posting frenzy, but I juggled that with my regular work. Turns out I got a bunch of customers from DP -- fellow addicts -- so we get to share this crack experience together!

    cure 1 - remove all thread you subscribed. You will save a lot of time. Also restrict yourself to BST forum only

    if you are deeply addicted, change your password to something that you don't know so you won't be able to log in.
    Also, set up your browser so DP will be blocked.

    At the same time, replace DP with high quality SEO/SEM/Money making blog if you really bored.

    I 've just pass my first "weekend without DP" last week and it feels good. I did much more work than normal day :)

    DP has gotten a hold of me. Lots of stuff to do around the office but DP comes first. Having read all u guys posts, I share some too. I've just introduced my friend to DP just the other day - how it'll affect her, i don't know.

    My daily 'to do' list includes reading, posting and creating threads on DP... but reading would suffice... somehow I wonder if it's for the thrill of increasing post counts... or just simply for reaching out to, or 'connecting' with others and sharing a common interest.

    Strange that most of us only know each other by Avatars and Nicks - and we feel belonged in this community of global friends. Nice pull factor?

    I am not an experienced forummer. DP is my first forum I've joined and I find that there's this friendly atmosphere in DP. (I think most forums are). But choosing DP - no regrets. I am new here. I feel welcomed and accepted. Friendship can be addictive!

    Yep, same here. I can't really work on my day job and also some of my sites. What I've did was to close the browser and never look at FF icon for the whole day. :D
