I think one could narrow down pvn addicts to a four-fold dynamic profile.
Please note that a higher profile always includes the former ones (1=low 4=high):
1) Youthful Narcisism stage - checking the effect of their own jokes, boasting when drunk, writing clever epigrams like in teh movies, showing off technical apparatus, etc...
2) Group stage - Story-tellers, compulsive posting of uneventful episodes, toxic posting, intertextual posting, etc...
3) Isolated Addiction stage - Scorn posting for newbies, real-life problem threads, using the Ignore feature, etc...
4) Death of the Nick stage - violent ranting, getting strikes, starts forging new identities, social death, etc.

you know what – you and jeedub should get together like someone said. so you show a building at a certain angle and if anything else looks half way similar (which it doesn't) you start greeting about it. Just get on and try and design something good ya mad fud.

tru story - I was trying to reply to this thread, when my internet just bombed, my G5 bombed, and when I restarted, the default language was spanish... perhaps it's bad karma... or maybe it's a sign to break the yolk of bondage...

A few of my programmer pals here in edinburgh write a whole load of shite and then run a script that ejects random responses into every new thread created.
Surprised nobody's spotted yet.

So do the people around you know/see your addiction?
Ever get in the way of work?
My addiction is the real mail. When I hear my dog bark at 11ish, I kow the man is here and I may get something good. Like X-Mas morning... everyday! Except Sunday.

"forum participation can also become a destructive addiction, where the benefits are overshadowed by negative side effects.
Here are some potential benefits of regular online forum participation:
Intellectual exchange
Learning new ideas and refining old ones
Enjoying community membership
Influencing the forum's evolution
Contributing to others
Making new friends and contacts
New business leads
Keeping up with current events
Learning about new opportunities
Here are some potential negative effects of excessive forum usage:Reduced concentration and focus
Reduced productivity
Chronic procrastination
Increased pessimism and/or apathy
Being distracted by endless debates and idle gossip
Gradually substituting tribal group think for your own intelligence
Impaired social skills, neglected relationships, and a weakened social circle (a consequence of substituting online socialization for face-to-face conversations)
Reduced energy (forum participation is sedentary compared to more active social outlets)
Reduced self-esteem
Career and income may suffer (including loss of employment)
Forum addiction"

It's very much like chatting. You get some sort of instant reward. If you'd spend your whole life in NT, you'd always have a link to click and follow, a topic to reply, a webpage to post, and so on.
You'd spend your life here, "refreshing" yourself, forever.
