Why is it...
Wondering if this afflicts anyone else
Why is it that thelower the post frequency and the larger the number of threads on the front page that have already been read, the greater the need I feel to check GD as often as possible to see if anything has changed.
If the entire front page is orange (retro v2 /o/) I might not have the urge to check it again for a day. But once it's all gone grey....
Especially when I should be in bed
Sad, I know
[Note: This post took a dozen rewrites and it's still shit. I am definately going to bed :\]

I get this. It's more to do with how many threads have already developed. I dislike joining a thread two or three pages in (although I still do). It's much better when you can keep track of things, etc. Which is why I have no desire to go to a "busier" forum.

Re: Why is it...
I like to do monotonous repetitive tasks because it makes me feel safe.

Re: Why is it...
Some guy on ER had a brain disease thing which made him do stuff again and again.
He got sacked i think.
Unemployment benefit awaits you too.

Re: Why is it...
The ironic thing is Yahwe's "im superior" comment is the most repetitive thing which exists in this thread.
