I would not say I am addicted, but I do really enjoy it. Also being a moderator for different sections I need to be on here quite frequently, just to read every post and make sure it is coinciding with the forum rules. But since I enjoy reading most of the posts on here, its really not that big of a deal to spend some extra time cleaning up the forum a bit. I especially enjoy when I am able to provide insight and answer questions others may post about.

I'm addicted to the internet.
And this forum makes the internet more fun and let me have more things to do.

My answer is similar to Curt's - Being a moderator means being on here quite frequently to read all the new posts and make sure that I answer any questions people may have.

Im fairly addicted, but mainly because I really want the posting incentive stuff.

The posting incentives will come in time,...a lot of time lol. I am aiming for the 10,000 posts, so I do not see that coming my way anytime soon unless I spam the hell out of the page (which I'm not going to do)... In addition, the incentives are a great thing to do for the supporters, but we as posters need to do what we can to keep the posts quality, so that when new people come in here and browse our forum they aren't seeing a bunch of trash posts.

There are 2 guys aiming for the 10,000 posts now.
(I'm not aiming that far, by the time I might reach 10,000 posts, the prize should be already taken)

Mr Magic and I are in a friendly race to 10,000. It will take quite a while to reach that goal posting mainly quality posts, but all in all will be worth it. Like I said, the incentives are nice but are not the driving force behind this community. I hope that this forum will become the home and grounds for everyone that is into cards, cardistry, and magic alike.

How do you know its friendly? also yea I try to be on here 24/7 because otherwise i will see hundreds of post at a time. I have recently decide to only post a few times a day to help stop the dumb pointless post.

He is kindly said friendly means that he doesn't think of you as a foe but a friend with same aim.

Lol, he knows, Phantom. We have been poking a eachother since this thing started. I think we both have slowed and realized the quality over quantity when it comes to posting. Going to take significantly longer, but it's all good.

I contribute the fact of others coming over to this forum to several different factors. First and foremost, we are a family here. From what I see, our members try to treat each other with a certain amount of respect, even with the forum being uncensored. Some may have difference of opinions, but the respect is still there. Other forums are more along the lines of people willing to cut the throat of their brothers, just to look a little better.

Another Factor is how hot Aether is right now. The Vortex deck and its popularity cannot be denied. We are everywhere, on every fb page, in every forum. Our textual voices are heard literally worldwide. In addition, the marketing strategy of Aether is spot on. The signatures, the give aways...it all makes perfect sense and unity.

1.  Not addicted - I do possess a life and I do go to the big blue room with the big yellow light every now and then.  (Usually when the light is off, though!)

2.  The last post to this topic before yours was made before I became a member here.  BTW: are you a thread archaeologist now?  Well, to be fair, these are less like threads and more like corpses by now.  I know - you're the Reanimator!
