My wife is getting worried
My children are complaining about me hogging the PC
My eyes are getting sore from being on a PC all day and now again at night
How the hell do I beat this chat room addiction [smiley=help.gif]

Mmmm..
The only cure I can think of is dont pay the ellectricity bill
Average 9 hours a day, most days of the week in front of a computer mate. Get used to it - there aint no cure.

Go fishing ya dill!Originally Posted by Cheech
Seriously though Cheech..........I got hooked when I was researching autism. The newsgroups are a mine of info. Then I got hooked with Napster and lately winmx and other p2p music sharing progs. There's so much stuff out there and it's more or less for free..........must take a look at some of those P sites one of these days ;-)

yep the best cure is to go fishing.. trust me it works.
I broke a 9 year addiction to cigarettes by going fishing.
I would go to the remote spots and not bring the smokes and stay there the whole day. By the time I would come back I wouldn't feel like a smoke because of all the walking and presto few weeks of that and no more habbit.
So, fishing is good for you!!!
I guess you can say it saved my life!!!
I hear you Cheech, I find myself checking Ausfish a number of times each day just to keep up with all the posts. Along with the BOM, various bodyboarding sites, Coastalwatch.com, music/file sharing programs... All this plus the little bit of work I do, its easy to spend hours on end in front of the nerd-box. Your right Kev there is a HEAP of info out there all readily available.
I tell myself I'm not a nerd because I'm on a FISHING chat board, not just any board where you talk crap and pick-up fat, ugly chicks that tell you they're beautiful... lol
You guys are still able to use those music file sharing programs there? Over here, they threaten you with death by catapult for even thinking about downloading music illegally. There are stories of twelve year old kids getting giant fines (in the thousands of dollars) and getting sentenced to community service.

DC, Your post cracked me up
Gee, thought I was the only one who had this "Problem", well I'm not alone
I feel as though I'm logged into the site all day, then sometimes through till 8.00pm, also check the QFM Chat Boards and Fishing reports. Other Favs are the local and overseas Tackle and Chandlery sites.
Have just unloaded Foxtel, so now I'll set up a Computer (Internet) at home. Never thought of myself as a computer nerd either (still know f*&kall about them
.

When I saw the heading of this thread, I was worried. I thought someone was seeking a cure for fishing. Wha ....... no way. Don't want it. Don't want to ever be cured of the fishin' bug.
We're still getting away with it here........for now. Even if they try to stop it, there's still other ways.........people simply go to their local library and borrow, then copy a few CDs

Yeah mate, we still got P2P stuff over here. Have heard about all the legal crap going on over it around the globe, but as yet, we're yet to cop it. Undoubtedly we'll see it sometime soon though.

Craigie,
trust me, Foxtel won't help cure the addiction - it will only aggravate the situation as generally Foxtel is a load of out of date crap!
I agree with a couple of others, go fishing!
