is archinect addictive?

le bossman

i've been wondering this for some time now, if perhaps they put nicotine/heroine in el server, and perhaps that's why i float around in here sometimes instead of doing the workityworkwork. bye bye.

yes, yes it is.
i have what is known in college as the "need to write a paper syndrome"

ie: sit down in front of the computer to work
think about what it is i'm supposed to be doing
check archinect
think some more about what i'm supposed to be doing
check my email
take a bathroom break
sit back down in front of the computer to work
think some more about working
check archinect
get a drink of water
etc, etc.

along with a pill that allows me to function without needing sleep, some genius scientist needs to invent a cure for my computer-induced a.d.d.

Not nearly as addictive as the old version where you could easily be 100 different people.

Swear on a bible first, but tell us!

The only one I can think of off hand was the one with a bunch of really ugly renderings. It didn't last that long maybe 30 posts, but there were some funny images in there.

I'm so bad....I have that problem too

I complain to myself when getting coffee, that no one has replied to posts in like 90secs and that archinect has changed because ppl aren't talking as much (its really me just being reminescent of the "pimping banner")

i do have to fess up, i kept to 4 names on archinect v1 [and like many...'your name' was one of them] and had some threads which all 4 of us had a rant raving good conversation between ourselves alone on the thread with a few folks breaking in which we tried collectively to shove off....its sort of like going to therapy....now you have to throw something out there and hope someone bites......cant be bothered by multi id's

I liked to think of it as a socratic monologue, as opposed to a sign of mental illness or severe narcissism.

i have to believe that anyone that has ever posted on the "pimping architecture" archinect has used an alies atleast once to cover some shrewd remark. i myself can recall many such remarks, some about the de-urbanization of detroit and how it effected my education, and others about simple things such as ninja dentists and how they are sweet.

i just remember what my freshman professor told me the first day of studio:
"eagles may soar, but weasels never get sucked up in jet engines"

Well, I said I'd confess, so here you go:

1. Frank Gehry fashion thread "Help me out, are these cool?"
2. The 2004 Election thread, as the Cosmonaut.
3. What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done thread.
4. The architecture student who dropped all his tools into cement, including his shoes, and tore up his apartment, after his professor told him he was dirt.
5. What's your favorite item of office equipment?

Last, but certainly not least...

6. Crab Cakes Are Not Economical

I am The Ghost of Le Corbusier.

I swear to God the above is solemn truth.

I don't know if archinect is addictive...but having blackberry and being able to surf favorite porn anytime/anywhere is certainly addictive
