I think I'm addicted to archinect.

"The Co-op Guy"

I've only been using it for a week, and now look. I already know (sort of) some of the regulars. This thing is pretty awesome. Architecture students (and post-students) are so cool.

One day you admit you're addicted to it, and the next thing you know, you've got 5000 posts.

Welcome. :o)

Of course I'm addicted - but the last two weeks I've been so busy at work that I've been moe of a "recreational user" than a " hardcore dealer", which (with my ridiculous post count) I usually am.

Welcome skibum. There is no group of people I'd rather talk/spend time with than other architects.

whats amazing to me is if you go to other more mainstream online forums a 10k post count isn't rare at all.

Maybe...just maybe... it's because more people on Archinect compose thoughtful posts rather than quick meaningless responses and jibber jabber. (which I appreciate immensely)

There's less bs here than other places, but make no mistake, it flows at times.

Also, try asking some good ol' favs, like "how much do architects make" or "which school should I go to". You'll be popular in no time ;-)

There is no where like archinect! Makes me feel comfy and at home here.








Is that sad?

Sometimes I like Archinect so much I don't want to foul it up with a lame remark.

I think my finger-muscle-memory typing "a-r-c-h-i-n" to bring this site up in the drop-down in the URL line (the "n" refining the field of possibilities, getting past the -dose and -technophilia and -space etc.) is sometimes a stronger reflex than typing in my own password.

Sorry, my daughter called me away from my precious Archinect.

Lowsy kids; I forgot what I was saying...

Oh yeah. I love this place. I don't rack up tons of posts, but if there were another stat for browsing, I'd be a 'regular' too!

ya okay i'm addicted...

i think my low post count doesn't do justice to the numerous times i've completely lost it on this forum, and gone off on some chapter long, pointless rant on some deeply personal topic... and then i wake up the next morning, check archinect again and realize that i've totally killed the thread with my retarded essay of a post...

ya that's basically like an archinect hangover... and then i go back to work all sombre the next day and pick up some redlines...
