When ever i'm on RHP, i find myself aimlessly wandering around the site looking at pointless stuff like finished tournaments or clan stats. I seem to drift as if posessed, through player profiles and siege history's too. Why am i compelled to do this?? It's a complete and utter waste of time! Yet here i am, at the end of a long night shift, frittering away a good days sleep on trivia. It is a testament to the organic nature of this site i guess, users can stamp their personal touch to the site which makes it completely fasinating. Look, i'm doing it myself, and here you are, reading this pointless piece of forum spam in quite the same crack addicted, RHP Junky fixated manner. I am contributing to the problem....i feel so guilty.....i'm sorry....forgive me.....i know not what i do.....I think i better end this post before i make it any worse.....*

I forgive you, now go to your room!

anyway I find myself doing that as well, even during work! Thanks RHP for making my working day actually interesting!

I refresh the forums page every few seconds at least to see if anything has been added.

I don't ussually look through tournaments or stuff liek that. I'm more interested in the games. I find myself looking through other people's games hoping to learn. I also refresh the forum and my games page a little too much.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!
Perhaps this thread should morph into a kind of "RHPholics Anonymous" self-help forum.
Declare your addiction and find redemption.

I think the truly addicted won't even post in this thread out of shame.

Yes, I'm looking at you. You know who you are.

No need to be formal, we'll just call you "the".

Don't worry mr. T. Plumber, you'll get over this, eventually.

um...the 'anonymous' bit is going to be hard...

anyway, there's a 12-step program to help addicts. the first 3 steps are

1.e4 c5
2.Nf3 d6
3.d4 cxd

no wait, that's not it...

Hey, why are you looking at me? I am not an RHPholic. I mean, okay, maybe I sometimes spend a little too much time here... yeah well, sometimes a whole day... and I know I shouldn't be here now, since I am at work, but hey, everyone needs a break from time to time... I am certainly not like those crazy people who hang around here all the time and post nonsense, I am just a normal person... okay, not really normal, but... well... my point is... um, sorry, I forgot. Anyway, what were you saying? Oh, you didn't say anything, you were just looking at me. Please stop.

i think that if there's anything that could send people running away from the site that would be it :p

congratulations on finding the cure!
