how do you know when it's time for a break from Hatrack, and what extraordinary measures do you take in order to give yourself that break? standard length of break?
I know there are many of you "old-timers" around (grin) that take breaks . . .
Or maybe you just lurk?

I am hyper-posting lately. I think part of it is that I am holding a newborn a *whole* lot, and I might as well browse while at it (even if I have to type one-handed a lot.)
I have taken breaks, sometimes to force myself to cut down on the "addiction" aspect, sometimes because I have lost the desire or interest. If I am "lurking only" it often means I'm burned out or disinterested.

I know I'm not an "old-timer" but for me, it really depends on what's going on. Usually I'm distracted by some other addiction, like Myspace, or a new video game. Sometimes I just read the threads with the intention of posting my opinion, only to find that most of what I originally thought about writing has already been written, so I lurk by default of not having anything productive to say.

Yeah, Sam, me too.
Exactly like that, in fact.

I tend to fade in and out. I never conciously say "I'm going to go on Hatrack less." I just lose interest and post less.

I'm not even sure why I come back as frequently as I do. Probably because I do Hatrack while working on my math homework. (I friggin hate Mathematics).
And anyways, there are some interesting people on Hatrack.

Shan, I announced some time ago that I'd take a break from Hatrack, then went on to lurk, came back, posted a couple of times thinking "hey, I'm back", and then took the real break until now. It's not when you say it, it's when you really feel it. Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
