Ah, there's nothing like reviving an old thread.
When I first joined the Downs, I used to spend over half my day on the computer. I talked, thought, and breathed the B-D. It was an addiction and it drove my family crazy.
Then in early 2004, I disappeared and ghosted away due to the unfortunate problem of obligations to reality. Over two years later and graduated from high school, I'm back. I admit I no longer talk, think, and breathe the B-D, but nevertheless I am back.

Now I usually spend no longer than two hours on the B-D each day, unless I'm RPGing (I'm a terribly slow writer.)
