> Deneb*I think internet addiction is a very sad and serious thing. I struggle with it myself. This board in no way helps me develop real life skills, in fact i think it hurts my real life skills. It's been causing me to withdrawl more than usual, and it's making me upset.
I don't see how this board could help RL skills at all.
