Yes
No
Not sure
Don't want to confess
Yes it's my life, don't have anything better to do
No it's the freaken internet
Other - please explain

Been in a position where you end up spending way more time on KB than what you had anticipated?

How often do you go on KB? Breakfast, lunch dinner. Once a day? Less frequently?

How many hours do you spend on here on a daily basis?

Any thoughts comments, post please?

I'm addicted to www.kinkybadger.ductape.com, but because it's so close in my favourites i keep coming here accidentally.....

14th May 2007, 14:18

I dont think i am, just tend to go on when Im feeling lazy or not riding.

Ok, maybe just a little.

hi my name is slinky, im a frequent user.

the first step to a full recovery is admitting it right?

When I am bored at work I have a look! So most of the day then. And when there are rides and track days I have to have a look!

SpankMe

14th May 2007, 14:52

Yes, but not by choice.

Living in isolation from biker groups and places of bike worship etc, KB fills that gap.

Because of the age range, I find KB much more rewarding and diverse than being a Ulysses Club member for instance!

It's like going to the pub for a bit of a yarn with like minded people but without having to travel 100km plus there and back to do it.

With the wide forum subject range that KB offers, the opportunity to be serious or talk shit about almost anything at all is socially rewarding.

The mystery of who is who has always become a pleasant surprise for me when I actually meet the person behind the avatar and words.

So far I have never been disappointed although my minds eye image has been a mile out on occasions! (lol)

KB also reaches right around the globe so it can't get much better than that, can it? (Any KB members on the moon? :shit:)

I have voted No1 and I am happy to confess to it too! :yes: Thanks KB. Cheers John.

I must confess Yes, unless this is a trick, then "no don't be silly."
I love KB, it gives people a really great way to communicate across ages, bikes, brands, and distances, and with only a couple of small exceptions, everyone I meet from KB is a good bugger.

14th May 2007, 15:44

Lolz, keep rolling it people, this is interesting.

Some good explanations by oldrider and macktheknife.

SpankMe you're an exception because your name is in Red and it say's "His Devine Shadow" under that.

I want to see who's the first brave one to admit and post they spend X hours on here on a day :D

My name is bert_is_evil and I'm addicted to kiwibiker, in fact I should be working right now. I just can't help myself. I don't even bother to alt-tab when my boss walks by any more.

I'm only here because my computer is busy thinking :rofl:

I'll stop visiting KB when my work has no more computers, and what a wonderful software development company it'll be! :zzzz:

Hi I'm Dan and i have a KB problem

Ghost_Bullet

14th May 2007, 16:31

I must admit I do fell like I come here to often,
most times just to see if something is coming up in the meetings area, or general information about "stuff"
Most times I may have kb loaded but in the background while I am doing other stuff online... so it may seem like I am spending longer online(looking at kb) than reality.

Joni

14th May 2007, 16:33

Yes, but not by choice.Yup ditto for me...

Loyalty can be a pain in the arse from time to time... thats what keeps me on KB.

Loyalty? I thought it was me, how disappointing. (Heard you had a good long wait at the hospital the other day too, being a good nurse are you?

Oh yes, can't seem to leave KB alone..is that a problem?:whocares:

BuFfY

14th May 2007, 17:18

I am very much addicted! I just spent the weekend in Christchurch.. with no computer! The first thing I did when I got home was turn on my laptop to see what I had missed!! (someone even text me to let me know what was going on!)

So yeah, my name is buffy, and I am addicted to KB

I spend X hours a day on here. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But only because you're all "special".

Have you tried KB spy.?

Will surely help you spend less time here ;)

Colapop

14th May 2007, 19:14

I was a KB addict. I'm better now thanks to an intervention. Work restricted my KB use to only during my lunch hour or after work... Why stay at work and surf when I can sit on my arse and surf at home?

It's better this way... I could have become Sniper... What you wanna see, is who has the highest average daily post count...

14th May 2007, 19:14

I voted yes, my excuse is, I should be studying, but I was having a break.. and another one.... and another one...........

14th May 2007, 19:15

I spend about 1-2 hours on KB every other night , some times i don't even post.
And find myself just reading what others have said
Boy how the time flys. 1 hour gone already and i just found this tread

Big Dan

14th May 2007, 19:56

Your the 16th to join Blackbird.
I think he's number 9.
The 'u=xxx' isn't accurate as I was number 49 and my u=2010. Pickle joined the same day and his u=103...

I'm no addict though.

As per usual, I read the poll and promptly selected all the options. This place has finally allowed my delusions of demented designs to the Gods of Speed and Biking to become actualised.

My students have realised that I am bona fide insane. I'm not insane! I'm ... eccentric!

This site has allowed me to divert my bandwidth to the denizens that dwell here instead of my other perverted passions. Painting little soldiers and tanks and making clank-clank sounds with them! :o

I check it every day.
I do it before I ride, I do it after my ride,
Oh yes, I like this forum spam -
Why? Because I can!
I yam what I yam! Yuk yuk yuk!

I guess post count would find out the obsessives among us. I wonder if KB can do a word count also? :scratch:

Well enough pontificating on pixellated pictures of perfection! There are other threads to read, and post, and read, and post, and read, and post...

Addiction? Who, me? :confused: :rolleyes: :wacko: :blink: :yeah:

Curious_AJ

14th May 2007, 21:32

lol, post count doesnt tell much sometimes.. i for one have more than 1000 posts in lotpihgad alone.. yet they dont show... but im getting up there now with my other posts HAHA! .. oh and GREEN!!

I can see some of you are headed towards some serious addiction problems or already have - Big Dan, Curious AJ. :D

Well who can work out who's got the highest, average post count? Number of days been a member of KB divided by number of posts.

And the winner is ...
...
...
...
...
Have a dig guys?

You know it is in their profile aye?
But posts in PD don't count.. which is where AJ and I spend a lot of our time.. so we wouldn't actually look like addicts

Storm

15th May 2007, 09:45

There are??

Sure there is, I'm not hurting anyone on here,I'm not pushing my goods outside schools etc.
Think about it- women are geneticaly hooked on chocolate, and they cant give it up :)

vifferman

15th May 2007, 09:59

I'm usually only on here during the week, very rarely on weekends, as I come on here when I'm bored at work.
Or lonely.
Or both.
Which means that on days like today, I'm on here all the time.

Second that. And you don't get drinks spilt on you or unwanted arse gropery. At least, not in my humble abode . . .

Zuki Bandit

2nd March 2008, 11:56

I only do a small KB before work, sometimes on my lunch break and another one in the evening. Sometimes I will wake up in the early hours of the morning, you know, just to take the edge off. But im most definitely not addicted.:no:
