    Forum addictions

    Report bad ads?

    to our Muslims members, Peace to our non-Muslim members,

    I notice that we have some members that spend a considerable length of time here daily.

    I wonder if it is healthy for a person to spend that much time on the PC? How much internet per day is too much? Is there any harm in being addicted to a forum? Do some people hide from life by building up an artificial cyber-life on the PC?

    Three simple rules in life:

    1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
    2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
    3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place

    Re: Forum addictions

    Selam aleykum,

    I wonder if it is healthy for a person to spend that much time on the PC?

    - No.

    How much internet per day is too much? Is there any harm in being addicted to a forum?

    - Depends.


    Do some people hide from life by building up an artificial cyber-life on the PC?

    - Probably.

    Just to give us all a chance to look at ourselves. It is possible to damage ones personal relationships by substituting the internet for real life. Hopefully, that is not happening here. But, if it is happening to any members i hope they can recognise it as a problem and regain control of their lives.

    Forums can be a sort of home to some people. In many ways LI is my Islamic home as I have very little contact with Muslims in real life, where I now live. To a large extent this is my connection with the Ummah. However, the realities of life does limit when I can be online.

    Perhaps, if it where possible for me to be on the PC whenever I wanted to be, I would develop an addiction. If that would be a healthy thing? I do not know.

    the subject was on my mind, thanks woodrow...
    indeed, some members spend too much time here, it's certainly not healthy, but I think they might not have an alternative?

    btw I usually come here when I'm bored
