Help! Addicted to WSO
I find myself checking this site every 10 minutes. Did anyone else get addicted when they first started using this site? If so, how long did the addiction last?

Sad....I guess not surprising when 'everythingsucks'.....
^^Touche
WSO is a gateway drug to sadness.
Hmm...it's helped me figure out how the game works, so speak for yourself.
Unserious post was unserious.
Rest assured: the average WSO user doesn't have a clue as to "how the game works"
stuff on this site really doesn't refresh every 10 minutes? usually i'll stop by every few days to read the pe, ibd, and monkeying around sections...they deliver the funnies for me
^^I exaggerated a little. It's more like once an hour (on average).
im sure the excitement will die down after you realize that 90% of posts everyday are related to "please tell me if i have a chance", "rank these banks on prestige", "i want to kill myself because I am 18 and don't have an ibd internship this summer"
i know right! It's those bananas i tell you. I love it when i type a comment and see +1 banana...i mean, who wouldn't stay on for hours on end. If you snooze, you may miss a golden banana getting opportunity.
This has to be music to Patrick's ears.
I had a big problem this summer. I was working a crappy BO job and it was fun to come on here and check the site. Agree with above, once you realize many threads are "Rank these banks" or "Do I have a shot" you start to check it less. However, I usually am on here every day to check out the regular bloggers and to see if there are any interesting threads. Your addiction could last a little while, but its not a big problem. You'll learn a lot more on this site than you would if you were addicted to internet games or internet porn or something of that nature.
Been a year and I still check it everyday. Never thought I would actually learn anything from a bunch of monkeys but guess I was wrong. It's also the closest you get to Wall Street without actually being there.
I usually have the site on in the background or I will check it from my Iphone if I am bored. Sometimes the topics are not too interesting to me, but other times stuff gets juicy. Use the updated search, this place is a treasure trove of information for recruiting and networking.
It's called an iPhone not an Iphone, you dumb slut!
