...at the end of it like all the others do.
I agree, they are addictive, I am a forum addict (can't even claim to be a recovering one) and have been for a while now, some more as a lurker than others, but it has taken a few years to learn that they shouldn't be the 'be all and end all' of everything in life.
I own and administrate my own community forum too which doesn't help matters much, but there is nothing more rewarding than as an administrator to have a successful forum (not necessarily in numbers, but in activity) that creates a sense of community fellowship. The friendships and contacts that can be gained through cyber people with things in common with you are second to none.
Sadly, some participants are lonely people that rely on the community for support and to make it from one day to the next.
