I know what u mean, @emgp6 - I take breaks periodically to keep my sanity.
whatever happens i always manage to come back. it’s a form of addiction i guess

The internet is extremely addictive and I never thought I'd get into social media but here I am.
this is the only “social media” i’m on. aside from whatsapp i guess
i found it because i was bored and was new to the site and was blindly navigating it
founf off topic
responded to some random thread
I used to use general chess discussion bit one time I accidentally scrolled down and see OTF and I clicked it, and now I’m stick with it.
OOO AH UP THE RA 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

You probably feel like you are part of a secret community

Wait a minute... I always thought this was the "Official Tropics" forum. You mean I've been in the wrong place all these years?

Apparently, senility is kicking in - it's a beautiful thing, ain't it?

I was exploring the website when I came across forums. Scrolled to the bottom and found off topic. One thing I like is the absolute randomness.

Maybe so but we’re LOVABLE idiots! 😁
How I discovered it? I was just on general chess discussion and as I scrolled down I saw something called off topic. When I first came to OTF I felt it wasn't for me, after all this was a chess site and I was here to play chess. So I ignored OTF for a few weeks, but slowly, I started going through the forums, and posting replies when I felt like it. Now I just can't get rid of this addiction.
I discovered the OTF page when I was going through a major chess
slump, and I had just unfriended
someone who I really liked and chatted with a lot, and frankly, I was BORED!
What do I like best about the OTF page? I like engaging in witty banter and exchanging ideas and being creative and encouraging and hopefully, not TOO bossy!
