- EbenieRosa, on 10/12/2007, -23/+954I live on Digg man, for about 6 to 7 hours a day usually.
By the way, digg up my comment, it'll make me feel special...infact feel free to comment on my comment, I'll be checking in periodically. - bunni, on 10/12/2007, -9/+285Sign #1 - you bury this as a duplicate story.
- TimTheEnchanter, on 10/12/2007, -17/+228Dugg up your comment dude.
- UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -3/+129I'm guilty on nearly all charges. Somehow I still miss stories even though I check Digg constantly.
- amboy00, on 10/12/2007, -0/+103Oh man! I am so busted. Is there a group meeting for us or something?
- tutivlahos, on 10/12/2007, -6/+104Here we go...
My name is Tutivlahos and I'm a diggaholic.
*everyone*
Hi Tutivlahos! - treyd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+70even if what you say has nothing to do with the parent post. just like this.
- tkim91321, on 10/12/2007, -7/+65its ok... if digg didnt exist, i woudl have jumped off the building a long time ago
|D|I|G|G| - My Anti-Drug - chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -5/+63you reply to the first comment to get noticed!
- neoknight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+59You're going to wail like a girl now!
- bloqmon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+50denial...
- TheWorkz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+46I think there is one missing......
16. You dont tell your real friends about Digg so you can give them the news personally or forward them the latest News. It makes you feel even more important and that you are on top of everything! :) - WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+44#17: You own a digg tee shirt, and you get a special feeling when you are wearing it.
#18: When you occasionally read Slashdot, you feel like a junkie trying to kick their digg-habit by using Methadone.
And, of course, it never seems as good as the real thing! - titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -3/+47Wow, I pretty much qualify for all of those. I want to see Dr. Phil visit Digg.
- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+43#16 You dugg this story and tried to think of a witty comment but this is the best you can do...
- DubbedOver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+36"3) You visit Digg so much that the newest story is STILL the newest story the next time you visit."
I do this all the time at work, so I start checking "Most Popular" upcoming stories because it's almost as good as the front page. - nickerbocker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34#16 - You create a blog posting about Digg and hope it makes the front page.
- thekidder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30@shinynew
Hell yes. Digg needs a forum. - bashar129, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28You lie, a true addict would never spell it wrong.
- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27Reply.
- TheBigBoss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27"1) Digg is the first place you visit online. Bonus points if it's your homepage."
Thats me alright. - mysquares, on 10/12/2007, -4/+28i dugg you comment hopeefully you will befriend me ;)
- Chesterfield, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Now even my kids say "Dad, stop digging! I'm hungry!"
- RT55J, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24"13) You feel really downhearted when no one replies to your comment or diggs you up."
That perfectly describes me. :( - MaxwellTD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Oh my... I do that all the time.
- bashar129, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I got some of my friends into digg and now, whenever I show them articles or videos they have already seen it.
- mt066, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I hesitate to comment sometimes because I know I'll be back a bunch of times to check how many diggs I got, and to make sure no one replied negatively and stuff.
- macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Hi,
My name is macbookpromat, I started using about a year ago only to get good stories. I finally signed up not too long ago and started digging. When I started I told myself that this wouldn't control my life. I failed. I have come here for help "sniffles".
On another not so retarded note, is it bad to be addicted? - WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Yesterday was my one year anniversary as a digg member....but I forgot all about it, as I spent the entire day on digg.
- Isotope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11My wife threatened to divorce me last night when I had to check digg one last time before we left for the movies to see Blood Diamond...
- spritom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11This story's still at the top for the 8th time? It's been like 2-3 minutes already...
- succubuskiller, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I did the craziest thing to help my addiction. I edited my "hosts" file in the C:WINDOWSsystem32DRIVERSetc
Made a copy of the original. Then added sites I do not want to get sidetracked on to the current hosts file:
Specifically:
127.0.0.1 www.digg.com
127.0.0.1 digg.com
Now just rename the file to 'hosts2' anytime you want to view Digg or other 'blocked' sites. Rename it back to go to DNS page or whatever. There is a batch script floating around somewhere on Digg to do this with clicking instead of renaming manually. I haven't used it yet. Will work across IE, FF, Opera etc. - Cerberus047, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1090% of all your bookmarked pages are digg stories.....
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I've got a great solution for #12

Type in your username, and it'll show the comments. I can't live without this thing.
Come on, click it! Crash my friend's server! :D - WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Top 2 reasons why I will not digg your comment up ever:
1. You have no sense of humor.
2. See 1. - jimi1337, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Ahem... What ads? I turned AdBlock+ off, specifically to test the validity of your comment, and I could still find no sign of ads. Additionally, the submitter last submitted a story 120 days ago, and it got 4 diggs. Not to mention the fact that he is a graphic designer, and doesn't strike me as the type who supports blatant spamming. Here is his homepage, btw (provided from his Digg profile).
http://www.theworkof.co.uk/ - Utopian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10They missed my favourite:
You want to digg up/down comments *wherever* you are on the web. - WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Don't worry...previous generations all did the same exact thing. They called it the 'morning paper.'
It was actually made of paper, and was left on their doorstep.
(Back in the days when people could still go outside.)
(Oh sorry....'Paper 'was this kind of frozen-display 'monitor,' made from the ground-up bodies of these tall, greenish creatures called 'trees'....back in the day.) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11..dude, I have to go to ***** rehab...
- Rorrim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9* F5 F5 F5 ... *
- thunderer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12I feel disheartened that you don't have a link to your website in your profile.
- MaxwellTD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8All the thumbs on this page are grayed out for me...
- TimTheEnchanter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Hi Tutivlahos!
- vorfix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8By reading that list I realized how addicted I actually was.
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Learn to spell "bored".
- windhawk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8#17: You check digg from your mobile phone. (cough)
- mgagne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8#17 You have installed the PermaTab extension for Firefox in order to prevent closing Digg by error. Closing it by error make you feel sad.
- windhawk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Eerie. Very eerie. almost SCARY how on target his list is... (feel free to digg this comment if you feel the same way -- I will check back often :))
- jimi1337, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9[rant cont'd] Also, isn't it slightly more likely that the submitter is simply new to Blogger, especially considering he just created his account this month? Please provide slightly more than circumstantial evidence to back up your claims in the future.
P.S. Don't digg me down because you think I'm a troll -- Digg me down because I didn't add something relevant to the discussion.
