November 24, 2008 9:06 pm at 9:06 pm #1119264charlie brownMembernoitallmr,
only 5 times per hour?
November 24, 2008 9:20 pm at 9:20 pm #1119265eisheschayilMemberwhen you can predict what specific members are going to say before they even post it…
November 24, 2008 9:31 pm at 9:31 pm #1119266AnonymousInactive…you approve (and disapprove🙁) all the posts that need moderating and are come backs 3 seconds later to check for more.
(yes that actually happens, even if it doesn’t feel like that sometimes)

November 25, 2008 12:27 am at 12:27 am #1119272AnonymousInactiveshtultzy guy,
Should I start listing the names for you, perhaps it will help you to remember your passwords? Well, well, before I do that, I would ask the posek hador for advice.
November 25, 2008 12:29 am at 12:29 am #1119273dont have internetMemberAHAH shtultzy guy and posek hador are the same person?
November 25, 2008 12:38 am at 12:38 am #1119274TOHIGHSCHOOLGUYMembertouche … tell me, does anyone moderate the moderators … lol … who are these guys anyways??
November 25, 2008 1:06 am at 1:06 am #1119275I can only tryMember…you sign your screen name at the bottom of a check
…you hear a good joke and audibly respond “LOL” instead of actually laughing
…you stay late at work to make up for all the time spent reading posts (true)
…when asked your name, it takes a minute to remember your real name instead of your screen name
…the sound that immediately follows havdala is the “click” of your computer’s switch as you check the latest posts
…six hours before havdala, you think “if I were in Israel, I could be posting”
…YWN is your homepage
…when you refer to certain names in conversation, no explanation is needed
…the only words that get you to shut down the computer are “I’m lighting candles”
…you won’t eat before davening, but you will check the latest posts
…you spend time responding to silly threads
November 25, 2008 1:48 am at 1:48 am #1119276shindyMemberSupper is burned because you were too busy posting recipes.
November 25, 2008 2:05 am at 2:05 am #1119277JosephParticipant…..when squeak is trying way to hard, when he could simply ask Joseph to lunch.
November 25, 2008 3:07 am at 3:07 am #1119278BogenParticipant…when you (think you) have a psychological profile of the other frequent posters in the Coffee Room.
November 25, 2008 3:17 am at 3:17 am #1119279smh1Member…when every sentence begins “I read on YWN…”
November 25, 2008 4:06 am at 4:06 am #1119280The Rabbis daughtersMemberWhen all the news you know, and updates in the frum world are from yeshivaworld and thats about it you know on the news.
November 25, 2008 4:13 am at 4:13 am #1119281beaconParticipantI think more people need to get lives! (me included)
November 25, 2008 3:17 pm at 3:17 pm #1119282smartcookieMemberWhen you feel smarter than all other posters here…..
November 25, 2008 3:40 pm at 3:40 pm #1119283squeakParticipantJoseph – thanks anyway, but we’d never find anything to talk about.
November 25, 2008 3:57 pm at 3:57 pm #1119284JosephParticipantsqueak – Yochanon (from the main yw site) thought the same thing before we went to lunch.
November 25, 2008 3:57 pm at 3:57 pm #1119285intellegentMember…When you go to sleep thinking about your conversations on ywn and wondering why on earth you spend so much time arguing with people you don’t even know… and then doing the same thing again the next day.
November 25, 2008 6:39 pm at 6:39 pm #1119286yoshiMemberWhen you go through “YWN Coffee Room” Withdrawal every Shabbos, and Yom Tov!
November 25, 2008 8:39 pm at 8:39 pm #1119287jewishfeminist02Member…when temporary loss of Internet access is a major tragedy because you just KNOW someone responded to your post and you have to read it!
…when you log on Motzei Shabbos knowing the freshest post will be 20 hours old since it’s still Shabbos in NY, but you’re disappointed anyway.
…when your roommate asks why you bother arguing with anonymous people on the Internet and you have no good response, but you just can’t stop doing it.
…when you check YWN before checking your e-mail.
…when you stare at random people on the street thinking “that could be Joseph” and then think “oh wait, he lives in NY…well, maybe that woman over there is yoshi. Where does she live again?”
…when you read through all of the posts on this thread and find yourself nodding along.
…when you do the usual read-through of your post before pressing send and realize you have just listed all the reasons why you need to get a life.

I sure know what you mean with those last four – I think we all need a shrink.
Maybe we can get a discount for group therapy.
BTW – It just dawned on me – this is the first time you wrote something I actually agree with! 🙂
November 25, 2008 9:30 pm at 9:30 pm #1119289jewishfeminist02MemberShehechiyanu! 🙂

Were you one of those annoying girls on the bus last night to Bnei Brak laughing like a couple of hiyeenas?? JK!! 🙂
November 25, 2008 10:28 pm at 10:28 pm #1119292coolestMemberIts funny that so many people mentioned Joseph. When I saw the post my first thought was: I know I’m spending too much time on YW when I’m looking for ways to start up with Joseph
November 26, 2008 12:55 am at 12:55 am #1119293The Rabbis daughtersMember… when you consider someone on this website your pen pal(See: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/how-old-are-you)

November 26, 2008 2:00 am at 2:00 am #1119297yashrus20Memberwhen you see what it is please spell check it 🙂
November 26, 2008 2:40 am at 2:40 am #1119298chasid-of-HashemMemberit sounds like every one is admiting to some compulsive tendencies over here…. ever heard of internet addiction? seriously, though, i think YWN does a great service by providing a kosher atmosphere for venting, arguing or just stating your opinon.
November 26, 2008 9:08 am at 9:08 am #1119299RBS_gimmelParticipant… when you stop being a baal gaava and actually listen to some of the advice given
November 26, 2008 12:03 pm at 12:03 pm #1119300RBS_gimmelParticipant… when you send the YW Editor the following email:
“you’re closing down too many geshmacke threads lately – com’on, let the oylam shmooz :)”
November 27, 2008 3:46 am at 3:46 am #1119302shkoyachMemberI guess you know you havent been on YWN for way too long when you finally come back and have no hasaga of what’s going on in the coffe room!! i guess thats the point when you know b4 hand you were on WAY too much. Its good to be back… I feel like I missed out on some good threads and am too tired to go and read through everything now!!!
