--> If I were your Mom and I saw you Surfing on NB without doing your Assignment /Homework First..I will turn off the Modem.:heh Good thing I'm not)
---> Try to analyze your own situation. It should be Real Life > NB Life not the other way around .
Oh. Dont' get me wrong , I super duper <3 NB. It's helping me and I'm learning a lot of things from this site. I've met lots of cool People. . When I'm on NB feels like I've open CNN, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube, on oNe Page=D.
It's just that, when Reality Bites.. . Versuvio, Rei, Zise, Caliburn and the mods cannot come out of the Computer Screen to help you.
Enjoy your stay here in Nb , obey your Folks, .
Breath and Live. <3.
I am still trying to explore this forum. but for the OP's question. I'd say 'No'. My sister loves the graphics central section. many cool signatures and avatars. theres nothing to be ashamed of, but for my age. Its not annoying but embarrasing
