| You copy your stats from challenges into an Excel spreadsheet so you can sort by different options trying to figure out what image does best for future challenges...then you get pissed cause DPC steals this from your head and creates this option in your profile two days later. |

If you think you "know" who made a comment on a photo while their id is "hidden during voting".
EDIT - and you are right!

.... If you find yourself going through withdrawals when you haven't visited the site in over five minutes. By the way, I think your local doctor should be able to prescribe something for that... :)

| ...if you keep 3 or more browser tabs open so you can update your score, refresh an active thread, and check out user profiles without having to use the nav bar, you might be addicted to DPC... |

..if it's 12:21 a.m. after a rollover and you've refreshed the homepage 48 times, turned all of the blue folders grey (even on threads not marginally interesting to you), and still you sit there thinking "just one more minute and the new challenge will be posted" You plan to wait just one more minute, one more refresh (excuse me, brb) and then you will go to bed a fall asleep envisioning the perfect way to capture the essence of the new challenge topic. It is 12:24 and you know that the new topic is unlikely to show up soon, but if you go to bed now you may miss it by minutes. So still you sit, writing, refreshing the homepage in a separate tab, hoping beyond hope, forgiving D&L for leaving you alone in the dark without a clue for the future.....then you might be addicted to DPC
Update: I forgive you Drew. I forgive you Langdon. The insomnia wan't temporary as they thought it would be, but I've grown used to it, really, I have.

When you're browsing the forums and checking out the challenge results instead of learning for your final exams.
Oh, sh*t, I'm off!

It's 1:30 in the morning (again) and you still need to run to the store before you go to sleep and you can't pull yourself away before reading one more post or looking at one more image and your eyes are barely open and you start rambling on and on about why you could be addicted and then you forget what you were even talking about and suddenly your eyes slam shut, your head bobs and then snaps back and then SMACK! into the keyboard and you're struggling to go ...strugglin ..stru

| If you walk out the door in the morning to go to work with a camera in your hand instead of your car keys... you may be addicted to DPC |
