I was listening to a talk show on the radio today about the game 'Fortnite'.
Seems it's terribly addictive for youngsters, parents phoning in to the Show up in arms about it. Main story was about a 9 year old girl who is now in rehab, she was so addicted she was stealing money to purchase whatever it is can be purchased in-game, sneaking out of bed to play it all night and actually sitting on a cushion and wetting herself rather than take a toilet break !!!!
Ehhhh, and I thought my little 3 hour BXP Weekend binges on Runescape were naughty.
It's up to parents to put passwords on the PC. Parents don't put passwords on so there kids wake up and don't disturb them for hours at a time because kids can stay in PCs for hour upon hours. They will wake up early to get on. It's up to the parents, that wasn't that child's fault the parents knew exactly what they were doing by not adding a password to the PC.
My kids can have up to 40 minutes each several times a week which can increase or decrease depending on behaviour, sports, activities.

Man, Forums have been quiet last day or two. Wonder why...
Blame it on the weather in England it's weired. Not seen this much sun in years.....
I blame Tuffty.... He needs to appear more often.
I will honest. Was in hospital on Saturday but only for a short time. Doing well though. Just panicked a bit when I was in a lot of pain and I mean a lot lol.
I blame the Sun again.
Dang Tuffters! Sorry to hear that. Hope you recover super quickly.

Seriously though, there are not many active forumers left on RSOF like we had before.
All the flamebaits because of personal opinion and hates are childish in nature. Also, before any of you start blaming others for bullying, look at yourself first. The problem probably starts with you.
Krystelle, I've seen this plea before. I hope that we can all just be friends and put our past differences aside and accept each other's foibles.
Since there are too few and it's nicer to just discourse than start problems.

Some people live to start problems evidently.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
And so do I Molly I totally agree, and yes there's a few that live to start problems and that's all I've ever wanted for it all to stop.
That 9 year old girl was playing through xbox. I would of taken that xbox and put it in my wardrobe. And the parents want the game banned rather than teach the child limits.
