1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    3. I'm always on DoA, trying to learn more about BJDs...About 2 to 4 tabs are different threads! ^^ I guess I'm addicted, huh?

    4. Since deciding I was getting a BJD this time (again), I've been practically stalking the site!

    5. Because I have a smartphone that connects to the internet through Wi-Fi, I am ALWAYS ON. It's really unhealthy! Although I don't leave many comments I'm always hanging around the Sewing and craft stuff area. Sometimes I'll even wake up in the middle of the night and go on DoA!
      For the record, we're moving houses tomorrow, my room is only half packed, and here I am sitting on the computer, on DoA. :S

    6. Once I have my doll...you will know me very well. LOL
      I really like the feel of this community, and I am excited to get to know everyone. I'm already checking DOA several times a day. My laptop is what I work on, and well...I have wireless and can log on anywhere...

      You know how that goes. I really love the galleries. :3

    7. I need to post again here, because I realized that, because I am addicted, I find the threads I post tend to be less thought out, and such. Anyone else have that?

      Like, I totally get the search feature, but when you have posts with different titles that don't directly mention the issue you're looking for, or if you're too tired to go through all of them, you tend to get sloppy. At least I do.

    8. I'm really good about checking every day. Even like now when I don't even have a computer. Addicted? I'd have to say yes.

    9. I usually check any messages/posts on my own threads every morning, and then just lurk around reading new posts in the evening. At home I have things to do, so I only check in twice a day. At work, if it's slow and I don't have anything else to do, I'll log on several times a day! But, without fail, I spend at least 2 hours and often more online. But it's usually when I'm watching TV at night and winding down for bedtime, so I don't give it my undivided attention.

      I don't think I'm addicted, just diligent!

    10. I think I need a period of time when i'm not ALLOWED on DoA. XD

      I went on a 3 day vacation and came back and this is the first thing I got on right after entering the door.

    12. I don't have my doll yet, though I find myself on DoA quite often. I enjoy learning about the BJD's and seeing how people customize them and their creativity. Though I usually try to only post with well thought out posts. But it keeps me occupied, and out of my little depression, as well as helps me unwind from dealing with a two year old terror for twelve to fourteen hours a day. Perhaps I am addicted, but who knows. :)

    13. I don't have a bjd yet, but I find myself on Doa all day long I don't comment much (I'm more of a reader at this point).
      .. Probably I spent to much time reading on DoA but I've heard no complains from my family just yet.

    14. I visit DOA daily, and I browse at least 1-2 hours... :D

    16. Completely addicted here. If my internet is up, it's there. Especially now during summer vacation xD I just love browsing all the different sections.

    17. I try to pop in at least a couple of times a week to read the news and check out the discussion forums. If I have more time, I will look around in the Gallery threads. And when I am interested in a particular doll or company, I will check out the threads devoted to those. The Marketplace is always such a huge temptation...I will look around in there when I want or need to buy something doll-related.

    18. I browse DOA all the time, especially when I have nothing else to do. It's kind of become my go to site. I absolutely spend at least 1 hour here per day, but usually I check throughout the day so that hour is split up. Some days I check it out more than others though, so it just depends. I'm totally addicted though, so we'll go with that. :P

    19. Since I work night shifts, I am on my computer all day so I am on DoA too. I suppose you could say I am addicted....I don't have friends that are into bjd's, so I like to come on here and be with everyone that is!!!

    20. Add me to the addicted list. XD I'm on here daily checking out news, reading various threads, browsing the MP. I go through periods of how much I actually comment and contribute to discussions, but it's become a habit for me to spend a few hours worth of time each day at least looking around. I especially enjoy viewing the gallery threads. <3
