513792 2007-01-08 02:52:00 He's 18, finished school and exams early Nov 2006...
His online gaming time has increased to 12 hours (plus) per day - everyday.
No job lined up, not contributing to ISP costs.
Social life reduced to gaming chat.
My son is an addict, a rune scape addict.
I just emailed him to let him know he will be disconnected the internet 12/01/2007. (I'll remove the ethernet cable).
This is gonna cause some strife! :help:

513793 2007-01-08 02:57:00 I am there, well not on the PC that much :horrified

What I would suggest is that you take an interest in what he wants to do and help him put his CV together (if not done already) and look for a job.

And maybe even get him to do out of the house chores (buying something that you forgot in the shopping for example) to get him out of the house and talking to REAL people :p

513795 2007-01-08 03:07:00 He's been playing for 7 years now, he towers above me at 6ft 3inches. I helped him put a CV together last year, he has a car... he's just a lazy addict in a tiny little rune scape world he's made for himself...very sad. chocolate2006 (11426)

513798 2007-01-08 04:10:00 I just emailed him to let him know he will be disconnected the internet 12/01/2007. (I'll remove the ethernet cable).

Let's hope he does not know how to make his own network cables.

513799 2007-01-08 04:17:00 I can understand getting addicted to something like everquest or World of Warcraft, butb runescape? It's just a little java game that there isn't much to do in. hcl (10925)

513801 2007-01-08 07:11:00 Maybe point him to this thread, or tell him from me that Runescape is for 12 - 14 year-olds. Greg (193)
