Yes, it's kind of cult like, but it's not a bad one because we still have religious freedom despite being a little obsessive and nutty. Actually, it's more like a harmless commune. Posted via Mobile Device
(I don't really think it's a cult, I just thought it was funny to compare the forum to the warning signs, lol)
Warning signs that someone may be in a cult
The following behavior changes do not necessarily imply there is a cult problem, but if someone you know has become deeply involved with a new group or organization and exhibits many of these changes it may indicate a cultish involvement.
Thinking in black and white terms
Using a new language/cultic jargon
Saying goodbye to all old friends and only seeing people affiliated with, or not critical of the cult
Creating distance from family, especially during holidays and family events
Euphoric, yet simultaneously tired and worn
Humorless
A change in diet and sleep patterns
Low on money
Poor grades
A dismissal of their life prior to involvement with the group as "all bad"
A change in goals, priorities, and life plan
Return to child-like behavior
Dogmatic adherence to new beliefs/ideas, with the inability, or lack of interest to logically assess these new beliefs
