    10. Your post count is higher that the forum software can handle.

    9. You have memorized the page layout and can navigate the site blindfolded

    8. You have been logged in since the day the website started and are not sure of the Log Out link actually works.

    7. You need therapy to recover from the trauma whenever there is an outage with the site.

    6. You post in every forum at least twice a day.

    5. The site admins have named a forum after you and the topic is OCD.

    4. All your nightmares revolve around being banned from the site.

    3. Searching for post made by you is disabled in the search function as it crashes the server.

    2. Your number 1 concern in life is the limited number of boards.ie smilies to choose from.

    1. The Admins check with you to see what times suits you for server maintenance to take place.


    Feel free to add your own...

    You get confused when visiting websites that don't have a navy/lightblue/white colour scheme.

    Your breakfast, lunch and dinner all consist of pop tarts.
    As you don't want to be away from boards for more than a few seconds.

    You argue with the god-squad Flanders types, out of habit, , even though you'll never change their opinions.

    You know you need a break from boards when:
    • You're on the phone and when the callers says something funny, you say: "l o l.."
    • You see a car crash and you whip out your phone and log into m.boards to start a thread.
    • Your with someone who tells you a joke, you laugh and say: "Thanks.."
    • Your sexually attracted to users based on their Avatars.
    • A user gets loads of 'thanks' for a joke similar to one you made, which got none and so you log-off in disgust.
    • A Doctor tells you have a hairline fracture after a fall and you say: "Pics or gtfo.."
    • Your in a cafe and the waitress asks you do you want anything else and you say: "Your ma.."
    • You take a contract out on a Moderator for moving your thread to the Cuckoo's Nest.
    • Your house gets burgled and you post in the Help Desk.
    • You discuss fear of starting threads in After Hours with your psychiatrist.
    • You walk down the road thinking about witty comments you could have made on a thread ..
    • When your out and about, you wonder if any of the strangers are your Boardsies friends.
    • You use the term 'Boardsies'.
    • Your last PM said: "Will you come downstairs, your dinners ready.."
    • Somebody slips in front of you and you say: "Fail.."

    You don't bother googling things, you ask the posters of AH instead

    Your name gets mentioned in threads you haven't even posted in

    when someone asks how life is going, or any other random question, you have to stop yourself from saying "pics or GTFO"
