You know you are a forum addict if...
1) you ever posted a response that simply said 'first'.
2) you need counseling if you ever posted a response that said 'second'
3) Getting infractions does not bother you, they are a badge of honor
4) your 'nth' post is ' this is my nth post (where n = 1000, 2000, etc..)
5) Someone rags on you and everyone attacks them to protect the 'old timer who helped them way back when'
6) You don't care if the game is down, as long as the d#mn forums are up!!!
7) you post threads like 'server's up' with your OP saying 'j/k, psyche!'
8) you end up working for turbine (TOLERO!!!!!)
feel free to add your own....
