you know what a capybara is.
(This is on of 'em imported topics, I'm sure you'll come up with better ideas)
... you know what MNI & CHS stand for...
... you're going through the grocery store mentally concocting a response to a post and totally forget what you were supposed to be buying.
can you spend too much time on A2K?
... you dream you are reading & writing posts
... Or, when you talk to people in the "real world" and accidently use forum names without explaining. As in "Bear and I went to see..." or "My friend Shewolf is from that area and... " Doesn't even cross your mind to explain why someone would have such a name. Some strange looks follow.
... you have shortcuts to most members' webcams on your desktop
When I have breakfast at the corner cafe they hear me talk about Letty, Littlek, Brooke, ehBeth and think I've got a harem.
or when you throw around names like kicky, slappy, nimh, lord ellpus and don't even stop to think that they may sound awkward to non-a2k world.
Over coffee in the morning an interesting article catches your eye and you want to get to your computer to post.
Instead of WWJD, it's WWGS about this.
(What would Gus say about this......)
you're a veteran member :wink:
... you look up an internet cafe to check on a2k when you're abroad/on holidays ...
... when someone has been trying to contact you for a day & a half about something important, but your (phone) line's constantly engaged. (One line only. <sigh> So they contact Telecom to report a phone fault! This actually happened to me a couple of days ago!
When something comes up in real life, and you say to yourself, "I wonder what
name of relevent A2K member would think about that?"
you have Reyn's collage as your wallpaper.
Your checking up at 6:00 in the morning before you go to work.
