You know when you've been on the T17 Forum too much when...

[super_frea]

- You attempt to log out whenever you leave a room.
- You say something similar to what someone else said and then are concerned they might accuse you of "creating multiple accounts"
- You say something wrong then attempt to edit your post.
- A new person arrives in your class/workplace and you advise them to stay clear of the Fan Art section.
- You see someone with a large head and ask them how they got a 200x200 avatar.
- Every time you attempt to talk your fingers wiggle uncontrollably
- You're humming one of Mordi's songs for the majority of the day.
- You walk around your art class looking at people's work and exclaiming "It's good, but it doesn't have worms in."
- You think someone has stolen your big blue hat with an S on it
- You begin almost every sentence quoting what the person before you has just said.
- You begin looking for something then expect the forum to require you wait 20 seconds between searches.
- You accidentally say what your signature says after a sentence or two.
- A conversation goes horribly off-topic and you expect Thomasp to come and delete what you just said
- You spend a good amount of your day thinking of something good to write here.

I knew I had been on too long ages ago. Then I forgot about the forum and got on with my life.

Sadly, It didn't work. Now, after several months I have returned. In other words, I haven't been on the forum enough where as everyone else is still here. strangely my eyes feel a lot better too.

I lurked the forum first in 2003, and occasionally looked at worms threads.

I think there was another one but I can't remember it.

And, you would've been on two years younger than when I came on, which for me was *counts* 10, so you would've been 8 :p

[Shadowmoon]

Yes i lurked. If you don't beleive me, thats your problem.

The first thread i looked at when i lurked in 2003 was the make-a-weapon thread.

Also you forgot the part where not everyone looks at every single thread!

I was 8 but i was allowed on the computer then

Lemme tell you the story...

I looked at the make-a-weapon thread.

Asked my mum if i could join but she said no.

Made a document with about 40 weapon suggestions that i would post in a thread when i was older....

Switched computers, lost the document

Kept lurking till 2005.... maybe i did see that thread but i have a bad memory....

In february came on looked at a thread and it said you must be registered to view the forum...

Found another way to view threads- archive mode.

Registered in August as grenade something,

Deleted validation email, (i didn't know it was a validation email) and joined again in November....

So all along i've been in your midst.

So you remember things from 5 years ago that were said on a forum? Are you sure you didn't just search for the thread to pretend you actually browsed the Team17 forums at the age of 8?

[In 2003] I remember Robowurmz giving a suggestion that was rubbish, Worms the final countdown, and then Bloopy saying you suck for ending the worms series....

And also a few posts from the make the weapon thread...

- When you think Shadowmoons lying

Wow, you mean I posted on the forum before I knew about it? I joined in 2005, dimwit.

Hello, i meant i'd seen a few posts (not by you) in another thread.:p

What do you mean, Shadow? I don't follow.

Shut up, i'll tell him now.

Wormatty, search make-a-weapon thread in the search system. When i lurked in 2003 or 2004 i saw that thread and i read some pages of it 4 or 5 i think it was.

When i sad also a few post from the make-a-weapon thread Robowurmz thought i meant him, and i didn't.

But you did say robowurmz posted in that thread in 2003. Look, see, I've quoted it above. Are you getting confused?

On the left, a screenshot I took for 3333 posts. On the right, a "fake status" avatar I made after the post count, custom titles and join date were removed.

[quakerworm]

wow. really doesn't feel like it has been that long.

[Paul.Power]

Also: 31408

So we now know that the change from the old "Non-Retro Purple" to the seasonal skin happened some time between my 3333rd and 4000th post. And either in late '02 or early '03 (check the change from "Top Waffler" to "Top Waffler 2002".

[super_frea]

It really doesn't seem that long ago.

[Kelster23]

Does anyone know the reason as to why they took those away?

[Akuryou13]

Does anyone know the reason as to why they took those away?was already stated in this thread. they were discouraging elitism

[Kelster23]

Okay. I don't know if it was me who asked it the first time, but I see.

[quakerworm]

was already stated in this thread. they were discouraging elitism
and that worked so well.

[Akuryou13]

and that worked so well.did I SAY whether it worked or not? just said that was the intent.

[quakerworm]

did I SAY whether it worked or not? just said that was the intent.
my comment was on how well it went for these who intended to strike elitism down. i apologize if it sounded otherwise.

Woah, I only joined this place at the end of 2006. How am I supposed to know what the hell you guys are talking about?:-/

[worMatty]

Take our word for it?

[CJH]

Take our word for it?

Trust you guys? HA!:D Okay then.

[quakerworm]

Trust you guys?
have we ever lied to you?

[worMatty]

Trust me and we will escape from the city.

[CJH]

What city? :confused:

[quakerworm]

racoon city, with your luck.

[CJH]

racoon city, with your luck.

You don't know anything about my luck. How can you just make random statments about my luck if you know nothing?

[Shadowmoon]

You don't know anything about my luck. How can you just make random statments about my luck if you know nothing?

There just playing with you.

There just joking with you, in other words.

[worMatty]

If you don't want to escape from Raccoon City, CJH, that's fine by me but it's going to be nuked shortly. At least give me your weapons and health.

Raccoon City is from Resident Evil/Biohazard. Anyone would be lucky to escape from it.

I prefer not to scape. Because that implies me getting in first D:

luck has nothing to do with it. now stop wasting time and pass me another chain of ammo.

But then you won't get to shoot zombies. :cool:

[shadowman]

Thank you for been so sarcastic, but how many so people won't beleive that i lurked the forum?

I said shut up so there was no argue about it.

*ahem*

It's not that we don't believe. We just don't care.
He was saying that it's a coincidence that you've lurked here around then and things like that while evidently one of his cousins was going through a similar scenario.

Yes, that was alliteration at the end there. :p

Yeah, i looked at that. Can someone please do another one?

Or would the mods lock it?

[quakerworm]

there is a singularity in the forum. everyone who has been long enough knows that it exists and that not even light can escape. as i recall, there have even been a few expeditions to find it. but gravitometers went off the scale and ze goggles, zey did nothing!

[CJH]

You know you've been on the T17 Forum too much when you come here and start making pointless lists...:-/ Hang on...

If it gets too out of hand, and if people start attaching it directly to the forum probably.
