631. When you read all 565 unread posts in a thread so you can add the next witty statement and 1/2 hour later realize that nothing of value was in any if those 565 posts...
663. You spend more time on forums than actually playing the game ^_^
Oooooh yeah... I'm here :
- when I wake up, to see new posts written while asleep; - when I go to the bathroom; - when I take my first break from work; - when I go to lunch; - when I take my second break; - when I get back home with the kids; - when I go to the bathroom again; - after eating dinner; - before going to sleep; - a few random times during the days;
... well, you get my point.
Edit : I have only 367 posts here, but 2,464 visits. Yeah, I'm here often.

In my case you may add:
- Whenever I receive an email about a flagged post - Whenever I receive an email about a PM
668. You wake up, starts to open threads you want to read and end up like this: 669. By the time you are done with first series, there are new responses in at least half as many threads =D
670. You remember when the forum had a disagree button
Did it keep track of how many 'Disagrees' you had in your profile? That would have been fun if it did. Being Irish I probably would have had the record by now!
678. You think you become better at knowing a thread will become inflammatory no matter what the issue is, particularly (not always) when absolutes are used in the subject line.
679. You didn't know that a thread was going to fly clean off the rails on the most innocent of subjects.
The movie Forrest Gump has a scene in it that says it pretty well and it apples to both numbers here.
Ya can't prevent everything, but sometimes it's what 'happens' afterwards that often shows the true measure of a forum.

Seriously, this forum is the least toxic community I've seen in the Web.
677. The forum continues to be as great as people say.
