[OT] You know you have been hanging around ENWorld to long when...

[Tsyr]

...you are writing a paper for college and, when trying to put something in italics, you type

...on the Japanese [i.]shinto[/i.]religion...

And, when you print out your paper, you blink at it for a minute and try to figure out where you messed up your formating.

*hides in shame*

Good thing I caught that before I turned it in...

(.'s not part of the error, just that /code doesn't seem to actualy prevent the boards native code...)

I know I've been hanging around too long when I start using ENWorld in-jokes on other forums.

I accused Piratecat of holding my oldest and greatest character sheet hostage on another forum.

your tag has changed yet again, and you can't remember doing it (gotta speak to the mods about that one i guess)

I realised I'd been around here too long when I was on my webcomics group and found myself about to post a good long story about how some people actually wanted to close dodgy threads. (Then again, the KeenSpace groups are far more savage and brutal than anything around here... we've had month-long flame wars about Trojan pottery. Somebody suggested getting a moderator once, but that kinda fizzled out.)

You're quoted by (soon-to-be?) infamously witty virtual biographers

Ye Gods I've been quoted! Pardon me while I die of shock, or something.

I know I stay on the inernet too much. I catch myself actually SAYING "lol" outloud sometimes.

 

[Frostmarrow]

When in a quality assurance meating at work you state: "It has not been approved by the EN-board."

 

[Knight Otu]

When you start posting to the hivemind threads.

 

[Dispater]

When you've written a thousand word post somewhere - well aware nothing is any good in RL.

 

[arwink]

When you start posting to the hivemind threads.

Or you start worrying about stepping on people's toes when Hivemind is mentioned outside of meta...
