302. You remember why certain symptoms, such as #46, no longer make sense.

[Courk]

303. You miss the old forums. No not those, the older ones, the ones where it'd currently be 19004.

[Lucky Wizard]

304. You weren't a GLer back in the days of those forums, but you've visited them anyway.

[Agamemnon]

305 - You joined before the wonderful Courk, but still don't have a clue what she's on about.

[Courk]

Although you joined 10 days before me, I had been lurking for almost a year. The first forum switch came when I was just beginning to lurk. Had I joined at that time, I'd probably be about equal to Quailman in terms of time as a GLer. One of the first new puzzles I remember seeing was Sleeping Beauty.

Wow... that's 5 years of GLage for me.

[thunder]

306 - You know that 5 years in GL Age is 12 years in Manatee age

[Agamemnon]

Yeah, well I was lurking for TWO years before I joined. Nah!

[Courk]

I still have more posts, n00b

[Agamemnon]

I used to have 15395 posts, but gave away 10000 to save the Manatees.

[Dragon Phoenix]

307. You decide only to post in VG and MG for a while, but get sucked into the other forums again.

[Lucky Wizard]

308. You're willing to bump this thread just to post symptoms.

309. When working on a puzzle recently, you figured you'd head over to http://www.wordsmith.org to use their anagram solver. You began typing in the address bar, and just before you pressed enter, you looked at the address bar and saw that you'd somehow typed wordcross.org instead.

[The Ragin' South Asian]

310. After reading that, you check to see if www.wordcross.org exists

[Courk]

311. After realizing it doesn't, you try wordcross.com.

[Rino]

312. You don't register because you don't want to become a Daedalian member, forcing you to admit your addiction.

313. You then register just to have an alias that people won't guess because you're supposedly diehard on not registering.

314. Some Romanian steals your unregistered name.

315. You get hooked on the mysterious unused Forum, realize it's dead, so you stop visiting the GL altogether.

316. You come back years later and realize you can't remember your password and register a mispelled alias just so at least Hy, Mith, and Courk might recognize who's posting.

[Courk]

317. You break the story of your life down to 5 symptoms.

[Rino]

318. You edit your message to appease Courk who was obviously feeling left out.

[wordcross]

w00t! I mess around in people's subconscious now! *frolics among grey-matter*

321. You are so starstruck by mith's awesome presence that you steal other people's "welcome back"s.

Welcome back to you too, Kd. ~snogs~

[Kd]

I'm an attention seeking little girl. Deal with it. Nobody else welcomed me back yet, so I took the first one I saw. It's not nice to rain on the parade of a fragile flower such as myself. *disappears before anyone else can see me mess up*
