    I was just wondering who else just wanders around the site throughout the day when they're not busy at work. I have my suspicions, but lets see who checks in...

    Happy Trolling! Jay:cool:

    I'm going to compile a "You know you're a WA troll when..." list. here's what I got for starters:

    1. You have more than 10 posts per day.
    2. You know other members by first name, yet you've never actually met them.
    3. You have ever received the following error message when clicking on active topics: This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between searches. Please try again in xx seconds.
    4. You check your post count daily (Or even more often!)
    5. You change your avatar as often as you change your socks.
    6. You start going through WA withdrawl if you are unable to log in for an extended period of time.
    7. You start going through WA withdrawl if nobody else is making new posts and you've already replied to all recent threads.
    8. When you call your provider's customer service line you end up talking over the rep's head with so much technical talk they don't understand your problem.
    9. Sorry, there are no new threads to view. You may search for threads updated during the previous 24 hours, here.

    Feel free to add your suggestions...

    -Jay

    I've never gotten that one, I guess because I always use the "active topics" search.

    You know your addicted to WA when:

    10. You only got Firefox so subscribe to WA's RSS feeds.

    11. You start coding your site in WA shortcuts instead of HTML. (This one is personal... eek :p)

    12. You start referring yourself as your WA username.

    13. You check your PM's. You have none... so you check them again.

    14. You wake-up at 3AM, go to the bathroom, and check WA for new posts on the way back to bed.

    15. You go into withdrawls during dinner.

    16. You actually start saying IMO, LOL, and HTH in person.

    17. You say "SCROLL UP" when someone asks you what you said.

    18. You bought that new monitor just to make WA look better.

    19. You forget about your phone because you talk about other phones here too much.

    20. Your kid's initials are WA.

    Lol I make myself laugh :rotfl:.

    I'm guilty of #14. If I were married it would probably piss my wife off. Lil Princess PM'ed me this morning and asked me if I ever slept... LOL

    I browse WA mostly at work b/c my connection speeds elsewhere are too slow. And I've got my cookie set so I don't have to login.

    (You know who you are :p).

    3. You have ever received the following error message when clicking on active topics: This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between searches. Please try again in xx seconds.

    I get this all the time.

    4. You check your post count daily (Or even more often!)

    I do this all the time.

    6. You start going through WA withdrawl if you are unable to log in for an extended period of time.

    Yep.

    7. You start going through WA withdrawl if nobody else is making new posts and you've already replied to all recent threads.

    Yep.

    13. You check your PM's. You have none... so you check them again.

    Yep.

    15. You go into withdrawls during dinner.

    And yep.

    Lol I'm pretty addicted to points 1-20 so I won't respond to each one. Add to that I'm online at 5 AM in the morning (working in the afternoon is cool :D, sleep in!!). I check WA mostly from home and from work if I have a few quiet moments where my colleagues can handle customers or working requests.

    I'll add a couple points too:

    You know you're addicted to WA when:

    21. ....you haven't been on for a day or longer and then feel the need to check your User CP, the Active Topics, New Posts, forums and Cell Site gallery posts in one walkthrough.

    22. .....you sleepwalk to your PC and start posting when you know you were actually asleep.

    23. .....you pass on going out with your buddies since WA is the more urgent matter.

    Yes, I am a WA Troll... I'm guilty of at least 75% of these things. Once I tried to used the forum code to italicize a word for a memo in our billing system at work. That's when I realized I'm on here too much.

    Thank you all for the kind welcome! As it just so happens, I literally AM a troll. I have been labeled a troll in discussion rooms in EBAY, lol. (They ought to start discussions topic on how to best lose money!) Some of the advice they are giving new EBAYERs is CERTAIN to lose money! Although most are not businesspeople, but just hobbyists with good intentions, opposing viewpoints arent very welcome there, but I do love it so! Just found this great site and really got concerned by the thread about agents and felt I needed to respond. Funny how people can see the same thing in such different ways!

    Ok, I just read his profile. I get it sorta... What makes him a troll smasher though? He hasn't even logged onto the site in a month, and he had to be a troll sometime to get that kind of post count with an average of over 1 post per day, and be inactive for a month. Maybe I should PM him and invite him to The Troll Thread? LOL
